Can the Kings survive without him? What would the Kings need to get a first-round series? Who needs to step up?
euroleague mvp… save us…
Deuce, we can absolutely win a play in game! It's one game. Not saying it will happen but anyone can win one game and we still have a lot of talent. PLUS our defense is much better and by now I'm confident it's not a fluke, it's been a full month since their player's only meeting when things improved. I am worried, however, that we tend to get rattled under pressure, on national tv games, playoffs, etc.
It's essential that was get a 7/8 seed because then we only have to win one out of two play in games, plus get home court at least one game. LA is two back of us in the loss column, and we have the tie breaker. My rough projection is they finish 5-3, so we would have to go just 4-5 to keep the 8 seed. If they go 6-2 we must go 5-4. Oh and the Suns have a tough schedule just like us so we could overtake them also. We can do this guys!! Edit: Phoenix has the toughest finish of any team! 7 of their 8 games are against teams in the top 6 in their conference, and the other game is against the Kings. ZERO easy games. So you're saying there's a chance… yes!!
Well everyone did warn you that you wouldn't be so lucky with injuries this season.
That sucks!! I know Luka will feel bad for accidentally injuring him.
This sucks, but what irks me is that some 'fans' blames Luka for that injury. Like he obviously did not meant it for that to happen and obviously felt bad when he saw it. But I mean, he was looking up to see if the ball went it, you just have no way of knowing if there's someone below you. Calling him like "fat boy did that on purpose" like are these people serious? Those kind of comments are disgusting as a whole.
This is why they should’ve beaten those bottom feeder teams. Failure of a season if they don’t make it
This sad news aside. What you guys think luka taunting vlade devak?
Malik’s gunna get a nice standing ovation next time he steps on the floor. Hopefully it’s in a kings uniform
288 quarters played. 40 quarter missed.
Let's get real, Domas and Fox need to stop turning the ball over. Turnovers are really killing the Kings recently.
This is one of the reasons why I wanted the Kings to do something at the trade deadline but naw, Monty & the Kings just had to run it back with a team that loses to the likes of Hornets and Pistons….With that said, my best to Monk & Huerter.
We need davion to score more agressively.
🤔hey D&M, if kings switch Either j.Ford or m.Jones with Skal @Stockton it helps kings@Pf, because Keeg, Kess, HB, aren't @Pf, there @Sf🤔
Noooooooooo we need Malik! This is really going to suck Malik going to miss the 2 man game with him and Sabonis. Hopefully Foxy and Domas steps up we really going to need them 2 to go off big time. Trey lyles and sasha need to come back soon as well. We're going to need hb and keegan to start going off too guys gotta start stepping up
Called it!
Now that it’s hit for a while I am starting to see this as an opportunity for players to step up and show their true potential which is good imo for example this stretch can define Davion’s career and finally see the jump we been waiting for for Keegan. And also can De’aaron turn a page like Brunson and put the team on his back game in and game out. I am eager to see how individuals respond. Fight or flight!
Whether they make the playoffs or not Keegan, Fox needs to go out guns blazing. This will say a lot about the leader Fox is. He needs to put this team on his back. We’ll see
Devastating. Imagine, we limp into the 9 seed and have to play the warriors for one game. I might lose it.
Can the kings bring up anyone from Stockton? They got some solid guys that can score.
He would fit perfect with Kai and luka so many lobs and wins. Can't wait.
Luka flopping caused this
Prayers up for Monk. Thats tough. One of those freak things like what happened to Kyrie earlier in the year when Powell landed on him. Yall just need somebody to step up. Just like Brunson Did for us against Utah when Luka went down on our WCF run. He stepped up and said I got this put us on his back and showed everyone He is a Dawg…
So wait how many more wins do the kings need to clinch the playoffs
That 2024 protected first round pick is looking more and more likely. Another asset to get a replacement for Monk's impending leave out of Sacramento.
This drives my nerves…I know Malik will come back much sooner than later. If not, Light The Beam…#MalikMonk0
Hopefully wit Malik out our depth can be tested and this group can learn how to play without Malik, even tho we don’t want this but can be great for adapting
