See just a little defense and good things happen

 

[Caccia]

Newsflash: Keon Ellis ran a successful fast break! And one.

he can run em he just can’t lead em haha

 

[TheMobb]

Tyus Jones is the backup PG we need. A steady hand that’s a knockdown shooter.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Only down by by five, although a little better ball handling at the end there and the kings might have bleed

 

[iowamcnabb]

Monk Giveth and Taketh away

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Lavine waits too long on end of quarter plays

 

[New Era]

Monk has become almost unbearable to watch lately. DC needs to muster up the courage to send him to the bench. It's the obvious choice that the entire world sees but him.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Why does this team wait so long to start playing to their full capabilities?

 

[megapoxy]

LaVine 4 shots at halftime, another problem NOT solved.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Being able to blitz the point of attack with Domas instead of Jonas makes a huge difference.

Certainly an underrated quality of his!

 

[megapoxy]

Monk is playing like R1 is stuck in his controller and pressed the whole time (at least in NBA live like 20 years ago, no clue if the newer versions are still like that).

Need I point out that Monk is the only experienced point guard on the team?

He wasn't the problem in the first half.... Lavine only shooting 4 shots is a bigger issue

If he runs the point (Monk) and doesn't try to find Zach that makes him part of the problem. No chemistry between them? Similar players perhaps? No clue...Zach seems to get along when he has the 2nd unit next to him, or Monk is absent. That last pass from Zach to Monk to beat the buzzer for halftime looked as if he was pissed.

3/14 from three vs 12/22 and only down 5?

 

[datamanwes]

I am sitting here watching this game with my wife who wanted me to say this to the group. She said "They say Zach isnt scoring points but he needs the ball to score points. Malik either takes it to the rim or passes it to Sabonis"

 

[Sluggah]

Barf.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Ugh! Come on Kings is it really that hard to keep momentum going from 1/2 into the next half?

 

[Joshyjosh31]

Im in complete shock the suns came out strong vs Monk, Derozan, and Lavine who would’ve thought

 

[iowamcnabb]

15-27 vs 3-16 is insane

 

[megapoxy]

15-27 vs 3-16 is insane

And the Suns have missed 6-7 at least wide open ones.

 

[jphilip]

Trade him waive him we ned s pg play fultz or gtfo

 

[Joshyjosh31]

This idiot ref thinks we’re here to watch him

 

[Caccia]

Good Lord! What the heck was that?

 

[Sluggah]

Eject that fool

 

[HndsmCelt]

I’ve always loved Monk’s game, thought he was one of the best six men in the league. I was surprisingly impressed how well he function as a starting 2 guard. I’m really done with watching him as a primary ball handler.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Good Lord! What the heck was that?

I know what it was not… a basketball play.

 

[Caccia]

Trade him waive him we ned s pg play fultz or gtfo

Good luck with that.

 

[Tetsujin]

lol Plumlee

Monk's defense is the problem. Can't expect to win playing him with a couple of other below average or negative defenders
