I was afraid this time the other way around, phew!
As much as we rely on him as a scorer, his impact on the game defensively is where he truly shines as an All-Star caliber player to me. I don't know what's up with him and his fluctuating effort level throughout the season, but he's a real bulldog on defense when he wants to be. It's game-changing stuff when he's getting this many deflections and steals and pulling in key rebounds.
What were his mistakes? The challenge thing? Not calling enough timeouts?

Believe it or not, but teams do this all the time. For instance, Dallas was up 24 at the end of the first tonight. They are currently down by 8 with 6 minutes to go.
No,
The Kings needed a dress-down - they had had 3 turnovers in a row right around the 30 pt lead and needed steadying - instead laissez-faire from Brown.. Everything was going in, but they needed someone to tell them to slow down and take it steady - didn't happen and they got into a tail-spin.
That's what timeouts and substitutions are for.

Ok, I'll make it make sense. Here's my take, and has been for a while: Brown is a great coach with massive limitations.
If that turnover of Bulls in the last minute finished with a 3 pointer instead it was going to end in different way , so we got lucky with deserved win though …
Brown has his issues as every human being and there is nothing bad to discuss them …
Don’t know if you noticed but the last time out we took was mind the speaker and Brown sitting next to him listening ….
Like what? Specifically?

I don't want him fired - but if an upgrade were available, such as Jordy Fernandez - I would strongly consider.
Your reaching. We went cold, they got hot

Extremely poor in-game management for one.

He allows this team to continue to launch 3's, when they're cold, which gives teams a chance to come back from these big leads. Go to something else, call a post play for Murray and/or Barnes, encourage the guys to take it to the rim, etc etc
Why are we 77-53 under Brown then if he has "extremely poor in-game management" ? Surely that would cause us to lose quite a bit more than we do, right?
What else? If he's holding this team back, there has to be more right?
You’re off your game tonight.

Sorry for the emotional posting tonight all…I was on the second night of a back to back too.
Ah no,.......if you can't see what was happening, can't help you. The game isn't some passive shooting clinic..

It's a built in excuse, isn't it. Haha

It's possible to have nuanced observations during a period of a winning record.

The best coaches do this all the time. Why should it be any different for an observant fan

So let me get this straight - a guy wins 300 nights in a row and slips up once and you can't cut him some slack? Man, Kings fans are crazy!

They keep mentioning the Adelman-Webber Kings never had a 7 game road trip where they won 5 games.
That may be true. However, I don’t think those Kings teams ever had such a long road trip. I think the standard back then was always 6 games. I was thinking before this road trip that it seemed especially long. I remember only the Spurs would have those ridiculously long road trips because of the rodeo taking over their building.
The 2001-2002 Kings did sweep a 6 game road trip and won 13 of their last 16 road games.

"nuanced" is certainly a word, that's for sure.

What makes Jordy a better coach? Our defense is bad.
Fox hitting those 2 FTs was critical, and yes it was looking at least like overtime.......and certainly was ugly the 3rd Q. Put it this way, they won't be beating the Cavs with tonight's 3rd quarter replication. Silver lining was FTs though.

I think the (very small) sample of 2 matches in Canada last season and Milwaukee the current one that Brown's ejection left him in charge and he turned things around both times only to lose at Milwaukee at the end with those free throws in OT
