I don't care what the standards are 33 games into his career. I know what is realistic. Tyreke played well in the 2nd half and created for others. No one really converted. He also has 0 TO's. Now, he didn't shoot that well, and he has played much better for us. But JT, Omri, Beno, and Ime all played poorly, and Noc and Sergio barely showed up. There's plenty of blame to go around.

I think the game was lost with the players we had on the floor at the beginning of the 4th. Noc, JT and Sergio all on the floor at the same time. Bad combo Coach. It absolutely killed our momentum.

We're not going to agree on this obviously. You can fault Tyreke. I say there is enough blame to go around. Tyreke didn't have one of his better games, but he still played better than the majority of the team.

How in the world can Omri have 3 more rebounds than the combined total of JT and Hawes?
No one can handle D12 , but some bigs have enough to give their team a shot. Hawes was completely useless.He doesn't have the strength to finish anything slightly contested at the rim.

Omri did a good job on the boards, but 11 is a little misleading. It was partly a priduct of neither JT or Spencer doing anything productive on the glass. If you think Hawes was useless, where does that leave JT? JT was by far the biggest dissapointment of the night.

With each passing game, it's looking less and less likely that JT will be in the Rookie / Sophomore Game. A shame, i was really looking forward to having 3 guys represent the Kings.

yep exactly.. it took a 10-2 run from orlando at the start of the 4th to get reke and others back in the game. and westphal didnt even call a timeout during that run? it was a mandatory TO that stopped the play.

This was lost because you can't rest Tyreke and Omri together to Start the fourth and because JT and Hawes seem to be a pair of scrubs.D12 is dominant but decent bigs can at least prevail on a couple of plays, not get abused all the time. Between losing to the strength of Howard and the plays the blow cause they are who they are you got very little left in way of sucess.

There is irony to us being a team that needs to quickly bring its rookies INTO the game when we need to stop the bleeding. Great for the rooks. Not so great for everybody else.

One thing I don't understand about tonights loss. Why didn't we give Spencer the ball at the elbow and run the high-post offense through him, and try to bring Howard away from the hoop? That would have been our one advantage in matching up against Dwight. We tried it once or twice, the spacing was terrible, and we never went back to it.

I'm getting the impression that Westphal is keeping the playbook pretty simple with these guys at this point. I'm just a little shocked we didn't see Spencer with the ball up high, and send cutters back door and get some movement off the ball going towards the hoop.
