refs didn't call it even but it didn't matter when you're up double digits and blow it on your own.

Fox had a very unselfish finish. There is not a single true superstar next to you Fox. Sorry, you have to be selfish and mean.

 

[gunks]

Taking a break from this whack team for a week or so. I'll just watch Wemby or something.

Anyways, see y'all next game.

Played not to lose and got the L.

 

[Tizzy Flip]

Even the Suns broadcasters said it was a dagger after Fox hit that 3 to get up 18 with 6 mins to go. The biggest problem is we believed it too and played lackadaisical, made a bunch of awful lazy passes, and continue to shoot dumb 3s

 

[Rob-The-Great]

I'm lost for words

 

[ick300]

Damn , from a look for the best game for the season to the worst lose for the season ...
That is going to be crapy day

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Brown made so many wrong decisions in the fourth that I don’t even know where to begin!!

straight up player loss though.

 

[206Fan]

what a ****ing collapse. Need to trade the players now.

Monk is not part of this core. Absolutely kidding yourself

 

[Bfreeman]

Well learning year, I hope we don’t do a panic trade. Develop some of the pieces we have and hopefully contend next year.

 

[Elektrik]

Disgusting. Mentally weak team. Gave it away

 

[HndsmCelt]

I just can't right now. 32-8 finish? what a goddamn joke.

Also FU EJ.

Except no one's laughing

 

[reptilexcq2]

This team always manage to break your heart every time you thought they got something going...wtf. Sabonis should be dominating with KD guarding him when Phoenix go small....instead they fumble and playing out of character...it's so pathetic. Fox should take matter into his own hand when shot ain't falling....use your speed and attack and draw foul or do SOMETHING....geez. Why do you settle for shots knowing your team is losing momentum? Murray should be taking a lot more shots every game. I hate the fact that he keep running away from the ball instead of doing the pick n roll like Huerter did with Sabonis. Why is Keegan always running away from the ball? He's such a good shooter and not utilize him more on the court is stupid. He's probably the best shooter on the floor beside Monk.

Fox needs a 2nd alpha, Monte sees it.

 

[Tizzy Flip]

Don’t look now. We’re now 7th in the standings, with a crazy road schedule coming up, and with a surging Suns and Jazz right on our heels.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

It's hard for me to relate to the collapses this team repeatedly exhibits. At what point during the massive collapse do you just say to yourself "no, we're not letting this happen".

They just completely stopped playing the type of basketball that got them the lead. I know that sounds overly simplistic, but that's all that it is. There are serious mental shortcomings with this team, serious mental growth needs to happen.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Monk should have been on bench on this one, huerer had a better game. Monk was out of control all day game

 

[King-Da-Yah]

This team always manage to break your heart every time you thought they got something going...wtf.

they didnt last year, this feels like 2 steps back….frustrating.

i still believe in them, just confidence is shaken to the core now.

 

[KF8]

imagine dominating for 43 mins only to give it away in the last 5 minutes lol

 

[Mad D]

No lead is safe from this team, the opponents or theirs.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

You mean to tell me sabonis can't body Durant!!! Come on man

 

[pdxKingsFan]

would be nice if something cool happens to a team I root for this week.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Brown made so many wrong decisions in the fourth that I don’t even know where to begin!!

Jordy is a better in game coach. I learned that two nights ago. (Coach can't make free throws).

It's too bad Coach trading isn't more of a thing.

 

[White_Chocolate]

Two of the more baffling losses in recent history back to back. Christ. I am all for a panic trade. This team needs a guy who can get a bucket in the 4th outside of Fox.

 

[KF8]

not even moral victories for this blunder

 

[forza kings]

I think everybody but Domas and Keegan is tradeable for the right offer.

 

[hrdboild]

Doesn't it seem like we play exactly the same way whether we're down by 20 with 2 quarters left or up by 18 with 6 minutes left? Slowing it down, eating up clock, and going for the easy 2 instead of a dagger 3 on each possession should have been enough to close this one out.

[Rob-The-Great]

From best game to worst game in 5 min

 

[Turgenev]

I think this is the first time we have lost 3 in a row since early last season? I think that speaks to the team being a well coached team.

Kings are having a good season overall but adversity not the worst thing to go through at this stage.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

I don’t get why Fox doesn’t attack the midrange and paint anymore in the clutch. Just jacked up lazy three point attempts. Monk with horrible turnovers. Defense was nonexistent. Just an awful historic collapse. I’m legitimately not sure we’re making the Playoffs this year.
