pathetic team

 

[Capt. Factorial]

We have a good record, and some awesome wins, but I swear the losses are so much more annoying this season.

Yes, they are

 

[coolhandluke]

It was the Hornets that were coasting all this time.

those who dont like to see negativity close your browser now lol

I don’t care about his padded stats, Sabonis lost this game.

 

[See_Hanks]

Since they lost tonight they better friggin win their first "2nd night of back to back" or the crowd will boo them, and rightly so. What a pathetic performance from a team which has me hating them because of how good they are, only to lose to a terrible team.

 

[The_Jamal]

Yeah, how do you blow out a full strength Grizzlies squad and lose at home to a CHA team without Ball/Hayward?

Team continues to make no sense.

 

[SacTownKid]

The only concern coming out of this one is if what Clifford did to Malik and Fox is something other teams do. This is the first time a team has really focused their defense all on Monk and Fox and it took Fox out of the 1st half and Monk pretty much out of the whole game.

 

[Elektrik]

Clear case of this team looking past their opponent.

 

[Caccia]

They get up for the good teams, and down for the bad teams. At least the Kings beat Washington.

Not counting on it. The kings have sucked on back to backs.. and it's against a good team vs the magics

I do give some credit to the Hornets they did a really good job in the post causing problems and then they got a supernova TR. still this is just an awful feeling. Pay back for the Atlanta game.

 

[See_Hanks]

I am on the trade bandwagon now. This team has me so pissed off because of how good they are playing horrible like tonight. Trade Huerter, Barnes, and any bench player not named Monk.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Well-deserved loss. Didn’t do anything to deserve to win this. Worst loss of the year and another game that they prove they’re not a serious team. Super disappointing.

 

[est.1999]

Baffling team

 

[Tizzy Flip]

Yikes

I expect they'll get it up for the Magic game because we tend to not take good teams lightly.

Concerning we've lost our last 2 "easy" games vs POR and now CHA. There's very few of them on the schedule and these are the losses that bite us in the ass come playoff seeding time.

That's the thing though, no excuses here, the Kings were conserving gas the whole game so they better have reserves for tomorrow.

 

[iowamcnabb]

We turned what started as a pretty good defensive performance into a loss. Real opportunity to build some momentum defensively

 

[KF8]

Thanks for nothing again barnes. Why did monte ever pay barnes 19 million. What a blunder.

 

[Tetsujin]

For whatever reason, aside from that one time that the Luke Walton Kings randomly blew the pre-Bridges getting busted for DV Hornets out by 30 early in the season and then proceeded to immediately go on a 9 game losing streak, it feels like the Kings have never been able to beat the Hornets at home. Hell, Boogie once dropped a 50 burger on them and we still lost.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Can someone explain to me why Sasha can’t play when you can’t get anything going on offense? Why does Barnes get an unlimited leash to have little to no impact on the game.

 

[The_Jamal]

Saw some of the downside of Fox just launching 3's tonight. Every defense is going to live with him scoring 30 on 25 shots. Only 3-10 from 3 and 5-8 from the FT line. Domas only 1 FTA??? Missed the game, but that looks like total BS to me.

 

[MizzouKing]

Apparently Mike made them walk home from Memphis to give these guys a fighting chance…

 

[fansinceday1]

First complete game I've watched. Lots of turnovers. Is it just me or does fox lose his handles an awful lot.

 

[KF8]

Is it time to bench barnes? how many of these 2 point 1 rebound games does he have to have until there's a change?

 

[The_Jamal]

Can someone explain to me why Sasha can’t play when you can’t get anything going on offense? Why does Barnes get an unlimited leash to have little to no impact on the game.

To be fair, 24 minutes as a starter is not "unlimited leash". I'd call that "a short leash and Brown is probably pretty close to making a change" sort of minutes.

Mike Brown is 1000% to blame for every loss against a bottom feeder. He needs to light a fire under their a**

He’s always been very loose with his handle and passing.

Barnes has seen what role he had in the offense disappear. He didn't really play much tonight, the +/- failure falls to Keegan and Malik tonight. Barnes was just out there playing defense for the most part.
