Kings are the only team I root for in the entire league beside Pacers. Been a fan since White Chocolate/Chris Weber days. White Chocolate and Chris Weber put Kings on the Map. But we're for sure better when they got Bibby

What I like the most of this winning streak is that this team knows when to push on the throttle and becoming clutch on both sides of the ball. It all started against the Mavs and becoming a really good habit in the 4th quarter.

[@frimports]

I mean isn’t it time to take the interim label off Coach Christie. He’s the coach full stop.

Why would you do that? What is the advantage of that? You're now locked in when you don't need to be and would have to pay more money. There's no advantage to doing that.

Agreed - The starting lineup was expected and made sense. Who would have thought Devin Carter would play so much so soon.

That is because Doug gets it!

[@MatthewSmith-db1ig]

He was their top draft pick & missed a lot of games due to being injured. Unsure what you mean by playing so much so soon.

@michaelbell75 what about stability. I am a Raiders fan by the way. I don't think it's right to fire Pierce and Telesco because they never really had a chance. Injuries doomed their success. They need O Line. Not gonna surprise me if he gets there job and succeed on another team.

The few ppl that think Keon need to start over Malik need are crazy. Malik isn’t going back to the bench and should’ve never been coming off the bench period.

You want a balanced lineup offensively and defensively. Sabonis, DeRozan, Fox and Keegan provide plenty of offense. Ntm, Monk can do whatever he wants when he's coming off the bench and gets close to the same amount of minutes.

[@antoniobautista6718]

I'll keep on harping about until the strings break; Kings Basketball is WINNING, TEAM basketball! You can see it throughout this streak. Proper ball movement, diverse shot selection, and hustle on both ends, especially with team rebounding! We play classic, fundamental winning basketball when we win, and that's why we have 7 straight!!!

[@furiouswolf777voodoo4]

Trading Fox would be silly at this point

[@RittenhousesRifle]

If he doesn’t sign an extension this summer then they HAVE to trade him. To lose him for nothing next summer would be the worst case scenario. If he doesn’t sign, trade him to the Spurs or Rockets and get some picks and young players back to retool.

[@MrOctober44]

Not really. No player is untradeable. I wouldnt be shopping him, but some of the Orlando trade rumors would be tough to turn down.

[@oohhsedagod6183]

We need to trade Len and Heurter for a decent big, dont need a All star big we just need a good big

[@jaimesoria991]

The kings are playing inspired basketball. What needs to be done is McNair. Assuring them that nobody is going to be traded. The kings body language and their defense had improved quite a lot. They are shooting good. They do not give up. Before if the kings trailed. Usually it was a lose. It is now a deferent ballgame. The kings can beat the Bucks who had a lousy game last night and lost. Go kings.

[@itsatrap4986]

Good overall team win but the team team is still lacking in size and a backup big man for Sabonis.

[@santosburrito2295]

You are correct sir I love that they are on a winning streak but this team can still be better, monte make some moves that makes sense

What happened to Alex len? I remember him having a couple of decent games 2 seasons ago.

[@christianguzaitis4353]

Len, 7 foot 250lbs. Sets great screens and makes the right passes. If he even tried to score a bit his defense (against other big bodies obviously shouldn’t be playing against skinny athletic bigs) would be plenty. But would be nice if he was third string

[@Lucky4Clovers]

Incredible win by the Kings. I do believe that Fox was not at 100% though. He seems a step off and even so he played very well.

We have the longest active win streak in the nba!

[@spacexdragonchicken]

Hey guys... Matt was wrong about Mike Brown. 😂

So what? Who cares? Literally NO ONE has a 100 prediction success rating in literally anything NBA related. No idea why some of You keep throwing it In his face Goodness God. Can't we wait till at least 15-20 more games? Man

​@@clytnjmsI agree I want to see how the season plays out, but Matt made a thirty minute video absolutely eviscerating the organization for firing Mike Brown and has brought up in several videos since then.

[@FranciscoGarcia_42]

The Kings didn't miss a beat, Fox shows why you don't trade a player of his caliber. Kings need to ADD to this roster

[@gjwaters]

There already is a minutes problem going on.

