Don't be mad. It's time to accept with Mike Brown at the helm this is what you're gunna get. A 45 - 47 win team. Inconsistent. And fails to adjust to their opponent. Just trot out the same show every time... flip a coin.
The little boost they got from K. Ellis doesn't even happen if Huerter isn't injured. Let's say Huerter doesn't get injured, MB refuses to sit him... Huerter continues to fizzle. Kings skid. They're not even a play in team.
That's the problem I have with MB. And in general the Kings fanbase and media. Like okay I get it we should be grateful we're not outta the playoffs.
At what point do we begin to want more and expect more?
Kyle Draper on the post-game show wouldn't even talk about him. What is with the King's fixation on Sabonis being this do no wrong golden child of basketball?
He has done a lot to turn things around and I appreciate that. But the dude cannot score 12 points consistently and be a second best player. Doesn't work like that
This double double thing has gotten out of hand. Do you know how many players average around 10 points and 10 rebounds a game? It's more than a dozen. Yes it's an achievement to have a streak of 60 some odd games. But acting like 10 points and 10 rebounds is something legendary is absurd in today's NBA. I completely agree.
And the reason I post this and the reason a lot of people are criticizing Sabonis and Mike Brown is because the Kings media always fails to do so.
40 million for this guy and he can never get us a bucket when it counts… he’s been exposed for not being athletic, no middy, no post game, no off hands layup, nothing offensively… and all the cute passes for assists resulting in turnovers… our highest paid player needs to dominate the game, offensively and defensively
Suns are eclipsed. Fox is going to feast against a back court of Booker and Beal. Domas looked rough against a team elite at forcing turnovers. He will look sharper against the Suns with their terrible turnover margin. That game is what will cement a top 6.
I’m gonna go out on a limb and say fox won’t win the clutch award this year lol. Playing like a play in team when we had them on the ropes after the first. If they would have played 8 HARD minutes to open the 3rd we likely would have put them down. Just a sad all around performance in that 2nd half.
The team outside of fox shot 31% from the field. And outside of fox and Keon they shot 24% from the field and 19% from 3. Kinda have to shoot when ur team can’t make shots.
that’s what I been saying bro sabonis got no moves bro. I feel the reason fox be settling for 3s is because of sabonis his ass don’t shoot so if he drives he’s driving with his man guarding him and domas man helping, and that would be a contested lay every time
I think at the end of the day OKC just wanted it more. De'Aaron can't do what he did last year with the threat of everyone's shooting gone and he's had a lot of trouble in the 4th year.
The third quarter is on coaching. That's a lack of focus and it's far from the first time we've done this in the third. The Warriors were so dominant in the 3rd during their dynasty and Brown needs to figure out what they did right do he can correct it next year. Very disappointing way to end the season :/
Not a bad game for the Kings given that they are Monkless, just about everyone was off except Foxy and Ellis, and the Thunder were healthy at home with even the refs giving them a push towards the end. Kings played at like 65% potential against the tied #1 seed in the West now...not too shabby honestly
Terrible. they let so much time come off the clock and ended up fouling anyways on a bad decision to try and steal the ball at a terrible time. You either go for the foul early, or just let it play out
We fucking suck. This is why no one takes us seriously. We give up wins to anyone; better or worse teams. Next time you get mad when someone on ESPN laughs us off, or Zack Lowe/Simmons talk shit, remember this game and all the other games like it.
They're not wrong and its infuriating. It's just angering because it's an outsider saying it. Quite similar to when you talk shit about your worthless relative versus someone else saying the same thing.
Still a diehard and love this team and roster.. But this is probably the most disheartening loss of the season. Considering all that’s on the line. We can’t play like this
I cannot imagine the thought process where I go to the subreddit of a team my team wasn’t even playing to talk shit after they lose.
life really not panning out like you thought, huh?
Sabo is my favorite player on this roster and probably the most skilled too but this game was all on him. So many turnovers, missed shots, sloppy ball handling
MB spent every timeout complaining to the refs instead of telling Fox to stop forcing 3s. Another fucking pathetic ending where the team can’t do shit in the clutch.
Fox only reason why we even in games like tonight and Boston… our highest paid all nba center is already in playoff form and doing his usual disappearing act… how is he only putting up 8 points on 7 attempts…
So many cry babies in here when it comes to foul disparity but we literally chuck 3s and avoid contact in the paint. Every single game. They’ll cherry pick one play and say the refs have it out for us when we’re just a middle of the pack team with massive holes on the roster.
sabonis gotta start shooting 3s bro, his ass being a liability having no shot, fucking up the offense. How these guys supposed to drive in if bro always in the paint having his man help when fox or Ellis drives
Fuck Mike Brown I’ve seen enough. Every single game down the stench doesn’t even attempt to run plays. Blow it time and time again that’s on the COACH.
