What an absolute meltdown. Gave up wide open 3 after wide open 3. Pathetic performance tonight. Not sure why the hell monk is being asked to make plays over fox at end of the game. Or why fox continuing to settle. Sad sad game

This team needs some basketball IQ, some of the plays down the stretch were stupid, and showed poor discipline.

So tired of watching brown decide to send doubles and leave wide open shooters. It burns us game after game. 2 major meltdowns in a row, and now end the road trip on 3 game losing streak.

We are a play-in team.

2 games in a row we throw away, where is the coaching, where is the pride in the jersey.

If there is any positivity, if we get out of the playins this year, its not a given we will be playing a better team. Nobody fears the Wolves or Thunder

Well there are plenty of positives. But holy hell. That was in the bag.
Fox needs to take control of this team in the 4th. Nothing more, nothing less. It honestly looks like they're taking the Pxss with Monk handling the ball so much with Fox out there. If he is the best with the ball in his hands (HE IS NOT) then put him in the starting line-up.
The problem is Monk decimates bench units with his play making. Against starting units he needs to be an off ball SG.
Huerter should have been out there and was benched. Should never have crapped the bed when the Suns went small. Just play the exact same way you were. Don't think about it. FFS it's not hard. And Domas/Fox should be the ones telling guys and worst case the coaching staff needs to be drilling it into them.

OK. Onto the next one. The Kings will finish top 4.

The Warriors get Green back and have a trade deadline where they'll likely make a move. Lakers likely make a move and the NBA isn't allowing Lebron to miss while healthy. The Suns haven't had Beal. The Jazz are playing much better and will likely be active at the deadline armed with assets. I'm thinking we're in the play-in like I thought pre-season after essentially running it back while other teams improved.
