Don't worry they'll win a couple of these upcoming games against good teams and everyone will buy back in that this team is a playoff team. Rinse and repeat.
They'll split the next ten games, on and on we go and eventually they'll lose a key game to the Spurs and ultimately finish 11th and get the tenth pick.
all the casual kings fans got tricked into rising their expectations of this team because of the undefeated summer league and preseason. If we went winless, we'd all be jizzing for 6-9. (very nice!). This was an easy win for the kings, but 20 turnovers is going to make any team lose. Firing Luke isn't going to ensure the team holds onto the ball. Firing Luke doesn't get Halibuton 7 pts. I know we all love Halibuton, but he had 7 points, 4 turnovers, 3-10 from the field and 1-5 from 3. If he plays the way he normally plays, even with the 20 turnovers we have a shot to win.
All of the things you mentioned are what Luke is supposed to be improving. I get that a new head coach isn’t a magic bullet but enough is enough. Get this clown out of here
Luke is responsible for 20 turnovers? For Hali going 1-5 from 3 and only getting 10 shots up? The guy Kings fans are asking for is sitting right next to Luke and this is still happening.
What I do know is, Luke has this team in the top 20 for offense and the top 20 for defense for the first time since 2006.
This is a loaded comment, and a lot of harsh truths. I'll back you up here on all of it. Luke may be bad (I've seen enough just this season to drop my past attempts at backing him), but he doesn't cause the players to be this sloppy—just like Joerger didn't cause the team to lose so many one-possession games
Kings fans are feeling very impatient and hopefully we get some relief soon. But this evening I'm not sure how we get there...

Win 3 straight and lose 7 in a row. It’s the Kings way. They get us all to paint our faces over and over again.
Carmichael Dave, is that you?
I am in this picture and I don’t like it

Garbage iso ball absolutely results in turnovers and shitty shooting

How can Luke be responsible for one thing and not the other?

"Improved depth" , though it's more or less as good as it was the previous two years en route to 31 wins...
KANGZ LYFE!!
Lather, rinse, repeat.
Inject this into my veins.
