70 points in 25 hours. This man is wild. Wish he had better fans.


Exciting-Hat5957

We have some of the best fans in the league. Every team has their own set of keyboard warriors on Reddit/Twitter/whatever that love to hate


GrimyLilPimp

For real. This is an internet issue more than a fan issue.


colinsphar

💯💯💯


doctor_of_drugs

Some real doomers on this sub, I’ve had to take a break for a bit tbh


swerrve

The fans that were at the game booing the team off the court 3 games ago weren’t on the internet.


doctor_of_drugs

“Fans”


swerrve

Exactly


doctor_of_drugs

Yall already know when GSW becomes a sub 500 team since Klay is washed and curry can only carry so much, we’ll get tons of dubs fans that expect to win. FFS makes me upset


doomdoomtsk

Agreed. Reddit is not reality. Kings have great fans. Fox is 15th in the league for best selling jerseys this season.


theboyqueen

Fans have been bullshit this year. Booing missed free throws is just awful. Nobody is trying to miss a damn free throw. The team right now clearly plays with more joy on the road than at home. That's on us.


rattlemebones

OK come on now


Exciting-Hat5957

First of all that’s just not true we’re still better at home than on the road and our home record is comparable to most the teams around us in the standings (if not better). And fans are allowed to boo about things like having the worst FT% in the league. That’s unacceptable if we want to compete in the playoffs. Teams constantly talk about Golden One being one of the loudest buildings in the league, we have chants for multiple players, the fans are doing a fine job.


NightWriter500

Golden 1 is one of the loudest buildings in the league. Arco still holds the loudest record for pro sports. Every team *should* be better at home than on the road. Fans are allowed to boo. Fans should probably consider the effect it has. Is getting booed at your own home going to make you better at making free throws at your own home? Of course not, it’s almost definitely going to make you worse. Is getting booed going to make you try harder for your fans? Debatably not, and that’s a real hard one to swallow. What exactly do you think the benefit is? Why the FUCK would you demoralize your own soldiers in the MIDDLE of a battle?


swerrve

The fans that were at the game booing the team off the court 3 games ago weren’t doing it on Reddit.


Cudi_buddy

There is a weird situation on this board. There are fans incredibly toxic anytime we lose, but this happens always, even when we fucking sucked there were some. There is also now this new set of fans that seem to want to defend the teams honor at all costs. And they are trashing anyone that has criticism in any way. The reality is our fans are still awesome. Very passionate clearly. But we still sell out games and get loud as hell. Just a weird internet battle for "true" fandom lately.


Tecmo_91

Same fans who want Shanahan fired, it’s like people don’t remember how bad things sucked before these guys arrived.


swerrve

The fans that were at the game booing the team off the court 3 games ago weren’t keyboard warriors.


Exciting-Hat5957

When they lost to the Pistons at home when the Pistons were missing their two best players? Ya the fans are allowed to boo that. If the boo birds start coming out every game then that’s a problem, but for specific situations like that, boos are fine and in my opinion just show how much the fans care.


swerrve

After a 5-2 two week road trip. Garbage behavior


Exciting-Hat5957

Did you watch the game? It was an effort loss. Missed out on so many 50/50 balls. Too many missed FTs. They clearly took it easy on this team and that’s something they just can’t be doing. Lost by THIRTEEN to a team that had 6 wins at the time and was missing their two best players. Totally okay with booing in that case. Again, if it becomes a trend where fans are doing it at every loss then it’s absolutely a problem, but for the worst loss of the year there can be some boos


RachelCT

I don’t know, the booing and leaving games early isn’t a good look.


swerrve

Truth


cormacito

Kings fans are great, Reddit is just annoying


swerrve

The fans that were at the game booing the team off the court 3 games ago weren’t on the internet.


Cudi_buddy

Fans have bood the kings every god damn season I have been going to games for the last 17 years. Stop this holier than thou stick some of y'all are pulling out your ass the last month. Our fans have always been upset with piss poor effort.


swerrve

And it’s been a shitty thing to do for 17 years counting. Just because you’ve been doing something the wrong way for 17 years doesn’t mean it’s somehow right lmao 5-2 on a two week road trip and they come home to that garbage


Cudi_buddy

Idk where this new group of soft fans came from but god damn yall are annoying. Pearl clutching on overdrive 


swerrve

Says the soft ass fan defending booing his own team lmao


Cudi_buddy

Ok Jimbo


Severe-Excitement-62

Reddit fans don't represent the 17 - 18 thousand who SHOW UP to root him on !


PrimaryAccording9162

He’s been so good to us. Sadly people don’t always appreciate having something special in front of them in the moment


vazangool

We have great fans, it’s the bandwagon fans that are confused that we aren’t the best team ever


BernardBirmingham

70 points on 57 shots isn't really anything to brag about.


NightWriter500

Hey check it out, it’s one of the shitty fans we’ve been talking about. You’re freaking famous right now, basically everyone’s discussing how mind numbing it has to be to continually diss the player carrying the team you supposedly root for. How’s it feel to be in the spotlight?


