Kings are only up by TWO points and let Minny score 58 points going into the half? Can the Kings not play DEFENSE. The Kings are playing against a bunch of rookies.

Defense is no longer welcome.

I sure don't understand what's going on or maybe I do and understand that the FO is not going to fix the problem.

Grant's talking up D-Will, who happened to start, and is a chair on defense. It says a lot about priorities when you start D-Will. Defense isn't one of them.

Uh huh.

Got a little call from the front office perhaps.

Here's the player Grant is talking up as being such a great acquisition:


14.6min 6.2pts (.437 .306 .639) 2.0reb 0.3ast 0.4stl 0.0blk 0.7TO (11.5PER .519TS%)

Oh, and career he's a 12.9PER and .514TS%, just in case anybody wanted to argue how much better he is now.

Jerry thinks this is a fun game to watch. I wonder if the FO hands out a script.

65% fgs, 67% 3s and 91% fts and we are 2 pts ahead.

I guess we need to tidy up defense as Grant just put it..

It's definitely more fun than the Celtics game.

I actually like Dieng, but Cousins manages to let some of the weaker centers in the league score on him a lot easier than I would like. He plays much better defense when he's defending a real threat.

Cousins isn't quick enough to guard those weaker centers. They're too tall and lengthy for him, which is why JT guards a lot of them.

Grant is drooling over Williams tonight. I've managed to get the Sacramento broadcast for just about every game this season. He's never seemed pro-Williams to me until tonight.

Grant pumping up trade value :eek:

I forgot. D-Will always lights up vs Minnesota. This game doesn't count!

True, but the kind of game he's played today is something he can absolutely replicate. It hasn't been him just randomly juking guys in the half-court, or him racking up points in transition. It's mainly just been in a spot-up shooter role and the ocassional playmaking opportunity.

14 pts, 2 stls, 1 blk, 4 rbs, 2 ast on 5-6 shooting and 2-3 from 3pt. I'd take that any day of the week

I look at as positive reinforcement. DWill is doing pretty good (in respect to what he can do opposed to what he simply ignores). Why not give him praise and hope he'll react like a big puppy and do whatever it takes to get more?

I wish Corbin would leave Cousins in. If we ever hope to get far in the playoffs (I know, we all laugh...) then Cousins is going to need to learn to play with 4 fouls. And I think he can...
