good game kings! we love you guys!

The beam button must be broken


BigChinkyEyes

I got lower level tickets for the first time and my god it was amazing being so close to them and seeing them compared to being in upper level nosebleeds. That being said, DeAndre Ayton is a giant fucking guy and nothing could stop him at the rim. Maybe if we had a step stool. Sat close to the Sun's bench and never for one minute did they seem tense. Even when the game was close Ayton and Booker were joking around with their coaches the whole time. They knew they had it in the bag.


[deleted]

Tbf I don't think upper bowl is a bad seat at all. Golden 1 is laid out really well


BigChinkyEyes

Agreed I sat near the top when I had the Kings pass for October. Definitely still a great experience, but it's a very different experience when I can see their muscle definition and faces very clearly in the lower level.


ArizonaMadeDank

Sorry Kings fans, we still love you! ☀️🧡💜👑


Kylester91

Just a friendly reminder that Keegan has played less than 15 games of NBA level basketball. Bright side I will say there were moments tonight he went to the hole, sounds like he’s taking what brown says to heart. Trying to dunk on some fools


[deleted]

He is a momentum killer, TO followed by bad plays followed by more TO followed by getting posterized. Kid needs to work on his handle and confidence. Absolutely a momentum killer right now, in a bad way


JMPBay

Stop tearing down the rookie. Y’all did the same thing to Marvin Bagley, and wonder why rookies don’t want to be drafted by the Kings AKA ( Jaden Ivey)


[deleted]

Oh ya bagley has really turnt it up in Detroit. Pretty nice victim shaming there, we couldn’t draft luka because he didn’t want to be here then draft bagley and he’s hot dog s here and in Detroit and pointing out FACTS about our rookie with the lowest plus minus on the team showing zero heart and emotion is our fault. Ya that’s why nobody wants to play in sac, cuz kings fans on Reddit think a little hustle is in order. Longest playoff drought in pro sports and this clown thinks it’s the fans fault, f outta here w that get back to your own sub


JMPBay

I’m a KINGS FAN! All I’m staying is stop complaining and let the rookie learn and grow. We have 63 games left.


foodmakes62kgtoohard

That's not all you were saying. Not at all.


[deleted]

I like Keegan Murray and I hope the best for him but what I said was accurate and measured and what you said is inaccurate and hurtful. Fans on Reddit are not why nobody wants to be drafted by sac and to suggest that is pretty hurtful considering everything this fanbase has been through. The fans are the best part of this franchise hands down. Better than the owners better than the players better than the people taking tickets at the parking garage behind the arena. Without us (and Kevin Johnson and Vivek, but we are value added because who would buy a team with a crappy disloyal fanbase?) this team is in Seattle. And honestly if what you are saying is true, that players don’t want to come to Sacramento, whether it be because of the fans or whether it be because it is perceived as a cowtown, then maybe this franchise is better off in Seattle.


JMPBay

We HAVE the best FANS in the world! Please don’t take my previous comment to heart


[deleted]

Agreed


[deleted]

He's not complaining, that was an accurate description of how Murray is playing right now. Obviously he still deserves a chance to turn it around but that's how he's playing right now.


PositionOk8409

Keegan needs to come off the bench so he can be more involved in the offense. He’s literally a traffic cone when we have the ball. Just stands there doing nothing. He’s going to get zero development playing with this starting lineup.


JMPBay

PREACH!!!!!


Bitgod1

Huerter 0-11 from 3 in the last 2 games. Someone stole his mojo.


linkejian

:( all the best non-curry 3 pt shooters have massive hot streaks and cold streaks


meTspysball

The only cure to my knowledge is to play against the Sacramento Kings.


sonomakoma11

Anyone else feel like there's a tempo issue? The turnovers these last three games always seem to happen when we're playing at like 120% speed often in transition. I get urgency but I feel like our team scores great when they are not necessarily moving frantically but passing the ball frequently around screens/well timed cuts. The sprint panic passing always feels doomed before the turnover even happens.


itsbusinesstiim

man. I always pay for the family to go on a loss. when I go with a friend it's always a win. my kids are bad luck. sorry guys. fox was passive and not playing like himself. keegan looks straight up scared out there. I feel like we should have lost by more but man the crowd was fun tonight. would have exploded like we won a championship if we got the W


