    Now we wait in a month we were inevitably fall out of the play-in or easily lose the 9-10 game to a *certain* team, have our pick swap with said team not convey at all, make minimal changes, and be known as the team that “can do damage if they’re healthy”

    All while we’ll have to integrate Zion back into the lineup after 10 months of no basketball with some fake deep team as the pelicans are solidified as a team in purgatory

    We’re ok

    BI and CJ combined for 11 turnovers, and I think almost every one led to points for the Kings.

    Okay, I understand Zion got injured. But this pretty much the same team that fought into the play in last year and gave the Suns a decent challenge. What the actual fuck is going on? We look like the worst team in the league for real.

  4. Bruh….34 YEARS since a team went from 1st in Dec to missing the playoffs. Just please don’t be known as THAT fucking team.

    There’s gotta be some huge changes this offseason. We’re WAY past the point of blaming this slump on injuries.

    Role players need to step up and coaching needs to learn how to make some fucking adjustments.

    Those CJ led bench units were rough. -27 on the night for CJ

  7. _Wado3000

    Stellar first half, terrible 3rd, and a complete lack of fight by the fourth

    Kings offense looks absolutely beautiful compared to ours. If our stars look less than at any point, then we just fall apart. Would help if we had our third star, but they didn’t have Fox so even that isn’t a good excuse.

    We desperately need to change our offensive scheme.

  8. No more excuses, this team just has to be better man. Even if Zion was healthy, we would be screwed in the playoffs playing like this. Esp vs a team that can build a wall and force the others to beat them

    No players only meeting. No leadership. No accountability. No one stepping up. Just all vibes.

    Thats what the players wanted they wanted a player coach that wont push them or yell at them. And this is where we are.

  10. CJ playing through his injury is hurting the team more than helping at this point.

  11. Who members when people were saying that we have the deepest team in the league?

  12. RightWorldliness236

    Predictable. I mean it was an accomplishment that they hung in there for 2 quarters. When you don’t have consistent shooting or reliable offense, this will be the outcome night after night. I hate to dogpile on CJ, but Griffin make a massive mistake with that contract. He’s on the books till 2026 and his game just seems to devolve year after year.

  13. SpaceAfricanJesus

    Coaching matters, but it’s a players and more specifically star driven league. Fox was out, no excuses.

    Please Zion return 🙏

    Kings are a BOTTOM 5 defense in the entire league btw. Imagine if this team had to play an actually elite defensive team in a high intensity playoff setting right now. This coaching staff would struggle to draw up a scheme that could put even 50 points on the board, not even joking. Ain’t no patented fake comebacks in the 4th happening in that situation either, shit would just be an ass whooping start to finish. Absolutely pathetic from every level of the organization.

    NOLA sports management and ownership have been an absolutely shameful embarrassment to the city to start this year. Shit had better change this summer, in a MAJOR way…

    I’m out of words. Most frustrated i’ve been with this team and i’ve been watching for 15 years. It’s exhausting at this point.

  16. TrusttheProcess13

    I blame Griff. Has all the assets to make a move to make this team better, but the best he could do was Josh Richardson. What’s the objective here? The team fell in a hole when all the injuries piled up and they lost every ounce of momentum. The team is young and there’s a bright future, but shit you have to make the moves while the window is open. The moves don’t have to be insane, but the team still has the same weaknesses they did 4 months ago

    Yet another post game interview where willie isn’t forced to answer any hard questions. If he was in a bigger market he would be getting grilled by now. Tired of not holding this staff accountable.

  18. Sucks this team can’t even be competitive. We’re getting the blown the fuck out regularly now and it’s beyond demoralizing.

  19. PowerMean

    People said I’m crazy when I said we were better under gentry and Loomis. Atleast we had a top offense, top 3 point shooting team, knew how to play Zion and Bi under gentry
