[Game] Kings @ Chicago Bulls, 2/3/2024, 5:00p PT/8:00p ET

This needs to stop now. If you can't control your emotions when the Kings struggle, you ought to log off for the evening.

I'm not the non-Kings fan who started attacking Kings fans on a Kings forum but OK.

Leave it to Kings fans to be annoyed when their color commentator confirms something that they should be able to see with their own eyes.

Ok Monk

Two free throws

nope but didn't matter......not impressed at all with this game

 

[ick300]

Well much more difficult then necessary but the W is there , so happy day for us

 

[hrdboild]

Caruso looks like he has blood on his elbow. From someone else perhaps?

 

[iowamcnabb]

Blood pressure elevated

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Barnes is our most convincing shooter at the line. Would choose him over anyone on the roster for big ones

 

[The_Jamal]

Kings 5-6 FTA here in the last 30 seconds of the game. Need waaay more of that going forward.

2nd night of a B-B road win? Ya, we take these all day everyday.

 

[LoungeLizard]

Phew. Classic Kings. Never a doubt.

 

[kingdivac]

I do agree with the sentiment - where is Len? Could've used rim presence and rebounding

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Caruso looks like he has blood on his elbow. From someone else perhaps?

He hit the floor hard when he went for that loose ball on the baseline

 

[hrdboild]

Blood pressure is up after this one. We still have big problems to solve on defense but finding a way to win is ultimately all that matters.

 

[forza kings]

What would it take to get Caruso? He is a defensive monster.

Problems on offense as well. They "die" by the 3 too often, which lets teams back in games from way down

 

[sactowndog]

Whew! On to Cleveland

LA was crazy to let him go

 

[The_Jamal]

This is just bad coaching. I'm convinced of it. Do you think Pat Riley lets a 20-4 run happen?

Yeah man, we totally should go get George Karl, or Ty Corbin, or Luke Walton back. Or how about the last time we fired our great coach! That worked out awesome!

Fans drive me absolutely nuts when they want to can their top 10 coach. 49ers fans are notoriously horrible at this too when they want Shanahan gone for absolutely no reason. It can and has gotten a lot worse.

Brown isn't perfect, by any means. His fascination with Javale is mind-blowing and I think he gets way too stuck in keeping guys in static positions. But basically this entire team has played the best basketball of their career in the last season and they've totally bought into everything he's teaching and coaching. 77-53 under Brown is far beyond any expectation that anyone could have had for this team the last few years. Everyone thought we would fall off this year and we're right back on track for a 50 win season.

In the bag the entire time. Foxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[sono]

Narrow escape, only Kings can turn one of their flawless games into a nightmare.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Fox with 11 steals in 2 games. Angry Fox is good Fox

 

[The_Jamal]

I dunno, but if I were a real contender with a title window right now, I'd be willing to pay the cost to get him. Dude without a doubt is a piece that puts a team over the top.

 

[NewArena]

Gotta shoot the Kings some bail, in the sense that they were obviously exhausted. They got it done! I’m concerned with the blown leads, and yes this shouldn’t happen so often, but I’m proud of these guys. 10 games over .500 in this difficult western conference is flat out impressive. Period.

 

[hrdboild]

Problems on offense as well. They "die" by the 3 too often, which lets teams back in games from way down

Yeah. It worries me how often we're one and done on the offensive side of the floor too. I know we want to get up a lot of threes which isn't necessarily a problem but we should be passing the ball into open threes not pulling up without ever making the defense work to, y'know, defend us. I really really hate how rarely we send guys in there to crash the glass too and try to get ourselves extra possessions. If we're going to shoot long jumpers this much, we should be making more of an effort to contest those rebounds. It plays into giving up big runs to the other team when they don't even have to expend much energy on the defensive side of the floor. We're a poorly disciplined team but I don't blame the Coach for that. His reputation precedes him. The culture of laziness here is tough to crack.

 

[dude12]

This criticism of Brown is just lame. Some of you are losing your heads watching the Kings. Yeah, they lost the big lead but never gave it up and down the stretch they held firm to win by 8.

 

[Kingz19]

Great game by Fox

Liking his steals recently. 6 last night and 5 tonight.

Monk and Trey were excellent again.

Another quiet night for Keegan. HB was alright. Especially hitting a big shot at the end.

Domas was solid. Was gassed during the third quarter run by the Bulls and it showed in some of the decisions he made but overall solid triple double

Rough night for Huerter

Kings start feeling themselves way too much when they get way ahead. Start passing up good shots and start getting cute and start turning it over. Fortunately the Bulls didn’t shoot that great and never stopped turning it over themselves. A better offensive team would’ve finished the comeback and won.

Was constantly in the back of my mind.

He deserves criticism just like any player (including max players), when they're doing stupid things. Doesn't mean he should be fired. Just needs to realize the mistakes and fix them

But Brown sucks at coaching?

Make it make sense!

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Gotta shoot the Kings some bail, in the sense that they were obviously exhausted...

Apparently wasn't obvious enough to some people.

Brown didn’t do anything wrong. We went cold, Chicago got hot. Not that hard to understand.
