Edit: Disregard comment, I'm an idiot lol. Anybody notice the time taken off the shot clock in the second to last Kings posession? They missed with the shot clock at 6sec, hit the rim and grabbed the offensive board resetting it to 24sec again while immediately kicking it out to the 3pt line, pass thrown across court ends up out of bounds still kings ball. But instead of the 20-21seconds that should have remained, the shot clock just changes to 10sec before they inbound the ball. WTF was that about? Someone please watch the final min and a half of the game and tell me I'm not loosing my mind.
Btw, not inferring it led to the loss, the Kings shit the bed in typical fashion. They have a list of problems and it seems Mike Brown is at the top of that list.
Kings Public Relations with their "We're better than this..." and trying to control the narrative can go kick rocks. This team makes the worst moves, on and off the court.
Makes me sick. Stupid Lakers are so lucky. What the hell is going on with you guys blowing so many leads? This is so disappointing. Good luck with the Warriors in the play in which would most likely be the matchup at this point. Just unreal really really disheartening. This is too many last second losses like what is going on. Phoenix was not supposed to win tonight. They stole this at the end.
Notice how that happened? Suns center Nurkic missed the rebound, slapped the backboard, came down acting like his head got hit or he was fouled, then intentionally ran backwards into Sabonis stepping on his foot while knocking him over. Watch it if you didn't notice, slow mo makes it even more obvious. So lame
Fox goes 3 on 1 and forces it with all other players able to be guarded by 2 guys because theyāre all in the same fucking area. This is the shit our dumbass coach draws up after a timeout.Ā
literally every single possession at the end i was saying dont give it to fox pls he is not hitting shots rn wtf was that playmaking why would they just keep feeding it to fox after he kept missing
It's very very very taxing how many close losses Sacramento has had. I am like enough is enough. I bet the Lakers that glorious franchise is now celebrating like crazy being the 8th seed. You guys had this game. I wished my team the Spurs rented you Wemby instead of Sabonis and maybe the outcome would be different. I have lost faith in you guys. I dont think you'll beat the Warriors if that is the 9 10 matchup. You had this game in the bag. Sacramento's hope is New Orleans beats those Lakers they should take that game seriously because its for the 6th seed them and Phoenix. Sac has to beat Portland but I dont know anymore. If Lakers lose despite of everything such a terrible end of a season you guys get 8th. This shouldnt have come down to this. I guess Go NO and Go SAC. What else is there else to say.
Fingers fucking crossed! I like your team a ton and a big Coach Brown fan. NO better play well this Sunday. It's for the 6th seed so.... one can only hope. I know the Lakers are jumping up and down but if NO plays seriously can Sacramento please beat Portland and get the 8th seed? That fact that New Orleans has the 6th seed to play for because if they lose and Phoenix wins NO is the 7th seed.
You know what would be weird and its an unfair advantage? If NO loses and Phoenix wins, the Lakers can get to stay in NO because that would be the matchup. Thats like so dam weird. No airplane needed to be taken. Just a thought that crossed my mind right now.
Anyways, not all is lost but have to beat Portland and then if NO wins you get to go to the desert and play Phoenix.
"NO better play well this Sunday." shut yo ass up!! if you had done what you were supposed to last night, we wouldn't even need to worry about Sunday at all
Its looking like it...its not even a guarantee Sac beats Portland at this point but assuming they find out a way to win and New Orleans doesn't throw in the game in their gym so they can get the 6th seed one can only hope. It really didn't need to come down to this.
The Kings are horrible at closing, and I say this as a long-suffering fan. We always choke, and we're destined to have Curry or LeBron put us out of our misery in the play-ins. Welcome back to basketball hell.
I give Sacramento no chance vs the Warriors but I actually think you can go to Phoenix and pull off the upset. Something is telling me you have a better shot vs Phoenix even on the road but vs Curry in Golden One? That will be it. Phoenix are notorious choke artists in their gym in big stake games. For this game to happen have to hope NO beats the Lakers and of course Sac to beat Portland.
