Damn you really went there!
Hey Matt,
I feel you man on yesterday’s ugly loss. Kinda of reminded me of the 2002 game 6 of the western conference finals against the lakers. Heart breaking
What up Matt! 👊🏾 🟣
De’Aaron and Mike Brown are now on teams capable of winning it all, so getting traded and fired from the Kings has really worked out well for both of them and the Spurs and Knicks,…..The Kings??……..not so much.🤔
Shit Dennis to
Occam’s Razor: Domas and Fox are both left handed. Not good for the pick and roll.
With all these professional physical coaches, why are there so many hamstring issues this season? It seems like an over abundance of them league wise.
I think Scott Pollard, Bobby Jackson, Spud Webb, Jim Les, Jon Barry, Gerald Wallace, Darren Collison…I think those guys kind of represent the kind of guy Keon represents for us. We like those hard workers who people didnt consider superstars but were to us. GDubb found some stardom later on with the Bobcats, to be fair to him.
No way you’re still chasing D. Fox content
We gotta move forward
Idk how we’re still calling Keon 6’3. 6’4-3/4 at combine, even Kings now have him listed at 6’5 and his wingspan I assume is similar to Nique. Difference is Nique looks and likely is stronger, only reason whatsoever I would play a rookie over Keon at that starting spot depending on matchup. The height is irrelevant
L take Matt come on man
Hey Matt what do you think if we run Sabonis as a point center like Jokic. That gives this roster more flexibility with whos playing. If he can facillitate like beam team 1 then we dont really need a point guard. Like in beam team 1 fox was more of a sg. He was score first. We need someone pass first adjust the other guys depending on matchups.
Yeah. This team is gonna push keon right out of this organization. Watch. Guaranteed he walks at the end of this season. Joke of an org
we need less breaks in between games a majority of the injuries happening back then weren't as many torn acls an strains and sprains. And its better for fans
sim bulahr is awesome
honestly trade monk for a back up big and i reaallyy hate that im saying that. we need defense and rebounding not offense
as for the gambling for steals fox did the same what seemed like everyplay he used to piss me off with that even though he was my fav
its a long season plz just wait sabonis
I love The kings but they are constant garbage on every level.. keon is a great 3 and d guy.one of the few defensive players we even have.now he is about to walk and be a cheap and even better version of what Davion Mitchell has been for miami… we get the worst out of everybody
The DHO isn't the end all be all though. Yes, I would like to see it more BUT I wouldn't want to see them snap the hell out of it like they did on their beam team year. Teams at the end of the season figured it out and that they used the hell out of it.
The warriors in play offs exposed that. I would like to see more of a pick N roll game with Malik and or lavine. That worked and Monk showed himself to be comfortable with that.
I agree with you 100% I think we dodged a bullet with Fox because he will never play to his contract!! Signing Fox for a max deal would have been a worse contract than Lavines
I appreciate the attempt for optimism but the argument isn't going to carry any weight because Lavine has always been a no show when it counted. He puts up empty calories in garbage time or early in games and then is Casper the rest of the time or a mason. Fox won the initial Clutch award and never shrank when you needed someone to take a shot. One paper your argument holds up but Zach isn't what he could be on paper
Lavine is a far better scorer than
If you’re not playing him why you didn’t trade him to warriors for kaminga? Apparently they asked for him in trade
This is my new favorite hot take!
23:53 that gamble pun had me dying 😂
Hopefully Sabonis plays tonight
Fox was more of a magnet that made defenders double him that lead to sabonis being more open than with lavine
I have no faith in this front office or coaching staff if they dont value Keon. Only the kings could have an elite defender who shots 45% from 3 and think he's replaceable. 🤦♂️
If Kings lost this Game I wasn't commenting the rest of the Season. Feel like I jinxed them. If they'd lost this Game I'd had stopped commenting
Wish you would give/show/demonstrate specific play breakdowns to prove your point.
