Would be good to see Fox get a start. Not sure if he will or not.
I’m able to watch this game so I’m pumped.
Will be interesting how Randolph is used and how he and Willie work together.
If Fox is in the starting line up I would have liked to see Skal in there as well and run, run, run.

Seeing an unfortunate pattern of getting picked apart on the pick and roll. Bigs are doing a decent job helping the guard but furthest defender from the ball needs to discourage the roll (assuming that’s the strategy). Then guard attacks off the ball screen and guys are sucked into the lane leaving a wide open 3.

No Smith tonight? I missed the first 7 minutes.

I think he’s out because of his knee. Jason Jones said, “Kings fans are like: Lonzo, CP3, and DSJ all fear Fox.” LOL accurate.

Overall a pretty poor first half.
Thank god for Hill. He really steadied the ship.
Our pick and roll D is ridiculously bad, actually our overall team D is quite poor.
You can really tell there isn’t much chemistry with our guys yet. It will take a while, but it will come.
Fox really needs to work on his shooting, they are giving him the shot and you can tell he doesn’t want to take 3s. Other than that though he has been aggressive which has been good.
I expect us to come out and get the W in the second half.

We faced some adversity similar to last night. Terrible call during an official review, but the guys pressed on. Big team win on the road. It doesn't matter who they play. Every game they have to make strides. That's exactly what they did tonight.
HUGE offensive rebound by Buddy with 30 seconds left. It's nice to see him contribute in other ways besides shooting. It's helpful to have Z-Bo who is a problem on the block. George Hill, this guy is the perfect point guard for this team in this season. You can tell when he and Fox were on the floor at the same time, the defensive pressure intensified. Nice win, kings!

Fox’ impact is just everything. I trust him with the ball already.
More than I ever did with Cousins or Tyreke

De'Aaron Fox had a poor shooting night, but what speaks louder to me are those 10 assists. His shot will come with experience. How to get the ball in positions that allow you to effectively get it to your teammates is a tougher skill to develop.

I'm liking the hustle that Joerger has them playing with right now. Bodes well for the future on defense. Fox has some serious potential as a potential stopper on D. Have to love that. And, uh, how about getting Fox and Buddy some serious court time together coach?

Good win.
The one thing that is obvious and we all knew it was going to be like it, but boy is there a minutes crunch here and it is only going to get worse.
KK shouldn't be getting many minutes at all to be honest, his 21 minutes should have been max 10, and the 11 extra should have gone to Skal who was playing well.
I didn't like how we put the ball into Randolph late in the game, he is a good scorer down there, however we seemed stagnant.
