Its annoying and embarrassing enough they were making threads about a team who literally had no practice in the t/t forum

You might want to follow the spurs if your just going to annoyingly deride the teams core as is

This team will take year(s) to assess, and since the Fox led team already widdled down the easy part of the teams schedule, and a coach who might(?) need replacement still isn’t playing the juggernaut lineup of monk/keon at the head which led in part to the moves made, we might not see immediate dividends


Lol. How passive aggressive of you congrats.

Lets be honest, we went down to the wire with a 12 win team. Keon is amazing, Keegan is amazing, those guys play both sides. Sabonis is an ox, but that's about the end of it. JV is a solid backup center.

Monk/lavine are pretty much the same player. Demar for his clutch heroics kills us defensively the entire game. Our rookie currently looks like he doesnt belong in the league. Our draft pick is owed to Atlanta, another swap to the spurs.

I can't help you if you can't see how inherently flawed this team is. Barely coming back to beat the pelicans isn't changing that. Maybe we trade demar for a stud 3&D forward, allow keon to start, and Lavine takes over as the starting pg shifting monk back to his proper spot. Then we have a short 3 year run fighting for play-ins, but we still don't have a #1 option and 1 isn't falling into our laps.

Im a kings fan thru good and bad. Been one since I was 5 years old. Nothing will change that. And you can hate on fox all you want, but the next 4 years will show you are wrong as always.

As if I don't want this team to prove me wrong and win the next 30 in a row. Im just realistic. Team is flawed, no easy fix, bunch of iso guys with sabonis, and 2 defenders.

Always happy with a win as well but excuse me for not being excited about a team fighting back from down 20 and going down to the wire against a team 2-8 in their last 10 and in dead last in the conference standings...

I mean, you might want to wait to make that same point you're trying to make. The team SA just lost by one possession to beat us by 20 and some of that was made up in garbage time too. If our team is going to take some time to assess, does the same not go for San Antonio who is even a much younger team?

Not trying to debate but we were all yelling for Fox/Keon to be the starters with Monk returning to a 6 man role but you were the one to push back against that...


Yes it goes for San Antonio

It goes for both teams

The guys replying spastically after a few games isn’t called for

They will both take years to assess

You have posters annoyingly making proclamations about a team after 1-2 games with no practice time who aren’t contributing

I wanted Monk/Keon (with Fox traded) the this tine (well, since Keon has improved to the level he has)

Keegan is a one way player on a lot of nights and on balance Zach/Monk/even DeMar in a role make as much or more impact, but hopefully Keegan grows a pair and becomes consistent.

The roster, which was built by better minds than you (hence why they are where they are) has a vision and it will take time to sort out

Monk/Keon/Lavine/Keegan/Domas with Demar featured as a sixth man and LaRavia/Val/Devin need reps and time

They don’t need you in your Fox feelings posting ridiculous stuff here and on the t/t board after a couple games, trollishly when for all intents and purposes they are beginning preseason. The threads don’t need your negativity and I told you sos, maybe the Spurs would be easier for you to watch
