Man this team is so talented that's the most frustrating part, we have players this year I really hope PW can step his coaching game up as the year goes on.

One of the reasons Tyreke has 5 fouls is because our worthless coach left him on their best player to pick up 3 or 4 ticky tack fouls. We should've had Cisco or Greene out there guarding Kobe the whole time. That's what we did last year with Donte and the games were way closer than this team despite having less talent.

You are blaming 3 or 4, self proclaimed TICKY TACK fouls on the coach? How more ridiculous can you be. Whether or not Tyreke should be on Kobe is debatable but when you say the fouls are ticky tack, which they were, it is hard to blame them on Westphal. If Tyreke is going to commit silly fouls they are on him.

Yeah that's what I'm wondering, I didn't wanna put it out there because I know I'll never find out the reason. But seriously what is going on? He hasn't played a minute in 3 games.

They weren't silly fouls(except the one where he dove into Fisher's leg going after the ball in the 3rd quarter or whatever that was). They were him battling for post position. The solution is simple, and dang near everyone in the NBA knows that Kobe does worse against long athletic guys than against guys the same size as him. We turned him into a volume shooter last year with Greene on him, now we just doubled him and put our best player on him or Casspi? come on you know that's a joke and you're just making excuses for Westphal. There's no reason for Greene to be glued to the bench all game tonight. Not to mention that Darnell Jackson was playing well and we were making up points and then he takes him out. His rotations suck dude.

Since when is "playing minutes" a position? The kings have Beno and Head on the floor at the same time, how about luther head gets the DNP instead? Does luther head even do anything PG ball handling? He's just playing as a midget 2 bricking threes making bad decisions

Since he said he wanted Head out. Yes, he does do "PG ball handling. He has played 9 minutes and shot 3 3-pointers. One was in transition on a 3 on 3. Two were wide up spot up shots. He has 0 turnovers and 3 assists. How can you equate that to bad decision making?

Because he showed up at camp at almost DMC's weight and slow.

Eh. The facts are VERY fuzzy on that whole situation. So many questions surround it. If he was SO bad why did we start him at the beggining of the season? We still dont know if it was fat or muscle, we still dont know who told him to put on the weight. The full story surrounding Donte would be interesting.

Why keep him active is he isnt going to sniff playing time?
