[Game] 45/82: Kings @ Knicks 25 JAN 2025, 4:30pm PT/7:30pm ET

Fox's hand is cooked. Dude has negative touch on literally every single one of his lay-up attempts. Which mean he has no feel on any of his jump-shots.

Sounds like the only solution is he's either plays through it or gets surgery. **** man.

he was fine two weeks ago it’s the other hand

 

[Tetsujin]

glad that we’ve figured things out without Fox on the floor here.

 

[Angelo127]

Yikes

 

[Tetsujin]

he was fine two weeks ago it’s the other hand

Yeah, his touch has been especially off since the second time Joker smacked his thumb in Denver.

 

[TaxMan]

Ehhh….that looked like a give up on that last break. Not only are we struggling with fox shooting but Ellis is not playing as aggressive as he was a week ago.

Oh you right, injuries can't get worse with time. Thanks for the input

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Games over. Bad coaching on this one

 

[SacTownKid]

Alright, another day, a few minutes more and this is entering smart retreat zone. The Nets are up next, don't want to go in there on a bad roll and tired.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

I haven't been able to watch the last few games, but it's incredibly noticeable on the lay-up attempts in this one. He either loses the ball or just clanks it somewhere around the rim. It's him playing bad, it's him not being able to control the ball.

I'm not sure how a lead guard can play well offensively, without being able to feel and control the ball

 

[Tetsujin]

Ehhh….that looked like a give up on that last break. Not only are we struggling with fox shooting but Ellis is not playing as aggressive as he was a week ago.

I feel like Keon is seeing ghosts tonight. The whole Brunson club at the end of that game last year is probably affecting his every play tonight.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

glad that we’ve figured things out without Fox on the floor here.

Put holes in a boat, walks off the boat and wonders why it's sinking. Good logic.

He killed us today period. Its coaches fault for allowing it

Ok? And?

 

[Joshyjosh31]

So it took two months to get magically worse or when denver injured his other hand let’s think here

 

[SacTownKid]

Plenty of players play through pinky stuff, having both hands compromised? That's time to shut it down and rest. At some point you're just keeping the iflammation high for no reason.

 

[sactowndog]

Bruh OG hasn’t taken a shot with hand in his face all game

no rotation guarding space. Can’t attach the pick but the starters are horrible in their rotations without Keon

 

[fansinceday1]

They need some time off. Hopefully a night out in NY is the medicine they need.

 

[Joshyjosh31]

Knicks shooting 47% from three

 

[TaxMan]

Not going to beat the Knicks when OG and Bridges are hitting high volume threes

 

[Tetsujin]

Brunson has Keon’s number. My lord

 

[Kingz19]

he was fine two weeks ago it’s the other hand

While he also has issues with his right hand..the Scary Movie 2 pinky that he has to tape to his ringfinger is on his dominant left hand.

 

[Angelo127]

Are the Kings able to play defense?

 

[TaxMan]

Brunson has Keon’s number. My lord

There are certain types of players that Keon struggles against defensively.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Ok? And?

He's hurting the team trying to play through this

 

[SacTownKid]

Brunson has Keon’s number. My lord

Not sure why Devin is getting these 4 mpg stretches. It's either babying the wrist or babying the rookie and just looking to get his feet wet this season. He's built for facing teams like this. Killing you on the boards and with bodies.

 

[Joshyjosh31]

While he also has issues with his right hand..the Scary Movie 2 pinky that he has to tape to his ringfinger is on his dominant left hand.

Again he was playing fine before the hip and right thumb injury if his left hand had the possibility of getting worse they wouldn’t have let him play with it to begin with

 

[Tetsujin]

Dammit De’Aaron why’d you make Malik turn it over?

 

[hrdboild]

I'm cheesed that he runs around the building, like he's Steph Curry, when the refs allow him to play however he wants. He gets away with a foul on Keon's 3 and then gets a bullcrap "landing space" call on Keegan, who didn't even drift beyond the 3pt line.

These guys are good enough, they don't need the refs to baby them. And that's all this Knicks team is.

They're at home. He's supposed to play to the crowd is he not?

I'm usually the biggest ref hater in the room but some of these were the right calls. Keegan did foul him on that play. The Knicks play physical and the Kings typically don't. I think we've mostly dug our own hole in this one.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

He said his hand was injured at beginning of the season. He's had career numbers to start the year. Are we going to negate these facts.

If his hands are that hurt, he's gotta be the most selfish player on the planet to shoot 18 dam times with only 4 assist as a pg.

Witch is is

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Murray is playing way too timid and soft. buck up dude

 

[SacTownKid]

C'mon DC, time to put your inner Luke Walton to bed dude!
