Kings (45-33) @ Thunder (53-25)
Early start today in OKC who will be with SGA tonight. A win would be huge for us but is a tough ask.

Super hot start from deep. Need to pick the defense up since I find that really hard to be sustainable.

Good game so far. I really have no fear at all versus Timberwolves or Thunder, so just getting in the playoffs is big if we avoid Denver

As a Domas fan he’s really had his worst stretch of the season recently (though he’s entitled and still having a nba.com top 6 mvp season). Good thing he’s not needed tonight so far
The guards. Fox bringing it. Love seeing this from Keon. Davion’s presence when factoring in defense has really equaled Monks almost recently

With Keon becoming a revelation (and one that many of us believed in), does the threat of losing Monk sting a little less if Huerter can fill his bench role?

?? Huerter IMO isn’t as good as Monk, if that’s what you mean. I don’t see Huerter filling becoming a lead 6thmoy type. I’d settle for him just being solid in any role. I enjoy seeing Daviin’s improvement though

Huerter wasn't that good last year, and has regressed this year. He really does not defend, and falls short of ever being an all round player. We need a wing and a 4 to repace Barnes

Monk is a much better playmaker but I do think Huerter would look a lot different in a reserve role. And I'm not saying he'd be as good as Monk is in the role but if Monk does end up walking then it could be a whole lot worse than having Huerter as the backup 2 in my opinion.

I think you might be letting his playoff performance cloud what he did in the regular season last year. He averaged an efficient 15ppg on 40% from deep, that is valuable especially when we're talking about a reserve role. I agree we need to replace Barnes and if takes Huerter to do it then it is what it is but I think it's really being undervalued what he could provide off the bench because of his frustrating performance this year.

we are letting them back in this one, this has happened too often this year.

Sabonis and Barnes killing us.
Probably sabonis first stretch as a King outside the playoffs where he's had a few bad weeks of basketball.

I'd prefer to just roll with Colby and Mitchell off the bench.
Priority this offseason is to get rid of Huerter and Barnes. That alone makes us a top 10 defensive team

When Barnes is bad, it's hard to watch. We really need to find an upgrade to him next year.

Impressive for Brown to realize and quickly bench them both 9-0 for sac

About 75% of the time. He's just not a fit for this team.

Well we need Fox to bring us home in this one, it seems him and Keon are the only ones who have it going.
