There's nothing like some White Chocolate highlights to brighten the day.
I don't really think that's how curses are supposed to work but, point taken.LeBron shot 8-21 last night and was more miffed about Keegan than DeRozan. That being said, can't fault people for putting out hot takes to generate engagement.
Domantas Sabonis (left ankle sprain), Keegan Murray (left ankle soreness) and Trey Lyles (right calf strain) are all listed as questionable for today's game vs. Indiana.

Sacramento sports media: please stop using national media stories about YOUR @SacramentoKings team for information. Take your ass down to practice the and get your own answers. Own your shit. Nobody should know more about what’s going on with your team than you do. 😳

During the losing streak, Keegan Murray asked De’Aaron Fox if it was a bottom five moment in Fox’s career. 😂

“We were 13-15 or 13-16 at the time he asked me this and I was like, ‘Keegan, if we were 13-16 in my first three years in the league that was fu—in great.’” pic.twitter.com/lUlXMz9zNY

Man, that’s an interesting discussion. So many questions that I think we’ll get answers to after a short time.Tom got some things wrong (including getting Fox’s free agency wrong) but I thought this was a nice segment on the kings. The headline only represents a portion of the video. A lot more knowledgeable about the team than typical media. Lots of advanced metrics, talk about Keon, Fox, Keegan and Demar. Some coach talk to.an interesting were to

We’re up there with the contenders just get rid of Huerter for a wing
With the Kings rating amongst the best in the league in a number of these metrics, it does beg the question why it's not translating to wins. We ought to be around 6th in the West and 9th overall in the league based on Net Rating and this chart suggests that's still underselling how good we've played. Yet even after a 7 game winning streak we're fighting just to stay above .500. "Underperforming because of the coach" doesn't count as an explanation to me because even if that's true, we still have 5 less wins than the on-the-court performance suggests we should have.
We weren’t performing in clutch situations I believe
Christie is serious about his unfinished business.Christie was asked if any of his former teammates from his playing days have reached out to him about his then-7-1 record as interim head coach.
"Mike [Bibby] popped in the other day when we were playing [the] Miami [Heat] in the morning when I was working," Christie said. "[Chris Webber] has texted me numerous times. Bobby [Jackson] has texted me numerous times. Peja [Stojakovic] and Vlade [Divac], things that I can't say, but they definitely have texted me. It's nothing but love for all those guys because without them, I'm not sitting here.
"I think we all understand what I'm here to do, and I think they do. And that's probably why they text me. Because they understand it's not about me, it's more about our team first of all, but also our city and our organization, to try to do what we were so close to doing and we didn't accomplish it."

Did Brown get fired mainly because of poor officiating?
No way!! Wtf happened after that? Did Space Jam happen? Lol.It's often been asked if Ben Simmons is really a point guard, or if he's more of a ballhandling PF. But clearly his best position is tank commander. I suppose it's a luxury to be able to rest him on back-to-backs when your primary season goal is to "Capture the Flagg".
Maybe the most amazing part of the Nets losing by nearly 60 points is that the game was tied after the first quarter.

I remember once years ago a Kings vs. Suns game where the Kings were down by 30-ish at halftime and then made a comeback to win the game.
