I asked De’Aaron Fox how Coach Mike Brown’s message is being received.

“We gotta go out there and execute the plan…if you’re just thinking about it and not doing it, at the end of the day that means nothing”

I’m almost certain change is coming SOON. I think it will be here before 2025. Big enough sample size. It’s not working, there are some BIG decisions to make.

This would be my Kings starting lineup tomorrow. 5 dudes confident & willing to make a play.

Fox
DeRozan
Sabonis
Monk
Crowder (would think about Isaac Jones but need Jae’s spacing)

If you can’t get stops anyway, put out as many scorers as you can and see what happens.

Malik Monk as a starter won’t fix all the Kings’ issues. But right now they aren’t good enough to worry about anything other than putting themselves in the best position to win games from tip-off.

Malik does that.

DeMar DeRozan out again vs. the Timberwolves. I’d imagine De’Aaron will see doubles, a very motivated Anthony Edwards, and defense sagging off to prevent drives.

The rest of the team better eat their Wheaties.

Sacramento Kings are nearing a deal with Jae Crowder, per Shams

We talked about this for an hour on yesterday’s show. SACRAMENTO WE DID IT 🔥💯

The Kings had an opportunity to at least hang their hats on beating a top team in the West, and I do think the effort was there.

Unfortunately that might make the loss even worse.

De’Aaron Fox GOING OFF the last 2 nights. This Kings team is nowhere near a finished product.

- Lyles offensive return 💯
- McLaughlin, O Rob and Isaac Jones “found money” candidates 💰
- Huerter confidence up ⬆️

DeMar & Malik return, the evolution will be televised 🔥

These TikTok dads make these runs look easy, but I know they dying like me with these heavy ahh toddlers 😩

Heartbreaking loss for the Kings. But more importantly De’Aaron Fox just went toe to toe with the NBA’s golden boy, that means something.

The typical thinking when you face a team that only has one legit scoring threat is to force the ball out of their hands.

But the real play is to let them cook and not allow secondary players to get confidence. That’s what the T-Wolves have done tonight with De’Aaron Fox.

Netflix glitching already, if any of y’all watched that Love Is Blind live reunion a couple seasons ago, you know this could be a disaster 😭

Mike Brown asked questions about Kings’ 3-point shooting woes, said they’re getting a lot of the same looks from year 1 and year 2, but they could get some easier looks from sprays.

Ultimately he feels like they’re not going to panic and change things 11 games into the season.