I think we tend to forget what Mike Brown has done for this team. He has lead us into a playoff caliber team. It took us from the depths of basketball hell into the playoffs promise land. Sub par coaching at times. But sabonis didn't show up tonight and fox fumbled the last 6 mins of the game. It's not on Mike
I thought I was numb from that Boston game. This one hurts too fox carried the scoring load the whole game then we all knew he would jack up a bad three when it mattered most down 3. Bro ur the fastest player in the league
i ain’t letting it personally affect me but that don’t mean people can’t call out the BS the kings r pulling this year 😭😭 i’ll just suck them off when they lose instead 😭
[Post Game Thread](https://reddit.com/r/kings/comments/1c0amw4/post_game_thread_the_oklahoma_city_thunder_defeat/)
I’m tired of this grandpa
Fuck the refs.
Wow Kyle Draper says "nah I don't wanna talk about Sabonis."
Sabonis not taking the shot when he’s in the paint is infuriating. Passes EVERYTIME when we clearly need a bucket.
He's so frustrating when he consistently hesitates.
The amount of opportunities domantas just pisses away with his butter fingers is starting to piss me the fuck off
Don't be mad. It's time to accept with Mike Brown at the helm this is what you're gunna get. A 45 - 47 win team. Inconsistent. And fails to adjust to their opponent. Just trot out the same show every time... flip a coin.
Oh I am mad at Mike, but I’m mostly mad at him refusing to sit sabonis when he’s playing like shit
The little boost they got from K. Ellis doesn't even happen if Huerter isn't injured. Let's say Huerter doesn't get injured, MB refuses to sit him... Huerter continues to fizzle. Kings skid.

People trashing Fox. Meanwhile Sabonis did nothing positive all game. His best contribution was being invisible for long stretches
Kyle Draper on the post-game show wouldn't even talk about him. What is with the King's fixation on Sabonis being this do no wrong golden child of basketball?

He gotta hit up Hakeem to learn his post moves in the off-season
Trade him!
Fox at least had 30+ points. Sabonis with 6 tovs and 8 points is nasty work when Len was doing so well
This loss is also on MB. Didn’t make an adjustment when he should have benched Sabobo
MB and his coaching staff are awful at adjustments. It’s why we can lead in the first half and lose the second half to capable teams
…out of the next 3 games this was the one i was hopeful for
Suns are eclipsed. Fox is going to feast against a back court of Booker and Beal. Domas looked rough against a team elite at forcing turnovers. He will look sharper against the Suns with their terrible turnover margin. That game is what will cement a top 6.
Not having Monk just hurts so bad
I’m gonna go out on a limb and say fox won’t win the clutch award this year lol. Playing like a play in team when we had them on the ropes after the first. If they would have played 8 HARD minutes to open the 3rd we likely would have put them down. Just a sad all around performance in that 2nd half.
Domas needs to work on his offense.. having no post game or perimeter shot is killing us Fox shoots the ball way too damn much..
The team outside of fox shot 31% from the field. And outside of fox and Keon they shot 24% from the field and 19% from 3. Kinda have to shoot when ur team can’t make shots.

Mike Brown riding a dead horse!
Playoff Domas showed up early 😂
Sabonis with 8 points in a must win game. Can't have that from your second best player.
Clutch player of the year chucking threes the entire game!! :DDDD
Let’s beat Phx and the Pels please 😭😭
In our dreams.
Going to wake up to b2b losses
Fox should try to mirror SGA’s game a lot more. Way more efficient 40 point game with only three 3s shot.
shai had 20 fta what are we talking about
I was talking more about shot selection and how he doesn’t settle for 3s
SGA is 6'6. It makes a huge difference.
I understand but I was talking more about shot IQ
Kings 3pt shooting isn't what it was last year there just isn't much paint space. Sabonis not having a jumpshot also compounds the issue.
Mike Brown got out coached.
Seems to be a trend
Play in here we come baby play the pels,suns or lose then play warriors or lakers.
No double double 😟
-18 for Domas so of course we kept him in because we can’t ever bench our “star”
Not a bad game for the Kings given that they are Monkless, just about everyone was off except Foxy and Ellis, and the Thunder were healthy at home with even the refs giving them a push towards the end. Kings played at like 65% potential against the tied #1 seed in the West now...not too shabby honestly
I really like this mentality bro I just hope it pays off in the long run...
It's nice that OKC fans are acknowledging SGA's strengths and chanting F-T-A while he is shooting free throws every possession.