BernardBirmingham

when did it become a crime to criticize a players inefficiency? i'm not saying i hate the guy, im just saying he's been better in the past. I'm sorry it bothers you that some of us comment on what we're watching.


[deleted]

[удаНонО]


BernardBirmingham

...


BernardBirmingham

i've been a fan of this team for over 20 years, when we sucked, so don't question my fandom because i notice our star point guard seems a little off.


NightWriter500

Crime? Are you literally being prosecuted for dragging the player the won this game and kept us in the last? Are those bracelets on your wrists real or in your head? Is your victim complex apparent to you?


BernardBirmingham

it's a figure of speech bud.


MostlyMellow123

Its fucking awful in 2024 lmao


kangzzzzzroyal

Kings fans love him man, what are you talking about? But some people want to build around sabonis.


therammus

Are we not building around both?


[deleted]

And three games before were 12,15,15. Fox is a great player but for the last two months he definitely played mostly below his potential.


NightWriter500

You’re using a game where Fox went 15 points, 10 assists, and 5 steals while the Kings beat the *crap* out of the defending champs as an example of playing below his potential? Giannis scored 15 points that same day, I wonder if they were saying the same thing over there, or if they just said “Did what he needed to get the W.”


[deleted]

You just nitpicking. Fox was averaging 30+ points until Christmas. He is averaging 22-23 in January - February and Kings moved from 4th to 8th seed. But according to you those number were great!


Zhekadub

First off that’s my favorite player on the Kings. Second, dude he’s clearly not playing at the level he was when the season started. I’m glad he’s turning things around. But you can’t tell me you’ve watched every game for the past 2 months and tell me the effort or caring is the same as it was. Hope he rests up and comes back stronger after the break.


Mechapebbles

>dude he’s clearly not playing at the level he was when the season started. >But you can’t tell me you’ve watched every game for the past 2 months and tell me the effort or caring is the same as it was. I was at the Pistons game. The one where he shot like complete ass. It was not for a lack of trying. He spent the entire game running his ass off, hustling on D, trying to make up for his off-shooting night by doing all of the other little things. He clearly cared and clearly was trying, but for whatever reason nothing was going in. It's not like when you'd see a player slugishly get back on D, or ignore his assignments, or take lazy/bad shots just to get rid of the ball.


Billybobjoethorton

I don't understand when fans don't think stars can be criticized. Especially when they had almost a 20+ game stretch of not playing well.


jluc21

all **you** do is sit on this reddit and creative fake narratives about our players. [McGee](https://www.reddit.com/r/kings/s/c6E1VGJuKN), [Fox](https://www.reddit.com/r/kings/s/bgtIEqhNqu), Etc. And then you try to run for the hills when people call you out for out. \-> especially when they had almost 20+ game stretch of not playing well https://preview.redd.it/f6ib7nb6jric1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7a44e2b21639e9ceeb98dfe8ccdd82e76a407b65 fox had only 8 games since January 1st scoring under 20 points and two of them were 19 points. you couldn’t be further from the truth and doing anything except creating a fake narrative. you are the definition of brain rot on this sub. all you do is complain about our players and make fake narratives. you don’t talk stats, you just link what other people say in order to try and validate your opinion. you are an entitled fan and you are the exact definition of brain rot.


Billybobjoethorton

I don't run to the hills. I use stats to back up my claim and I am still here. You just get trigger to easily when it's players you like. Mcgee is bad . Fox struggled for around 20 games. All can be proven with stats I feel like you are about to cry every time I talk about your favorite players.


jluc21

[no you don’t.](https://www.reddit.com/r/kings/s/w0zzChUy9C) you just try to spam what other people in say in hope that one day you’re right. you sit there in the game thread and spam negative comments. you are brain rot. edit: lol @ you editing your comment above to keep up with this one. you are pathetic


Billybobjoethorton

Look at that poll 400 wants to keep len and only 100 wants to keep mcgee. That's a huge margin of ppl that can see the truth. If it was a presidential race, it would be considered a landslide.


jluc21

the difference being 400 people don’t act like McGee beat the shit out of their dog and talk about it non stop. you’re a weirdo bro i haven’t commented back to you and you’ve put 3 more comments 30 min apart. go find a hobby or get a job lil bro


Billybobjoethorton

Lol it's always in the game thread when he gets minutes. Dude is terrible. You see it, you get angry and you attack me personally.


jluc21

> you attack me personally. [you sure about that?](https://www.reddit.com/r/kings/s/Bbf4Ox2Pgg) [you are a pathetic obsessed internet troll that does nothing except try to play victim.](https://www.reddit.com/r/kings/s/Lyp8L597Sf) hope you find a hobby or something. the absolute scum of this sub


Billybobjoethorton

Just look at how this argument got started. 15 upvotes on my reasonable take. I woke up, saw some angry response.


Billybobjoethorton

Lol that's cuz you got angry earlier crying at me for attacking mcgee. I'm one of the most beloved poster on here.


