It might have been interesting to put Domas on the Bench to start the third against Zubatz and try to spread the floor. But for it to work Lyles has to hit the corner 3 and he is 0-2. Then play Domas against Theis who he can bully.

Regardless Sabonis never plays well against centers strong enough to bully him versus him bullying the opponent. It’s why I think he is overpaid and his contract is a bad one. It’s a problem for which Mike is going to have to find a solution for us to advance.
You're never in these threads when Domas is throwing up 29-14-8 and rag on him when he plays bad. It's irritating and disingenuous because you don't like Domas as a player. And it's not even true!

You're wrong, time to retire this tired/old/bad take that you only bring up when he plays poorly. It's okay to have been incredibly wrong in your evaluation of Domas and McNair. Just have to admit your mistakes and move on.

I have said good games who Domas has them but I’m not wrong about the match-up problems with Sabonis. It’s not a coincidence we make a run with the small line-up and that Sabonis is minus 19.

just because you don’t like the truth doesn’t make it less so.
 
We can't be doing this... "This" meaning after a tough game we come out with no energy and lose big wire to wire. Especially at home. This is a slap to the face of any fan knowing this was going to hap[pen, yet still drops money on going to the game. I had said earlier the bets were against a 5-1 team (at home) against a crappy team that isn't even .500 we should easily beat. It seems like everyone knew we would be blown out due to lack of energy. This kind of obvious "blowing of games" needs to stop. The coach needs to yell at these players doing nothing tonight.

The truth is very subjective…clearly

Nope, you're wrong. You only show up to Domas threads "How many jumpers did he shoot?!?!?!?" And complain he didn't shoot enough, even when he rips a 30-14-8 game. Domas was the literal engine of the best ORtg team of all-time and you have the audacity to say he's a match-up problem for us and not the other team.

You quoting individual +/- in a single game shows how little you're actually bringing to this conversation. Fox is -17 this game. That mean he's playing poorly? It's a worthless stat.

He of course has poor games. He's not Jokic, but he's like 85% of the way there and he's one of the best players the Kings have ever had. Fox is our ceiling case to get to a title, but we don't have anything close to a floor without Domas.

I'm not able to watch the game today but I've been keeping an eye on the box score and it sure looks like the four starters not named De'Aaron Fox didn't bother to show up. Is it as bad as the box score makes it look?
 
I mean, if there is anything to take away from this game it's that on a night with Kawhi, Harden, and PG all having good nights for the Clippers, De'Aaron Fox has far and away been the best player on the floor.
Nope, he's sucked. As been demonstrated in this thread, his +/- is -17. That means he's been bad

At some point, people need to accept that "You are what your record says you are" is never a statement that's going to be true about the Leonard/George Clippers. "Should easily beat" is not a statement that applies to them, no matter what their record says.
 
-Sasha needs more minutes

-We REALLY miss Keegan's defense. Team is falling apart without him out there.

-Duarte is too volatile to be a starter. Can't have these sort of games where he's just unplayable and getting the first assignments.

-We have a real HB on defense problem. Lateral quickness is just absolutely shot at this point. He can't stay in front of pinecone at this point, much less handling the elite wing assignments. Think you have to look at making a change and bringing him off the bench vs second units and give him more of an offensive workload there without getting smoked by starting caliber wings.

-One of the worst Domas games in a Kings uniform. Don't remember a time he was this bad around the rim. To be fair, Zubac is an elite elite defender, but still. With Keegs out and the shooting struggling, we needed him to show up and support Fox in this one. Wasn't there.
