Tyrese really didn’t need to say anything but instead chose this.
I think KZ should be a staple since this team needs him on the wing. The backup C should be based on that game. If Metu is going and the opposing team is like the Pacers and/or the offense is flowing, great. If the other team is crushing the Kings inside because they have an Ayton, or strong pick and roll guard, then size time. Also, Len is better at being a backup Sabonis than Metu. Metu in that dribble hand off set is awful. Metu in pick and roll? Totally different player. Metu when used right is a plus but that's very much dependent on the opponent and what plays the Kings are running offensively. The Pacers are a team that has a C and a bunch of players similar to Metu backing him up.
Still curious about Fox not looking for his offense early and getting sat quickly into the first and third quarters. There must be a story….though he had a strong efficient game tonight.

He's been doing that all year. Browns sub patterns have been pretty consistant.
trying to imagine 50 Cent and Keegan having a conversation and drawing a complete blank lol
He played great in the first 3 quarters, but was pretty awful in garbage time. I didn’t mind him forcing stuff at the end, I was hoping it could get him out of his slump. Im starting to think that his 3pt shot wasnt the 39% he advertised in his last year or college, but hopefully his shots start going in. We really need that 3pt consistency around Fox and Bonis.Keegan didn't shoot well, but I thought this was easily his best game in a long time. Even still, 14 points on 12 shots isn't horrible. Finally showed how he could make an impact while not scoring. Was excellent on defense, made several hustle plays, was much better on the boards. You really do see the signs he CAN be an excellent defensive wing.
Need to continue to see more, but I think a good first step to breaking his slump.
Apropos of nothing, what is that AM/PM mascot supposed to be? Ol' bootleg HR Puffinstuff looking ass.
I think the back injury screwed with his shot mechanics more than everyone probably thought it would. He’s got a weird hitch in his shot now that he didn’t have in summer league and preseason. It’ll probably fix itself as he gets back into a rhythm but until then I’m fine with games like tonight.He played great in the first 3 quarters, but was pretty awful in garbage time.

Also, games like this really make it difficult to want to trade Davion. Was an absolute warrior vs Hali, who nobody in the league has had much success at slowing down this year. He's just an absolute game-changer on defense. In a league with so few game-changing guard defenders, it's such an unreal weapon to have to put on all these top scorers.
He's almost like a guy who comes in off the bench and only makes threes -- but instead he brings that level of instant energy with his iso defense. He has game breaking potential locking up crafty ballhandlers who've been giving us problems. It would be great if he showed a little more pop on offense but I also think it's a plus that he knows who he is and recognizes that the guys around him are all really good shot makers so there's no real need for him to come into the game looking for buckets.
He was held out of practice or only did light workouts today. It's not on injury reports but as close to confirmed as it gets.I do think Fox is battling a groin injury. It's not been confirmed so I'm just going off personal speculation. He pulled up a bit lame against Atl and hasn't been right since then
Been saying this, but been accused of babying him. You'll probably luck out since we crushed our opponent tonight.I think the back injury screwed with his shot mechanics more than everyone probably thought it would.

You could almost say that he had an OFFNIGHT™.
If this is what it takes for us to blow people out, I'm personally sending 50 the rest of the season tickets.Was it just me or did Country Night with 50 Cent ringing the bell a bizarre mix?
It kind of set the tone for how the game started
Pacers couldn't keep up with the pace? Maybe it's time for a name change.
Carlisle out here giving Luke Walton style "Whoops" interviews lol

I thought it was interesting. For better or worse people will keep asking him about the trade because they know it’ll get a good quote from him which will then prolong the cycle because he’ll get asked about the new quote and so on and so forth.Do you think this was good or bad?
