Game 39: Kings (19-19) @ Bulls (18-20)

We've gotten back to .500 and now we try to get back to a winning record in Chicago. Fox is back today and Keon will be moving back to the second unit.

Bit of a clunky game so far, Chicago shooting great from deep but we have a 2 point lead going into the fourth. We need to come out strong to start the fourth and put this game away.

while im against paying firsts for role players, man all we have is garbage lyles who needs to be off the team coming off the bench as over 6'7? I've been a Len proponent but he has been subpar this season

Had a rough shooting night tonight but was still +9 and was 11/23 from deep over the previous 5 games. Not saying he's untouchable by any means but I'd prefer to keep him around. Huerter and Colby are the two obvious pieces to try and move first.

First time over .500 in awhile!

Need those Huerter mins split between Carter and Keon.

Beautiful first game back for fox.

Gotta say, derozan has been solid but I do get frustrated watching him dribble the air out of the ball at the end when fox was having a hell of a game.

Still overall awesome win. Finding ways to get the job done. Doug experience has been excellent

Hard agree that Derozan can be frustrating at times. I'm not a fan of these super contested middies he pulls so often, he'll literally pull up with guys like half an inch from his chest.

Yup. And there's times hes on fire and sinks 5 of those in a row. But end of the game that wasn't the time, I think Fox has the ability to create separation and just as nice of a mid range touch.

I'll give a pass because it was Fox's first game back, but I'd like to see us go back to our best player being our closer.

Return to Sacramento Kings
