Kings up big early so Gentry goes to the tank bullpen. Early minutes for Josh Jackson

I really like the way Donte and Sabonis play together. Especially considering they have only been together for about a month, both learning a new situation.

I can imagine a Fox - Donte - 40% 3pt shooter - Barnes - Sabonis lineup being very successful. Instead of watching Holiday miss wide open 3s. Replacing him with a good shooter is going to be absolutely massive.

Lol never change Gentry or Kings. Went up 20 in the 2nd quarter and just completely gave the game away. Sure the refs were trash in the 3rd, but any good team stuffs that garbage quickly.

Meanwhile we have DDV & Holiday continuing to chuck bad 3s in the 4th quarter.

Holiday is awful. Id rather let Lamb play. This guy literally showed up in Sac as a solid 3&D player, and now hes completely useless.

Thank you Kings for this 2nd half. Not gonna lie they scared me in the 1st half.

Same. Saw the score in the 1st and thought to myself "sonuvabitch". Gentry came through big time here. Sole possession of #6 with SAS's win.

Key games remaining: @IND, @ORL, 2x @HOU

Tankathon's got us with the 5th hardest remaining schedule of all teams. Other teams around us:
- SAS is 21st
- IND is 16th
- NYK is 12th
- POR is 30th (!!!)

Also big for the ones who thought NY could catch us. 5 games behind in the loss column with 15 to go. I'm not sure the Kings win 5 more games, so that pretty much solidifies that.

I'm most scared of Portland catching us. Did you see the roster they put out there tonight? They are 100% making sure they don't win another game. Right now looking like somewhere between 5-7. Dropping to 7 really hampers our top 4 lottery odds.

If Monte had some sense he would shut Fox/Sabonis down the rest of the season and make sure we lose out and catch 5th. Hell we are only 1 loss behind OKC and with Shai back and them having 2 games vs Portland we could honestly catch them.

why is Fox playing 40 minutes a game?

The organization needs to step in when Gentry still thinks he has a shot at keeping the job to end the season on a winning note

There has to be case load from management

Management is smiling ear to ear watching Fox regain some trade value back.