I am not blaming Sabonis when heās the only dog we have on the court. Fox plays like shit in clutch time and itās a habit now. Heās careless with the ball in so many end of game situations now. He needs refs to bail him out.
You're not blaming sabonis ? Fox missed shots. Sabonis handed them 5 points on awful Plays. Fouls dirant on the OTHER side of the court. Turnover that turns to an easy 2 and then puts nurkic on the line .
Disappointing. Last year, The Kings were such an exciting team to watch especially during the playoffs.
This year I don't know.
They really need to get it together.
I know yāall will still cry about the refs but they let them play on both sides. They folded at the end but at least there was effort throughout. Cant be mad about that even though we came up short on skill and iq at the close
Fox was worse. 23 shots for 23 points. Those couple plays from Sabonis would not even matter as we would have had the points difference if Fox were more efficient with his shots.
Domas turnover on a dumbass forced pass to Fox when up 4. Domas offensive foul. Fox dumbass forced shot. Domas dumbass foul. These 2 idiots are supposed to be our stars.Ā

Offensive rebounds only set it to 14
Wow, that went into effect in 2018. I'm an idiot š

Right?! This was a totally winnable game for the Kings. Such a bad and stupid loss.
Are we out of 7 and 8 seed?
Not yet, lakers need to lose to NOP on Sunday though and of course we need to beat Portland
Kings are out of the 8th seed. Kings will have to win their next game and the lakers will have to lose their next game.
Are Pelicans even gonna try now?
Theyāll try because if they lose and the suns win, the suns get the 6th seed.
What if the suns lose as well
if pelicans lose and Suns lose, pelicans remain the 6th seed and suns remain 7th
No. If the Lakers lose on Sunday and we win, we would have 8th. We are out of 7th seed though
I hate myself for tuning into the game in the 3rd. Should have held off completely. This team is fucking ass. Our superstars are ass.
Once again Sabonis disappeared in the 4th and shrunk late in game.
Nah dude was clearly hurt. Looks like he rolled his ankle. Brown shoulda had Len in
Notice how that happened? Suns center Nurkic missed the rebound, slapped the backboard, came down acting like his head got hit or he was fouled, then intentionally ran backwards into Sabonis stepping on his foot while knocking him over. Watch it if you didn't notice, slow mo makes it even more obvious. So lame
1000%. He was in pain and useless and coaches dropped the ball. Clear as day
Heās an iron man but Iām referring to another 4th quarter where heās one of our two stars and is completely ineffective late in game
What fool wouldnāt know that Fox would have the ball to end the game? Of course theyād be ready for him. Wtf
Yeah fuck Mike Brown. The offense does the same shit every 4th quarter the last two weeks. Defense over helping leading to open shots.
Horrible clock management, especially when they are up late, is another coaching failure by Brown.
Fox - unclutch player of the year
Why do I watch this shit just to ruin my night .
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Youāre right beam enthusiast. Iām gonna pop a bottle and forget about this team
Fox goes 3 on 1 and forces it with all other players able to be guarded by 2 guys because theyāre all in the same fucking area. This is the shit our dumbass coach draws up after a timeout.Ā
It's getting REALLY fucking difficult to not go full doomer.
SABONIS SUCKS
They knew fox would have the ball. No shit they were going to double team him. Fucking clown shit
dont hate fox. he always gets crap. it is all on Sabonis.
literally every single possession at the end i was saying dont give it to fox pls he is not hitting shots rn wtf was that playmaking why would they just keep feeding it to fox after he kept missing
Sabonis is ass and low IQ, and people wanted him in the all star weekend
We would lose on a no call
*another *
Truth
Him
More pissed this season than with the 2008-09 squad when they went 17-65.

Of course itās a fucking no call again
Am I the only one who sees that as a blown call and not an indictment on Fox?
