[Game] Kings vs Pistons 3/14/12

[rainmaker]

maloofs already picked up his option for next season and with all the dough they're gonna drop on the arena, i doubt theyll fire him and continue to pay his salary. i PRAY im wrong tho. my guess is that it ends up just like this season, they let smart coach 10 games or so next season before they let him go, and that leaves us with another coach change partway through the season which is never good

They've shown a number of times they're willing to pay two coaches at once.

First year of every coach since Adelman they've paid two coaches at once, aside from Westy's 2nd year, if my memory is correct. Broke that entire time.

 

[Yocrunch]

We don't suck because of our coach. We suck because our team was constructed like ****.

enough of that crap, bad coaching is just another part of the picture, and BAD coaching sure is part of the picture.

 

[rainmaker]

Where the F are Reke/Cuz? Only your two best players.

 

[cuad]

Wonderful, let's watch Jimmer Fredette and John Salmosn try to split doubles

 

[theclash4u5]

The Maloofs and Petrie are just plain stupid when it comes to coaches. When you have an interim coach, you don't automatically promote him and give him an extra year before seeing what he can do. Imagine if we did that with Natt....sigh..

I hope we're making a trade for Doc Rivers.

Were having conversations about Jimmer Fredette as well, then saw him play tonight

 

[Arkitect]

One bright spot. JT at 10/11 shooting.

 

[Hadlowe]

I hope we're making a trade for Doc Rivers.

Haha.

Of Course, he would come to the team and ask "Why is half of your squad shooting guards?"

Has any team gone through as many coaches as we have in the last 6 years? At some point you may have to point the microscope at the people making the coaching decisions.

 

[est.1999]

Boston will give us what exactly?? And doesn't Ainge still owe us for taking on a contract or something a year or two ago?

 

[Tetsujin]

IT before Tyreke and Cuz? It's like Smart is trying to dismantle our entire squad

 

[Kings Faithful]

No, blaming it on the coach is the same cop out we always go to. No coach in the league would turn our disfunctions into gold.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Salmons dribbles it off his foot to top off this wonderful night of basketball.

 

[Bricklayer]

explain to me again, AGAIN, what on Earth Salmons has done tongith to desrve still being out there?

 

[rainmaker]

No one is blaming all of this on the coach. Are you kidding me? Have you not seen all the thread regarding our FO and unbalanced roster?

But decisions in a game are on the coach, and he's completely failing there. Having in game advantages and intentionally going away from them has nothing to do with the FO.

 

[The Hammer]

Why is our team so crappy?

 

[Capt. Factorial]

When did we go to 4-guard?

 

[theclash4u5]

Yeah, I think we got a 2nd round 2017 draft pick for that one. What a steal....

But Boston has the Clippers 1st round pick, don't they?

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

The rotation wasn't perfect tonight, but at least the starters came in with enough time to find some sort of rhythm in the fourth.

 

[Tetsujin]

Salmons and Reke are the only people on the floor capable of actually playing defense.

 

[swisshh]

IT makes two shots so he jacks up a three. =/

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Passsss theeeeee balllllllll

 

[rainmaker]

Except our 20/10 PF is on the bench in favor of Salmons playing the 4.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Boston has the Clippers 1st round pick, don't they?

Yep. Top-10 protected, but that's not going to be an issue at this point.

Edit: In fact, I think I'd rather have Boston's at this point.