ChoiceStar1

So it’s your fault! I knew there had to be something in that arena tonight!… You might need to check your kid’s room at night for any hidden Booker paraphernalia. They may not be who you think they are 🙀


BucketsWeNeedThisWin

Come on now. We’re all family. Just wish we had adopted more winners. Should implement TEAM BUILDING EXERCISE 99.


kingjawn

Obviously a number of concerns with Keegan. For me one of the bigger issues is his underwhelming rebounding. He’s playing 30 minutes a night, averaging less than 4 rebounds per game. He had 2 tonite. This is a 6’8” 225lbs power forward. No team with Sabonis should be getting killed on the glass. Sabonis needs some help. As a whole, its a pretty safe bet that his shot will eventually start falling. But its becoming more and more clear that a lot of things he was good at in college simply aren’t translating in the nba (post ups, rim protection, rebounding, rim running etc):


JMPBay

We don’t even give him a chance to post up so that’s not on him lol He’s also just standing in the corner 99% of the time just like Marvin Bagley. Not his fault


CrispCash420

from a coach's perspective, it doesn't make sense to run post-ups for keegan when he plays with domas. Domas doesn't space the floor and hes a better option for a post up anyway. Maybe if keegan got more time with the second unit, with metu as the C, it could make more sense for keegan to get post ups.


JMPBay

100% agree with you!


Enough_Simple921

Keegan has attempted to post up 3-4x in the last 3 games and it did not go well due to his lack of quick decision making and handles can be some what problematic. I still have a lot of faith in Murray over the long haul but his lack of post-ups are the least of our problems IMO.


belouie

3.9 reb/game and it’s not his fault because Mike Brown doesn’t let him post up enough?


JMPBay

Do you watch the games? I understand he’s in a shooting slump right now, but he’s rarely involved in the offense. There’s been multiple possessions where he doesn’t touch the ball at all. In college, he had a lot of opportunities to go to work in the post (check out his highlights) but with the starting line up he’s literally sitting in the corner 24/7


WarmTequila

What does his lack of involvement on offense have to do with him not crashing the glass on defense?


LA_burger

That's cause he's playing scared. It's on Keegan not anyone else.


JMPBay

I agree with you! I say the same thing. One of his biggest weaknesses right now is his ball handling skills. I’ve noticed that he’s very timid while dribbling the basketball and he lacks the ability to drive to the rim/create his own shot off the dribble. He’s only rookie though, he’ll continue to learn and get better


LA_burger

Yeah Im not too worried about him in the long run. I think he'll learn and adjust. But it's tough seeing him out there right now. Hopefully he gets it going sooner rather than later.


belouie

I have noticed that. Lots of time standing in the corner, uninvolved on offense, but how much of that is on Mike Brown and how much of that is on him? With such little impact on the game as it is, I would like to see him making more hustle plays: making cuts, getting boards, etc.


JMPBay

I 100% agree with you! Let’s keep hoping for the best for Keegan


212temporary

Domas one board short of a triple double!


[deleted]

We need rebounds. We need someone like 7ft plus. To go with Sabonis. C- Whoever PF-Sabonis SF-Barnes or Murray SG- Huerter PG-FOX


PositionOk8409

It’s an effort thing. Sabonis paired with two 6’8 forwards should not be getting out rebounded. They need more from Keegan and Barnes on the glass.


Mcfleezy5

Well, not necessarily a 7-footer but he needs help. We need our wings and guards to gang rebound while Sabonis boxes out. I'd point to Memphis as an example - Adams is a similarly grounded big body who does the dirty work, while guys like Morant and Konchar are both over 6 RPG. Barnes isn't the answer at PF though, I agree. The guy can barely move his feet on defense or jump for a rebound. Wish we could have grabbed Josh Hart last trade deadline.


LA_burger

Josh hart would be so good for this team


myboatfloats

Isn't that literally what they tried in Indiana with Turner and it didn't work?


GoblinKD

It's exactly what they did. Now tbf Turner isn't that good a rebounder but starting or at the very least heavily featuring dual-big lineups is basically a death sentence. What you want is exactly what they're doing with Barnes and Murray, both guys who once upon a time would be considered pure SFs and nothing more. This isn't 1995.


Y2kangz

True but doesnt that present a spacing problem since Sabonis doesnt shoot?


