I think at this point he's probably trying to find someone to spark this team which is hard to do without MT, and no one hitting shots. I really dont blame him

I do. If you're missing one of your top three players, how is sitting the other two going to get you back in the game?

With Westphal gone, who do we blame now? What's the acceptable time frame until we can blame the new coach? LOL

It's too early to criticize the offense or defense, imo. Coach needs time to implement his system. But what I feel fine criticizing, is his rotations. Incredibly worrisome. Has nothing to do with x's and o's.

Why does it always seem the other team can't miss against us; oh yeah open looks.

If you can't make shots, you won't win. Don't mean to go all Jerry Reynolds but that's the object of the game.

Maybe giving them an earlier rest to ride them the whole 4th quarter? I can't answer that question easily as I've only seen this quarter of play and a box score. Maybe they' asked to come out I'm not sure. If that was the case maybe he should have kept them in the game longer to tough it out - and make mistakes. Not sure, I can see your point of view though they need to figure it out on the court

Makes no sense. I guess you turn the offensie over to, gasp!, Salmons.

It's one thing if Reke and Cousins played through until the 2min mark of the 3rd, neither had it, and he rests them. But pulling Reke around the 8 min mark, and Cousins before the 6 min mark? While no one else is playing well and allowed to stay out there?

Never seen it before. Ever. A coach subbing out his two top players incredibly early in a half, with neither in foul trouble or injured.

How frustrating is it to watch other teams drill contested 3 after contested 3 while we have boneheads like Salmons and Outlaw brick wide open 3 after wide open 3.

I feel like this team just doesn't take themselves seriously. Kind of a "We are terrible, so If I miss it doesn't matter" attitude.

I mean come on, meeks. He can't miss.

And we can't hit anything from three or even mid range.

I don't know about these rotations maybe he has this long road trip in mind. No idea.

Benched Reke and Cousins, yet everyone else has played worse, and are staying in?

How the F does that make sense?

Ironically it's usually the other way around... Reke and Cousins stay in when they are the ones playing like it's 1 on 5.

Granted... I will admit that Cousins and Reke have looked pretty sharp in most of the Kings' recent games.

The lockout really screwed this team over... this season is going to be ugly, but a learning experience. I wouldn't be hoping for playoffs until next year.
