Last game at home before heading out for a three game road trip. Need to handle business tonight and pick up the win.

Huerter just went down with what looks like a possible broken wrist? Didn't look good.

Good use of the bench in the first half....this will not be easy.

Fox needs to stop these turnovers

Goes from bad to worse, this is really poor from Fox and Barnes. This team needs some gritty tough players.

I don't know if our defensive scheme is a hard no middle rule or what but our perimeter defenders always shade the ballhandler off middle side and just allow them a drive right to the basket. It's a foul or bucket like 90% of the time it feels like. Square up and stay in front.

Fox having a real stinker, there have been too many of late

He's had some turnovers but I'd hardly call an efficient 19/5/9 with 3 steals and block a stinker...

These refs are so trash

Player of Fox's status should exert more control and dominate. Efficient isn't good enough for a Super Max player.

Fox has also not gotten a whistle at all tonight. Only 2 FTAs with lots of contact on some of his drives.

Took an extra 5 minutes but looking like the beam will be lit tonight.

Ya I'm not sure this is the night for kings fans to jump on him.
23-10-7 with 3 steals. 50% from field, 4/7 from 3.

He probably got 4 non calls that the refs easily missed.

Yeah, I get he turned the ball over quite a but tonight but other than that he played a pretty good game. There's not any one guy that sticks out to me that had a stinker tonight. Memphis just hit a ton of threes and the whistle played into their favor with how physical they play. We are definitely going to need to figure out the physicality part if tonight and the Knicks game says anything.

Keon getting minutes over Huerter makes us a much more physical team.

I just want Barnes and Huerter gone. Give me any 3&d forward in Barnes spot, and Keon in Huerters and I think we can stay in physical games.

I'll just say he coulda easily got 3-5 more foul calls.

If he finishes with 28-10-7-3 while shooting over 50% what more are you expecting?

He didn't get the calls tonight and it sucks. But they will come

How the hell has Domas gotten me to the point where I see a 25/18/5 stat line and have no reaction beyond "well, that's continuing as normal?"

Unreal, unreal player.

have to hold my tongue on Keegan and his bad offense, but this team absolutely needs to keep Monk

shouldn't take that for Keon to start, there is loyalty to players and then there is not reacting to what a season is telling you as a coach
