Sacramento Kings Are LEGIT & DeMar DeRozan BEST Mid-Range in NBA??

[@kingnex6234]

Finally people who actually watch these kings games and not just have lazy takes

[@Sam-n3k7b]

They called huerter and Keegan “shooters” when if they had been watching them this year, they’d know they have been struggling.

[@fds371]

​@@Sam-n3k7bya they are struggling but they are definitely shooters. Keegan is starting to pick it up as well.

[@1takefades]

@@Sam-n3k7bif you been watching , heurter is still a player teams do not leave open. Because he’s proven to be a “shooter” but defintely hasn’t been consistent but still described as a shooter. And if u been watching .. keegan definitely has been on a heater from three. What else would u call them 😂 keegan has literally broke a record from three his rookie year and last year

[@MrFlip916]

💯

[@Sam-n3k7b]

@ you realize Keegan’s rookie year isn’t this year right lol.

[@santiagotorres7296]

Rotations were the issue. Keon Ellis was getting DNPs while Colby Jones was getting minutes. Not sure if that all falls on Brown, but it was a constant and horrendous mistake.

[@jharderway2977]

He mike brown was playing Kevin Huerter 30 min a game smh

[@BrothaMan98]

It did fall on Brown because the coach is the one who decides who does and doesn't play

[@cdubya916]

Communication is key… he got bigger than the talent. Ego kills

[@anthonyhca]

Colby Jones of all people getting mins over the GOAT Keon😂

[@who-iz-joe]

And not only that .How come Brown didn’t have Monk on the starting 5 in the beginning of the season ? Never understood why huerter was getting the nod to start over monk

[@iCHiGOUZUMAK1]

Monk is a major reason this Kings team has had the progress they have had over the past ten games. Monk is still slept on but hopefully will get more recognition. Dude is averaging around 20-21ppg and shows no signs of stopping.

[@ryangregory980]

Monk is truly an upgraded JR smith

[@Valleyboi916]

💯

[@who-iz-joe]

I love his passing skills. Dude is a beast

[@DeOcampoClan]

Facts ❤

[@RittenhousesRifle]

@ryangregory980 Malik Monk is JR Smith if JR Smith wasn’t drinking Henny before the game and at halftime.

[@ryguyw1]

Put Monk in the starting lineup and having Keon being the next man off the bench playing huge minutes and BOOM…fixed it. Now we just need to get Domas some help with another big and I think we can survive the rest of the year.

[@LivinProoof]

Might be able to survive the rest of the year or even continue gathering a bunch of wins with roster as is. Instead of a backup big, need a defensive wing with length, who that will be, no clue. But we need more resources in that wing spot than the center position cuz sabonis is happy eating most of those minutes up anyways. Just a wing for matchup struggles like lebron, giannis, etc. (No one can guard giannis regardless but you get my point.)

[@gridlock489]

Kevin Huerter is also demoted to spot-minute role player, which is making a big difference

[@ryguyw1]

@ no doubt. I’d be happy with either one if the price is right. Getting a Center AND a wing at the deadline is a bit of a fantasy IMO. I’m not opposed to the John Collin’s trade but if we loose Lyles then the backup 5 is really thin. Tough decisions

[@LivinProoof]

@ Yeah huerters contract is way too expensive for the role he has dug himself into at this point, we gotta get him off the books ASAP

[@asim6998]

It was definitely Mike Brown

[@iwituazon10]

Love Chandler and Lou as analysts. Arguably two of the best and also they are very objective and they don’t hate. They talk sense and knowledge, not for show. Pure basketball knowledge!

[@ryanbloom2923]

These three are elite man!

[@beaumcguire409]

Thank you for showing love to Sacramento! We don’t get nearly enough.

[@TheStocktonSlab]

Thank you for mentioning Chris Webbers mid game. It was automatic!!! 🙌🏽

[@who-iz-joe]

I see DeMar shooting from mid range and it reminds me of C Web back in the days

[@paulcervantes9502]

Brown had something with the first beam team but scaled back the free flowing offense to focus on the defense and would absolutely scorch any chemistry benching guys games at a time for details not letting guys play through slumps etc.

