Just keep a pile of them next to the couch so you don't have to go pick it up every time lol. That would the healthy balance needed here.

we definitely deserved to win this one. I don’t know what else Monk has to do to be the starting 2 guard on this team.
Some serious damn heart out there tonight. Can't say they didn't try in this one, everyone was battling their heart out. Shout-out Monk/Domas/Murray for really carrying the load in this one.
Also, play Monk 34+ MPG. Enough screwing around with a struggling Huerter or all these fringe NBA types like Duarte.

Keegan dunks and energy early was fun. 18 in the first I think? Quieter scoring half in the 2nd but his attitude early was fun. Had some clutch boards and obviously the huge 3 in double OT. Obviously Monk's night tonight but Keegan's 28&12 shouldn't be overlooked. Winning basketball play tonight
Banchero rolling his ankle and running off felt like it could fall apart for Orlando. Glad he didn't miss much time
Ending regulation with 20+ turnovers and Magic shooting 65%+ are blowout catastrophic loss numbers. Incredible to keep it competitive let alone win
This was obviously Monk's night. The dude was everything and this was his win. I dread what happens if he leaves, he's certainly worth well more than we can pay him. Idk if a city government can give a player an endorsement deal but Sacramento might need an emergency tax to keep him here. Or the airport can move all their marketing budget into a huge deal for Money Malik Monk

Ehh, Not sure they look back at the end of the season and feel that way, if the seedings are tight. Would assume they will be

A career night for the opposing franchise, some really bad ball handling by Monk, a big time blown call (although maybe payback for the Lyles charge) a stinker from Swipa, terrible free throw shooting, heroics from Monk and Keegan and a fan base too mad to be happy with this win haha
Kings follow up their first loss on the first night of a B2B with their first win on the second night.

Squeaked one out. LTB
Holy crap. The Kings made life 1000x harder on themselves. This should’ve been a walk in the park with all their injuries, but we let them take us to double OT on the back of Paolo and a bunch of role players and guys no one here has ever heard of. This goes down as a bad win in my book, but I take a win over a loss any day of the week.
Paolo is legitimate star. He had some low IQ plays, but he can be future face of the NBA in 5 years if he can learn to consistently knock down the 3 like tonight.

I think Brown is saving Monk for the playoffs. The Kings have got to get Heurter back to being Heurter, at the very least because then he's valuable in a trade.

Well that's then. The Kings have been a donut on back to backs this season, you take what you can get. Especially when Fox is starting to get tired.

I'm a Barnes guy because he does everything that comes to him reliably. But he passed up two mid range jumpers in the final minutes of the fourth; one to pass to a well defended Fox, and the other to an open Keegan. Make of that what you will but I think that's a shot that should be taken by Barnes.
It should be relatively obvious that when Duarte takes over the starting role for Huerter and not Monk, it's not because Brown thinks Duarte is better than Monk. It doesn't even mean that Brown thinks Huerter is better than Monk. It means that Brown wants Monk's scoring and playmaking off the bench for the 1stQ/3rdQ rotations. Does Monk not close every contested game? Did Monk not drop 46 minutes tonight?
The ONLY thing Monk can do to move into the starting lineup is get WORSE and get passed on the depth chart by a better scoring guard. I don't understand why people don't see this.
Meh, debbie downer syndrome.
The team was laughable last night. They responded tonight vs a very tough Magic team (even without Franz) and our own star player just being horrible the entire game. Gutty-grit check win without Fox doing anything. How is that anything BUT a great win?
I care we had this sort of response after the worst game of the year last night. That's a sign of a team trying to grow and get better.
