I'd be fine cutting out the back-up C slot, giving those minutes to Lyles and start experimenting with T.Davis 8-10 MPG instead. See if that helps give the bench a more consistent scoring punch. Certainly couldn't get much worse defensively.
I've been on this train for a while. Let's stop trying to plug the Domas shaped hole in the offense with Metu or Holmes and just go all in on offense with Lyles as the backup 5.
If you told me in September that we'd be playing over .500 on the road but only slightly better at home while the home game experience was reaching glory years level of volume and enthusiasm I would have laughed so hard at you.
Gang, we're 49 games into the season. And only 12 wins away from guaranteeing ourselves the best record we've had since the 2005-2006 season. This is wild.

If you had told me in September that the Kings would start February as the #3 seed in WC and be first in the Pacific Division, I would have had you committed to a mental hospital.
I think in retrospect the Pistons are regretting giving us Lyles as filler in the Bagley trade. Honestly, who has made more of an impact this season? Answer: Lyles by a mile!

Record wise we're in my realm of the higher end of my projections, and I certainly expected some teams to not be as good as expected, but I really think our overall standing is more a direct result of the latter than the former. I thought the Warriors and Suns would still be ahead of us this year.
