Matt I would love to see an episode about the 2022 kings, what worked so well and how is this teams strategy different? Why are we so much less fun to watch?
Health, teams didn’t have much film on our DHO, and other teams in the west were simply hurt. It was a somewhat lucky year and we failed to build upon it.
First thing to do is find a coach that can design plays and call plays. Defensive coach that doesn’t call plays, team can’t execute when they need a play
You have Jae Crowder as your dog and not playing him. He brings the fight and tenacity that the Kings severely lack. You saw him fouling Gordon and jaw jacking Gordon. Brown played Colby Jones and Doug over Keon, Crowder and Isaac??? Fire Mike Brown. But, Monte also didn't pursue Brooks or sign Crowder, whom audition for the team, over the summer. So, who's idea was it to reject these players?
I totally agree why we didn't go after Dillon Brooks when he was a free agent a yr ago. Alot of folks say it'll mess up our team chemistry but he'll definitely help us. And MB has got to go. I've been saying this since last yr.
@@pvantran82it sucks cause I feel like mike is a good coach and has good chemistry with the guys but his rotations are straight criminal, playing Colby Jones in critical minutes in this game was not it. Keon Ellis consistently has the best +- on the team and ik it’s kinda a cherry picked stat but when it’s every night it’s a clear indicator of his impact
Everyone in this comment section is slow and lost. First of all that’s exactly what’s wrong with crowder! He’s too slow, he’s not the same defender. Why do u possibly think fouling Gordon is a good thing? Matter fact why would fouling at all be a good thing? When there’s so many players that stayed in front of him all game. AG got most of his buckets from alley oops and dunks from the dunker spot, but he should not be getting passed mfs that fast. This team already fouls a lot, crowder fouling because he can’t keep up are the worse fouls with this team. Unless u want to lose off free throws from going into the bonus and nuggets are one of the best free throw shooting team. I honestly hate Colby jones but he’s had a good stretch since heurter went out. U guys are saying fire mike brown because of his rotations, last game there’s 3 rotation players OUT on injury. All year guys have been inconsistent , and averaging 9 points from the bench. U can’t play starting 5 all game, yall love to talk about Mike brown with rotation when yall watching wouldn’t even know who to put in outside of the starting 5. Mike brown shouldn’t even have to go as deep as an 8 man rotation , but he has been given no option but to because of the things I’ve just mentioned. Yall love to say fire MB , fire a guy that has the team in top 5 defense and #1 offense in the last 8 games. U dont fire a coach that can get a team to that with what he has. Nobody needs to be fired unless u want everyone star to leave on this team and lose the chemistry this team has been building, also u fire mike brown and Luke is gone too. And the players literally talk about how close they are with both of them. Since yall wanna fire MB, what coach are yall gonna get ?
That's it! After a while, it doesn't matter if the coach's words and leadership resonate or not. The presumed leaders of the teams like Fox, Monk, and Sabonis need to execute the plays and be the vocal leaders as well. Guys like Murray seem like the need to be coached hard and feed how the energy of their leads.
Another possible reason that we aren't great at home is we have heard from multiple players like Draymond and DeRozan. How much motivation the beam gave them. They say they hate it and they want with all of their heart to make sure we don't light it.
If anyone has to get traded, it has to be Fox. He might be gone anyway, might as well get something back. He's also the most easily replaced with our current roster
He's not the easiest to replace are you crazy. It's only TEN 25.5+ points per game scorers in the league. And the ones who are efficient like Fox is even less.