[@samyoko8259]

Thanks for the coverage and showing the current Sacramento Kings roster some love.

[@turtlenecks]

The main issue as far as I can tell with Mike Brown was that his rotations were not consistent and players would often get punished for bad performances. To be fair, there were some injuries early on that played a role but there were many instances when he would for example not play Keon Ellis for an entire game.

[@samscharp3367]

I really liked Mike Brown when he was hired and how fast he turned the Kings around and making them relevant again. I was pissed when he was fired and thought the Kings were done-fer this season. But you can't argue with results and the Kings seem to have come alive. Doug Christie is an overall great guy and I think the players are playing harder for him.

[@michaelmueckjr9996]

It is mb wasn’t doing this and dc is doing that, it’s called playing keon ellis lol…it’s like magically plugging in an all defensive player that you didn’t have before

[@theyoungazn]

I mean he only payed 10 min Houston game

[@sokoolbab09]

@@theyoungaznhe rolled his ankle and left the game

[@nicehoopers]

game was heading towards houston’s way after keon got hurt. if it wasn’t for derozan getting hot, kings lose.

[@aaronjohnson6622]

Perfect! The panelists don't know what they're talking about because they don't pay close attention. I love when they don't do their homework and just read notes

[@WeAreBlessed777]

I forgot about Chandler Parsons, nice honest take by him and Lou 👍🏿

[@yurr6734]

People saying it has nothing to do with a coaching change are oblivious and don’t watch Sac play ball Since Demar got there Mike Brown completely changed the offense. The pace slowed down, the focus went to high guard screens to split the floor and get Demar in the post 1v1 which is great because he makes his shots but it got nobody else involved offensively. Keegan Murray was shooting 29% from 3 under Mike Brown and is now shooting 35% through the games with Doug Christie. The offensive pace is back to the speed it was in the Kings 22-23’ playoff season. Obviously Keon Ellis is a game changer defensively but everyone knew that and Mike Brown didn’t play him and wanted to continue forcing minutes to 29% 3 point shooting Kevin Huerter but it amazes me that so many people think they just start going 8-2 after a coaching change because they started playing Keon Ellis more let’s be real Mike Brown was the problem

[@En4cer2K9]

They all wanted to shit on Sacramento SO BAD, man. They hate that they have to talk about us in a "positive" light now

[@Jadelove14]

Doug Christie took the guys on the roof and said this fuckin beam means something to people y’all are the light of this city .no but he’s just chill, relatable and just wants the guys to have fun .

[@chinkstas2349]

If y’all just watch at least 5 Mike brown for 5 games , you’ll quickly notice it’s Mike brown

[@Valleyboi916]

Put some respect on them kings!

[@reeteshram178]

Keon Ellis is a difference maker

[@paogonzalez123456]

NGL, but there is something secular about it. Since they done the beam, it broke the 17 year curse. As corny as it sounds, the city 100% feeds off the beam and has unlocked the city. Everyone is happy when it’s lit.

[@ste.ven.87]

Starting Monk and having Ellis come off the bench. Giving Lyles time on the floor (brown must have forgot about Lyles?!) for length, versatility, and creating iso opportunities for DeRozan. Faster pace and locker room attitude adjustments. Roster isn’t entirely the same - Carter joined from the G league which created more depth but idk if Christy had a voice in that decision.

[@joeno-say5504]

Are you saying he Forgot About Trey?

[@nirvana182ify]

Mike brown was definitely the problem. Playing keon Ellis and starting monk has made a huge difference. The lineups are just much better now. Christie has a special ability to connect with players on a personal level and boost their confidence. Mike brown struggled to relate to players in a way that brought out the best in them. I follow this team closely. There was a lot going on behind the scenes. Sasha Vezenkov in a recent interview said that his conversations with Mike “weren’t honest”. He’s European, so I don’t think those were the best words to describe his feelings, but you get the jist.

