[Game] Kings @ Trailblazers - 12/28/16 - 7PT/10ET
- Thread starter CyKings
- Start date
That might be the case with the Nuggets, I haven't looked. Obviously it helps the Kings' cause if teams below them lose and I usually check the standings daily but in the end the Kings just need to win 41 or more games and then it shouldn't matter what anyone else does.
And while I'm very concerned with this roster next season and beyond, the reality is that the Kings are in a nice position this year. 8 of the 15 guys are new this year (all but the 3 rookies get regular minutes) and a new coach and they are still in the 8th spot right now.
Barring substantial injury(s) they should only improve with more time in Joerger's system and more familiarity with one another.
The Kings could fizzle or fall apart as they have in previous seasons but I think this group is different.
We'll see.

We get the tiebreaker if we win this and who knows that could be handy in playoffs seedings.
Beyond that, if Lillard is out we must capitalise and win. Given CJ will be their primary scoring option we should start temple and have him focus on locking him down.
Expect a fiery game. Portland will come out in force now there is blood in the water.
Demarcus to show his growth, keep his cool and to bring home the W. 60 points or so to his name.

Not good... the hip thing is a nagging injury... I felt like he rushed his return seeing how I do physical therapy...
he needs to be healthy and tradable... while he obviously isn't the long term solution to this team playing the best basketball... he's still extremely talented (in his own way)
And even tho it's not pretty he did play well in the 2nd half last game.
He's at his worst when he holds the ball too long and does the ISO thing... that's on Dave Joerger to put an end to that.

I just want big Cuz to remain focused and not make it a point to have another big scoring game. Play within the gameplan and see how Portland is approaching things defensively, and hopefully our bench steps up again in another balanced attack type of victory
I want cousins as fresh as possible down the stretch of this season

I think we totally agree... Gay is detrimental to the overall quality of basketball here in Sacramento ... but he can be reigned in some at least till he's traded...
Straight up tho if a player isn't doing what u want or what's good for the team...a great coach like Greg pop would pull that fool out and sit him... Joerger either has little control or is afraid... but at the end of the day Gay is still gonna screw up being ISO

Not sure that it is this black or white and these seem like pretty skewed, odd, and inaccurate explanations.
Joerger is coaching a team and there are many dynamics, most of which we can't see or understand, that go into his decisions. Pretty sure he isn't making decisions based on lack of control or fear.