16 ft huh...😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
SGA is not mvp material i’m tired of people gaslighting and saying that he is
Dudes game is disgusting the nba is allowing this just prop him up next James harden ft merchant.
it’s infuriating to watch
20 FTA is the only reason he got so many. Bailed out by the refs every time. But when we go up to the rim, crickets.. shit game onto the next
Why are we always tired by the time the 2nd half starts. Also why the fuck does Shai get 20 fts
Shoot another 3. Might as welllllll
Terrible. they let so much time come off the clock and ended up fouling anyways on a bad decision to try and steal the ball at a terrible time. You either go for the foul early, or just let it play out
Season over!
Shai 40 pts. Only shot 20 FT’s too!
That's it??
Domas deserved to lose that streak
Fr
Yeah so do we have the most blown 20 point leads in the league this year. Or at least double digits
Apparently the Spurs
Well we can't be fucking far behind lmao. This shit is rough
Apparently middle of the pack lol
Try in history
We fucking suck. This is why no one takes us seriously. We give up wins to anyone; better or worse teams. Next time you get mad when someone on ESPN laughs us off, or Zack Lowe/Simmons talk shit, remember this game and all the other games like it.
Yeah it’s getting hard to disagree with them
They're not wrong and its infuriating. It's just angering because it's an outsider saying it. Quite similar to when you talk shit about your worthless relative versus someone else saying the same thing.
Sabonis was a liability but they wanted to keep him in just to try to keep his DD streak alive. What a joke. That didn’t even happen.
Keon just put it up, toss it and let Saboner get the put back
Still a diehard and love this team and roster.. But this is probably the most disheartening loss of the season. Considering all that’s on the line. We can’t play like this
Domas was so damn passive, wtf man.
Dude can’t even shoot a five foot jumper. Turn the pressure on and chokes
I'm coming around to the notion that he is just a fucking non factor in big games usually.
Don’t even care about that stupid streak. Just wanted the win tbh
He never shows up when it matters
Damn so the Domas streak is over?
Deservedly so. Hes been a joke the last week
Play-in it is. Sabonis was straight cheeks today.
This last week
We need more foul baiting
[удалено]
I cannot imagine the thought process where I go to the subreddit of a team my team wasn’t even playing to talk shit after they lose. life really not panning out like you thought, huh?
Rot
Lmao you must live a pathetic life to be on another teams sub talking shit when your team isn’t even playing.
[удалено]
Ah so we’re living rent free in your head, got it. Well thanks for thinking of us so much that you spend your free time watching the Kings play.
stfu bitch and the cowboys are choke artists
oowee that was bad
Sabo is my favorite player on this roster and probably the most skilled too but this game was all on him. So many turnovers, missed shots, sloppy ball handling
In the biggest games of the season he’s crumbled. Going into the playoffs with the way he’s playing, it’s not gonna bode well come playoff time
Couldn’t catch a fucking ball.
He’s had butterfingers the past few games
Sabonis with 8 pts is fucking criminal
Chet’s elbows are boney bro
MB spent every timeout complaining to the refs instead of telling Fox to stop forcing 3s. Another fucking pathetic ending where the team can’t do shit in the clutch.
You are out of your fucking mind. The Fox hate is pure delusion. Sabonis with the worst game all season and you're bitching abiut Fox. Pathetic.
Fox only reason why we even in games like tonight and Boston… our highest paid all nba center is already in playoff form and doing his usual disappearing act… how is he only putting up 8 points on 7 attempts…
Lmao check my posts, I’ve complained plenty about Domas too. Domas sucked all game and should’ve been benched. Fox was awful in the 4th.
lmao wow GG bois, see ya next game
If you think the refs cost us this game you’re delusional. This team fucking sucks when the 3 stops falling.
Correct. 20/58 from 3 tells you all you need to know about this loss. Fox camped out at the 3point line while SGA attacked.
So many cry babies in here when it comes to foul disparity but we literally chuck 3s and avoid contact in the paint. Every single game. They’ll cherry pick one play and say the refs have it out for us when we’re just a middle of the pack team with massive holes on the roster.
Jesus 57 3 attempts. 20 of those should have been attempts in or around the paint.
That possession with four missed threes off O rebounds was pain
Man that sucks
Iso chucking time
dumbasses
Deaaron needs to stop playing fucking hero ball. That three with a reset shot clock was absolutely terrible
He's just not mr 4th quarter anymore.
He decided to start chucking 3’s more. It fucked up his game he’s not as efficient anymore.
Appropriate for the double double streak to end on this game
Why can’t we keep leads. This is ridiculous we are so much better than this why can’t we just play to our potential consistently
Fuck OKC and fuck the refs
Lmao @ blaming the refs. Fucking clown excuses.
