Garbage time DC. Live to fight another day dude. SMH.

It's obvious there isn't much a solid role for anyone on the bench. Minutes like these are the times where you can maybe find something though. Doug can't see past the next minute. This could fall of the rails as quickly as it came back on them. He's not building towards anything now.

Looking like we’re gonna have a new everything to start next season.

 

[Sam0ah]

Doug Christie is currently ruining Devin Carter

How? He is a rookie?

 

[SacTownKid]

Now is when you get Carter in and let him run as much pick and roll and clank as many as he can get up.

He's coaching like the coach of a team who is trying to make the playoffs with his current roster. He's not coaching like the coach of a rebuilding team. Which we are not. Yet.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

So many bricks

 

[SacTownKid]

How? He is a rookie?

He might be getting "tested". He better be. Playing a rookie like this will certainly test his confidence, only the strong will survive.

 

[Caccia]

I like this Isaac Jones fellah. He is dogged on defense and makes plays.

 

[Dongoodboy]

At least we have some good moment in the winning streak, now can we start the rebuild and take a page from OKC?

Really? He might want to ask previous Kings coaches how playing guys 40 mpg while fighting back from 20 down worked out long term. Better plan for the tank IIRC.

If Christie doesn’t play him he gets criticized if he does he gets criticized. Ya’ll are crazy

He needs some big run since we’re in the hole with Fox now and likely stuck figuring everything out.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Doug has got to fix his subs. I don't know what happened to him compared to the streak. We just seemed like everyone got the right minutes

 

[coolhandluke]

Hartenstein has easily outplayed Sabonis

 

[HndsmCelt]

And the plug is pulled

What? From where? You're down 30? That's garbage time. Play some fresh bodies. Especially if you clearly need one to be a main rotation piece. This is how you lose 8 out of 10 down the stretch. Burn your guys up, trade talk aside.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Up 30? Go ahead fox, get your points

 

[Sluggah]

welp. I guess that’s 1 less FRP in a return.

 

[captain bill]

would really hate to see a blowup result in Doug not getting future HC looks. Altho I suspect if we get a full rebuild Doug will stay. And when had Vivek hiring a coach before a GM ever been an issue?

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Cant say I wasn't prepared to lose today. At least there is that

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Wiggins with a 30 piece lol

 

[HndsmCelt]

It’s as if you had a very successful team high highly focused in all on the same page, despite having guys out versus a group of guys who are unsure where they’ll be playing or who they’ll be playing with each focused on their own agenda… I wouldn’t place all the blame on the front office, but they own a chunk of it

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Yea stomp us in the ground. This is a good lesson. The more it hurts the more we learn.
.remember this one kings.

Write it down.

And a Carter siting and guess what, he's playing good

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Give Issac and Carter minutes. I like there upside. They are young and athletic. Just what we need. I swear we have pieces man

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Jones just extends right over the top around the basket. Will be interesting to see what they do with him after the deadline

 

[chief bromden]

Jdub is out for this one so that will help.

Isaiah Joe primed for a Tony Delk-inspired performance so hopefully Doug plays Keon more than 17 mins today

Whoops, meant Aaron Wiggins. Man

 

[coolhandluke]

Yeah, John Collins is going to turn this team around lol.

 

[Kingz19]

-31 on the glass

OKC has 4 players with double digit rebounds. Dort only 2 off from being the 5th.

Embarrassing performance

 

[megapoxy]

Why did Keon enter?

 

[macadocious]

I’m done watching until this nonsense is resolved.
