"There was no reason for there to be a hard closeout. We were ok with them scoring a 2, so there was no reason for a hard close out at all."

Hey Mike, maybe you don't let them shoot at all huh? ****ing sad.

Ship Fox to Atlanta for Trae Young. I'm so far over him. It's not even funny. He is trash. He thinks he is great. Make the move Monte.

As much as I want change. Fox actually played pretty well all game. Not sure Trae Young would help this team.

+1 to everyone criticizing the isos down the stretch - I agree. Also, Keegan Murray scored 9 p in a blink of an eye in the 1st Q and finished with just 11. That is wild. He was slashing for driving dunks to start and down the stretch all he was doing was fadeaway 25 footers - Someone's gotta be in his ear to maintain the aggressiveness he had early.

lol dudes a lost cause

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Fox is the master of disappearing for 1 quarter a game. I'm not talking about shots only. He just disappears for periods in the game. I'm over his gambling defense. This game shouldn't have even been close.

Detroit has passed us up? How? I'm over stars, just give me team basketball at this point. It's the Kings way. Give me back 3 years ago before Fox got his I'm clutch award.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

I'd buy that if it was body contact. It was his hands.

Yup. That was the error compounded. It's one thing to get up in the air,...but to then softly put both hands on the guy as he is going into his shooting motion. Just inexcusable

 

[megapoxy]

And we all thought the loss vs the Nuggets would hurt more in the season...
If I am not wrong Kings had 5 assists in the whole 2nd half, part of it was Fox playing heroball most of the time.
Mike Brown of course puts the blame on the players...once more.

 

[Angelo127]

Mike Brown is an idiot

 

[gunks]

Lol holy ****, how???!

 

[pdxKingsFan]

As much as I want change. Fox actually played pretty well all game. Not sure Trae Young would help this team.

He was 1-7 in the first half. He had a nice second half.

But no to Trae. If we move on we should role the dice on rookie contract guys and picks not bail out another team that made a terrible mistake.

I’m not even sure what he means. Of course you needed a hard close out there. You had a three point lead and you’re trying to deny a three point

And the Pistons just did their name sake on the defense to even get back in this one. Shouldn't have even been in that situation... AGAIN. The Pistons closed the gap way to easily to get back in it yet no adjustment.

I honestly want going to be upset if they lost tonight given how things have been going but losing on a 4 point play is soul crushing. How many nba games have been won with a 4 point play in the last 5 seconds of a game? Cant be many

Fox has his flaws, to be sure. Literally none of those flaws would be ameliorated by trading him for Trae Young.

Mike Brown:

"I don't like the pace we had in the last six minutes. I told our guys push it...drive it and kick it. And we come to a complete stop with 6 minutes to go. 3 minutes to go we are rolling the ball and walking with it."

— Matt George (@MattGeorgeSAC) December 27, 2024

Uh oh. We know who the resident ball walker and roller is. Sounds like a shot

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Absolutely not for Trae Young c'mon now.

Don't care at this point. Tre and a pick and I'm sold

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Like there's actually good deals to be had if we move on. Why would we take a bad one?

 

[Sam0ah]

Fox is worth a lot more than that, but I get the frustration.

 

[Angelo127]

Mike Brown needs to stop overthinking things and honestly just play defense

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Well, at least Brown just called out Fox for the stupid play and foul to lose the game

 

[The_Jamal]

I think this is it. Would honestly be more surprised if we don't see some sort of news tomorrow with Brown, Monte, someone.

 

[Sam0ah]

It really feels like something is going to drop.

 

[SacTownKid]

Brown is actually almost physically pulling these words out of his behind, lol. Final 6 minutes? The offense bogged down. That was it. hahaha. Wow.

 

[iowamcnabb]

And the Pistons just did their name sake on the defense to even get back in this one. Shouldn't have even been in that situation... AGAIN. The Pistons closed the gap way too easily to get back in it yet no adjustment.

This the 3rd game in the last 6 that the Kings have had a 10 point lead with less than 3 minutes to go. 2 of those losses and one win by 2 points.

You guys don't think that Fox is worth keeping, but you think that Atlanta is going to trade you their franchise player and a pick to get him?

the weird thing about that is you walk and extra 5 seconds or something off the clock but then he shot a 3 (iirc) just a few seconds after getting it past mid-court. If you're going to do that you would want to milk more than 24 off the clock.

 

[NewArena]

I have nothing to say, really. Glad i haven’t been watching

Brown has gotten a lot more pointed with his post game pot shots. Obviously there is plenty of blame to go around but I can’t imagine it’s all peaches and cream with Fox and Brown right now, regardless of how much Daaron says he wants to be coached hard.

 

[Makaveli]

Brown trying to lay it all on Fox. Yeah a trade will be asked for now or Mike brown will be gone.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I watched the whole collapse at some point it's like a movie with a bad twist you can see coming even though there's no justification for the twist but you just say "well it was obvious". That was this game.