Demar, Sabonis and Monk are all more replaceable. If we trade Fox , Kings will not have a young All NBA level guard anymore. And it will get even harder to win.
I like DeRozan and Heurter + pick for CJohnson and DFS. Something that could make it sweeter for Brooklyn would be for them to then trade DeRozan to LA for picks and a guard- maybe Russell?
To whatever players thought this: If you think you can generate an offensive explosion whenever you want to overcome being down, then you are wrong. That’s delusional. If it were true then they should have won a championship.
Fox need to be more aggressive attacking the basket! Get a foul shot if gets fouled! Also, Sabonis needs to be a brawler under the basket & relentless to get ev rebound & put back!
Everyone talking about playing Jae crowder.. Jae crowder is a guy that u put in when ur up. He’s a vet that can play the right game the right way. But when it’s a super close game that is the guy u don’t want in. Crowder has shown his age since last year, hence to him almost not making a team. He’s slow. He gets beat, and when he gets beat he fouls, this team is heavy on fouling. And in close games u can’t afford that
First thing to do is trade fox to a team that can contend with him like San Antonio, Miami or Orlando. We only have 2 options, trade fox or trade Keegan with huerter n Lyle's. Trading the Keegan package would weaken the bench n not guarantee to make the kings a contender n not hold onto fox. Trading fox frees up the clog of guards n gives fox what he wants while gets some value back n likely keeps the kings in their current hunt for a play in spot. Monk, DeRozan, Keegan and domas is still a good starting unit n might b more balanced depending on who we get back from the fox trade
Yup, Brown knows that Keon is playing better than Kevin Huerter but knowing that he needs to appease Mcnair and to prop up Kevin's stock before trade deadline, they need to play Kevin more and hope he does well
I would trade derozan + huerter + 1 st (maybe even 2) for cam and dfs. We get more shooting (way more), more def (way more), more size, maybe more ball movement, even younger players. We loose some elite iso. But how did help us so far? We are 3-8 at close games.. also after moving monk to start we might got a decent iso player. Also having derozan and monk for long minutes together really hurts team deff. Also derozan isnt a long time option. This year is more or less lost, next season he for sure wont be better. And in general derozan fit didint work, why suffer. Also giving back option 1 to fox might give him some motivation. He is clearly not playing for 100%. Derozan gives nothing but one positive thing and sadly it doesnt work well so far.. Yes it might be overpay but isnt like 5 picks for bridges. Kings have nice core they must not waste it and risk at least a bit.
He's really good, he's just not what this team needed most. Fox/Monk/Sabonis is enough playmaking/ bucket getting. You're losing on the margins right now.
Huerter, Carter, and a lottery protected first for Cam Johnson. Lyles and Colby plus seconds for Jonas Valenciunas. Fox, DeMar, Johnson, Murray, and Sabonis. Keon, Monk, and Jonas off the bench.
Trade some people! The slow start is becauebof Fox. It's always been like that ever since he got here but we'll take him as it is. MB Monte should have known that already. Theu need to do a better plan.
Mike Brown and Christie are the problems of the team.There is no reason why Murray was so wide open in shooting a jumper in the middle of the ring unopposed and sealed the victory. Pathetic. Kings always play bad in the fourth quarter where most of the time they let other teams to catch up and win the game. Evaluate Mike Brown and Doug Christie.
We have enough good players.The kings looks like they do not have the fire to play. They are more talented than the lakers, Pelicans ,Clippers, Warrriors, Toronto, trailblazers, Jazz.motivation is lacking in the kings team. They are not aggressive like the clippers, lakers, Bucks, warriors, and Mavericks.

