[Game] Kings @ Rockets - 12/14/16 - 5PT/8ET

[fansinceday1]

Why can't 2 out of the 3 rooks get more time with this crap team?

 

[SLAB]

why not? it obviously works for the kings. karl was right all along!

I do retroactively remove *THAT* blame from Karl. Clearly wasn't a gameplan thing as they continue to do it now.

Kings have too much depth

 

[PurpleHaze]

132 - 98 as expected

Kings have too much depth

Is it really depth when the only thing they can do is lay turds everywhere on the court though?

Afflalo needs to earn his 12 million somehow.

Sorry it was a joke

Richardson looks good, and not because he made 3s. Some people have unreasonable faith in a player just because they made 3s before. But it either goes in or doesn't. The best thing to do is to look at how they drive to the rim. Do they make the right decision under pressure. Not did they make 3s before.

 

[jcwkings]

Richardson looked more comfortable in 12 NBA minutes than Ben has looked for most of his career. Sure took a couple of forced shots but he doesnt look like he's playing at 200 mp/h. Good stroke from outside, nice pull up game off a screen, and can create a little of the dribble, isnt a straight line driver. Defense wasnt bad either.

Team hasn't been crap until tonight. When you're in nearly every game until late, its hard to find time to let the kiddies play.

I think there's some chance Malachi could actually help though, if we're finally done twiddling our thumbs with Afflalo and Ben.

The thing is WCS and Afflalo have been awful this year. If Skal played over WCS, the team wouldn't miss a beat.

Skal can help too. He's part of the future. Enough of WCS

results still a loss.
Id rather lose with the rooks playing.

If Skal struggles his sophmore year will you say enough of Skal? Not defending WCS, but this fanbase is way too quick to condemn young players. Heck Nik Stauskas is starting to look like a actual NBA player.

 

[Npliam]

I came here to see if there would be a "grades" thread. I wouldn't blame you if there wasn't.

That's nice, but fans this year have been blind as bats. We've tried very hard to win, and come damn close.

If we were going out and expecting to get whopped by 20 every night, then sure, why not. That's not been the deal.

As much as anyone hates to admit it, WCS is also part of the future right now.

This team isn't going to "Whiteside" another young big any time soon.

Aaron Bruski

The rookies not playing thing in Sacto is nowhere near the importance of losing 10+ close games while playing Coufos and benching Temple.

 

[funkykingston]

I applaud those of you that watched the game. As soon as I saw Cuz was out I decided not to bother.

You have been working this angle very hard, but honestly it looks like you are putting make-up on a pig to me.

or

"Look on the bright side, we have almost beaten some bad teams"

 

[jcwkings]

If i were the coach i would run these rotations:

Pg: Collison
SG: Temple
SF: Gay
PF: WCS
C: Cousins

Bench:
Lawson
Malachi or Ben
Casspi
Barnes
Koufos

With that said I can understand starting Casspi over WCS. Im just in the camp that WCS NEEDS to play with Cousins to standout and WCS playing well will benefit W/L record most as roster is currently constructed. Just my take.

He's trying, real hard!

 

[Boogie_Fever]

But but they played with so much effort and the ball moved so well tonight. Can't wait till Boogie is gone. Looking forward to those fun nights of effort and ball movement and 4o point loses!

Skal was a consensus top two for much of last year for a reason IMO and has natural talent out the wazoo. He's special IMO

You like college basketball, too, don't you?

 

[kingsboi]

Of course he doesn't. It was the most useless 7 mins of play you will see from a player. Just complete garbage.

at least Myles Turner is playing well

 

[kingsboi]

Anybody hear Nate's take on 1140 that we're a team stuck in a 90s mindset? I apologize if this is already been brought up.

We've been stuck in the 90s mindset for quite sometime IMO....trying to recreate a front office with former players and assistant coaches over the years (Bobby, Corliss)

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I'm pretty sure that's not what he meant.
