1. This loss probably locks the kings into mediocrity 11-12 is probably where they finish they’re horrendous on d and the o goes cold at the wrong time Vivek needs to face facts this team needs a massive reset and should be undergoing a rebuild and major overhaul of both players and front office

2. Bunch of underachievers! I'd rather see them go back to not even being competitive instead of ripping our hearts out every night. The team is going nowhere.

3. Time for some trades

4. Playing Cody jones instead of Doug was stupidly on Mike part

5. Mike Brown

6. Ugh…. That’s all I have to say..😔

7. What a bunch of sour pusses, up too late, adding the first handful of comments here. Like the first two close games of the year and the close loss to Wemby, this, after the first quarter was a hard-fought, exciting game. The fans got their moneys worth. Enjoy the game and the effort!
   The Western Division of the NBA is the strongest it has ever been, great competition. Enjoy the games, be glad we have a cohesive team with heart… and recognize that if Keagan had been available to cover Aaron Gordon and Jamal Murray and get a handful of rebounds, the Kings would have won.

8. Coach challenging Fox to step it up without being forced into it by a verbal assault,he’s failing as of tonight by the way they started the game.Mentally he’s not a Jalyn Brown or even a JA MORANT and that’s fine but McNair needs to acquire a leader to lead this team.And Denver decided to attack Sabonis to take the game when it counted.Offensively he’s great but defensively he’s at the bottom.He can score 24 but he’s gonna give up 26.Playing hard is fine but detail is one of his weaknesses.You focus too much on his offense and don’t acknowledge those 6 consecutive made shots to end the game were all with him involved.It’s never gonna change till a big is acquired.

9. Same Ole kings do so good and when the 3rd and 4th comes they fold

10. Idk Matt. A lot of times this season has been the old kangz of being up and the losing it to n the 3rd/4th quarter. That’s been the convo before this lil win streak

11. And I don’t like making excuses for a loss but today it seemed like in the beginning they felt like they needed keegan. Then they woke up. And can’t really dwell on paint points when u don’t have keegan , and even the length of heurter. Today is a testimony of how important keegan is on this team

12. A third of the season in and people are crying to blow this team up. Didnt have Murray, Huerter, or Lyles and still only lost by 1 in a rollercoaster game to the current 5th seed. A positive record to end the year really changes the look of the future. 6 teams are separated by .5-1 game between playoff contention & play-in with plenty of season left. If this team can go 4-2 in the last 6 games of this month, they'll be right there in the playoff hunt.

    The last 4 minutes of the game were rough and the players need to talk to each other on defense. That last Jokic 3 should never have been allowed to happen, sure he was 0-5 at that point but the man is still shooting it at 51% for the season in another MVP caliber season and he was left wide open after setting a screen. Disrespectful.

13. Monte and Vivek need to come watch these games to fully open their eyes and realize and say hey this what the Kings lack in, we need more wings and size." If they want to keep this team alive and going it's time to start making some serious trades even if it means going into the luxury tax.

14. Matt exaggerating about Ellis 62, 63, lastly 64 on his ballet tip toes 🤣🤣🤣🤣

15. im actually kinda confident in the following warriors match up, they're just as bad as the kings

16. The media does a disservice by constantly protecting the coach. He’s the one that decided to take everything that worked in 2022 and throw it out the window

17. When will you do the Q&A Podcast?

18. Lol I saw u in the arena tonight when I was in the line for popcorn. You are tall asf my man lol

19. I believe it’s the coach

20. This team needs a wing and a big that can play 10-14 minutes a night for one it will help because trading for someone would mean mike brown will slowly build a steady rotation

21. They better beat the Lakers twice coming up

22. need to trade for upgrade solid line up

23. I bet you finney smith gets traded for u 2-3 second round picks by the end of this month

24. Devin carter will bring this attention to detail that mike is talking about

25. Trade for cam and send Derozan to the bench he doesn’t fit or spread the floor and the bench needs scoring. Denver left him wide open on that last play boy a man in sight

26. Its getting to absurd level when we talk about ways this found to loose games. 29-14 by bench points and den is considering having worst bench. And it wasnt like their bench outscored ours. Its was their bench outscoring ellis.. kings has 1 playin-playoff bench player. One. Few bad team reserves and some g-league material. And yet they are not first team to make a trade..
    And dont forget that now we have 2 clutch players but somehow we manage to loose more 4th q's then last year. At least we can "enjoy" derozan def for 35 mins now..
    I am really getting angry seeing that owner and manager seems happy just to have 0.500 team.. there are massive holes like no backup playin-playoff wing and bigman. Its not like you need to spend 5 1st round picks to inprove that..
    Just look for what price gsw got shroeder.. its absurd.
    Sorry for rant. But i just dont get it.

27. Going to the lakers games this week while I’m in town for the holidays. I’m bringing that winning energy into the buildingggggg 🎉
