[Game] Game 31: Sacramento Kings @ Brooklyn Nets - 12/29/14 - 430 pst 730 est

[New Era]

Great offense....just stand around and pass it side to side

 

[dude12]

Cuz going to throttle someone

 

[fansinceday1]

I can't tell you how painful it is to see cousins falling apart.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Landry and Casspi have tried to get some bench life going

 

[Glenn]

There was a stable team game.
There was a stable defense.
There was a PO possibility.

Cousins, Gay, Collins, Ben, Casspi, were all stable and a team unit...

Why to change?!

PDA's feelings were hurt.

 

[kingsboi]

Collison really isn't a smart ball player is he...I mean I saw that coming a mile away...there were three white jerseys back there

 

[SLAB]

He's at the end of the bench and forced into a role because Sessions is out. Dogging on him is like kicking a puppy IMHO. He is NOT the problem.

I've never once dogged on him. I've just questioned people who have said he can be a good contributing piece or be a starting caliber player.

 

[funkykingston]

This is the offense the FO visions. Easy buckets when it's there.

No, that was Mike Malone's vision. That's almost verbatim what he said.

I can't tell you what the FO envisions. But looking at the circus they're running in Reno I wouldn't say "opportunistic fastbreaks" are really what they are looking for.

 

[206Fan]

Stupid by Collison.

 

[ParniValjak]

While you're right, I'm not absolving Corbin. In my perfect world, Corbin would be on the side of the players, refusing to buy into the style changes. There's no reason for us to have to watch what we're watching. None.

While I would like that too, its highly unrealistic to expect it. Corbin is a symptom of what we are currently seeing. Vivek, Gebril and Mully *puke* are the cause. You never treat the symptom, you always treat the cause.

 

[Sac.Kings]

I am at a loss for words for what I am seeing. I have never been more depressed as a fan

 

[VF21]

When DMC is reduced to screaming the F word at the top of his lungs at bad play by his teammates, you know something has to give. Would be nice if Corbin was doing that and not the guy who can be kicked out of the game.

DMC is really pissed and I don't blame him. Shame that he's doing what the head coach should be doing. Damn it. @Vivek @Pdoro #FIXTHISNOW

The Kenny Natt era (er error) was worse as hard as that is to believe.

 

[Sac.Kings]

Any day now "Cousins has asked to be traded" will be in the headlines

 

[kingsboi]

really DeMarcus? the guy is obviously fatigued out there

 

[kennadog]

Pete, you insulted us by saying style was more important than wins and losses. It was an insult to say we would only buy tickets, if the offense were flashier.

What you fail to grasp, apparently, is that the only "style" the fans want to see is a winning style.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

i think the players need to call a meeting with the front office to tell them they will not stand for their shenanigans any longer

 

[kingsking]

No Ben

 

[VF21]

I agree with this principle, in the abstract. But, at some point, we're becoming very cavalier with Tyrone Corbin's career, and his ability to provide for his family. I mean, yeah, it would be awesome to have a guy willing to stand on principle against this ridiculousness, but Corbin then has to turn around and try to get another job, only now with the reputation of a guy who is openly defiant to his boss.

That's exactly why I said "In MY perfect world..."

 

[Sac.Kings]

The Kenny Natt era (er error) was worse as hard as that is to believe.

Not to me. We were supposed to suck. This season was supposed to be about wins and then it turned to style, and now it is just garbage

 

[kingsboi]

the Kings keep getting close to chipping away and then the Nets get it right back to 10....story of the game

 

[fansinceday1]

I gotta disagree with you. I really feel like we're seeing the last days of cousins here. Why would he want to be here for this sh**?

 

[The_Jamal]

Oh look. Effort. What a freaking concept.

Way too much of this product is being put on the coaching situation. One thing the players can control is their effort on the floor and this team does well when all guys are getting after it.

 

[Larry89]

You know this game would be alot easier if we just slowed it down and played big boy ball with two bigs. Instead we have players like Alan Andersan getting offensive rebounds over midgets

 

[VF21]

I've never once dogged on him. I've just questioned people who have said he can be a good contributing piece or be a starting caliber player.

Sorry, but that's a distinction without a difference IMHO.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Who will play D in crunch time - I mean who on the Kings?

 

[206Fan]

The only reason why we've come back is because we're pushing the ball lol

 

[fmuninja]

So when we run and fail to score we just give the ball to Cousins at the 3 pt line. Thompson has also really regressed in this terrible NBA 3.0 era.

 

[kingsboi]

listening to the Nets broadcast is a joy

What you fail to grasp, to grasp, apparently, is that the only "style" the fans want to see is a winning style.

Then Vivek is going to wonder why attendance has dipped to where it was a few years ago. The losses were because of that and losing is not exciting.

Wins are more entertaining than style. D'Alessandro is insane
