You proved my point. Fox shooting 17 3s should never happen. He needed to attack attack attack. I don't care how many he made, I care that we are consistent with how we attack.
When Fox makes a 3 the other team says we can live with it. It's not the same feel or momentum as a curry 3. Nobody will ever say foxes biggest strength is him shooting 3s

I don't know what "effort" is supposed to mean in this context. Fox had more rebounds, more assists, more made baskets, and less turnovers than SGA in this game. On the season he's now closed the gap in steals between them to less than 10. The only real effort I see from SGA is putting his head down and running into defenders. Fox has tried that before and he doesn't get the calls.
Complete nonsense. A more apt example would be certain members of this board putting in more effort with their contributions than others. 
SGA is a phenomenal player, but the amount of FTA’s he gets bailed out with in comparison to Fox, who attacks and gets hit/hacked as much as anyone, is beyond ridiculous. Even Steph Curry in his prime never got to the line near as much. And he gets hacked a ton too.

Brown wants spray 3's, he gets spray 3's. I mentioned it in the other game, Domas has a literal layup at times and dished it out. Maybe the Kings didn't get the memo, no more shooters cheatery? Don't tell us the NBA is ditching the soft *** shooter stuff now that there's super teams? Consider me shocked. lol.
Waste of an excellent overall game by Ellis. The Kings did not win and will not win anything of import in the future unless they can somehow someway address the free throw disparity. Fox doesn't get calls on drives. Murray shoots fallaway jumpers in the key rather than go through players to the basket. Barnes just isn't good enough to consistently attack and get fouls. There's no way in hell the Kings can ever win major playoff series unless they address this issue. Otherwise, you can just put, "Three point or Die" on their epitaph.
At least in this game, it's hard to go inside and attack when Sabonis is having an off night. This was a time to draw up plays to get Barnes good looks inside, for example, once the lead got up.
The bigger issue is how not having Sabonis engaged impacted this game missing both Monk and Huerter. The threes have to come from somewhere. 57 is absurd, though. Absolutely absurd.
Moving forward, if this team is to have any chance, players are going to have to step up in a way they may not have been ready for. I've seen Len, Lyles, Mitchell and Ellis have shown it. We really need the Black Falcon to rise in a bad way. Ditto Murray, who has been kinda quiet, and Sabonis is going to have to put up more points as well.
