In that 3rd quarter the light bulb went on over Waltons head that Lawson/Koufos are just a collective fail in pick and roll defense. That's when the game started to really change. They just ate the Kings alive with the Russell pnr game.
Season defining loss 10 games in? Let's pump the breaks. We just got collison back

Look at the games coming up. The way the schedule is/has been it makes it very tough and possibly likely the Kings get down under .500 by more than a few games. They only picked up 1 win on the road trip from hell which now puts a ton of pressure to win the winnable home games. Things could still click and they perform well against better competition, but the west right now looks like it's going to be nail biter at that 7-10 spot and anything much under .500 might not cut it. That's not even mentioning how fragile this teams core is considering the last few seasons so with a team like this confidence can disappear quickly. There isn't much rope at this point.