[@Valleyboi916]

All of a sudden 😂😂😂😂😂

[@kaosaechao3602]

SGA is the king of midrange at the moment!

[@thankyoucisco761]

We been losing really cause our 3pt shooting has been horrible af. Missing open shots. We go games only making 7/35😂😂😂😂 it’s crazy but now we hitting a good 12-14 and that makes a difference. Our 3pt defense is still horrendous lol we also love to foul a couple 3pt shot attempts a game. A few have been and 1s…..like the infamous Ivey 4 point play to win the game😭

[@Angelito_Noreaga]

Chandler Parsons with a beard looks like Bam Margera in a parallel universe where he is sober

[@hailemhailem1320]

ok lou Williams elton brand is that dude dd mid range crazy

[@BIG-Gb916]

Mike Brown just needed to start monk

[@DanMars27]

This should have been a segment mostly about Malik Monk … missing the main factor gents

[@liluziBurt667]

00:40 WRONG! It’s 100% things DC is doing and MB didn’t do: 1. DC simplified the offense. 2. He’s giving KEON more minutes than MB ever did. Keon DNPS were hurting their chances of winning… unforgivable. 3. They are practicing less. It’s easier to play at a faster pace and hit 3s, free throws, play better defense with fresher legs.

[@s0meguy09]

i find it interesting that demar posts up, and when he does a turn around, he doesnt fade. that's why he always gets a foul call

[@Nor_CALi]

Kings another Big man C or PF . If Sabonis misses anytime we screwed .

[@pirateslifeforme]

lol funny how some say Fox is our best player but if Fox is out we’re cool. If sabonis is out we’re screwed 😂

[@silyoun]

BEAM TEAM

[@joshcope11]

Once again analysis without watching the team. Brown was not playing Keon Ellis and Doug Christie is and that’s been a huge difference maker for the Kings.

[@mr2perfect]

Fox aint no shooter 😂

[@toddpacker1015]

He’s a shooter… a bad one

[@jon-snow-GOT]

Demar DeRozan

[@YoBrand15]

I still disagree with mike brown being a "scapegoat"... he was the problem. Hes a good coach, dont get me wrong. He put the kings back on the map. But he is not right for this current team. Not gonna put my explanations here, but it is clear as day now.

[@GodsLoveBeWithYou]

He did not put the Kings on the map that same year they got sabonis Monk and huerter who were three of their five best players that season. They won despite having Mike Brown not because of him

[@erikchristensen1346]

Light the Beam!

[@DanMars27]

Mike Brown sold the fanbase a lie that Monk was a 6th man , and that Keon wasn’t ready … both huge lies

[@BigMike-Soetoro]

Give me a break! The kings are not legit for crying out loud! They ran into a team that plays inconsistent throughout the game and suck at shooting. That’s why they won not to mention they got help from the so called referees the last 3 minutes of the game. 🙄

[@rp2808]

Keep crying Mike

[@BigMike-Soetoro]

@ why would I cry? Rockets are 2nd in the west! What spot are the kings in?!? Yeah!!!! Zip it 🤫

[@daryllewing508]

Please ref stole game you saw two calls in last minute on Dillon brooks to cover point spread

[@nate666]

Nah coaching change had nothing to do with it. Kings were going to win those games either way. Sucks that Mike Brown is looking so bad now when really the players are just making it happen on their own. 😒 Remember they lost the first game against the Lakers under Christie.

[@escf]

Disagree. Mike Brown made bad decisions with line ups and who got minutes. There was also other internal issues. Mike also made things more complicated than it should be. Players playing more free and having fun now under Doug.

[@iluvugoldenblue]

some of us have been saying since last season to play keon more. play sasha more. this has been an issue for a long, long time with mike brown's rotations.

[@mmjay7078]

Don’t talk about sports ever in your life 🤡! Mike Brown never been a good coach with his inconsistent rotations and not playing the right players

[@Wystique]

How can you count first game? I heard he was the coach for just a few hours before the lakers game

[@nate666]

​@@WystiqueKings are better than the Lakers they swept them last year. Christie should have gotten them a win.