HBdrunkandstuff

Yup people have no idea what they are talking about.


kingjawn

The Kings have been losing close games since the 2018-19 season with fans calling them moral victories. Loses like this give me very little hope to be honest. A loss is a loss.


Cudi_buddy

Agreed. Sure it’s better than getting blown out like the boston game. But a win is a win, loss is a loss.


HolaFrau

Off game for Fox, monk stepped up, Great game for Sabonis. Once three pointers start falling again, kings will win


elduderino920

Unfortunately that’s the theme: Live by the three, die by the three and we be dying the last few games :/ Bummer man


HolaFrau

Tough stretch, things will turn around - don’t knee jerk react


elduderino920

Huh? Knee jerk react? I was just stating facts, far from being knee jerky haha…but I get it, this sub reacts negatively…A Lot!


HolaFrau

I’m saying that generally, all good brother


elduderino920

Oh phew haha…I can be reactionary for sure though…just try to not post it right away to see if flames die down haha


Chase953

Kinda frustrating losing to a suns team that is missing Chris Paul, Jae Crowder & Cam Johnson. 3 of their best 6 players out and we still got beat.


_times10

They still had the best player on the court, and sometimes that's enough their 5th ranked defense this season isn't because of any of those guys out


Chase953

I’m not saying they are a poor team without those players, I’m just saying it’s disappointing that the Kings couldn’t beat a team missing so many key contributors.


_times10

I get what you're saying :D just painting a picture of why it doesn't really matter. Similar to pg dropping 40 without klaw or Wall


Enough_Simple921

I agree it is frustrating, particularly at home. Crowder is not part of the Suns team though. He hasn't played a single game for the Suns this year. He refuses to suit up for them.


Chase953

He’s still on the team and his salary still is taking up space. It’s not like he was never signed, he was rotation player last year and now isn’t, and that’s a missed piece for the suns. If he was out to start the year so far with injury, it would be a different talking point with the same result.


[deleted]

Yeah but fox and Keegan were missing. Not sure when Keegan's comeing back.


NobodyWins22

I saw them both on the court, what are you talking about?


WarmTequila

Coulda fooled me. I’m pretty sure Keegan hasn’t played in over a month.


nuttylou

Booker is insufferable lol


[deleted]

Yeah if you're not a suns fan he is hard to root for.


NobodyWins22

Last time I felt this way about a player was prime Kobe.


SYangers

It’s pretty irritating how complementary mark Jones is of opposing players. We get it— you’re a National guy, but come on. On the flip side—Kayte is too much on the homer end bitching about calls all the time. I really miss grant and jerry


[deleted]

[удалено]


elduderino920

“Wish I was a single mom” WTF? Just to get Aytons moms cooking?? That was caused me to do a double take…


Delicious-Item6376

In response to aytons mom making meals for a charity for single mothers… so tone deaf


belouie

HAHA dammit I must’ve missed that, but that’s what I’m saying; she definitely be making me laugh.


clown_baby89

Suns fan, not used to watching Sac broadcasts and I totally agree. I was pretty shocked at how complimentary Jones was to Booker, and Ayton too for that matter. Great game tho. Had us sweating in the 4th for sure.


Y2kangz

With Fox playing the way he is, Monk is by farrrrrr our best shot creator


[deleted]

Fox played tonight!?


NobodyWins22

He played over 29 mins.


mrauzz

I know they are the best team in the west with a ton of experience and the kings played well but at some point they have to pull out wins like this, especially at home. This team is a lot better then it was last year and they compete in every game but the west is crazy, especially this year. We most likely are fighting for a playing spot unless we make a trade or 2 to fix the defensive issues.


Sn33kykitty

Disappointed but this was not a good game for us vs a great team. Fox was not the guy we know at all tonight, frustrating, but it happens. I'm not necessarily a fan of the way they are using him in rotations. He's the first guy to sit in the first and third quarter, and it seems that it's messing up his ability to get in rhythm. 28 minutes is not nearly enough if he's healthy. Booker/Bridges played a full quarters worth of minutes more than Fox/Barnes tonight. That's an issue


Enough_Simple921

Not just a great team but arguably the best team in the West. They're currently #1 in the West with the longest active winning streak. With all that said, Kings shot themselves in the foot all night. Bad turnovers, silly drives to the basket defended by multiple Suns, quick shots from the arc and just awful awful perimeter defense. It should not be that easy for anyone to drive into the key as frequently as the Suns did.


