How can you lose with no embiid or a y other star powwr?! Every o es got to go were not conpetinglets be real

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Whether he’s injured, mailing it in, hiding behind his wife, hiding behind his agent …don’t care

It's an either and not an either or.

 

[SacTownKid]

I mean, it honestly doesn't matter at this point. Just watching this game, the whole Fox saga has sucked the life out of this team. This has not been the squad that shows up under Doug Christie. Figuring out what happens with him is all that's going to matter until the deadline.

Yeah, but the minute pounding was going to be an issue at some point regardless. It usually is right about the halfway mark of a tough road trip. And here they are, grazing the front iron, bent over huffing and puffing. DC has to start game planning better otherwise his run at the helm might not be long one.

Are you having a stroke?

Fatigue makes cowards of us all. Combined with the mental fatigue and you have the potential for a bit of a bad run heading up into the break.

To be fair, we have not been good in the past 5 games. We were down double digit in every one of them.

Yeah, his sub patterns have been pretty awful if we're being honest. Len in the 1H, sucks and gives up a bunch of point sand doesn't go back to him. Devin Carter gets 1 stint in the 1st half, no chance to get a rhythm. Keon had a fairly poor game tonight, 2-10 shooting, wasn't his usual self on D, but there's just no excuse to be running all the starters 37+ and Keon only 17. Shave 4 minutes off 2 of those guys and get Keon to 25 consistently.

The lost has nothing to with Fox. We can't hit 3s like usual and our lack of size is exposed again.

Lack of size? The Sixers were playing a bunch of guards and a 6’7 center

 

[Rob-The-Great]

They're both Fox apologists

A lot of those around these days. Putting a player ahead of the team is crazy

 

[kingsfan_4Life]

Well guess we are back to not playing like a playoff team. Oh well, the run was fun folks and at least it lasted for a few weeks. At least they gave us hope for awhile there. I guess it was too good to be true.

I don't understand what you're saying but I'm mad too, bro.

 

[SLAB]

Was hoping Christie would keep our heads above water.

Just rip the bandaid off and trade Fox. ASAP.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Will Fox be available for press conference? Or shall I just move on with my night?

The lack of beef maybe, gee, sure would have been nice if the Kings lone power guard in Carter could get more than 3 minutes, lol.

You got to be kidding me. This game has everything to do with fox

The sad thing is he was. The Christie bump got us back into this playoff race and we were playing up to the talent potential on this team.

Tonight just looked like a team dejected. I don't really see how there's going to be a fix for that if he's still here past the deadline.

move on with the night

 

[Caccia]

If this was Fox's last game, too bad it was a loss.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Christie's minutes are very questionable. His lack of playing Carter and Issac is very worrisome. I dont understand it at all. Like what is he doing. Fox is gone! Even if he wasn't he hasn't played good for like 10 games man

 

[Hoovtrain]

It's an either and not an either or.

over it. Today coupled with tonight showed exactly where his head is at.

 

[luckytkp]

Lack of size? The Sixers were playing a bunch of guards and a 6’7 center

yes, but they were big guards, obure/council/edwards are all 6'6 and above. They might be listed as guard, but doesn't mean they are small.

 

[Elektrik]

Feel like this game is about to spiral

You called it…

 

[iowamcnabb]

Some of it was the 3 pointers didn’t fall but we have to balance our offense with defense some. A lot of one or two good defender lineups out there

 

[The_Jamal]

The lack of beef maybe, gee, sure would have been nice if the Kings lone power guard in Carter could get more than 3 minutes, lol.

Fox 34 || Carter 14
Monk 34 || Keon 14
Keegan 28 || Keon 10 || Huerter 10
DDR 34 || Keegan 6 || Lyles 8
Domas 34 || Lyles 14

Keon- 24
Lyles-22
Carter-14
Huerter-10

And this is keeping all the starters at 34 MPG. So there's 100% room to get the bench units some actual run and not burn out the flame of the starters night in and night out.

 

[Hoovtrain]

very disappointing

 

[iowamcnabb]

yes, but they were big guards, obure/council/edwards are all 6'6 and above. They might be listed as guard, but doesn't mean they are small.

Council has given us trouble before, he plays physical. Lowry hit timely shots while we missed and Maxey did what he does even with good defense.

 

[captain bill]

Starting to smell like sulphur in here. I don’t wanna go back to basketball hell

 

[coolhandluke]

Poor choices on both offense and defense. We didn't exploit the size advantage down low with Sabonis taking only 6 shots. We went into the blitz on defense too early and just gave up wide open looks to their role players.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

I had a bad feeling about this game. I didn't want to say anything. I thought Christie would play fox a max of 25 min to prove a point that we didn't need him, instead we play him as if he's locked in to the Kings.

The kings have me a over the place this season. Peob the most roller coaster season I've ever been a part of. This is wild. The emotions are too much smh

I still can't believe he hasn't transitioned from Huerter to Keon and Carter. I really don't get it, Huerter can hit shots once and awhile but much like Adelman a great 8 1/2 man rotation is better than... whatever the heck Christie is doing here. It almost defies logic. What is he seeing with some of these patterns?
