Its just getting worst much better to trade everyone including Fox, replace Mike Brown leave Monk and Sabonis for they have a good connection Build around them. If Jeff Van Gundy will be available next year take him in exchange for Brown. Monte and kings management where very wrong with Keegan they were hoping this kid will become an allstar. They should have traded him.
Should have taken the Lauri for keeg trade . Smh
SABONIS deserves a lot of criticism. He is turning the ball over like crazy! Also, when opposing guards see Domas in drop coverage, their eyes light up cause they know he doesn’t provide any resistance! It’s layups galore!
I'm actually done blaming the players going forward. It's the coaching staff. Either Monte needs to blow it all up and build a team around Mike's vision/style or the Kings need a HC that matches them. Yes, Brown got us to the playoffs but ever since he started preaching physicality and defense to this team, it's all gone downhill.
He has no clue how to coach players or raise their basketball talent. If you're not meeting his expectations, you get discarded for someone else. He doesn't coach. How do you take a team with three all-stars, a rookie with a high ceiling, and past players with a 40%+ 3 point shot and turn them into this!?
On a side not, Mike Brown is setting up Kevin Huerter to be his fall guy. I swear… he benches Kevin for a couple poor performances. Yeah, Kevin has flaws, but apparently this entire team has the exact same issues just Kevin magnifies it the most. Brown needs to go.
bring back boogie
They couldnt breath if they had an oxygen mask. they couldnt see if had 20/20 vision. they couldnt win a game if they were leading by 100 at the half. they wouldnt land on earth if they sky dived in space.
lul Keegan isn't even a starter or have a seat at the bench.
It’s going to take a lot of balls but I think we hit our ceiling with Sabonis. If we can get Bam I’d go for it
Kings are a bottom feeder. disconnected to the core
Most of the time Monk is playing the offense is better. I can't understand why he is not a starter and not playing more minutes. He is a good shooter. energetic, creative. For me: Fox, Monk, Keegan, Crawder and Sabonis should start…
think it's time for the fans to stop start showing up less and give a message to management. not making playoffs would be a disaster
Only one man can save us.
Boogie.
Sabonis playing for triple doubles was the beginning of the end. Look at his thirsty play last season
SIGN KEEGAN FCKN MURRAY TO A MAX CONTRACT NOW, THAT'S AN ORDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Murray and Huerter need to either start making shots or they need to sit/get traded. I don't think they are able to be helped otherwise. They both play scared. Sabonis does not fit as the big man, either. He needs to be a 4, or he needs to gain weight and stop crying about getting beat up in the paint and start beating up people himself
I don’t know who to blame and what to do next. But 20 games in, and season is probably over.
Keegan has not evolved. He reached his ceiling. His ceiling is psychological. He has no right mentality.
Also we don't have consistent 3pt shooters. If there were at least 2 guys who WANT to shoot the ball from three, who are just predators who are always ready to shoot the three, then it would be different.
3 years ago the simple hand offs at the 3 point line converted to threes made. And now it doesn't work. It's even not happening. No hand-offs, everyone is scared to shoot.
No fire, no desire, no bloodthirsty predators.
Keegan's 3pt percentage year by year:
2022-2023 – 41%
2023-2024 – 35%
2024-2025 – 27%
The Roy Al curse, shipping him out did this
Matt I watch every video u post but bro.. as a die hard kings fan to another do not fall into this blame game like these causal fans that sound like they started watching this team the first beam team year. Act like you’ve been here before, dont say injuries doesnt matter when this team already didn’t have great depth to start with! The shooters that has proven to be great shooters this is not who they are. If they had some depth and better defenders to make their lives easier on the other end then that would help the shooting. They have to work harder than any other team when ur a small non athletic team like this
rollercoaster with minimum height restriction, that's what it is.
So satisfying to read comments nowadays because now there is much more people who realize that the coaching staff is to blame. I knew it all along and expressed this idea long time ago.
yeah… the kings freakin suck. its actually weird seeing professionals not know how to play defense. tank for cooper flagg.
I respect Matt's outrage. Takes a genuine fan to call 💩 when it's 💩
I've stopped caring a little bit. Too many decades same nonsense.
The Sacramento Kings look like they’re going to win 41 games they sacrificed Tyrese Halliburton and Davion Mitchell just to keep Fox I knew that was a bad idea I knew Keon Ellis was a bad idea
Keegan Murray is too soft he don’t even challenge Fox for who’s the best player on the team Keegan Murray is the fourth overall pick
They don't care about these tournament games…
If the blame is not on Fox it’s either Mike Brown or Keegan Murray or both The Sacramento Kings have never been known for being a great defensive basketball team even when they were winning even during the Rick Edelman days they were never a great defensive team during the Gary Saint Jean days that was the best time of their defense
It’s Mike Brown’s fault he don’t want a bench Monte McNair gave him a bench and he played Keon Ellis instead of Davion Mitchell
TRADE FOX
TRADE FOX TRADE FOX
Keep fighting the fight Matt, it's time the fans send the message of change to the owners. Without passion like yours, the franchise will never change. Kings fandom unit behind Matt and make Sacramento great again!
an elite reporter like Matt deserves a better team than the Kings
The Sacramento Kings can’t look any worse if they trade Fox I don’t know why Matt George literally thought the Sacramento Kings was going to be good
