I was in the house tonight n that was a GREAT!!! Win. Fight Sacramento Fight!! idc just get it done 🫡💯 Light the Beam!!!
Yall weren’t with us down 17 then don’t be with us winning by 10. 🖕
If Mike was coaching, they'd lose. Tough pill to swallow for all of you Mike Brown apologists
“Have fun playing” goal from the new coach did the trick. I think that was what the player missed with Mr Brown recently
I might be totally out of it, but…. Give me RJ BARRETT
The kings are back !!
If i were a kings fan I wouldn’t be happy😅 But Gg’s 🤝
Matt love your take pretty much always but slow down with the trade Fox talk …. yes
Yes it can be salvaged and hopefully it will be…
He is not to be taken for granted we don't want a squad of Bums let's try to keep the Fox era alive.
Losing streaks can be tough to shed. Now the weighted backpack is off, let's see what these Kings can do.
i was abt to give it to you raw if we won against bottom teams. but crippled Mavs I'll take it.
My goodness! Are all Kings fans this delusional. You barely beat a G league team tonight😮😮😮
Yeah, that was my conclusion when I saw that video by Lou. It doesnt make sense why they would let go of the HC to appease Fox when he liked him. And then you take into account how Monte keeps getting guards.
Monte is crumbling the team.
Sounds weird, but this was an embarrassing win (only 10PTS) for fully healthy Kings at home against "Mavs" C lineup without 4 starters (Luka.Kyrie,Klay,Lively) and 2 important bench players (Naji,Exum). This should be 40+PTS blowout for Kings. 2 highest (salary) players for "Mavs" on the court today were Gafford (12M) and PJ (12M). 50M salary all players combined "Mavs" lineup today lol.
Fox is a star not a super star! He was clutch two years ago and let it go to his head. He was clutch because he would drive to the hoop and hip his middie or pass to wide open teammates, and we would win. Since then he shoots way too many threes he is not a good three point shooter. He notoriously on a break with one defending pops for a three at the wrong times. His basketball IQ is lacking and he is terrible situationally. I will say this, I hate mike browns offense and hope we change it up more. We need more movement in our offense and more players breaking to the basket.
Could we possibly get J.Valanciunas for backup center position?
Imagine the irony if the kings trade for Dillion the Villain
Dont trade fox, before you even try to fix team. We have fine core just add those few not even start level rotation pieces.
I dont see what could heat offer. Maybe 4 pics?
Rockets sounds more intetesting, but next to pics we should get at least one of reed, eason, jabari.
Also i would love to see how monk would look as main pg. He is a bit similar by play style to fox. Score first guy. And we have sabonis to operate off. Monk, ellis (or carter), murray, jabari, sabonis with derozan as 6th man + picks might endup quite good. Also we could get adams and whitmore. So it would already give us nice rotation, plus picks.
I think its better to wait till summer and hope hou gonna fail in playoffs.
Also we should trade huerter for backup wing. Monk, ellis, whitmore and carter would be enough to cover 1-2 positions.
In general guys we have options without complete rebuild.
Quite good options to me.
I believe the Kings can turn it around. One game at a time, play together and FIGHT every single second of every game.
The Kings could barely beat the Maverick G-League team. Excited about this?? Defense??
relax, you guys beat the mavs without luka, kyrie, and klay.
yeah nobody cares about ou
Kings trying to push Fox out the door. I expect the team to play better but if I’m Fox I can’t trust management no more. This is the beginning of the end. I see a trade in the near future.
🦊 is a 1B on a contender, Spurs. HB his closest kings tenured reunion. Sabonis fits in GSW. Doug isn't qualified to be HC 🤣
It is win but an ugly win. Doug Christie is worse than Brown. The kings do not play defense at all. The mavericks do not have all their best players and they are short handed. They lost because they got tired. The kings need a good defensive coach.Let us see how Doug will coach the kings against Sixers. The kings have the chance to win against Grizzlies without Morant, and warriors having problems. We will see.
A great win vs the Mavs bench 😅
Christie's taking this team all the way to the Finals! This fantastic superlative victory will be remembered as one of the greatest of all Kings' victories.
Maybe the Kings should pass out Rocket RX to the players before each game. Can't hurt, right?
Trey lyles is more of an offensive threat than keegan man when he has the ball all you can do is close your eyes ….
Demar and keegan and hurter need to be gone im open moving demar to the bench but other than that man he doesn’t fit
We’ve seen enough. This roster is flawed. Big picture. You can’t ride the very mediocre ups and terrible downs of this kings roller coaster of a roster. It’s time to get off the ride. Just waiting for changes. Big trades or tank in my opinion.
DeMar DeRozan on his friendship with Lou Williams 2021: "If basketball stopped today, if Lou needed my last dollar, if he needed a kidney, l'd give it to him … I love him to death, love his kids, love his mom.
What lou willams said holds weight based on this quote demar is lou source
Viviek needs to SELL im sick of his ownership
They really should have demolished this team.. instead of having a come from behind win..
But gohead light that broken beam. Lol
Why do we need to trade Fox at all? Can we not pursue the potential future that he doesn't leave?
Huerter cant be traded this year his contract is horrible…. The heat had the same problem with Duncan Robinson…. Luke kennard who does the same thing if not better as hureter is making 9 mill. Kevin is making 17 mill… Trey lyles is just to productive rn to get anything better right now.
Thats the honest truth…
Thank goodness that the loosing streak is done!!!!! Any win helps even if it was against a short handed team. DeMar still pouts and barely plays on defense he needs to go to the garbage time section of the bench. Still think Monte needs to be held accountable for the roster he put together and it's lack of wings, how can you not talk to your top players when it comes to keeping a coach.
Here's the Q for Monty and Wes. Why didn't they get on the plane with the team to LA to support the players and DC?
I wasn't in the right mood to watch the entire game, so I watched just the highlights. And I did well because for 36 minutes has been the same old same old. Then things changed especially from a defensive point of view and they made the decisive run. Let's hope it's a good New Year's resolution even if we can't evaluate a performance against a decimated Mavs. If they would have not won this one either, would have been better to retire the team from the competition 😂
De'Aaron Fox doesn't give a shit what people think. In his 7 or 8 years he's been in Sacramento he's never been accused or called out for lying to the media.
I would say there is no way to keep this team together except for the fact that DC is now the coach. If anyone has a chance he does because everyone has a familiarity with him and they already respect him. I wouldn’t do anything with Fox until we see how the rest of the season goes and what Fox says at the end of the season.
Monte McNair hasn't addressed the media about the firing because he's standing in front of Vivek's idiotic decision. The whole scenario around Mike Brown's firing stinks of the history of the King's relationship with it's head coaches. Vivek's fingerprints and DNA are all over this situation. Vivek is the KANGZ avatar.
Optimism is always a good thing. However, I wasn't very impressed with the Kings victory over an extremely short-handed Dallas team, which more resembled a D League team than anything else. The Kings looked very much like their usual old dysfunctional, pedestrian, lackluster selves to me. The Kings pretty much struggled throughout the game and would have been defeated last night by any other decent team in the NBA. The problem with the Kings is that they just don't have the talent. So, sorry, they're the same old pathetic Kings!!!
I'm not a Mike Malone fam, but he was right — Kings management leadership have no balls. Hold a press conference on your decision to fire Brown.
If Keegan Murray’s shot wasn’t so broken right now. This team would be a lot better.
Laker nation
You're too caught up with Mike Brown. Phsyco-crazy
16:08: Fox may not have said anything to management, but his agent Rich Paul did.
