This rebuild has to happen this summer Devin Keon and Keegan are the three core players everybody else can go for the right price Vivek can go too
Did Doug forget to play Keon at the end of the 4th wtf!!!!
i have a theory that's probably wrong but what if they're are losing these games on purpose to get their draft pick because they know no matter what they are at least in the play in
Bulls won the trade they're playing much better by not having lavine and derozan…both guys are still doing the same when they played with the bulls ….dribbling the ball to much not passing the ball taking shots and missing… lavine missed critical points in the last minutes plus the Free throws he missed smh you can't do that he tried to be a hero and missed 2 or three times when he could of passed the ball to somebody
The ball alway in Demarozen hand even missing the shot he still shoot why no brain to play the game.I know Kings going to loose the game 100% in the last minutes the way they played.Kings has to play as a team don’t selfish.
Doug christie if he wants to generate any success in the current season, change the starting lineup to add Keon Ellis in and sit Lavine and then keep fast perimeter defenders in all quarters instead of going for more size if they still have to face strong 3 point threats because they lacked speed defensively in that 4th quarter where they got cooked from 3-point range, they did a great job guarding Giannis in this game tho(as good as you can).
As much as like DeRozan… HERO BALL NEVER WINS!
Bucks shot 42% from 3, there is the reason they lost
you can look at the floor at ANY time on defense and see wide open shooters at the 3 point line. The NBA ia all about 3 point shooting, and until they learn yo defend it, this team will continue to be noi better t han 500
Watching this team is like breathing in sulfur
Not sure what you guys want the Kings to do without their best player and two starters lol Lakers just got smoked by the Bulls having to get adjusted to Lebron being in and out of the lineup as well. NO team out west can survive with injuries like this – look at the warriors without Curry.
Call me crazy but I had a starting lineup it would be Carter, Ellis, JV, until Sabonis got back and then in the front court Murray and Jake LaRavia
Kings need to find a way to offload Zach LaVine in the offseason.
He's been checked out since getting here and isn't doing much except turn the ball over and miss free throws.
They just signed Isaac Jones to a regular contract they need to start playing him he's one of those players that the longer he plays the better he is you can't go in for 2 minutes and expect much
I realize this is the NBA but in real basketball Levine would be benched at this point
One more thing I think the reason Levine's not playing well as he has some personal problems going on and it's affecting his game
You are right. Its hypocritical but i only like it when it works.
Keegan might be a closer and Kings just dont know it. Hes played behind Fox and now Derozan.
I just dont see how NBA players wont grow tired of having to play hard on defense every 4th quarter but watch their teammate go iso every 4th quarter regardlesss of team or matchup.
If it happens organically then thats fine. But when im following these games online and come the 7 minute mark Derozan starts going iso every possession i start getting slightly annoyed.
But it is hypocritical because when hes making the shots i dont mind.
Id rather them not change anything and play the same throughout as opposed to having a baseball style closer every 4th quarter.
How will Keegan grow as a player if hes never taking those shots? And every NBA player has an ego. To not even pass it to him or let him shoot ever in closing time is arrogant behavior by Derozan. Itd start to bother me never even getting an opportunity to win a game.
Thats on Christie A little bit though. Hes got to break that dynamic up
