Is this a MUST-WIN for Kings vs. Pistons?



Is this a MUST-WIN for Kings vs. Pistons?

I know it’s only game 36 of the season I understand that it is January 9th and there’s a lot of season left but I think tonight’s game for the Kings in Detroit might be their most important game of the season I’m ready to see what this team’s about because what we saw the

Other night at home when they lost to the Pelicans by 33 points down by as many as 50 points in the game was really disappointing and so now you’re like how is this team going to respond it’s a five-game road trip that starts tonight

And 15 of their next 19 games are on the road we’re going to learn a lot about this team coming up in this stretch but it starts tonight and honestly the next two games for me are like all right where is this team at mentally we know

The kings are better than the Pistons everybody is the Pistons are 3 and 33 but you approach things the wrong way this is the NBA you could lose tonight this has to be an angry game this has to be a game where you come out from the

Jump and take care of business none of this like hey you know what kind of slow first half and then maybe we run away by 15 in the second no it’s not even about you playing the Pistons about how you played the game before you’re playing a

3 and 33 Pistons team they haven’t beaten a team above 500 this year Kade Cunningham their best player is out Isaiah Stewart is out you take care of business even if those guys were playing and I I think Sacramento right now is in this weird spot where when they lose it’s bad

They’re losing by an average of 16 1 12 points per game this year that’s not what good teams do so the kings are they have an identity crisis right now when it’s good it looks good they’re 21 and 14 better than they were at this point last year but when they’re missing shots

They look out of whack the offense isn’t flowing the pace isn’t being pushed then defensively they are breakdowns Galore this stretch of basketball starting tonight in Detroit has to be the point where they get it together because if they don’t we’re going to have some serious questions about this team and

Are they a playoff team right so it’s about winning tonight and then it’s a back toback tomorrow against Charlotte a Charlotte team that beat you at home last week and you played really bad basketball these two games if you’re a good team if you’re legit if you’re the

Team that I think we think they can be you you take care of business tonight if not there’s going to be some really tough conversations I expect the Kings to respond I expect some anger I expect some fight let’s see how they take care of business tonight we will be live with

Morgan after the game make sure you’re there and what do you think about tonight’s game what do you think about this five game Road Trip what are your expectations drop us a comment below and let us know de they tell you what they know deu and mo de and the Pod that you

  1. Bagley revenge game from the bench. This loss has been on the schedule. There will be tears. Pistons 133-118

  2. It's a can't lose game. If regular rotation players won't show up give guys like Kessler or the rookies playing time. You never know they might be the missing piece the team needs

  3. I'm not concerned if the Kings lose this game. Monte knows this team is cooked as currently constructed, let alone the implication of not being able to resign Malik in the offseason. Can't speak for everyone here Deuce & Mo, but I've mentally checked out until I see some moves. Even if it is offloading Huerter and Barnes to resign Malik I'm all for it. The current roster construction ain't it unless Keegan turns into a superstar.

  4. Holding on to Barnes and Huerter while letting Malik walk in free agency is nothing short of criminal behavior.

  5. Literally terrified. To be playing a team with 3 wins and to actually be worried what is gonna happen. 🫣

  6. If Kings lose to the Pistons, then they're a hollow teeam like the wolves but worse. And if they dont get it together after the All-Star break, I'll be looking forward to next season cuz they aint got it this year.

  7. It's not, but it is! You really can't lose to these guys with everything that's going on right now.

  8. This is a must not lose game. We don't need this win. We are playoff bound without this win. Detroit is historically bad. We must not lose to a historically bad team. If we do, we really need to look at who we are as a team. LIGHT THIS BEAM!

  9. Just the fact Cade is out makes me feel like Kings are definitely losing. Has been their M.O. this season to lose with the best player out.

  10. It is a must win game indeed. The Pistons without Cade Cunningham? It's a gimme win practically.

  11. I mean what in the hell is this. They need sole searching because right now they’re doing everything you said they can’t. Fucking brutal to watch

  12. Put in Lyles for Barnes and dam put Sasha in. Makes no sense go through all trouble to get him. NOW PLAY HIS. ASS OFF. Come on gutless KAANGS.

  13. Watching game still no Sasha . Sorry do not understand why. Kevin doing good things,still can't get shot to drop. Energy, pace,hustle intensity not there only in brief moments.