[@juancarlos5688]

​@@gjwatersI think minutes should be somewhat even especially if we want to keep up the pace. Rotations will help with that so we don't tire out while we tire out the opposing team. Depending on how the game goes, I think most of the 4th quarter should only be starters playing especially during clutch time.

[@Phil-S8]

Monk and Keon's contracts are too good to trade.

[@NoBody-dp3fq]

We need another Wing or true shot blocker

[@RittenhousesRifle]

Center by far is the most important. Get Walkers Kessler without trading any of the core away and you have a title contender.

[@robertpalmatier2699]

Put it in the books and send him to the line.

[@robertpalmatier2699]

I couldn't understand why they weren't winning before with this team.

[@juancarlos5688]

They weren't feeling Brown anymore , that's what I think. Cause ain't no way with the same squad we are playing great every game so far . Even when we lost to the Lakers for Doug's first game it was close and they played well. So I think they weren't happy with Brown anymore.

[@juancarlos5688]

I appreciate Brown for bringing us back up though, but I really hope the kings keep it up so Doug can be permanent head coach

[@Sanchezx22]

I don't think this would be happening with any interim coach

[@ravsinghrajput2105]

All the Kings men are Kings now, I mean all of them.... The "emperor" Doug Christie spoke

[@DanielHurtado-y5p]

Keep the Kings intact at the upcoming trade deadline, unless a trade can be made that obviously improves the team with giving up minimal must keep assets. And secondly, consider trading Fox at the end of the season, only if the deal is too good to pass up. A deal we can't refuse, e.g. acquiring two bigs that can shoot, rebound and play defense; and a couple of first round draft picks. Perhaps I'm dreaming......

[@rp2808]

Kings will only trade Fox if Fox requests to be traded… and yes, you are dreaming.

[@michaelbell75]

Hate to say I told you so, but I told you so. Anyone still upset over Brown being fired and claiming he wasn't the problem? lol Still need a coach though. Go after Kerr.

[@kevinscott9242]

Christie got away w/ playing Keon & Devin low min. Lessen DDR min & should be coming off bench. Really Keegan, Monk, DDR & even Fox all can have their minutes shaved. K.Ellis & D.Carter give them a new identity. Opponents respect the Kings stars but dont want to deal w/ K.Ellis & D.Carter perimeter D', intensity & harassing their stars all game long.

[@v.vag.8013]

Carter is still not ready for consistent 15-20 or more min. per game. In my opinion 10-15 for at least 10-15 games is better for him. I agree with the minutes shaved off from the starters. Like Fox's min, 32-33. I see a lot of the OKC games SGA plays like 30-32 min a game, does his job. If game is really tight stays for 35-37. So they stay fresh. With Carter getting more used to the team and getting better physically. Him @ 15-20min and keon 25min should be a must every game. Hey but sometimes they will also have an off night. So it doesnt really matter as long as the team is winning! :)

[@johnchampion6022]

I believe the Kings are playing better because Monk is a better point guard. Fox is really a two in a one's body. Trading Fox for a big SG + seems like the logical move given the contract situation and the makeup of the current team,

[@nfn58]

The problem is roster balance, not Fox. He was the most efficient player last night.

[@clytnjms]

Best thing that might have ever happened was seeing his team win in Boston without Him. If Kings get Fox two years ago they can literally beat anyone In the western conference including OKC. I actually think they match up with both Memphis and OKC very well.

[@marknash6398]

I really wish everyone would stop talking about Cam Johnson that’s pretty stupid Trey Lyles is better than him

[@nelsonanthoine6293]

Trey has been contributing a lot during his minutes in this streak. Hope he gets rebound credit for several of those tip-outs in a crowd of defenders that go right to a King's shooter!

[@TadasJam]

Team, coach is a bit in a trap atm. We really needed more mins for ellis in this game, bulls were so hot from 3pt. But doug is locked. He cant bench monk and risk to damage momentum. But with time it will hurt us really hard. I hope doug will find a way to try ellis at SF at least for few mins. Atm we have such a good guards squad. We are really lucky about that. Atm all we need is to trade huerter for a wing. Thats it. And that wing soesnt even need to be a star just workable 3&d player for 15-20 mins. Come on monte you can do it, it is such a low risk move..

