A 33 pt lead? yikes

The Kings swept the Rockets, won the season series against the Grizzlies, and split the season series against the TWolves.

We have no shot vs the Timberwolves didn’t they not have Randle for two of those games. Memphis who knows what’s going on there, houston beats us time to take the purple glasses off team sucks

I'm embarrassed to be a kings fan today. This is pathetic. I wanted so much for Lavine to work. I thought fox taking quarters off was bad. This guy is taking games off!

This is the best worst team I've ever seen. I want to blame coaching, and I will. But you can't teach heart. What a bunch of losers

 

[NewArena]

These early games have never been kind to us huh

Just one more excuse

The tank is on.

Its crazy to think with such an emphasis of drafting PGs the last few years we don't have one on the team right now

but Monk is a "primary ball handler". I thought he was a lead guard, but it doesn't look like it's good enough

JV Lyles and IJ all together...
No idea why Crawford not entering.

 

[Kingz19]

Kayte making her not excuses

Kings playing like they don't wanna even be in the play ins. With the way this team is looking we can maybe take the hornets and wizards but the rest are losses. I'm not sure what happened here but this team had turned in a train wreck and it mightve started with lavine. Shame he's the most significant piece in our return for foxy

Klutch gonna Klutch

Did Keon get hurt?

What a reminder of what we look like defensively with Domas, Monk, Zach, and DDR out there together at the same time… good lord.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

It's time to clean sweep the front office, including the owner's daughter and anyone who has been "advisory"

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

the only reason i’ve ever been to orlando and the only reason i’d go back ain’t on the list.

You didn't bother to clarify what that was but, as a general rule, I try to avoid including poll options if the location is more than 5 miles from downtown of the city in question.

Foul trouble...and after there was no need for him to enter when down -30

I’d like to see IJ get all of Lyle’s minutes moving forward, and most of JV’s too with the way he’s been playing lately.

 

[Tetsujin]

Neither team has scored in two and a half minutes lol

day of any trade I like to spend some time at the opposing teams forums to gauge the trade. Bulls fans were ecstatic that they were able to unload lavine. Most didn’t think they were gonna be able to find anyone to take that load of a contract off their hands.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Well, once again a team that is abysmal from three-point range manages to shoot lights-out versus Sacramento. I'm reminded of a Ron White joke where the punchline was, IIRC, "You know, you'd think that after the first twelve thousand you'd start to go... maybe it's me?"

Yeah, good luck with that. I'm not sure that either Phoenix or Portland is good enough to knock Sacramento out of the play-in.

 

[Srzly]

Might be a hot take, but I wish we had Fox still and had just traded DDR and Sabonis for a new 4 and 5 and picks/young assets (like LaRavia).

edit: assuming Keon starts at the 2 and Keegan slides back to the 3.

And stumbling into the play-ins and accidentally getting into the playoffs is totally a Kings thing to have happen.

It’s 100% what’s going to happen.

Fox didn’t want to be here so essentially you’re just asking for the Kings to blow it up but in a slightly different order than what is actually happening.

 

[gunks]

Oof. Glad I missed this one.

 

[Tetsujin]

The Kings are 2-0 at Minnesota this season and the Suns are consistently one bad play away from a complete and total nuclear meltdown. It’s happening lol.

Well it’s wishful thinking and not realistic since Fox wanted out. I just think we could be a winning team with that as our starting point and I just really wish Fox didn’t blow up our season.

If we had Fox right now instead of Domas, DDR and LaVine, I’d feel much better about our future.