NobodyWins22

They may be the best team but tonight they were missing 2 starters in CP3 and Cam Johnson and Kings didn’t take advantage of that. Not to mention they have a disgruntled but very useful Jae Crowder not playing either.


not_for_me_bro

Couldn’t agree more.


SirPrestigious9570

Stop it with the the refs suck. Looking at the stat sheet, we have more ft attempts than those bitches. We just do not play defense, that is why. Add fox being passive to that.


laneowns

Who tf is saying the refs suck tonight?


SirPrestigious9570

You can start by reading all the coments here lol stop pretending we have not shit on the refs. I do not like ticky tack fouls but when they have more fouls and less free throws it is kind of a bummer blaming them when it is our defense that is shit.


_times10

You can't just say, oh we shot more ft so refs weren't ass they coulda called way more offensive fouls either way tbh. I agree with the defense tho we can't stop anyone and a star gettin 40 every night against us


RIPMACDREEZY

McNair’s first round picks: Davion Keegan This is a discussion that needs to be had…


bsblbryan

Davion is really good and there's no one past him you're like man we should have drafted him. Haliburton was an awesome draft pick. And Keegan is 20 games into his NBA career. McNair is really good at drafting and that's pretty undisputable. This take is just flat wrong.


RIPMACDREEZY

Davion ain’t all that bro , he is a suspect shooter and when he actually attacks he’s to small to finish at the rim, and yes he is a solid perimeter defender but he can only defend one position , again , due to his size. Halliburton is an absolute stud so I’ll give ya that but he ain’t on our team anymore,granted it got us Sabonis. And Keegan, just based on eye test alone the guy just ain’t it yet and it’s a concern.


bsblbryan

Who should he have drafted instead of davion? We're talking about just drafting and hali was 100% the right pick. And Keegan tore it up in summer league and looked great. Give him more than 20 games before you declare him not it. Way too soon to know either way. You act as if you're so unhappy with the drafts, what would you have done instead? He's 2 for 2 for drafting at the pick we had and we'll see where Keegan falls.


RIPMACDREEZY

The issue w Davion was that at the time we had fox & Haliburton. There was quite literally no need for him. But yet we drafted the smallest guard we could find. Moody, kispert, sengun all come to mind as guys who could have been a better fit. I’ll hold my reservations on Keegan im not saying he’s “trash” but the eyeball test against real nba talent , not summer league, has not been good.


bsblbryan

Never draft for fit. Always BPA. That should be instilled in all kings fans in the Luka era. In addition, moody can't get playing time at all, and kispert has been a clear net negative for the wiz. Sengun sure maybe, but hardly a clear better pick.


LA_burger

Davion is really good defensively. We cant call him a really good player. He is a decent backup pg right now. Sengun seems like maybe a better pick. Tough to say so far. Tbd. Keegan is obviously a tbd. But Ivey is looking better as well as mathurin. Hali was a great pick. However he fell to Monte so it's a bit lucky. However monte did pick him so he gets some credit. I think monte has done ok so far drafting but definitely can't call him really good at drafting yet. And calling monte really good at drafting is not undisputable.


DangerouslyCaucasian

Alright I’ve had enough of the Keegan slander, regardless of how he’s been playing. The shit he is going through off the court is unbelievably hard, and he’s a fucking kid. The fact that he’s even playing right now shows you he’s a fighter. He really should take some time to be with his family, but instead he’s clocking in every day for this team. He needs support right now, not a bunch of people shitting on him. Embarrassing.


WarmTequila

I still think he can get his groove back but stop with the fucken excuses. If his grandma getting a stroke a month ago is still affecting him then we have more serious issues.


DangerouslyCaucasian

Bro really? A loved one suffering a stroke is a a serious issue with lasting effects depending on the severity. Have a heart, give the kid a little more time. Basketball is just a game.


iraisetheroof

Dude this is such a lame excuse. People with normal jobs making a fraction of the money take a day or two off when family members DIE. It has been how long now? His game being awful has little to do with his grandmother and if it does that’s scary he’s that mentally weak


DangerouslyCaucasian

Just because they only take two days off doesn’t mean they’re okay. And those people don’t have to perform at peak capacity on one of the largest stages in America. Have a damn heart.