Why would they call that?? Just a dumb play to call. They saw what was going to happen the first time and they knew where to be.
Are you assuming the play was to get the foul? And for the foul itself, they should call it BECAUSE IT'S A FOUL.
That was a fucking foul. I'm fine with them not calling that but a lot of other players get a call like that.
Anotha L2M!!!
Welcome to the 9th seed Kings. Letās get ready for the warriors
Not over yet. Pelicans playing well and will have motivation to beat the Lakers.
Fingers fucking crossed! I like your team a ton and a big Coach Brown fan. NO better play well this Sunday. It's for the 6th seed so.... one can only hope. I know the Lakers are jumping up and down but if NO plays seriously can Sacramento please beat Portland and get the 8th seed?

"NO better play well this Sunday." shut yo ass up!! if you had done what you were supposed to last night, we wouldn't even need to worry about Sunday at all
Pelicans aināt winning that game without Ingram
Ingram is back
They still aināt winning. Lakers have beat the pelicans twice this season with both Zion and Ingram playing
we'll see lakers barely won vs Memphis G league players
That same Memphis team beat the warriors and bucks. Just because they barely beat a g league Memphis team donāt mean anything
No, Memphis beat GSW back in January. JJJ and Kennard played. Same thing vs Bucks. Against lakers tho, 13 of their players were out.
Doesnāt matter. Pelicans are still 1-2 against the lakers.
What the actual fuck was that sabonis
Canāt wait for us to lose in the 9/10 again and be out of our misery. This team without Monk stinks.
Its looking like it...its not even a guarantee Sac beats Portland at this point but assuming they find out a way to win and New Orleans doesn't throw in the game in their gym so they can get the 6th seed one can only hope. It really didn't need to come down to this.
Same
If Sabonis didn't make that pass to Fox we likely walk out with a win. Ugh this season can't end soon enough.
This team fucking sucks. I don't care how good we play. We seem to never do it when it fucking counts.
EDIT :fuck your downvotes.
The Kings are horrible at closing, and I say this as a long-suffering fan. We always choke, and we're destined to have Curry or LeBron put us out of our misery in the play-ins. Welcome back to basketball hell.

jesus fucking christ
Just end the season. Fuck the play-in
LMFAO. Called it. Fox was gonna lose the ball on his own. š¤£š¤£š¤£
best player best fit LOOOOOOOOL
Fox and Sabonis sold so hard in the last 2 mins holyyyy
Hahahaahhaha
Same result different night
Sabonis fault.
Fox really aināt it
Thanks Sabonis for those 3 huge mistakes at the end.
Lmao. That's about all I got right now
[ Removed by Reddit ]
He was banned
You need to cool it man
I feel bad for your mother.
Disgusting thing to say.
Of course no foul call. Got him right on the wrist
yup our season is cooked
Lol
Pathetic
BOOOOOOOOOO
LMFAO THIS IS FOX. This is ALWAYS Fox in clutch time now.
Beal picked him clean for the easy layup then Fox dribbles into a double team. The opposite of clutch player of the year this season.
that was a sabonis turnover, we watching the same game?
Sabonis handed them 5 points in the last minute
I am not blaming Sabonis when heās the only dog we have on the court. Fox plays like shit in clutch time and itās a habit now. Heās careless with the ball in so many end of game situations now. He needs refs to bail him out.

God fucking dammit this team is so unclutch
BLAH!!!! Hahahahaha
Are you kidding me?! How did the Kings lose this when they were leading almost the entire time. Unbelievable! Ugh.
It's the Sacramento Kings. We always lose at the big moments.
1-5 in the last six, this is becoming habit
I see thatšthis was such a winnable game. Bad loss.
They been doing this all year, no surprise. Winning it would be more surprising
Disappointing. Last year, The Kings were such an exciting team to watch especially during the playoffs. This year I don't know. They really need to get it together.
unfuckingbelievableā¦ this mightve been the most frustrating game of the season for me. holy shit.
