Metu, still bad on D. wow.

 

[Kingz19]

I figured easy baskets at the hoop had to be in the mail as soon as they stopped making all their threes.

Nothing travels better than terrible defense

 

[iowamcnabb]

Looks like being blacked out of this one is a good thing haha

I’ve been a fan since J Will’s rookie season and I’m born and raised in LA. I’ve stuck by this team through a lot of garbage. I’m just tired of seeing them s*** the bed repeatedly against average and below average teams.

You realize we are 27-20 and playing the best basketball we have played since 2004 right? We aren't going to turn into title contenders in a singular season.

 

[TaxMan]

I guess it’s time to sit fox again for a couple games. He’s now back to hurting us. I hope he can battle through this but maybe he’s the type of player that needs some regular rest management.

 

[Kingz19]

Kings getting walloped on the glass. They had actually had the slight edge near the end of the first half. Now -9

Domas only has 2 rebounds since the first quarter

And just like that team that started it all, this is probably one that will have to be tweaked a bit if they want to become a true contender.

It sucks cause you know how these types of games tend to turn out. The kings just can’t get over the hump tonight. Soon as the kings get close the wolves put together a string of buckets to pull away again. Very disappointing because the kings are way better than the wolves.

 

[Sluggah]

Two stinkers in a row.

 

[forza kings]

This defense is embarrassing

Are we really way better than the Wolves.

 

[fansinceday1]

Are we really way better than the Wolves.

A very definitive YES

 

[SacTownKid]

Brown got his lunch ate there. Brown kept the two PF's and Finch says, here's two C's. smh. No protection at the rim at all. This is one of those games where it's like no Holmes? Really?

 

[Kingz19]

Stop trotting out the “ team is tired”excuse Kayte

 

[Sluggah]

Didn’t have ‘Naz Reid goes off’ on my bingo card.

 

[SacTownKid]

About time they remembered Gobert can't guard pick and roll. This team is getting a little too system heavy. That next step comes when they realize that they can choose which rabbit they want to pull out of their hat offensively.

 

[SacTownKid]

Dude is underrated like a son of a gun. I think teams are going to want him this summer for sure. I wouldn't mind seeing him near the top of Monte's list either.

 

[Kingz19]

I did. He’s gone off on the Kings in the past and the law says anybody capable of scoring in the paint will score in the paint against the Kings

 

[kingdivac]

Still a chance; Fox heating up......if they can get it even at the 4 min mark, they might be able to salvage....but the way Wolves guards have been shooting, a tall order.

And on cue he gets some quick buckets to pull us into it…

Don’t disagree he’s been playing poorly but he always saves his best for the 4th so too early to write the obit on this one

Well obviously. We are missing some depth at wing and big but Monte has shown to be quite competent in drafting and trades so I remain moderately confidant he can push the right buttons. Less large scale change is better with culture building though. Let coach cook

 

[Kingz19]

Fox warming up but the defense sucks so this 7 point lead seems quite large

 

[9x1x6]

Fox is on Fire!

 

[captain bill]

What a find…. What a fumble

 

[kingdivac]

Game

 

[9x1x6]

Put Monk back in, he was the only one hitting haha

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Stop trotting out the “ team is tired”excuse Kayte

Did it stop being true?

 

[forza kings]

I am tired of Fox playing mediocre at best for three quarters and turn it on in fourth at most games.

I still think this team likely needs another legit and consistent 20 ppg scoring option. You see how dependent this team is on Fox. Domas and Harrison are awesome at what they do, but Harrison refuses to feast every night even if he can. It was mostly his play being the cherry on top that separated the team during that streak.

I'm sure they just have those lying around.
