Settling for the 3 tonight. Could have easily had that game.
The kings fans should hope for major changes to the roster and maybe the coaching staff and front office this roster is seriously flawed and needs change now or to choose the route of rebuilding for the future monte we’re watching you
I don't want to hear any Sabonis praise or any double double talk unless he can figure out how to score more than 7 points a game. He's just not that guy.
at this point might as well just shoot 3's for every shot I'm sure coach would agree smh
Lived by the 3 in the firs half, doesn't the 3 in the second. Chucking way too much.
😭 more excuses vs admitting this team isn’t a great team
When wil yall admit Fox isn’t a good leader. He just jacks up shots with no basketball IQ
Disgusting. I hate today's nba
Shooting 3s is great, but shooting and dominating the paint on the glass and in field goals was, is, and always will be more efficient and dominant if done right!
Also, as another huge Domas fan, you're completely right Matt. And I know for sure he knows too that's he's having disappointing performances. He has all the capabilities, but he doesn't choose to score like a monster for some reason unless the whole team is chugging on as well for the most part. He needs to start being even more aggressive in the paint. If he can be a scoring problem down low consistently, it'll add lots of points to our averages, but mosf importantly spread the floor even more, leading to better shots and an overall more well-rounded offensive game. We all love Domas, he's a kind and humble leader, but we NEED another killer on the floor. The humility and kindness can wait for AFTER we WIN!!!!!!
Your point guard should be controlling your offense.Control of pace. And getting teammates involved other than standing at the 3 point line chucking up 3’s.Where’s the Pete Carrill offense more suited for a Point Center like Sabonis.This GSW gimmick the Kings are stuck onto at a fault is exposing the coaching staffs lack of imagination on offense.Standing on my declaration that Fox is a pure scorer who can occasionally make plays.A traditional point guard has to be inserted into this lineup.Sabonis again 3 consecutive turnovers trying to dribble in the paint with 3 guys around him.
This team doesn't even deserve a play-in. It's embarrassing watching constantly squander big leads night in and night out! Something needs to change after this train wreck season.
3pts is all Mike Brown knows. The game have evolved already.. Mike couldn't fix his offensive schemes.
Comon Matt, defense is ALWAYS more reliable that offense! It is effort and communication! Sometimes shots do not fall, but you can always hang your hat on D!
The league has figuered out Sabonis and he is sometimes a liability! Pack the paint. Domas does not have a good enough handle to take more than a few dribbles!
What happened to simply setting a pick at the top and playing off the pick and roll to get to the paint?? Like it’s not rocket science. That creates spray 3s .. even 2 screens up top of the key.. like we use to do early on what happened to that set?
Can’t play around a bad game plan. As much as I love Mike, this is at his feet and his alone. You can critique every player on the team but the plan is just bad. We could also use another solid (preferably veteran) scoring option. Fox ain’t a leader and Barnes isn’t good enough to be what they want him to be
Teams are swarming Sabonis and taking him away and Yes To Many 3s 😮
I vehemently disagree with u Matt, that the refs aren’t the story!! They absolutely are the story and Mike Brown has been too accepting of it, all damn year!!!
Sabonis makes 50 million in 2027 LMAOOO
Back to the NBA after some March-not-enough-Madness and, I finally found an intriguing underclassman in Stephon Castle, a 6'6" guard starter for the back-to-back champion UConn, who the Sacramento Kings may get a chance with their 2024 protected lottery pick, which is more and more likely with the way they are playing. I took a peak at the Kings v Thunder in the first half with the former up 19 at that time. But, I said, eh it's the Kings. Sure enough, a check later Sacramento was in Kangz mode. This is who they are, you have to take that big lead of theirs with a grain of salt.
Regarding them "shooting too many three-pointers", isn't that the mandate from their coach?
"Let it fly".
The biggest difference from last year is still Fox. I am the biggest fox supporter and he is so much above domas as the best player on the team. But, instead of being closer to SGA he goes closer to Steph…More threes from Fox makes them more inconsistent. Yes he can take over games but SGA dominates a game by reducing his threes from 5 to 2.5 per game two years ago. Fox has to be a better decoy and get the others involved or for better threes…be more like brunson than steph or lillard. Actually be more like himself …clutch in the 4th…know you are a career 32-33% 3 pt shooter.
Domas shoots 50-60% and definitely has to take more than 7 shots. Otherwise, he becomes like Looney.
Great game of the NBA officals to screw up AGAIN. Dumbass is the most dumbest player on the Kings. He need to come off the bench like a scrub should be. Alex Lyn has more of an impact that Dumbass. NBA officials will not let the Kings make the playoffs and we all know that is true since the season started. No money for the NBA if Kings make the playoffs.
Statististically, when you are up by 20 or play bad teams, Brown has to significantly change the focus. Shooting 3s is generally a lower shooting % shot so when up big or against an inferior team with better D, need to downgrade the 3 and that starts with Brown.
also without Monk, Dumbass is a scrub
Mike said what he said in the press conference cause he knows his team more than you do. You have the never to put blame on him. How about for once you put the blame on the Cheating NBA Officials. Why do you favor the officials so much. You always try to figure out a way to stick up for the officials. Not sure you are the best person to host the locked on Kings anymore. Because you seem to lock on everything but the officials when the whole league has complained about the officiating and you only spend 3 to 5 second talking about them. Put you big boy pants on and tell it like it is and don't sugar coat it like you and in favor of the officials screwing games. SMH
