Curry only scored five points after halftime. That should count as two moral victories!
The Kings could hang banners with all the moral victories over the past X amount of years!

TD also was cold most of the night along with Huerter and Murray as well.
Monk being okay from the perimeter almost made up for it but we still needed at least one more shooter to get going and it just didn’t happen.
Also, I want some "I'm sorry for overreacting to 2 games about Monk" from a few of you. Dude has been great tonight.
Schedule makers still hate us.A B2B and then we don’t play till Thursday? Lame.
generally not greatI’m curious what teams records are on the second game of a back to back.
"Great"? Come on man. He showed up
If Monk really wanted to put up a great performance, he should have fouled out in 15 minutes like TD did.16-8-7 and 3 steals in 28 minutes is "showing up?" Give me a damn break and get over your own bias that you've had since we signed him.

I loved seeing Keegan’s defense this game. I think he can for sure play the three after not being so sure in summer league. That is fantastic news for us.
It feels like we haven’t seen the offense run thru Sabonis and the magic that brought just a little last year. He ran the floor some tonight but that’s it.
He got some numbers in a blow out. It wasn't "great" play by any stretch. Have no idea what you're talking about with a "bias". I call it how I see it.
You know, I came away with the exact opposite impression. I thought they were forcing the ball to Sabonis in the high post for long stretches and it mostly wasn't working. Nobody was able to create passing lanes so it was just a lot of horns action to shooters on the wings who couldn't create enough separation to shoot it cleanly because GS is good and sniffed out exactly what we were doing. In the second half we finally started to generate some momentum when we opened the floor up more and let our guards get into the paint.
Keegan is an easy double figures already. He is also pretty solid defensively on wings. Though some of guards put him in the blender. .
The irony of you not understanding your bias in this sentence is pretty great.

They've been squeezing him down into the low post more than Gentry did also. Gentry ran pick and roll a plenty, Brown has been off and on running a lot more dribble hand off and split action, pin downs, etc.
Our rotation has some glaring holes to fill, but we were one unconscious signature Steph Curry hot streak away from making this a game. He went nuclear and it was still sortof a close game which is a testament to something. No more moral victories though, win or it doesn't matter at this point. We had some bad luck with Huerter inexplicably going ice cold too.
Sabonis reaction time just hasn't been great when he gets the ball either. He's dancing a lot with his footwork and by that time the double gets sent the set gets blown up. Not sure why he's been so indecisive so far, but it's not been great for the offense as a whole. It's really hurt him being the engine of the team like he was last year.
I think right now we look like a team with some really good talent that doesn't know how to play with each other yet. We basically just need to stop the bleeding the first 10 games and not totally take ourselves out of the race going through these growing pains. I look at these 3 games and you see a lot of really good potential upside. We really haven't been able to say that about many Kings rosters in the past.
Yeah at what record does Davis chair start warming up? 1-5, 2-7, 5-13..etc?
Davis?
