First game of a road trip against an already bad Pistons team that will be without Cade Cunningham. We should blow this team out but you can't be certain of anything with this team.

not watching, but this team really about to get blasted by the Pistons (down 15)?

That would set the new bar of sucktitude and something being wrong with the team. Would put Monte in an unadvantageous spot in terms of needing to do something on the trade market.

Sabonis is still the star of this team... Fox started the season great, but motor, once again my old friend, is popping up. I didn't want cinderella's shoe to come off with him. I'm still appreciative of the growth he has shown most of the year, but not on a supermax for him please.

This has to be an issue with internal leadership at this point (along with the significant holes in this team at SG and wing).

Fox inconsistency
Keegan overrated by Kings fans and inconsistent
holes abound around them

Its Domas and Monk tonight

I sincerely hope something comes out about Fox, and this isn't strictly on his lack of motor, and motivation from supermax seeping off

Motor doesn't go anywhere. Your born with it, and he's dealt with it all his career, and had dead spots in games/stretches of games all his career.

And what do you do with that as a team?

I've been supportive of McNair in general but the fact that there is deadweight on the team like Huerter/Barnes/Mitchell and reports came after weeks/months they should have already been packing...

Unless you need their salary for a trade, you have to send them packing before being onerous contracts and it being blatant they need to be gone. They need to be gone when they first become issues (or before if you really know what your doing)

Leading by 3 at the half but this game has been far from ideal.

Brown's reputation as a motivational coach might come under increased scrutiny, but as several coaches said about my sporting efforts, "You can't put in what God left out"..

He's still a very good coach IMO, in terms of performance v talent on the roster. If we had mediocre coach the team would be sizably worse IMO

Keegan's willingness to attack is night and day from last year. That and one would have been blocked last season.

Aside from Huerter/Barnes being definitively negative every breath they continue to take, and McNair continuing to be responsible for them on the team...

Nice effort from Keegan since I complained, and Fox contributed some from that period too

Sabonis with a monster triple double. 37-10-13 on 16-21 from the field.

Not the start we would have hoped for but certainly the ending we hoped for. Beam's lit.
