[Game] Kings at Clippers, Saturday Feb. 22, 12:30 PM PT/3:30 PM ET

Walton is figuring out a lot of things about his players.
I like how he rewards good efforts by letting people finish the game. It is a great motivational device.
Hard to believe that the Kings are winning without Bagley or Holmes, and Buddy on the bench most of the time.
Defense is what is allowing that to happen.

Defense is what is allowing that to happen.

With all the hype about GSW and how much our owner love that style, so many forgot that it is and always has been fundamentals and defense win championships.

I guess I'm in the minority, but I don't have a problem with Walton pulling someone for not being able to hit water from the boat. Luke absolutely has to keep his best players of the game on the court as much as possible and if someone isn't performing, try something else - especially if anybody is still serious about trying to play after mid-April.

Yup. The guys on the floor were getting it done, I have no problem with limiting Buddy's minutes when he's not doing well and we have something else that works. Quite different from that previous game (that he grumbled about) when it wasn't as if anybody else was playing much better and we lost.
