[Game] 28/82: Kings vs. Lakers 19 DEC 2024 7pm PT/10pm ET

[Bosnian Diehard]

Hasn’t been the best home court for quite a while unfortunately. Different building and entirely different set of fans from the Arco Thunder days

It’s still a great atmosphere though, compared to the other ones in the league. It gets crazy loud in there, sadly this team doesn’t give them much reason to get loud.

 

[TaxMan]

A losing to the lakers sucks, but hey at least the warriors lost by 50

 

[PorchSurfin]

Lakers bench = 30pts
Kings bench = 17pts
Lakers win by 13

Pattern?

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

6-9 at home is a crazy stay for a Sacramento team. That’s just unacceptable for the fans here who provide the best homecourt advantage in the NBA and for the prices people pay to go see these games.

Take a look at the total home record for 3 seasons with this core and coach. It's really disturbing

 

[NewArena]

Maybe this isn't why we lost but they literally took out our best player midway in that 3rd quarter and everything went downhill. Disgusting at this point if we don't send film to the league office

Well it's not the building or fans fault

 

[iowamcnabb]

Hey, you know what, Fox came out and talked some stuff. Put up numbers but in the end, empty. On you dude.

Yeh you can’t ask the franchise to trade away all their future assets and then lay an egg the next game. Fox in past seasons has won us a bunch of games. How many times has he put us on his back and carried us to victory this year? Sure he has had huge games like the 60 piece but that was still a loss. If Brown loses his job this year it will be because management decided he can’t maximize Fox. I’m wondering if Mike himself is wondering if he can.

 

[Caccia]

Can we play with more grit than the lakers the last 8 minutes?

Apparently not. I am not sure what the deal is but the Lakers made excellent plays in the fourth quarter and the Kings did not.

 

[NewArena]

That does make me feel better actually

 

[Sam0ah]

Just start Keon Ellis again, play Isaac Jones, and stop helping so much?

Shouldn't be so difficult, this team isn't bad

Exactly!

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Kings now 0-2 versus the lakers this season. They have not lost the regular season series versus the lakers since 2019-20.

 

[SLAB]

That Denver loss might be the most brutal loss you can have in Game 27 ever. Just an absolute breaker of momentum.

 

[Joshyjosh31]

Why is Mike Brown still on the sideline at this point and not kicked for yelling at refs? If you don’t take one for the team after that BS technical, then you’re not showing your players the passion. This team has lost heart and I’m just baffled how that’s happened with the same basic core.

Ya it’s the refs fault lmao

 

[NewArena]

Unless you blow the Lakers out in the next game, i don't know how these guys can even hold their head up high. You can't keep getting spanked in front of your loyal fans. I'm so sick

 

[luckytkp]

We are a bad team, that little streak when we beat the bottom 3 teams were fool’s gold.

It has to be about maximizing the whole core and unit. Just maximizing Fox isn't enough

 

[thingfish]

Ya it’s the refs fault lmao

I’m not blaming the refs. I’m asking for someone on this team(starting with the coach) to show some ****ing heart!

 

[Joshyjosh31]

5 damn fouls on Fox with 7 minutes left in the 3rd quarter. What other star is treated like this??

For starters he ain’t the star you think he is second why are you reachigg he when you have four fouls only an idiot does that

Yeah, you know, Fox ISN'T the issue, but you talk, you walk. Plain and simple. Maybe this puts him back into where he needs to be. This is what happens when contracts and all the crap of the NBA lines up in the wrong way but you have to buy in regardless.

 

[NewArena]

Then we have the Pacers on a back to back lol i'm sure Haliburton will suddenly become aggressive and drop 50, so we can also suffer through the media slobbering on an equally average team.

 

[AaronPDX]

Last season and the season before, Fox seemed to really be figuring it all out. It's like he's regressing and it's just stopped. Maybe this is all Fox has. Getting pretty sick of back to losing.

 

[Sam0ah]

I am beyond done with this coach!

 

[Joshyjosh31]

If Derozan doesn’t wanna be a sixth man trade him

 

[iowamcnabb]

We have a depth problem but this is on your starting and closing 5. If they can’t play with flow, get stops, hit shots, take care of the basketball and rebound the Cam Johnsons and DFS won’t help us.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Out of curiosity, were Sabonis' numbers "empty," too?

 

[Sam0ah]

Brown doesn't seem to want to make the hard decisions.. He wants them to appear to him somehow..... I think that is why his rotations are so weird.

 

[coolhandluke]

Mike Brown calling out players last game not getting the expected reaction.

 

[Joshyjosh31]

Might as well ask for two more wishes team has no heart and it starts with fox

 

[iowamcnabb]

sure but it starts with your main guy. If Fox wants to be a super max level player we need to see Angry Fox every single game. Not for 48 minutes but for some of it.

 

[coolhandluke]

Minnesota lost badly to us in the midst of a bad slump and came out strong to run off a winning streak. It's the mentality. Crying over outside circumstances is weak.
