The chorus of boos on the Mike Brown firing is starting to quiet down already.
While this roster is still flawed, I'm glad to see a hint of the Kings OG identity. Played with pace, movement, shared the ball, not-so-good defense but GREAT 4th quarter D. As far as im concerned, I dont trust Monte. He hasnt fixed those defensive holes so i doubt he's going to fix them before the trade deadline. If he does great but I'm not holding my breath. I'm all in on Doug! 😈🫡
I liked Mike Brown but don’t glaze over the fact that he was part of the problem. His bad rotations, inability to make timely adjustments, call timely timeouts, not playing with pace, and so on. It’s been happening since last year and it’s continued to spiral down. At least with Doug he is using this teams strength, not veering them off from it compounding the weaknesses they have.
Demar should be playing 20-25 minutes a game
Still waiting on a move to be made
Hopefully the kings can get inspired to play together. When foxy sees his teammates he gets flowing, cooking, and it's contagious to see munk drive and dish, sabonas swish, Ellis swish, and Derozan doing ice man iso.
Keon's defense is crazy off the charts. Much needed in crunch time!👍🏾
Honestly shoutout deebo for that steal tho lol
Get real Matt. Every game played today the home team won on NY day 😂 it’s all scripted. Let’s see Kings can beat Grizzlies.
It’s all Fugazzi win.
Philly fans are upset. The Kings were supposed to be crummy. The Sixers had this chalked up as an easy victory.
Now that Mr Brown is gone, the guys got switched on 😂
We are starting to witness that this coach change was much needed. The guys often played half-dead after Brown’s nagging and exhausting complex micro-managing instructions.
You were about to cry when Mike got fired. Now you're optimistic
Definitely Doug Christie as a player is an all time 2.0 steals per game in his 15 years as a pro and somehow it translated to his coaching style and rubs to his players on a positive note.
Kings free again
Kings just need a forward who can score consistently Who name isn't Murray or Kevin
don’t care about this win, they still need to blow it up, this squad beating an embiid-less sixers and g-league mavs team led by washed PG is not impressive at all
Now go get a big solid 5.
The delusional fans celebrating beating teams without full strength. Kings have the 4th toughest games left of the season. We'll see at the AS break but for right now the team still lacks a backup big for Sabonis or another wing. Like Dorian Finney Smith would have been a nice addition especially when Murray is out or Cam Johnson. And the big question still looms, either you trade Fox sooner rather than later or Vivek keeps getting punk by one single player.
Keon should start or atleast receive starters minutes he's the only elite defender in this team
If, less than a week after Mike Brown, the team is playing defense; especially late in the game defense, without any personnel changes or defensive scheme changes, am I irrational to think that they were capable of this all along so it wasn't Mike Brown? Defense was an issue for a long time… long before Mike complained in public, Surely he implored them to do better in private for a long time before he resorted to public criticism… sigh.
Keon Ellis finally plays big minutes. Give Devin Carter minutes & watch them turn it around.
Doug Christie is going to end up being a good descion mark my words. The players love him and play hard for him. He loves the city of Sac and The Kings. Hes gonna take this job seriously. Then the speech on rhe roof by the beam was just 🔥
1 win and you guys are hype LMAO
The team has to look at themselves after brown got fired.
If not THEY ARE PUBLICLY THE MAJOR PROBLEM ASS EVERYONE WAS SAYING
So they have a lot to prove
(Plus the GM /owners was sitting on the sidelines watching)
Gotta give Doug credit for being involved all game . I noticed even his first game they lost but you could hear him yelling out instructions all game long
We won but demar is still a pace killer to the kings. He does not fit in the way the kings operate best and that’s why the kings comebacks have been without demar in the game.
It's a bitter pill to swallow for some people, but this team is better without Mike Brown.
Huerter gotta go
Fox is a bad apple .two face, back stabber. Why do u think kings won, it's because fox cried to the front office, fox is trouble it's the players who wins and fox is doing these loses cause he is a 😂
Need consistency still.
Defense has always been the issue with the Kings.
Loving the change in defensive scheme from DC. I don't think i saw one high trap all season before this game. Those 4Q traps were making the Philly ball handlers look like children. Also, no more bs fighting over screens leaving the defense out of position and leading to a stupid close out on a wide open 3.
Looks like they like playing for Doug a lot more than Mike. I hope they can vein some games and get back into it
Losing Fox would be quite difficult to over come
Clamps!
So now we know that the Beam is energized by DC power.
The kings are back !!
Mike brown wasn’t playing Keon sometimes he would get dnp’s and Doug McDermott and washed Jae crowder was playing more minutes than him but Doug is actually playing Keon
Matt what are the odds we finish 7th
Oh look the guy they were trying to get fired by not putting in effort got fired and now they put in effort. Weird how that works.
lets see what we do against these tough grizzlies friday night
The best strategy against the Kings this year is to crowd the paint to prevent the Fox drive, force a paint-touch 3, and make the Kings hit 3’s. Underrated play in the game was Keon Ellis hitting a kick out 3. That forced the defense to play honest a little more
FOX is such a lier, after that little meeting he went and had a big meeting in the front office like a little baby that he is. Let him set out a full game and see what the cry baby does, I can tell u there would be another coach he will run to the front office again.😂😂😂😂😂😂
For guarding the wings and bigger forwards, why are we not using Jae Crowder? Huerter is not clamping up and the jump shot isn’t helping either
