Stern was so important to us Kings fans. Absolute legend.

Btw, the Kings better not mess this on up. You are playing for your season, but you also better make David Stern proud. Stop being trash!

With a loss it's going to be hard not to see this as close to the end of their post season wishes. Win and it's just a little crack daylight. Yeah, this is about pride if they want to win. That's all they can really play for. It's a climb from here on.

Sorta a now or never game.

This is an absolutely horrific first quarter.

Wow, way to make a statement guys!

The Grizzlies have a better young core than the Kings already.

I’m sorry but I’ve played and coached basketball for over forty years.

This team has something very wrong in the locker room and they have quit on their coach.

It’s painfully obvious.

And it seems tied to when Fox and/or Bagley are in the lineup. Which is incredibly frightening.

I’m not sure whose ego is getting bruised or whose pantries are in a wad. But seeing what is happening with Buddy I would make a large wager that he is the problem because he was moved out of the “the man” role when those two came back in.

There are a lot of things wrong in that locker room, which is crazy considering how great the chemistry was between the core guys last year.
The last few games I have noticed some weird tension between Buddy and Barnes.
I agree though, it has been when Fox and Bagley have returned. I wouldn't be surprised if we see some more trade demands soon.

At the end of the day this is something the leaders of the team need to sort out, ie Fox and Barnes.

Let the boys run like they are now in the 2nd!

Bad coaching choice, maybe a bad mix of personalities

If the Kings are going to go anywhere, this year or beyond, we need Fox to play like this every night or close to it. 27pts, 9asts, 5 stls, 2 blks

Oh great.

Well, I've noticed him and Ariza exchanging a few "pleasantries". His recent comments.....

Don't think Dedmon's asking out would have to do with Buddy though. Hopefully it's just him wanting to play more.

Once again Joseph is by far the worst player on the court. That was an awful awful signing. The offense goes to **** the second he gets on the floor. It was clear melton was outplaying the hell out of him.

Trade he and dedmon, admit we **** up but got lucky with holmes and move on.

CoJo can just rot on the bench. We’re not getting cap space anyway.
He is possibly the most cringeworthy player I’ve ever seen.
I like his effort on D, but he is also just high and low there too, it’s either a great play or a dumb one.
And on the other end of the floor, well we all know, but I think I will throw up if I see another crab back down like dribble move. Surely he knows the percentages of that coming off are so small and he excludes the rest of the players on the court other than the big that he is crab dribbling into.
As for Dedmon I don’t expect the Kings to pay to get rid of him. It’s quite simple. He wants to be traded, so his agent has a project, get another team to take him.
Otherwise ride Holmes out and see if his start continues and if it doesn’t you have someone ready to go (so to speak).

Couldnt agree more. The guy makes at least 2-3 of the dumbest passes every game as well. I'd much rather play yogi who can at least hit a 3, and has a consistent mid range. I'd even rather let James/Bogdan have cracks at playing backup pg, weve got nothing to lose it's clearly not working with cojo.

Carmichael dave tweeted a week ago that dedmon wouldnt ever see the floor again for sac. I think he will get moved without incentive, probably back to atlanta for some expiring. I just hope we somehow manage to move Joseph as well.

At least the monkey is off the back...