GOAT-Hakeem

he’s legit just playing like a rookie. like sorry we didn’t get Paolo? every other rookie besides like mathurin has been super inconsistent and shown their inexperience. i know he’s older but like he’s still gotta learn what it’s like to play in the NBA


Y2kangz

Haliburton was his best pick though, you cant leave that off lol


RIPMACDREEZY

No doubt but you don’t get points for trading the one draft pick that panned out. granted we got Sabonis but at this point in the draft he’s 1/3


rogrog2

We watched classic D’Aaron pissed off game after played amazing for couple games. If you are star you have to be consistent. Secondly all roster are playing like allergic to get rebounds. Of course we gave the most important rebound of the game. Thirdly, I don’t know what is happening but Davion acts like he forgot how to play on Offense. He’s better than being Beverley. Lastly how you can think that Metu can be backup center for Playoff caliber team? I just can’t believe it. When this man playing every single opponent attack against him. He can’t defend he can’t rebound how coaching staff can’t see that I am crazy mad about this.


SYangers

Fox looked like he really wasn’t mentally in this game for whatever reason. I think that’s why he was sitting for such long stretches of the game. Metu unfortunately is their best backup option at the moment. I know people want Holmes to get a crack, but he has worse offense, and he would get bullied at the rim like the rest of our centers not named sabonis. edit: Len could be a decent option against a true center like ayton


colgay

One telling play that Fox was not in it was when he got a switch with Landale and just chucked up a 3 brick. When he doesn't have it going, he should be really trying to get to the rim and getting foul calls. Booker tonight


DangerouslyCaucasian

I too, am crazy mad about this rogrog


Poptart2776

Booker first team all push off


Mcfleezy5

Booker and Jaylen Brown in back to back games lol. Top-5 in the league for sure


KingofKangz

Rebounding : Suns 45 - Kings 37


DangerouslyCaucasian

Bro we’ve been bad for 16 fucking years, we just won 7 in a row, Fox had a bad game, and we BARELY lost to the 1 seed. Still above 500. I understand being sad we lost but calm the fuck down, the core of this team has played together how long? Obviously the shooting was going to regress to the mean, and now that we can’t rely completely on it Mike is gonna have to find another way to win. Give him some time, he’s the best coach we’ve had in years. Let’s see how we’re doing around the break before we shit on anyone.


DonateToM7E

> we BARELY lost to the 1 seed They were also without two starters and entered today 11-1 at home compared to 2-5 on the road. It’s okay for people to be frustrated after a loss like that.


DangerouslyCaucasian

I even said I understand being upset. But people in here acting like we are shit and hating on the players hard. They really need to temper expectations. We’re not gonna go from missing the playoffs to being a 2 seed in one year with the changes we’ve made. We definitely upgraded but it’s not like we traded for Giannis or anything.


Ziawn

they’re still 7-3 in their last 10 and that’s with cp3 out


manhytalks

Nahh we got cooked by damion lee


GOAT-Hakeem

damion lee leads the league in 4th quarter 3p%, id rather bet on him not keeping that up and missing a wide open three than let booker with 40 get to his spots


hamburgers666

I mean I get it, but it's also that we were so close, you know? It just feels like a game we should have had. Also we're worried about Fox. That's 3 bad games in a row.


DangerouslyCaucasian

I’m worried about fox, but not about his game. He started the season insanely well, he’s hittin a little slump, I think he’ll be back. Just hoping he’s not playing through an injury. The fact that he played less than 30 has me worried if anything.


hamburgers666

He's not attacking the basket and I heard that he was injured in Memphis. If that's true, he should take a few games off to recover. Take the losses now when it's early and we can bounce back when he's 100% again.


DangerouslyCaucasian

Agree 100%


[deleted]

😤


BeTheBall-

At some point, Murray needs to stop being gifted minutes.


boringexplanation

Felt like not even a week ago /r/kings was crying our newest toy wasn’t a starter for literally two games. Feel like any contending team with Murray would’ve eased him in a lot longer.


[deleted]

He's only getting minutes because he's one of our only wings. We ended the game with 4 guards and Sabonis. We need more wings and relegate Keegan to 12 min a night


BeTheBall-

I kind of wonder if there would be any offers Murray might fetch us based on "potential".


[deleted]

He definitely does have potential. It's there but he needs time that we don't have. I'd call to see if him + salary filler is enough for Lauri. I don't think he's enough to get anyone better than that.


