Why Sacramento Kings Are HEATING UP With New Coach!!

[@Jadelove14]

The thing about Doug is that he loves us and hates everyone else .he’s our legend , he bleeds purple and always has

[@RittenhousesRifle]

Only true Kings fans know all of Thug Christie’s defense of the Kings, their players and fans over his many years in Sac.

[@Kukuklock321]

Sabonis is literally shooting 50% from 3 in the last 10 games 😂

[@santiagotorres7296]

We all know the media doesn't watch the Kings. Remember they were the third seed and got 0 coverage.

[@toddpacker1015]

Mike Brown is Voldemort at this point

[@mikelike3877]

Averaging 17rpg too ballin

[@LM10DV7Barca12]

They leaving him open too

[@wuspoppinmayne4364]

Mike Brown always going to be loved in Sacramento! He brought something to Sacramento that we hadn't had in decades!

[@diegosedillo3074]

If Sabonis doesn’t make the all star game imma riot. Historic numbers

[@cocomo111]

The main reason why the team played worse under Mike Brown is because MB was messing with the rotation. It's been said in a couple of interviews after the firing that they don't feel as pressured anymore bc Doug lets them play it out. Unlike MB who would immediately yank a guy off the court and DNP him the next few games. Secondly, the Kings are doing better bc Keon Ellis has a huge impact on the lineup. MB refused to play Keon, even though he brought the defense that he's been preaching.

[@gus6021]

Yup. Mike Brown was giving minutes to literally everyone. DC is not even playing Alex Len, no disrespect to any player but you got put your trust in the right hands and that's why Keon is getting a lot more minutes now.

[@icee6319]

Doug has been there shows he cares about the players and motivates them. That is what is pushing the team especially on defense and they don’t give up. They are going to be scary 💪🏼💯

[@burningknuckle26]

He shows love and simplifies everything, he doesn't over practice and gives them enough rest and keeps legs fresh. The belief, the motivation was much needed. a breath of fresh air! Plays keon more too and dev carter

[@Optimism211]

They aren’t practicing as much, saving their legs and Monk spoke to the Kings simplifying their offense as well as receiving more freedom to be creative offensively.

[@nathan2000100]

Keon Ellis is that glue guy you want on the team, no ego and just hustles every play. Him starting / 30 mins is a missing piece

[@burningknuckle26]

Too many positives that he gives us to not playing him that much. he effects the game big time, his defense, rebounding, 3s, pressure all make a difference!

[@mikelike3877]

We still didn’t start him which is weird. Numbers prove he needs to start, one of monk or Deebo should come off the bench most likely monk

[@kingssuk2621]

Keon Ellis playing over 20 mins a night, brown refused to play him. Huerter mins way down. Rotations and just a vibe. Brown was wayy too technical. The offense wasn’t moving well at all. Devin Carter also in the rotation.

[@Weather_Nerd]

Also not that it began right away but when Keegan came back from missing a game or two he’s been shooting over 50% from 3. Absolutely key to many of the wins. Fox and Domas have done what they should all season, would say mostly DeMar too but everyone else has been iffy and it feels like ALL are coming together and playing their best at the right/same time. Carter is a huge addition with the lackluster bench you’re right. Huerter even when not shooting well has actually defended well at times. Strange thing is Kings by net rating etc were a much better team than they showed all season but seemed gassed and unfocused to close out games and that has changed too. I imagine so many games we lost were close

[@kingssuk2621]

@ that’s true also our bench has dramatically been worse even with Malik on it. Keegan and huerter were both near 40% and them shooting only 30% made us lose a ton of close games.

[@verdanturft0wn]

Ellis island effect

[@dollacb7]

Lou William is speaking facts

[@TheBestCASE]

"Them sitting at a 9 seed, that doesn't get you two guys in" - Literally last season Kings sitting safely at 5 all season, got ZERO All Stars, meanwhile LA Lakers.... in 9th... got TWO All Stars lol I love when we pick and choose when team record/seeding comes into play for the individual accolades. If it's a franchise or player ya love, who cares but if not, we'll find reasons for ya not to get it. Also we acting like 9th seed means something this year, look at the difference in games between 5th and 12th lol we're talking games on one hand differences. Shit I best not see anyone from the Suns be an All Star or Spurs with this logic.

[@LivinProoof]

Well said. Absolutely toxic and jaded behavior. They think we are stupid it's hilarious.

[@pirateslifeforme]

lol last season lakers were sitting at 9 but miraculously had 2 players make the all star

[@burningknuckle26]

Mike Brown punching the air rn

[@Weather_Nerd]

Domas 100% will be all star

[@klipppscheme]

Very well said Lou 💯💯💯🫡🫡🫡💯💯💯

[@Nor_CALi]

I never understood why they went away from fast pace basketball . Literally got the fastest man in the league on the team and we are playing half court slow set plays using the shot clock . instead of pushing fast breaks and running .