[@kingsfan_offnight5025]

I’m glad the Kings are winning. I’m glad Doug is getting a coaching opportunity and seeing success. Im still worried about Vivek. The word is that the decision to fire Brown came from up above and perhaps Monte is wasn’t on board with it (at least at that moment). If Vivek did make the call, and it turns out to be the right call. The meddling owner gets the feather in his cap. Does he respect Monte’s decision making now? Does he think he gets to make more decisions?

So you acknowledge MB was a big problem this season, but for last season you go right back to blaming the roster construction? Who said MB wasn't the biggest problem last season as well?

[@LivinProoof]

People can be wrong. It happens bro. I'm sure you've had your fair cut of wrong takes as well.

[@TheStarsShineForYou]

@LivinProoof I'm asking a sincere question.. if MB was a big problem this year, why couldn't it be that we missed the playoffs last season because of MB? For example he DNPed Keon about 15 of 20 games leading to the allstar break, which cost a few wins imo But instead, Matt attributes the underachievement last season to roster flaws (giving MB a pass) despite acknowledging MB was a big problem this year. Doesn't really make sense

[@LivinProoof]

@@TheStarsShineForYou No I totally agree, I've been against Mike Brown for a while. But I also don't expect everyone to agree with that, or also not realize he was the issue at that time. Seeing this success without him surely makes it a lot easier. However, it should have been insanely clear that Ellis needed more playing time that was clearly Mike Brown's biggest mistake. It was incredibly stupid.

[@TheStarsShineForYou]

@@LivinProoof The media has been very pro-MB, very anti-Monte. Now that it's becoming less and less defensible how pro-MB they've been, they hold on tight to their anti-Monte narrative.

[@thatstheway2429]

Winning is never the worst thing in sports. This franchise lost a lot of games for a long time and it brought them nothing. If it turns out Christie is the right coach then it will work out.

[@GrantBriggs-h4h]

What are you talking about? Mike brown was absolutely having a negative effect on the team. Horrible rotations and stuck his ways. He’s a hell of a coach but he was making really poor choices over here that almost cost us the season.

[@Weather_Nerd]

Trade Fox, you are rebuilding. Sac won’t ever get a talent like THAT in a trade or FA. Domas DeMar and Monk aren’t carrying a team anywhere lol

[@MrOctober44]

Without Fox they're not. You say rebuild like it's easy. Who's taking the Sabonis contract?

[@gjwaters]

One problem is that carter, munk, and fox are all the same type of player. The kings could do a trade but it largely depends on for who and who wants to stay in Sac. If fox is committed to Sac then keep him, if not trade him but for who? He wants to be on a good team so this is a tuff one because the good teams would have to let go of one of their best players.

[@gjwaters]

Next game is going to be a big test. Who is going to be consistent and who is going to make the big shots and dominate? Sabonas and Murray have to contain the Milwaukee center, the rest of the team can feast like dogs.

[@LivinProoof]

Some of y'alls comprehension is mind bogglingly bad and surface level. Hes not saying "trade fox".

[@EMitchNCAB]

Trading fox 🦊 is ridiculous! Bro had been nothing but professional since entering the league!! Unless he wants to leave, give bro a team and staff that want to win! Besides management making stupid decisions; like you mentioned about the Kings lack of trade capitalization. The kings have been up and down on their decision making in my opinion. . The Kings do need to address some holes in the roster, but need to do so without losing any roster assets! They can’t ruin chemistry like you mentioned..

[@clytnjms]

If Fox gets on board with his teammates and is all in then definitely don't trade Him. When He's going on rival teams podcast and basically saying his teammates aren't good enough in an adverse time was absolutely not a good look or showing any kind of leadership. When have you once EVER hear Cade Cunningham throw his players under the bus last year when they lost 27 straight games? Or ask to be traded? Literally not once did He. I honestly don't even believe He even entertained the thought and came even close to asking for a trade. That's a REAL leader. Fox was definitely a leader two years ago and last year for the most part. But he has to buy all the way In with his teammates or they are better off without Him. No one needs a star player with one foot in and one foot out. Your either all in or your all out. PERIOD
