You have to play Thornton. He's the best perimeter scorer on the team. Evans is playing the 2.
You can blame Smart for the fact that we aren't blowing out a well coached Chicago Bulls team at their home opener. I'll blame all the turnovers and our point guards getting swamped on defense/ being totally ineffective. We are down by 4. I like our chances in the second half if we can protect the ball and get one other guy going. The rotations have been solid for the most part. I have a few minor issues with it of course, but damn.
I'm not an optimist either.

Kings are playing excellent defense. I might have seen three flub-ups in the half, and that's not bad at all. They are playing with a lot of focus and intensity. The offense needs work, but overall I really like what I'm seeing. Yes, Cousins got into foul trouble again, but you can just see that he's really trying to clean up that part of his game. Nice to see they are trying to play intelligently rather than just throwin it up out there.
Exactly. Smart is always talking about taking advantage of matchups, playing the hot guy etc, yet he only ever applies that concept to Cousins and Thornton. Evans gets hot - benches him for a long period of time. Evans is taking advantage of Rip guarding him - Smart refuses to take Thornton out thus putting Evans at SF. It's so obvious that even you agree Evans should have played more and that Hamilton cannot guard him.
Can you explain to me how a lineup of Brooks/IT, Thornton and Evans has Evans playing at the 2? How come Rip Hamilton is guarding Marcus Thornton is Evans was playing the 2?
Best perimeter scorer on the team who didn't hit a single perimeter shot. Coach keeps him in for essentially 14 minutes straight. You want to keep Thornton in then take IT/Brooks out for Evans.

We don't know what Smart called. We know the point guards have 0 assists and have failed to set anything up all night. If you want to blame Smart for that then fine, but we don't know what Smarts calling. He can't force those guys to feed Evans the ball. Evans is tied for the team lead in shots. Yes, I agree, he should have taken more, but I'm not going to run and blame that on Smart when I have other more obvious reasons why he didn't shoot more. Evans has been super efficient, and I'm glad he's not forcing.
Can you stop talking **** about Garcia every chance you get? It has gotten old. We all get you hate him, as you tell us every chance you get. The guy played a good 7 minutes yet you still call him worthless. Next time you want to comment about him reconsider a few times if it adds any value to the conversation. Besides your rants about him your posts are normally worth reading.
