Put Sasha back in over HB and we win.
This was the plan all along. Bring them into a false sense of security and as soon as Russ rocked the baby… activate comeback game plan.
Finally we get the lineup I asked for… now just need to run real plays to create the shot opportunities. Not just drive and blind throw it out or miss free throws.
I love nights where we can never get a foul when it should be a shooting foul, just swallow that shit. Then when they do want to call a foul, no continuation and always on the floor.
Let’s go Fox, Trey, Monk, Sasha and Kevin. We need driving, rebounding and shooting. Do it coach.
Sasha on offense, defense, tipping hustle and rebounding is 1000x Barnes. Why is HB there. Put Trey or Monk in. Him helping on defense alone has been a lot. It’s crazy how much better he would be so put Monk in to help give us another option to drive. We can still claw this back.
What’s with this lineup? Why isn’t Trey Lyles out there? Sasha was the only shooter actually hit a 3. I mean and what’s wrong with Kevin? Doesn’t worth it to have Kessler out there if he’s not significantly impacting defense. We need spacing.
Kings… just do what Clippers are doing. Fucking drive and then kick PROPERLY to someone wide open or a dish. We aren’t getting calls so at least start making middies. Why we keep just chucking without driving is beyond me, did coach lose his playbook? He really starts throwing shit at the wall when we get in a hole which then usually means sticking with some random lineup for SUPER long.
Why don’t we do that horns action like from Minnesota? Get it in the paint. We can’t just keep missing open 3s.
What hour/time do they shut the beam off again? Looking for a nice celebratory drive
Somehow without Fox, we have the closest game against the Warriors this season so far, with him back and Trey Lyles back it’s becoming a blowout. This is beyond embarrassing.
Kevin is on fire. Keep him shooting. Sabonis is better than McGee. Keep him in. Bring back Trey Lyles. Use Keon for Fox rest mins if he’s back, no Davion and being back Monk. HB apparently is our all star so keep him the whole time, he’s only one who can attack basket.
Fox been fouled a few times and no call, so either finish or use your drive to kick out. Run the horns play, do something Mike Brown. Jesus this is just so sad and on national TV.
What are we doing?! No Domas? Kevin came out hot as hell firing 3s and he’s been out
McGee coulda shot. Dishes to Trey. Trey right under basket also passes it up. Why… guys were down, take the easiest bucket while you have numbers. Instead basically 4 point swing happens. Smh.
They get in our heads for some reason, also have Kevin out there. He came out on fire, we need points, Mike.
So are Kings fans lol. He was out there for his defense, long as hell. If he could consistently hit his shot he would easily steal more minutes
Honestly with Trey back, feel good. But we need Keegan back to smother Steph. He did a great job in that game we only lost to Klays buzzer beater.
No offense. But people gotta stop saying “hey we started last season 0-4” because did you watch those game last season?? They were fast paced, exciting, high scoring action games that game down to a few points. And several of them also went that way due to lopsided refereeing and bad/missed calls that decided the game against us.
Nothing remotely in the realm close to the Kings we saw these last two games.
So I personally feel like all this “turning everyone into a lock down defender” mindset is hurting us since somehow the whole team has dropped down a peg. We need our pace and speed back, off ball movement and passing back. These things don’t require Fox on the court.
This all being said, I am begging the gods to bring back Fox for Fridays In Season game… our group is arguably the toughest with OKC stepping up and Spurs Wemby, Plus Minnesota is the best defense and has always given us serious trouble. Most likely Warriors gonna be the ones to advance, but I’d like for it to be a competitive race and have a shot at that wildcard spot. That only happens if we win against OKC, and I feel we’re gonna need Fox to do that. We didn’t need that last year, we won against OKC with Fox sitting, but they was TOUGH hard fought wins (this is also when Heurter got his shot back during tornado lockdown)… and I don’t have confidence after last two games we beat this current OKC team without Fox.
People was saying Kings have best shot winning In Season before things started, think we all felt that. But whatever mentally had happened to our squad… we can’t stop that OKC game. Cause Warriors have had our number lately, and literally the other 3 teams all give us serious issues with super long and tall players/centers, so can’t afford to drop it. It would be a bummer to do so bad this inaugural year.
Anyway, hope boys snap out of it. Also I know Monk is a firecracker off bench… but start him. Keon Ellis can be a firecracker off the bench too, hell even Ford was. We gotta start strong because our team is mentally weak. When we get down, it only compounds. Because there’s no Fox that the guys have hope in bringing them out of a 15-20 point hole in the back half. So when we don’t start strong it only gets worse cause they don’t have the confidence in themselves to get out of it. Which is crazy cause first rockets game in the 3rd their defense actually stopped them from scoring for 7 minutes and they caught up. Only to blow all that effort. Still. Boys snap out of it.
Hell yes us Sacramento Kings will happily trade for Caruso lol more than Lavine. Wow.
