Imagine saying you rather have Marvin Bagley over Luka😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Start shameless tanking now!trade fox you can get lots for him.murray is a bust.for a 4 pick trade him to sabonis derozen everybody
Nobody can shoot 3’ and defend 3’.Let get rid of bench player.Fox not good player no more can’t shot 3’
Until the coach and the front office both want to go in the same direction, offensive vs defensive oriented, they will always be a luke warm team.
Fox is very inconsistent & no leadership either! trading for Derisan can't help the team either!
Fox and Kev shot us out the game that’s it
Even home team still lose how can they win on the road.Team has to shop shooting guard
many reasons for the loss tonight but the coaching was terrible again. the rotation to end the first killed our momentum from that quarter and was horrendous to watch. playing kevin huerter 25 minutes and keon 2 is basketball terrorism, especially when keon has historically played desmond bane very well, is our best 3 point shooter right now, and we lost by 5 points. if keon is in for 20 minutes instead of huerter and hits 2 threes then we could’ve won this game
Is it bad luck? Lack of urgency? Or bad coaching?
Only Monk can shoot 3’.I don’t think Demarozon and Fox can pair together.
We have an identity Matt…..we're as soft as baby poop
Fire brown and bring in the guy I wanted all along…..mark jackson
I can explain it in two words … BAD COACHING!
Murray looking lost on offense.
Huerter not hitting shots.
Bad defense in crunch time.
Only 15 bench points.
Looked like a playground shot from Monk for the last play rather than a well oiled offense.
Memphis gift wrapped this game and the kings returned it.
Hard to have confidence in this team right now.

The Kings chose DeMar as their sword to die on. They HAVE to make trades that make sense. Cam Johnson, DFS, or even Kuzma. When others call the Kings a poverty franchise, I can’t even say anything.
Kings are a joke pathetic
Cut and paste: "Consistently Inconsistent" is Sacramento's identity.
First, I am NOT saying to fire Mike Brown, I am saying coaches need to sit down with Mike and discuss what many of us fans see, and that is it is Mike Brown's fault when he dnp's Keon and next game gives him 2 minutes. It is Mike Brown's fault when he does not play a player that is one of his best defenders on a regular basis, It is Mike Brown's fault when he waits way too long to make jn game adjustments and It is Mike Brown's fault when he completely clueless about challenges. He challenges when the play will have limited impact or when it is a very risky call that often results in a failed challenge. His lack of understanding that challenges should be saved for bonehead ref calls often made at the end of games! Where was his challenge at the end of tonight's game? i'll tell you, it was used before crunch time! Not smart. He has contributed to some of these losses! In the western conference, there is little room for coaching errors that cost games! Sure, the shooting is really bad, maybe he should not play his starters close to 40 minutes a night! Is that sustainable? NO! Doesn't any of the staff see this?
It’s not that the players are bad but they don’t fit together. Demar can’t shoot 3s Murray can’t shoot 3s Sabonis rarely takes 3s. It doesn’t matter how talented the guys are in today’s NBA U NEED FLOOR SPACING!!!!!! Kings are easy to defend cuz all you need to do is pack the paint to beat them. Trade Keegan Murray or Demar for a 3 pt specialist and this team will be much better
Question for you, Matt: What would you offer Keegan as a rookie extension? Prior to the season, I think it was clear that he would be offered a max extension. However, since he is somewhat regressing offensively (while improving defensively) and not developing in the way we all hoped and expected, the situation is different now.
I don’t think he will stay at such a low offensive level, but I also don’t believe he will improve this season to the point where he becomes the player we wished for. Since next offseason is very important for the future salary situation of the Kings, I would love it if you could discuss this in one of your podcasts this season.
I do agree with you Matt, the Monte Mcnair has not sufficiently addressed the weaknesses of this roster!
They are in development and how did Keegan and huerter do? Passing? Assists?
How many times to I have to say DeMar is a bad fit for the team? I know a lot of delusional fanboys are in denial, including Matt George and Deuce & Mo.
When I heard the Grizzlies announcers were wanting their team to push the pace because it would benefit them, that's when I knew the Kings uptempo identity they once had is gone. What I took from that is they're not seen as a fast pace team anymore, just like they're not seen as a 3pt shooting team. I'm expecting more losses than win this season at this point. It's a transition season. If they win more games, I'l celebrate but with how the West is, they not only have to win big but key teams also have to lose.
If the Kings don't sweep the Lakers in these upcoming matches, there definitely is a regression. Lakers ran it back while the Kings made moves to get better. And what happens when you run it back? The team has the same weakness and flaws. So I expect them to sweep the Circus Show Lakers, no excuses.
Keegan is as good of a player as they thought he was. They just decided to ask him to be somebody who he’s not. Mike B was coach of the year because of his playstyle. If he completely changes his playstyle, he’s no longer worth defending as coach of the year.
I don’t know what kings should do. Maybe they should tank this season. Because I believe they lost too many games already. I still like Mike Brown, keep Fox, Sabonis, Monk and maybe Murray. Trade everybody else and regroup next season with new high pick rookie.
Kings have to get Frank Vogel after this season. To me this loss is mostly on Mike, the rotation to end the first quarter was awful idk why he at least couldn't keep the same rotations from the rockets game. Keon Ellis needs to play, if Mike brown thinks he shouldn't then he shouldn't be the head coach of this team. Huerter needs to be traded by next week. Missed 3's same old story.
Coach Brown needs to let Keegan attack the basket more!!! Keegan was rightfully a No. 4 pick because of his 3-level scoring, especially IN THE PAINT! We can and should shoot more 3s, but man, we need a good inside game to increase our spacing and make our scoring more efficient. And that starts with Keegan being allowed to be a masher like he always was!
No 3pt shooters, no 3pt defense, clash of pacing, can close out quarters, inconsistent, turnovers, no basketball IQ which leads to bad decision making (this game is chucking up 3s), soft, bad coaching in making adjustments and timely timeouts. recipe for a bottom feeder.
İf u feast on a win with refs ,u will face many defeats like this…Teams like Houston and Sacramento shouldnt let refs decide the games score,they will be cooked by refs all season if they feast for an unfair game,both teams should have reacted these kinds of games to end
while its upsetting.. i am happy that their defense is looking solid. id rather see a bad shooting night any day over a bad defensive night
Win or lose im a kings fan. I was listening to the games on the radio the first year they came and i have listened to hundreds of games and followed them when chris webber signed. I like derozan allot. He is a great player. Im hoping issac gets going as well as huerter. Keegan is improving. Fox is awesome and so there are a lot of good players that need to find a way. As a group they win.
Geez, Matt, take a chill pill. You’re the only Locked On host that gets way too high and way too low Re: wins and losses. Act more of a moderator and less of a childish fan. Too much of a roller coaster with you. I’m done with LOK.
spurs boutta fry yall for the third time this season today
Mike brown philosophy or shooting tons of threes is wrong
At this point, I'm no longer obsessed with long-term team goals because it's a recipe for disappointment. I've found that it's healthier to live day by day: celebrate when the team wins, and suck it up when it loses.
I’m starting to think a sabonis trade to the heat would be nice for bam and get the Kentucky kings going. I think sabonis is more valuable then bam due to his all nba selections so maybe a jovic too preferably juaqez
Love Fox, but the truth is that he is not Kobe/MJ, and Mike Brown hasn't figured out how press the buttons on him in the style of Phil Jackson/Greg Popovich. Fox and Monk are A Song of Ice and Fire.
