Bad loss. 3-7 Pacers without Brogdon at home.

If the Kings keep getting the shots they got in this game, it will be a winning season. They couldn't hit anything from 3. This team needs an upgrade at SF though, that will continue to hinder them in the long run. Harkless can come up big and plays solid but the Pacers called the Kings bluff early on by hiding Sabonis on him. The Pacers weakness is defending pick and roll with Sabonis. Other teams are putting PG's on Harkless or their weakest defenders full stop now.
 
Well at least we had MOs scrappy defense to keep it close. Don't let nobody make suggestions about replacing Mo the great.

Bad loss tonight, team needs a identify. Good talent but even the coach doesn't know who he wants to put in at end of games.

These are games we have to win to get us over the hump. With the best Kings team in 15 years, it should be a breeze

Good teams dictate what personal goes into the game, not the other way around. Do we play fast, slow, big, small? It can't change every game. If you have multiple identies then you have no identity and we will continue to lose to the games we should win. We are 500 so on to the next game
 
Embarrassing, and this is on the players. Sleepy sleepy sleepy, wake up end of game. I am not putting this on Luke. There is nobody on this squad who can take over a game when everyone sucks.
 
What a horrible game....just completely not entertaining, but made me waste 2.5 hours because I kept thinking we might pull it off.
yeah my other sports team that played opposite this won going away and yet ... *sigh* but Kings will always be my #1 so wasted afternoon it is.
 
We don't deserve to win the game when you get out rebounded by 54 to 33.

Two legit 7 footers against Holmes and Len. The rebound numbers are schizo this year. Kings getting killed when Holmes plays against big centers. Kings thriving on the boards when it’s Holmes against undersized bigs.

true we did miss a ton of wide open shots
 
Fox shouldn't be the one shooting the crucial shots when he's struggling. It's just dumb coaching. I like the sub of Hield for offense and Mitchell for defense though. But Fox should not be shooting the ball, period when he's not been making them. This loss is on Fox imo.

Who should have shot that instead then?
 
Also, this game was totally winnable. A few shots go in, totally different outcome. I think the turning point in the game was when Sabonis grabbed the rebound over Len. The Kings had all the momentum up to that point.
 
Honestly I think this was a good game for the Kangz. It was a tough game, a defensive game. I think they will grow from this game. Pacers were just a little better

I don't think the Pacers are better, though they're certainly better than their record. Kings picked up the D over the last few quarters. Richaun had a mediocre game. Fox was straight bad on both ends. (7/19 with more TO's than assists just not a good look for yer start point guard.) HB missed some open looks from 3. Team got crushed on the boards.

And STILL they scrapped and scrapped and had a wide-open midrange jumper to tie the game, then the Tyrese long ball.

Real gut check coming tomorrow against Phoenix.
