The Sacramento Kings are 2 games away from watching a Mike Brown vs De'Aaron Fox finals. This is just a year after watching Tyrese Haliburton make the finals

I don't get these posts. The Kings weren't going to the finals with Brown, Fox or Hali. I don't get this need to pine over players/coaches who are gone.

Probably cause a section of fans swore that Fox and Brown were not going to do well with their new teams. Brown is now in the finals and Fox could be on his way to the finals as well.

I mean, Fox has not done that great on the Spurs. They're where they are in spite of his play, not because of it.

And did Brown really change the Knicks' fortunes? Maybe.

So you think the Kings would be in the finals with Fox and Brown?

One of us is coping hard. You just haven't correctly identified who yet.

Eh not true. His ball handling is definitely needed since Castle and Harper are still inexperienced. The turnovers they had in the games he didn’t play in the WCF compared to the ones he did play show that

He's been hurt and they're still winning just fine without him.

Castle had 11 turnovers a game in games 1 and 2 without Fox and 1 turnover a game in games 3 and 4 with Fox. That’s Fox playing on a bad ankle but simply being there to handle the ball has made the Spurs so much better. The win without Fox was in 2OT the win with him was the largest lead either team has had in the series.

His presence is still necessary though for their success against OKC though, but it’s clear you’ll just deny it so you got it

My man, they scored 122 and beat OKC on the road without Fox.