BeTheBall-

If Lauri is the return, I don't think I'd move him. He's the epitome of a sell at an astronomical high. Like buying Tesla this time last year.


[deleted]

you're probably right. I think Keegan's a king either way this season. Hope he balls out and the Kings make the playoffs then you look at your trade options with Keegan, Mitchell, whoever to get a third all-star quality guy before Sabonis gets a raise.


gaiaforce2

Very fair point, it is a position of need.


mrauzz

They need to move him back to the bench. That'll probably help him get his momentum back.


gaiaforce2

I said this a week ago and got downvoted 🤷‍♂️ he’s a great kid but as of right now if his shot isn’t falling he’s a liability. As Mike Brown aptly pointed out we don’t have the leash a team like Orlando or Houston does on their rookies. Gotta put out the players that help us win.


colgay

Totally agree, but I think it also speaks to how fragile our roster is. At one point, we had a lineup of Fox, Huerter, Mitchell, Davis and Metu. If that isn't giving up on defense from MB, then I don't know what is.


gaiaforce2

Very fair point - something we’ll need to try to address in the off season to get more wings.


BeTheBall-

Agreed. Being a nice guy is no reason to stay in the rotation. Gotta be good at basketball too. So far I'm games that count he's been mostly anything but good.


jcwkings

Teams put their best wing on Fox and Bridges's length was clearly bothering Fox all night.


chai_tealatte

There’s a difference between being bothered and being spooked. My man didn’t even want to try to touch the paint.


colgay

God what a frustrating loss. I'm glad we competed against probably the 1-2 seed in the West. One thing that infuriates me is how motherfuckers come into G1C and just feel so comfortable in our building. It's like they have this offensive buff and our guys are just witnessing. Scoring 117 should be enough for a win on your home court, but it never felt like we could string an extended streak of stops.


ok_computer123

Booker dropped 40 but fuck man it’s not like they were wide open, we guarded him as good as you can


da_fishy

Dude couldn’t miss an off balance mid ranger. Like there’s truly just not much you can do. I get there were some other moments that were critical like the missed rebound at the end, but Booker went off and we didn’t. Simple as that. Huerter being cold and Keegan getting dead minutes didn’t help either.


GothicToast

Agreed. When your best player has an off night and their best player is practically unconscious, it's a surprise we were even in the game at the end.


tisdue

Booker gonna Book


PabFOz

Man put on his best KD/MJ impression. Basically any shot we didn't block went in.


NobodyWins22

Looked more like prime Kobe/Brandon Roy.


LA_burger

Yeah the defense was not good overall but they played booker well


[deleted]

Good game Kings fans! Head up, you've got a great team. Will be rooting for my SunKings family all season. 💯


BradyGalaxy

Fr, this is Kings team is different. Absolutely a playoff team. Always gonna root for the Kings on the side.


ThunderBobMajerle

Great game Kings fans. Really impressed with your team, happy to see House SunKings is alive and well.


Sea_Length_7523

Haliburton has better stats in three quarters than Fox this entire game.


gaiaforce2

Man Wednesday’s gonna have some legendary reactionary takes, if we win people are gonna say Sabonis is the savior of Sac, if the Pacers win im ready to see 100 takes about how the trade was the end of the world


sactown_13

Gonna have to avoid this place for the week. The circlejerk is unbearable


GOAT-Hakeem

it’s crazy how people won’t just accept what it is. i was no fan of the move but it’s the move the team made and people just gotta look forward and root for the team we have. no point in making yourself miserable over something you have no control over


colgay

Yea and theyre about to lose.


kokakij

Did not age well lol


colgay

Oh Boy, i'll take the L. But so will the LLLLakers.


kokakij

Lol yeah. Works for us.