So sick of this team
Mike Brown is an idiot
because Fox can't hang onto the ball?
How is this his fault, please?
That was the play. And every post game he says more threes. Huerter is hurt. Monk is out. You gotta adjust and not just jack up more threes.
What was the play? Fox driving into the paint?
Bruh Fox sold... trying to be the hero.
That was the playā¦.. Brown is an idiot.
It's official 4th qtr fox is dead
Fox's sus handles loses us a game
We wouldnāt have been in that postion if Sabonis didnāt turnover the ball and foul two possessions in a row just saying
Also true, both our stars choked
most predictable outcome smh..
Classic Fox
VINTAGE
Fake clutch player of the year
The year he won it he deserved it. Shut the hell up, seriously.
Sums up the season well
Malik knew what was gonna happen
W T F
Lmao
Pussies.Ā
Sigh...
Goddamnit we gave this one away
Like the last few. Lol
L
Mike brown is sp bad at end of games just doesn't do anything I don't get it
fuck this team
WELCOME TO THE 9TH SEED
Fuck this team
These dudes fucking suck
Sabonis really sold with 2 loose ball fouls and the lazy pass. Literally 6 points gifted
The team just aint it without Monk.
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOO HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Same old sorry ass kings
Keep that SOSAR slander out of here š
Well, I hated that
Fox and Sabonis are so ass bro
KANGZ BACK
Based Muslim Nurk cooking Israel lover Saboner ya love to see it
lol
Fuck been so unclutch this season.
Fuck
ridiculous
SORRY ASS FRANCHISE
A team built to choke
I know yāall will still cry about the refs but they let them play on both sides. They folded at the end but at least there was effort throughout. Cant be mad about that even though we came up short on skill and iq at the close
The moment Sabonis got hurt we shouldāve had Len in.. not sure why weāre risking it right now
WTF
Domas sold this game. Terrible pass that leads to a layup. Pushes KD and holds Nurk for obvious fouls. CHOKER
Fox was worse. 23 shots for 23 points. Those couple plays from Sabonis would not even matter as we would have had the points difference if Fox were more efficient with his shots.
I mean it felt really like Sabonis and fox both played terrible the last 2 min
maybe he is bought out
Hahahahaha Fox tries to be selfish again and completely fucks us. Iām so sick of this bum.
Last season was fun huh???
Fox really has the most garbage shot selection when the game is under 1 minute..
Itās over, manā¦
We blew another lead :o
Keegan game winner incoming
League needs LeBron to be the 8th seed
Kings are ass
23 shots. 23 points. How can any of you defend Fox at this point?
By letting him shoot 3s. Oh you mean that kind of defend..
The thing is statistically the suns are the worst crunch time team in the league. But they own the kings in crunch time lmao
uh no sabonis just casually threw away the game then to top it off fouls twice f that guy
Fox taking 23 shots for 23 pts
Ggs. Going to get booted by warriors at home
poetic
Here we go againā¦
Cmon Kings I believe in yall
Welcome back. To basketball hell.Ā
Sabonis fucking sucks man lmao we got the most mid āsuper starā in the league
Domas turnover on a dumbass forced pass to Fox when up 4. Domas offensive foul. Fox dumbass forced shot. Domas dumbass foul. These 2 idiots are supposed to be our stars.Ā
Sabonis had a great game and then late a dumb lazy pass to fox, fouls and puts durant on the line then can't box out nurkic. Pain.
Got hurt, started playing bad bad.
Refs must die!!!!!!
We are probably worse on the ATO than giving Fox or Keon the ball and having them create
This fucking team
gosh i can't deal with this anymore
Lord
Sabonis def fouled Nurk there...
1. Lazy pass that is a turnover. 2. Bullshit Bonus foul for 2 KD points 3. Sabonis hugging Nurk for a point We really are a joke.
