Kings will be in the 6-8 range
Their effort was good in this game vs. Utah it appeared to me, but the Jazz have much size & fouling was an issue, along with just getting F.G. attempts off that did not get blocked.
Exceptional game regardless outcome
It will take a certain amount of time to fit DeRozan into the team, that's what the preseason is for, I'm assuming the team will only improve.
Are the players having fun? It's supposed to be a fun game and people generally excel when they enjoy what they're doing
16 more years huh
Not worried, it’s pre-season, and they are working out the problems in the offense and defense.
Warriors fan here, I think the kings made a fantastic addition in Derozan and im curious to hear what Kings fans think about the matchup vs my warriors this season..both so far & projecting into the season?
It’s obvious we need a true center
Our defense and three point shooting has been troubling. I would say the same thing about our bench. However obviously most of our bench depth has been hurt though or unavailable. (Monk, Hueter, Lyles, McLaughlin)
I wouldnt say these pre games hit panic button, i am still sure this team can win 42-44 wins. But i am more or less sure that we can forget all those dreams about 4th seed, second round and so on. This team simply doesnt look any better then last season. Just look how gsw looks.. i dont care about 3pt %, with playing your main guys 35-36 mins you must have to find a way to win vs this uhat team.. i see all those old problems poor 3pt defense, wasted 4th q lead, struggles to score in 4th q and so on. This gave so much vibes of last year hornets, pistons or houston games.. if there wont be any seriuos changes in roster (like adding wing/wings) this team will fight for playin at best. Sure season is long there will be good streaks i am sure but in general it doesnt look that team made a real breakthrouh. To be honest i am starting to think kings are step by step becoming like last years bulls, good players but not getting any better but also not bad enough to tank.
We need one more starting player. Cant wait for the season to start. Let’s go kings
Our problem is in defense, until we bring players in trade who play defense, we will be a bottom team.
This is nothing like I thought it was going to be like. It is scary.
We 4 in 0 if are shots were falling
They are not a well rounded complete team too many holes in the main guys games
It’s pre season. Calm down 😂 everything’s fine! 😅
As you always say I'm not going to tell fans how to fan BUT it means absolutely NOTHING Man. Preseason means absolutely NOTHING.
This team is going to be frothing at the mouth come start of the season.
Pre season means literally and absolutely NOTHING unless your the 16th guy on the bench looking for a roster spot. Seasoned vets aren't going to go that extra mile to win a pre season game when it means nothing.
Keon Ellis again with the absolute no offense. Huge liability
