Really poor tonight, Walton must be on his last legs

Hield is a scrub

2-10 / 1/8 from 3 isn’t a bad game, it’s what he’s become

Only question is if a better coach will turn things around for him

I think so. He needs structure. Playing for thibs, pop, stevens, spolstra would do wonders for the guy

What a frustrating team. Bags, Jeffries, and Joseph are only ones bringing it tonight. Bjelica on offense but defensively he's unplayable for us.

This is one of the worst defensive teams I've ever watched. They are clueless on that end of the court.

I cannot stand whiteside. I'd rather sign Jason Thompson or Carl Landry and watch one of them play. He's absolutely awful

Walton made it past January and we're seeing why he shouldn't have. He's destroying the momentum Fox and Haliburton built.

The fact hes still the coach is either leading me to believe that Monte is blind, or hes being handcuffed by a cheap owner.

He just signed a lucrative 4 year deal, and the team is already paying for two GMs for several years

Covid is hitting the teams revenue

I see the circumstances around keeping him until now. As of today, if they really wanted to win they could fire him and let gentry coach. If the goal is to tank he will remain

The issue is his version of tanking hampers the value of the pieces you'd be looking at as building blocks or major trade bait. They're cutting off their nose to spite their face.

0-5 homestand. Grant it not the easiest 5 games but definitely some winnable games in there.

The Cojo, Whiteside lineups are simply unwatchable.

At this point it's impressive how quickly and thoroughly Joseph, Dedmon, and Ariza all fell off a cliff to be massive free agent busts despite their relatively modest contracts. No better summation of free agency for all non-destination markets that those three all sucked and then Holmes, who signed after all the dust settled, ended up being one of the best value signings in the league.

If you combine it with the 4-0 stretch where the Kings were winning while guys like Jamal Murray, Jaylen Brown, and Paul George sat, it's not too much a distortion of how they've been playing. That's just the NBA in 2021 where sometimes you benefit from it and sometimes you're missing starters or playing the Heat in one of their few games at full strength.
