After a terrible loss in Philly, the Kings head to Milwaukee to face off against the Dame and Giannis Bucks. Should be a tough game, I'm hoping to see some heart and fight from the group tonight.

It looks like they are playing a bit more energy and are more engaged in this one.

Fox keeping us in this game, it is nice to see

Fox is low motor, bad impact, no crispness no assists no getting to the rim. The -10 speaks to what he is doing. He's pretty much undoing any progress of the season and making me wonder how motivated he was initially with the supermax. the low motor stuff is lasting swathes of games, and you can't have that. You dont know when he is going to stop going through the motions either

Huerter, real bright spot here. It improves his desirability if he's on the way out. Much better than Duarte anyways.. Barnes been solid too. Keep this up to make those contracts palatable

We've got more basketball to play.

I was about to blame Fox for the loss, as I thought with a replacement level pg we would have beat the Bucks, but at least he got that game tying layup. Hopefully he redeems himself in OT

These are the Kings we grew to love last year.

Oh no, Malik.

Just brutal.

Monk thats on you in OT, Fox for it going to OT

Missed free throws have been one of the themes of the season.

Hats off to Dame. Monk's two missed free throws was a killer.

Well I think we all knew FTs were going to cost us a game at some stage the way they're shooting them. Didn't expect it from Monk though.
You could just see Dame hitting that as soon as he got down hill in a hurry. Great shot.

As soon as he went into the shooting motion you knew it was going to be good.

I will say. Well done to Brown for taking a stand. There were a few times he could have too. Something needed to be said. It didn't help Fox on that 3 point shot though.

Mike Brown's presser was hilarious and clever.

Touch of reality still needed, FT's killed us in OT. Huerter had a strong game.

Much better showing tonight. Promising at least. The effort was there all game, refs were killing us all game, and they kept fighting back. When you have a chance to close out 5v8 against one of the better teams, you cant beat yourself.

If we can get a stretch where Huerter plays consistently well with the other 5, we will be super dangerous. Game is so much more open having 3-4 legit 3pt threats out there.

Yep. Just a shame Keegan wasn't out there for that second half. We all know how good it is watching these guys in top gear.
Was good to see Jordi going with the guys at the end that were doing the job. Barnes was on the bench despite having a solid game.