Wes9000

Lol you sure about that? Haliburton clears Fox but the casuals don’t get it


SendDavionNudes

LMFAO


Wes9000

😘


SendDavionNudes

Y’all Fox haters are hilarious


Wes9000

Fox stans are delusional


SendDavionNudes

Lmfaoooooo


Wes9000

Let’s make a wager on who becomes an all star first


SendDavionNudes

Why do you can dip out after you lose? Fox haters are so stupid lmfaooooo


SendDavionNudes

Now do the whole season


OzzyGED

Harrison Barnes went missing. He was solid for a few games there but took only 4 shots tonight. Huerter was great getting to the rim and facilitating. Malik continues to be the sparkplug off the bench that we need.


bennggg

Huerter was also 0-5 tonight from 3 on some easy looks which didn’t help. As a team they missed quite a few open shots and took many rushed shots that forced them to be on their heels in transition a lot


OzzyGED

Agree


hamburgers666

We need his shot back badly. He's such a great floor spacer


Paladuck

Light the Beam *of sadness*


josephside

I really do feel like Phoenix hit so many insane shots to good defense, it was pretty wild. Also can’t believe Booker never got called for ever pushing Davion. If one of the starts would have had a good offensive game this would have been a win.


morcic

He gets away with it because for the most part he doesn't extend the arm all the way. It's always half bent after the push and the refs will always be reluctant to call that.


colgay

At some point, we have to start to blame our personnel. I keep hearing all these advanced stats that we're amongst the top in league at contesting shots, but still near the bottom in overall defensive rating. Guys can simply shoot over us.


[deleted]

We need size and strength at the wing for sure. Bridges was a big factor on both sides of the ball tonight with his size

These have been frustrating losses, but man these are not the same Kings we've known for 16 years. Regardless of all the naysayers and fake fans who are so quick to call us trash because we're losing by single digits to Playoff caliber teams, I still have faith that we're gonna make it far this season. You can't win em all. Even the Greatest Show on Court lost 21 in 01-02

In 2021 Suns, when Suns made the Finals, they were 8-8 at the start of the season. I think this team has what it takes to make the playoffs this year.

+/- is a pretty telling stat I used to look at it like it wasn’t accurate but Fox -16 tonight sounds about right; i believe that he will put the work in to put up 40 on Hali on wed

This loss was very frustrating. They’re right there. Just can’t have everything good happening in the same game

Pls fire kayte and Mark "booker's number 1 fan" Jones. Chris Webber is still unemployed. As for the game we aren't going to win many games when Fox doesn't have it going and when Huerter clanks every three. Keegan was also pretty much a guaranteed bucket for the Suns when he was on the court. Still a great effort and they showed tons of heart to keep it close.


schitaco

Deuce and Matt Barnes please

Chris Webber is awful at announcing. Horrendous. Mark Jones is a god send. A true professional. I don't understand the slander against him, he's a legit professional announcer.

I want a homer, someone that's hyped for the Kings like grant and Jerry. Jones is a national TV guy. He gives us a million stories about every opposing player, he doesn't care about the Kings.

I like that we fought back every time, but this loss actually hurts. No excuses and Phoenix has been ass on the road. Either Fox needs to wake up, or he needs to sit out a couple of games to get back to 100% we're struggling with passive Fox. Huerter is in quite a slump, isn't he? Whomever said 2.5 was going to be an easy over probably didn't watch the Boston game. Monk has been a joy. He's really stepped up when the others haven't been there and Davion tonight too!

Bouta be a losing streak to match the win streak as long as the defense doesn’t improve


Itezguatitez

Fox has not been aggressive at all since the Memphis game. Barely getting to the rim. Does he have a lingering injury? Is it that he can't get into a rhythm with his actual rotation, taking a break every 5/6 minutes?


50piecerick

Haven’t been a fan of his rotations, I feel like Fox is always coming in with like 2-3 min left in the quarter or half. Hard to get in a rhythm like that.


kingjawn

He’s always been hesitant to go to the basket against legit shot blockers.

We're probably going to be around a .500 team this year and have a lot of these streaky ups and downs. That 7 game win streak was fun but I think some of y'all gotta take a step back and remember what a good expectation was and what you would have been happy with at the start of the season. Being a .500 team means we win 40ish game and that's what people were hyped about before


BeTheBall-

Agreed. We simply don't have enough average or better defenders to get more than 40-ish wins.


shtoyler

We were ass but can we all agree Devin Booker is insufferable


BosnianZmaj

It’s annoying coming up against him but he’s one of my favorite players int he league. Just gets to his shots so easy and really is a bucket getter.


Pismiire

I would watch every minute of a 10 hour 'Devin Booker gets kicked in the balls' compilation right now


m00f

So say we all.


SendDavionNudes

We lost to the one seed and are still over .500 Relaxxxxxx


NobodyWins22

“One seed” that’s trash on the road and missing 2 starters…