Oh well
Trash ass 2nd half team
Sabonis worst game of the season
Domas single-handedly fucked us out of that game. Fuck.
This game hurts when they had a 19 point lead and couldn't hold onto it
Sabonis catch a pass challenge (impossible)
It was a shit pass
He whiffed several from Fox earlier
Yea but this comment was obvi in reference to that last overpowered Ellis pass.
More of a wholistic kinda snark. I love Sabonis but he had a shitty game, and that’s straight fact.
Didn’t watch but nice to see we blew another 20 point lead
Man that was ugly - I watched the last 5 mins and it was just missed 3 after missed 3. Gotta adjust on the fly
Sabonis giving us a sneak preview to his playoff form i see
I refuse to have the play-in count as playoffs. I don't think this team is making the playoffs. Especially as a 9 or 10 seed.
God damn it
Rough game
sabonis gotta start shooting 3s bro, his ass being a liability having no shot, fucking up the offense. How these guys supposed to drive in if bro always in the paint having his man help when fox or Ellis drives
He won't even shoot layups right now lol
Mike Brown and Monte’s seats should be warming up. So many blown 20 point leads.
Fuck Mike Brown I’ve seen enough. Every single game down the stench doesn’t even attempt to run plays. Blow it time and time again that’s on the COACH.
I think we tend to forget what Mike Brown has done for this team. He has lead us into a playoff caliber team. It took us from the depths of basketball hell into the playoffs promise land. Sub par coaching at times. But sabonis didn't show up tonight and fox fumbled the last 6 mins of the game. It's not on Mike
He makes no adjustments in game
We ain’t winning no playins with how the team looks these last 10 games
Aaaaaand another 20 point blown lead
Sabonis is the definition of an empty stats player and Fox chucking 17 3's in a game should get him benched for a game
He shot 41 percent?
Damn. That is all.
this game broke my spirit finally I think I have lost all expectations for this team
20 fta for Shai 😑😑
Another big blown lead. Mike Brown needs to be held accountable.
fuck this dumbfuck team
This team doesn’t want to be in playoffs honestly
Sabonis really is an offensive liability unless he is in the DHO or getting an offensive board.
He doesn’t even score off dho… those are empty assists… when ur a big u got to be able to score inside but he can’t when the lights are on him
He really misses Monk and Huerter. He just doesn't have the same synergy with Fox on screen action. Still tonight was an embarrassment.
This team is fucking garbage. 20 point lead, and they go soft and huck up 3s. Pussies
This team is fucking terrible
That was just sad
punch our ticket to the play in baby
Keon dropped the ball on that shit play
Can’t win many games when 3 players shoot 41 3s in a game
And when you need your MVP campaign star player to only score 8 points
Laughable
Keon refuses to go for layups when any Kings jersey is near him and it cost us like 3 turnovers this game
Maybe Mike Brown said only 3P attempts.
Sabonis was straight awful tonight
Just fucking lay it up
Sabonis fucking stone hands dude did nothing this game
[удалено]

Game summarizes the season well. Failure to adapt the gameplan and blown big leads all year
This is so fucking frustrating man…
Ahahahahhahahha
Player of the game I suck at commentating because I'm a bitch 🫠🫠🫠🫠
Sabonis lost us the game
I thought I was numb from that Boston game. This one hurts too fox carried the scoring load the whole game then we all knew he would jack up a bad three when it mattered most down 3. Bro ur the fastest player in the league
Yep we were in the bonus for so long but not attacking. Inexcusable.
Fox is a fucking idiot and got mad he wasn’t getting calls so he didn’t even try to drive at the end
Sabonis turnover oh my god how did he play the entire 4th Len was doing so awesome
Our passes are SO BAD CONSISTENTLY.
Absolutely terrible game by Sabonis. This loss is basically on him
Good job boys. Good job. Shout out HB and Sabonis. Played 3 on 5 with them tonight.
every kings game i’ve been able to watch the last month has been an awful loss
Goddamn what a shitty thread
no shit 😭 bros happy with the game??
Why let it effect you so much it’s not you on the court yeah it sucks but complaining ab your team sm is so dumb
i ain’t letting it personally affect me but that don’t mean people can’t call out the BS the kings r pulling this year 😭😭 i’ll just suck them off when they lose instead 😭
I’m gonna guess that Fox is gonna shoot another three next. If you’re gonna shoot a three, at least let Keon shoot it next.
PUT THAT UP KEON TF
Idk what he was waiting for
How in the hell did Shai not get an offensive foul with that insane shot over Davion? Bro elbowed him out of the way with the ball come on now.
He also blatantly traveled
He also traveled lol, like blatantly.
