[harishanand]

Malik's playmaking was missed tonight, he really elevates Sabonis's game too. I don't remember the last time we won a game at the Bucks arena

[antoniobautista]

Great 7-win run; wished we could've broken the 7-win streak, but 7 wins straight is more than enough. Now is the real time for us to buckle up for the ride. The way that the Kings respond to this will determine the future of our year, like many of us have been saying along with you, Matt. But I truly believe that we're headed to greener pastures and more WINNING!

[iWRglasses]

They looked like they were missing their point guard. Malik looks like the Mvp of this team more and more.

[charlesmayeda]

The win streak allowed us to kind of ignore the bench depth that continues to be mediocre at best. Hopefully this loss reminds the front office that a significant move needs to be made at this trade deadline

[FeIix]

Malik is more important to this team than Fox.

NOBODY runs that 2 man game with Domas the way Monk does. Fox isnt the playermaker or passer that Monk is.

[michaelmueckjr]

Malik wasn’t guarding giannis, lopez or portis, it wasn’t an offense problem as much as the matchup issues bucks pose.

[oohhsedagod]

Not mad about the loss at all the bucks where just shooting out there minds out and we couldnt buy a bucket!! That 7 game win streak help to stay close to the playoff window

[cqaguilar]

Bucks went on a 21-2 the moment Fox took his break in the 1st for Huerter. And people think Fox was the problem last night?

[yurr]

My biggest takeaway from this game is that we’re still in need of a solid defensive 4 or 5 behind Sabonis. We have no paint protection and I understand we’re playing Giannis but we just allowed the most points in a quarter this year and there were exploiting that

[BantonioAlvarez]

We can argue that physicality isn’t there, everytime we bring it into the game the opposing team goes to the line 40 times in one night. Fox didn’t get to the line once and was getting fouled left n right.

[LivinProoof]

Anytime we lose Monk, we play terribly, think back to the beginning of this season with his ankle injury for two weeks. Think back to the end of last season when he went out for two weeks. Dropped from the 5th seed to the freaking 10th seed. He's VITAL!! VITAL TO THIS TEAM.

[jaimesoria]

They can beat the Rockets.They played last night in Denver and now in Sacramento tonight. The kings are well rested and monk is playing. The kings should control the tempo of the game.They cannot afford to do run and gun offense against this team. Good luck kings. Use your head and play defense. If the kings can contain Jalen Green then they will have a chance to win.

[SkillMentorSecurity]

As far as winning value, Monk provides that better than Fox

[jaimesoria]

I think the returning of Fox in the starting rotation disturbed the consistency of their plays. With Fox starting the effectiveness of Monk, Ellis, Lyles and Carter. The kings started running and made a lot of mistakes. They gave up 130 points. The kings cannot win if they play like this. Try Fox the sixth man against the rockets and see what happens.If the kings win then it is about time to re-evaluate Fox credibility. Doug should stick to his original starters because it is working. If not then the kings are
Looking for another skid. I hope not.

[MrOctober]

Combination of they were going to lose at some point, bucks at home is a tough matchup in itself, no Monk, Bucks really wanted a win after their last game.

[TheHeadcrabFarmer]

Malik was missed, but I'm not sure how much better we would fare against the bucks with him. They are a matchup nightmare with way too much aggressive length that stifles most of any offence close to the paint

[jesuschristmyking]

Matt can you please tell Fox that he is shooting 32% on the year from 3pt land, to stop shooting 8 3's in a game...thanks

[aaronskibbie]

We will get blown out a few more times this season. Part of basketball doesn't define who Sacramento is. We're a solid team.

[SkillMentorSecurity]

They can't win every game. The idea is to limit the number of losses coming up! No more long losing streaks!

[ProperName]

It took an MVP performance from Giannis to snap the streak. I’m glad Kings standards have risen, but we don’t have to be ashamed or too concerned about this loss. Let’s see how they bounce back now
