watch the first half highlights, and tell me just what in the hell Steph Curry is doing in the pre game huddle. what a clown.

Those of you who missed watching this game should feel very fortunate. I'm the fellow who told Rainmaker that it was a step back in progress and it never got better the whole game. Highlight of the night was when a nice bearded gentleman came up to my wife and I before the game as we sat in our seats in the top row of the arena and asked if we would like a pair of tickets down in row F off the floor. Lowlight of the night was having to sit in those close seats and witness the ugliness of the game close up.
If the Kings are using the Globetrotter's offense then in the first half they were practicing the play where Meadowlark sat in a chair on the court. They pretty much played the offence we learned to hate last year all game. Little passing lots of dribble drives with ugly missed layups. Weird game with no energy. Smart didn't care about winning as much as trying out certain groups of players together which is OK I guess in pre season.

It's only because he can't start Salmons who is out with personal issues. Only half kidding there because Salmons is really out. Smart has an odd fetish for some veteran players who really don't seem to contribute other than forcing shots up that have little chance of falling. It's like he has to trot out lineups that are terrible just to prove that his idea of playing Tyreke at the SF seems like a good one.
Do you really think that after just 3 pre-season games?? First things first: Travis Outlaw should NEVER be starting over James Johnson...EVER! Second: Tonight was a bad game. Third: The sun will come up in the morning, and the Kings will continue to work on fixing what they made mistakes on. Remember this folks, its a new offense, new defense, new key players in our lineup...the playoff aren't going to happen overnight. I still think that with a starting lineup of Brooks, Evans, Johnson, Thompson, Cousins...and a bench with Thornton, Robinson and Thomas...we can be pretty darn good(maybe not 50 wins, but still pretty good)...once the kinks are worked out.
Smart needs to figure out his lineups and rotations asap. what other team in the nba is just throwing things at a wall and seeing what sticks? Also Tyreke isn't helping the Thornton to the bench arguement by looking pedestrian at times like last year. He's supposed to be a star player for us, but at times just looks like he's content to be a roleplayer. Tyreke needs to be agressive without Isaiah or Thornton on the floor.
no it has nothing to do with preseason at all. i thought that before the draft. i think T Rob looks great so far and is going to be a big contributer right away as a rookie and i really like the kid, and im glad he's on the team. i just think overall Barnes was a better fit for the team and would have a been a better pick in the long run
