No Pat Bev and no Paul George today. Going to be a game where Kawhi gets his but we just can't let the other guys beat us, no career highs for a role player today.

Game by game, we’re getting closer to the point of saying Buddy just had a good year the year before last and is a scrub. I say that as a former fan

He played really well last night and has been great today even without his shot falling, it's actually been refreshing to see.

Agreed. He may have had that amazing 3pt shooting season because people weren't expecting it, but we've all been hoping Buddy would play more winning basketball and he has been doing that. Playing more within himself.

Kings are now above .500 which I didn't expect to see again this season after falling to 5-10. This team is fun to watch and seeing Fox take over in these 4th quarters is huge for our future.

Fox is an all star.

IN the span of a few weeks Fox has put himself below the Trae/Morant convo to right in it. Consistency not talent has been the bugaboo so let’s hope it continues

Whiteside/CoJO need out of the lineup, but it’s a broken record

Guy looked composed in limited minutes. I liked what I saw from him.

Metu in the middle of the 4th was... strange.

Bagley sits out most of the second half yet again. Luke has a weird rotation going, but it seems to be working.

Fox has looked like a completely different player over the last ten or so games. He’s playing like the guy we hoped for. I hope he keeps this up because this has been fun.

Richaun has been absolutely terrific as well. He knows how to put his imprint on the game and he sticks to his skill set. I love that guy.

Despite the superlatives from the broadcasting crew I couldn’t call 1-11 from the field even with the assists/boards great

I appreciate the expanding of his game, his playmaking and defense are on a bit of an uptick this year, but his overall game still can’t support what is basically a year long shooting slump, carried off last years dip. At some point, he has to shoot sufficient enough as a shooter

He’ll get his opportunity here as IMO there is no doubt he is considered a negative contract league wide as opposed to this summer. Hopefully he breaks out at some point
