No excuses they blew a game they should have won easily but again the no defense thing showed up again no time to dwell because Lakers on the way no game is a guarantee win for the kings
Give Melo his due. Best player on the court (tonight). #2allstars
Points in the paint and free throws hurt the kings. You're right. it's a throw-away game
Missed free throws were 100% the reason for losing this game..why else would Mike Brown even address it? He’s too smart of a coach to wait to be asked and this had been an ongoing issue all season long
Huge game by Sabonis again 23 rebounds bro
You would need a second center that plays something like Sabonis. The perfect backup would be Nikola Vucevic but he doesn't sit on the bench. And I don't know if Sabonis would work as PF and Vucevic as center. But Vucevic was more of a fantasy, it won't happen. I know that. Jakob Pöltl would be more realistic..Jakob Pöltl from the Spurs. His major weakness is free-throws.. But he is a good passer and his style of playing basketball is very similar to Sabonis. I've seen Pöltl play several times this season and I always thought he would be a good backup for Sabonis.
ALEX LEN IS 10000% TIMES BETTER THAN NEEMIAS QUETA MAN, IDK WHY IN THE HECK WE ARE PLAYING QUETA …. AS SOON AS NEEMIAS CAME IN THE HORNETS SCORED LIKE 22 TOTAL POINTS IN THE 7 MINUTES HE PLAYED. ( NO JOKE, 22 POINTS IN 7 MINUTES HE PLAYED. ALEX LEN NEEDS TO BE BACKUP CENTER, HES BIG AND LANKY AND TALL. #MAKEITHAPPEN
I was crying for Kings to get Kristaps Porzingis when his value was really low.
These are the kinds of games I "love to hate" when fox shoots it 25 times, and Barnes/Keegan shoots it less than 10 times.
The game was lost in the first quarter. Laziness. The hornets were quicker and had more hustle.
I blame our leader fox for not getting his teammates ready.
Poor sabonis, thought he was really hurt but he just got kicked in the nuts. CAN'T PLAY WITHOUT HIM. HE'S THE KINGS MOST IMPORTANT PLAYER. He's just as important as CHRIS WEBBER. Webber wasn't the superstar but he was important because he set the culture. And webber tried his best. Being the most important player doesn't mean "superstar."
Fox failed AGAIN. The hornets bench was mocking him. Fox looks like he's playing hurt all the time. He can't get the "superstar calls" because he's got no respect from the refs and other team.
You can be one of the greatest teams of all time, but if you miss your free throws, you can lose. Ask the 2002 Kings after game 7 of the western conference finals. This team is nowhere near that team, so it's almost 100 percent guarantee they will lose. Nothing else to discuss regarding this game. Time to move on to the next one.