Health, teams didn’t have much film on our DHO, and other teams in the west were simply hurt. It was a somewhat lucky year and we failed to build upon it.
@@johannm5168true, but they got very close to the same last year and may have had a better record if Monk and Huerter didn’t get injured.
First thing to do is find a coach that can design plays and call plays. Defensive coach that doesn’t call plays, team can’t execute when they need a play
This is facts. A good example is Ime Udoka comparison to Joe Mazulla. Celtics offense is completely different compared to when Ime was the coach
You have Jae Crowder as your dog and not playing him. He brings the fight and tenacity that the Kings severely lack. You saw him fouling Gordon and jaw jacking Gordon. Brown played Colby Jones and Doug over Keon, Crowder and Isaac??? Fire Mike Brown. But, Monte also didn't pursue Brooks or sign Crowder, whom audition for the team, over the summer.

Crowder sucks and was on the coach two weeks ago stop the nonsense
I totally agree why we didn't go after Dillon Brooks when he was a free agent a yr ago. Alot of folks say it'll mess up our team chemistry but he'll definitely help us. And MB has got to go. I've been saying this since last yr.
@ Naji Marshall went for peanuts this year Derrick jones as well

see y’all thursday - kings fan in nyc

Malik’s defense has been incredible as a starter
Another possible reason that we aren't great at home is we have heard from multiple players like Draymond and DeRozan. How much motivation the beam gave them. They say they hate it and they want with all of their heart to make sure we don't light it.
Jae Crowder is your emotional intensity guy. Brown needs to play him more.
He's cooked, Aaron Gordon dribbled right around him last night. There's a reason he wasn't on a roster.
He’s washed, can’t jump or slide those feet anymore
@ maybe you guys are right, but I want to see a little more run with Jae. He did prove effective against Julius Randle.
If anyone has to get traded, it has to be Fox. He might be gone anyway, might as well get something back. He's also the most easily replaced with our current roster
He's not the easiest to replace are you crazy. It's only TEN 25.5+ points per game scorers in the league. And the ones who are efficient like Fox is even less.
Demar, Sabonis and Monk are all more replaceable. If we trade Fox , Kings will not have a young All NBA level guard anymore. And it will get even harder to win.
We should trade Fox for Markkanen. Monk can run point and we have plenty of point guards like Jordan McLaughlin, Keon as backup. 😆@@Sammy-f7l
Legit starting 5: Monk, DeMar, Murray, Markkanen, Domas Bench: Keon, Heurter, Crowder, Lyles, Isaac
A trade needs to be made sooner rather than later.The Kings are too inconsistent.Shake up the team before this becomes a losing season.
30:00 no it didn’t, it was mainly media push.
I like DeRozan and Heurter + pick for CJohnson and DFS. Something that could make it sweeter for Brooklyn would be for them to then trade DeRozan to LA for picks and a guard- maybe Russell?
Keep DeRozan we dont want him. He stinks.
To whatever players thought this: If you think you can generate an offensive explosion whenever you want to overcome being down, then you are wrong. That’s delusional. If it were true then they should have won a championship.
In my opinion I think they need a better bench, the starting 5 is pretty solid.
Fox need to be more aggressive attacking the basket! Get a foul shot if gets fouled! Also, Sabonis needs to be a brawler under the basket & relentless to get ev rebound & put back!
Hard to do that when teams pack the paint because they know DeMar won’t shoot and the rest of the team bricks everything.
nothing is hard when u are determined! get fouled & get a free shot lol!
Keegan can be our dryamond or dillon brooks 🤣🤣🤣🤣
How about Lyles + Heurter + a pick for Isaiah Stewart and Simone Fontecchio? Stewart could be your dog and Fontecchio your wing depth.
Everyone talking about playing Jae crowder.. Jae crowder is a guy that u put in when ur up. He’s a vet that can play the right game the right way.

They need a big like robert willams who can play 10-14 mins a game switch lots of positions along with size and length and get finney smith for a wing
Yup, Brown knows that Keon is playing better than Kevin Huerter but knowing that he needs to appease Mcnair and to prop up Kevin's stock before trade deadline, they need to play Kevin more and hope he does well
Kings are always afraid to make the big and correct move
Sabonis? Wym they need to upgrade the bench, get a couple dawgs
🐕🐕
Bring me drew timme at this point....
I'd trade Demar for Cam Johnson and Finny Smith.
Ofc demar is the thumbnail lol y’all be cold hating
If the kings go 0-2 vs the lakers a trade will happen asap lets hope 2-0 though
I would trade derozan + huerter + 1 st (maybe even 2) for cam and dfs. We get more shooting (way more), more def (way more), more size, maybe more ball movement, even younger players.

Yes it might be overpay but isnt like 5 picks for bridges. Kings have nice core they must not waste it and risk at least a bit.
Is this a 50 win team?
They over confidence themself. Fox need to be consistence every games there will be game that hes not aggressive enough
Why DaRozen bad signing. Needed something different
He's really good, he's just not what this team needed most. Fox/Monk/Sabonis is enough playmaking/ bucket getting. You're losing on the margins right now.
Huerter, Carter, and a lottery protected first for Cam Johnson. Lyles and Colby plus seconds for Jonas Valenciunas.
Fox, DeMar, Johnson, Murray, and Sabonis.
Keon, Monk, and Jonas off the bench.
Lets be real also mr fox hasn’t taken that next step
Larry nance could help the kings more than trey lyles
Trade some people! The slow start is becauebof Fox. It's always been like that ever since he got here but we'll take him as it is. MB Monte should have known that already. Theu need to do a better plan.
The slow start is on everyone. Fox is playing great for the season and has great numbers. What you talking about.
Carter is a 🦊 replacement. We saw how Fox took to Hali. 🦊 Doesn't take over fourth periods
Mike Brown and Christie are the problems of the team.There is no reason why Murray was so wide open in shooting a jumper in the middle of the ring unopposed and sealed the victory. Pathetic. Kings always play bad in the fourth quarter where most of the time they let other teams to catch up and win the game. Evaluate Mike Brown and Doug Christie.

If you not trying to hit the 1st apron then you aint trying to win a chip simple as that 😂

Put Crawford at the 3. He`s a great defender and that`s what the Kings need. Bring DeRozen off the bench.
LOL
yea thats wild. i do wanna see him get some burn tho cause i agree his defense is solid.
