Joerger yells at Buddy

You can always step right back in, and again, that's IF it was what it looked like. It might not have been. But jamming the only reason you were back in the game for getting you back in over a play call when you're play calls consistently get the team in trouble in the first place won't go unnoticed forever.
Buddy's heart and effort often times outmatches his basketball IQ. He's not a dumb player by any means but he has a tendency to make a fair amount of dumb plays. Gotta live with it though because he's a great player and his positives far outweigh his negatives. A playmaker he is not though.
I did find it interesting that you could tell Durant was taking Buddy's side and looking at Joerger like "what the hell is your problem"
Pretty obvious by now that Durant really likes several of the Kings players and respects them. Durant has gone out of his way to praise the Kings several times now. Draymond is also very complimentary of the Kings.
Oddly enough the Golden Boy Steph seems to be getting a little smug and prickly while playing the Kings. I think in general Steph has lost most of his humble nature over the past couple years but he really seemed cocky and trying to rub it in s lot tonight against the Kings.

Doesn't matter, you're best players have to have full confidence on the sidelines considering removing that player means you probably win about 16 games less per year.
One great thing about Buddy is that he's never a true sieve even when he's off. He's out there defending and hustling. His worst games are turning into doesn't really hurt you much in the end type of games. Very nice indeed.

The only thing that bugged me about Joerger going off on Buddy was that he didn't let it go after the first spat and he kept on doing it the next time down the floor and during the free throws with Durant standing right there in the conversation too.
I don't think it's right to belittle your own guy like that (after you've already done it) right in front of a superstar like Kevin Durant. Joerger is the coach, he's supposed to make his point and then move onto focusing on the next play.
A coach should never be two plays behind like that and focusing on the negative when there is still a game to be won.
Overall Joerger is a good coach and I definitely want to keep him here as the coach but let's face it he can be kind of a dik sometimes. Case in point how he treats the media seemingly at random during random questions.

Coach should be getting into De'Aaron FOX's ears for not passing the ball to Buddy Hield when he's wide open at time. Why do you think your best shooter on the team was off when he ain't get enough ball to shoot? How is he supposed to get any rhyme? Why not run more play for Buddy. And then you go off on Buddy Hield because he just make a deep 3 pointer? What type of coaching is that? Lame.