[@iub_t]

🙄. If he’s 1, Fox and Derozan isn’t a solid 2 and 3? I’m not calling them a Big 3 but that’s a solid 3. We need a back up big that can rebound and defend the rim. Couple of more shooter wouldn’t hurt. This team is making the playoffs if they can stay healthy

[@Valleyboi916]

Media stay hating 😂

[@donzsky4432]

any bigs in mind that wont ruin chemistry we have right now?

[@LivinProoof]

I'd call it a big three. The only reason they aren't called a big 3 more often is because it's sac and media likes to downplay and undervalue everything about this team. If fox was on the Lakers he'd be an all star every year.

[@Potbelly76]

Mike Brown would consistently complain post-game that the team wasn't running his sets in the first few possessions. Seems like there was a clear disconnect

[@davonchism5975]

The important of an ex nba player take on a situation. Lou said it perfectly, brown is not a bad coach, just wasn’t the right coach for this team

[@DonGe0-42]

And Sabonis nor Fox are popular cuz they're in Sac Town. It's a shame.☹️

[@grantoreno916]

The Kings were top 6 last season by All-Star break & had no representation at All-Star weekend so clearly winning isn’t a priority when it comes to who makes it. They literally were the only team in both conferences that were in the playoff picture that didn’t have a single All-Star, that’s a travesty…

[@Dipset415]

After losing to the lakers twice Mike brown should have been fired💯lakers are trash

[@94Que]

He lost 4 times to the Lakers

[@nate666]

NBA teams should change coach like if the team goes on a three game losing streak 😄 Head coach needs to become the assistant. Just rotate it like that.

[@edbrewington3]

As a Kings fan, I don't want Fox or Sabonis to go to All-Star weekend. I'd rather have them rest and get healthy for the 2nd half of the season. The All-Star game is a joke and we all know it. Plus, players don't get enough time to take a break and rest. Not worth it.

[@mellarx1277]

Mike Brown is a "great coach", really? He cannot win it with LBJ then, some Lue won it all the following year. So, what does that tell you? Man your description of a "great coach" is low.

[@thankyoucisco761]

Crazy how seeding only matters for us😂 last season LA Lakers were 9th and both AD and Bron made it😂 I mean Bron gonna get the popular starting vote but crazy that AD got it over sabonis. Granted tho LA made it further that year but that’s hindsight and up to that point Kings outplayed the Lakers and won 2-0 and sabonis was owning AD. I mean now we got swept and AD killing Sabonis and we in 9th this time. So we get two all stars like they did last year?🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼😂😂😂😂😂

[@rey1953]

Did the Kings players collude to get Mike Brown fired? Sort of looks that way.

[@Valleyboi916]

Thug Chris LFG! LTB! Put some respect on them Kings!

[@twilderlm2559]

We don't listen 2 ppl who lie on Our players... 🦊y called u out.

[@DonGe0-42]

All stars: Lakers got 2 in when they were barely the 8th seed. C'mon it's a popularity contest, nothing more. Don't matter if your winning or losing.

[@damango209]

Kings were the 5th seed and couldn't get anyone in last year. Nba don't like sac

[@josephpresiado6826]

Kevin Durant is gonna get in and his team is doing ass

[@ninerempire3398]

Mike brown was never a good or innovative head coach. He’s more like a defensive coordinator

[@milesgreb3537]

Did he say sabonis cant shoot 3s lol

[@jaronseid1141]

In regard to the all star picks, we were 5th or 6th seed if i recall when all stars were decided last year and we got no one, so I'm not expecting respect for even Fox :(

[@s0meguy09]

i think they just needed rest

[@Valleyboi916]

She’s said not this time 😂😂😂 hater!

[@gnvtwhp1218]

When you fire a coach, that's LESS EXPECTATIONS AND LESS PRESSURE TO WIN. Two things fox can live with.

[@funkerman7]

Chandler if you think Fox is the best player on Kings you dont know ball playa

[@NargaCC7]

Sabonis by far is. Fox knows he would never play with a better big if he leaves.

[@2fast4u818]

Tripping, fox carried us in 2022 and playoffs. Let him be fox again. Without browns garbage coaching

[@LivinProoof]

Fox is by far the most talented. Sabonis is a work horse that uses his father's success as motivation. In terms of raw talent, fox is the most talented and when he's focused good luck. Imo that's his biggest issue though, focus throughout an entire game.

[@Shadowlyfeyosh]

Fox is a top 5 pg in the league

[@Dayone916]

Yall smoking that good shit huh