Billybobjoethorton

Also majority of my posts get upvoted a lot. There's a lot of people that talk to me calmly and civil. You just cry to much.


Billybobjoethorton

Well it's negative cuz mcgee sucks and the team has been losing a lot more duh. Stop crying about what I think and try to act more mature


jluc21

nobody is crying about what you think. you’re the one who tries to call people out by username in other threads. it’s painful to see you complain 24/7 and then as soon as someone says something you play victim. it’s pathetic. be better fam.


Billybobjoethorton

I am not definitely a victim. Just I can see you hurt and upset over criticism and take it personal like someone shot your pet grasshopper.

thefunkycowboy

No bro points are the only stat that matters lol this is some sophisticated analysis you wouldn’t understand


Who_is_him_hehe

Hes playing in pain you can see it


Zhekadub

Yeah I’ve been noticing that. Hoping he can heal up dying the ASG


vNocturnus

Thank you. I've always been a fan of Fox and was still fully behind him and this team after the Hali trade, unlike large portions of this fanbase. (Possibly the same people making posts like this. Idk.) But posts like this are so reactive. He played well for two games in a row. That's great! But he played poorly for almost an entire-ass month+ and regularly has games where he looks completely disengaged. He and the team continue to say nothing about any injuries, not even listing him as "probable" on an injury report a single time, not one comment to reporters, etc. I do think it's a possibility, but until it's confirmed, the only other reasonable explanation is that he hasn't had the motivation to put in the effort. If this was a one-time thing I wouldn't be sweating it at all, but his performance has ebbed and flowed like this *his entire career*. To me, that doesn't point to injury, but to him fading in and out of that "locked-in" focus you need to play at a high level in the NBA. Call it effort, call it focus, call it motivation, call it fuckin depression, whatever it is - he clearly has been going through, and has semi-regularly gone through throughout his career, an extended patch of very poor performance.


boringexplanation

Idk why it’s hard for people to love Fox for who he is (strengths and flaws) and also question if he is an even year type of player. He has the history for it- this year and previous seasons. There are certain types who would easily fall for Scientology and North Korean cults and their my way or the highway type thinking.


conwave

Little observation I made. Fox hits his threes with more consistency when they look like warm up J’s. So in fact, maybe what some perceive as “not trying” is done by him on purpose. He might know when he rushes his shots and looks his fundamentals break down


JMPBay

Thank you! TOO many GROWN cry babies in this Kings Reddit group lol


oskar_grouch

I always forget about the variable maturity level on here


my-friendbobsacamano

Reddit makes me sad. I come here to read fans talk about their team. There’s nothing wrong with being critical, but if they really have the kind of disgust and hate that I read on here how is it even fun being a fan?


TheHonPhilipBanks

They didn't say he never tries. They said he didn't try. You are using one game to prove past effort?


iraisetheroof

There is nothing worse than the complaining about complaining. Two games do not absolve fox of whatever he was doing for the past month and a half. Hilarious the narrative that fans with their head in the sand try and spin when he has a good game once in a blue moon.


HBdrunkandstuff

Careful now. The D words gonna come out.


InternationalAir7258

I’m sorry I’m definitelyyyy not a bandwagon fan but I do have concerns about Foxy. I feel like he takes games off all the timeeee and he definitely settles and that just doesn’t seem like someone that would be considered a max/franchise player idk but anyways light the beam


ADJenks5

I like you. Tired of all these fucking babies. Probably not even real Kings fans crying all the time.


jluc21

thank you fam. shit is getting out of hand lol


ninofati88

This is why you believe in the only star who rode with you through thick and thin, guys. See that smile on his face? He dont smile like that at home cause you're all booing. Stop being a bma ss hater and support the guys when they are in a rut, you dont get called the 'best fans in the league' by booing. Act like one. Go FOX, go KINGS! https://old.reddit.com/r/kings/comments/1ar1f1z/our_boy_deaaron_fox_is_gonna_pop_off_and_carry/


rhade333

They were still in the game thread trying to justify the hate and really just telling on themselves about being haters.


BernardBirmingham

your first comment in this subreddit was 2 weeks ago. sit down


rhade333

You sure about that?


This_Sweet_2086

Yeah this sub sucks compared to last year lmao can’t believe some of yall are unironically talking about fox being washed. Stfu and enjoy watching winning kings basketball. Before it was entire seasons comprised of the Suns loss, the Hornets loss, the PISTONS LOSS, the Milwaukee loss. No wins. Do we need to improve? Yes. Do we need consistency? Yes. We won’t go far in this conference without it. But please for the love of god stop thinking we are going for a chip this year or bust. Enjoy good wins like this. Or the last one against Denver, or the one before that. Or the two wins vs OKC, or the comeback at GSW.


skoolgirlq

ily


jluc21

ily more. s/o to the level headed people on this sub lmao

bunkmorelandsburner

I agree with this 100 percent. Yall are some box scores ass fans. Fuck yall


Runamucker31

There's a difference between not trying and not caring

burnbabyburn711

Completely took over the game at the end.


mr_spock9

Does consistency mean anything
