If I was Jimmer I 'd prefer to stay on the bench for this one.
If I was Jimmer I'd be developing food poisoning at half-time so I could head back to the hotel.

This is beyond embarrassing. They don't deserve to wear the black jerseys. In fact, they don't deserve to wear anything with the name "Kings" on it. I'd make them wear gunny sacks if it was up to me.

I am not a happy Kings fan. If there is any justice in the world they will leave Keith Smart in LA and promote Slamson to head coach.,
 
I feel sorry for JT. Dude could have been an incredibly valuable role player on a contending team and made a real impact for them. He might not always be effective, but you know he's working his *** off every second he's on the floor. The problem is that we cannot say that about anyone else on this "team"
 
Is it possible to let smart go? I thought we extended his contract at the beginning of the season....forgive me I dont really have a whole lot of knowledge on how the coach contracts work.

Whole-heartedly agree.

While Jimmer is not the answer to our problems, not playing him his inexscusable. To go from big minutes at Utah, to a few mins home against Utah, to DNP, to playing alright last night, to being the only player who hasn't played tonight makes as much no sense at all.

But so is not playing Cuz more.

We have so many problems.

Sure, but we still have to pay him. Wouldn't be the first time we paid more than one coach though.

A coach can be canned at any point during the season. We will probably have to eat up some, if not all, of the remaining part of his contract...

He can still be fired. The Maloofs would just be on the hook for his contract - much like they have been with Musselman, Theus, Natt and Westphal.
 
I would have 100% put Jimmer in. We have 34 points at half. I know Jimmer could have made that number look more respectable. For the most part it isn't as embarrassing to lose by 20 if you score a decent amount.

We did, and that idioitc decision is probably why we won't/can't. Every year we give guys one more year than they deserve, and every crappy coach we can ends up getting paid for a year after we can him. Then of course because the owners are broke, and already paying one coach to NOT coach, they aren't willing to pay anything for the NEXT coach, and so we get antoher crappy one.
 
Off topic...

Rick Majerus has died. Man, I loved his fire and personality. He was a great coach. He developed guys like Keith Van Horn and Andre Miller.

There is no excuse for not playing Jimmer. I don't have a problem benching Cuz for his total lack of defensive effort. If it was done the right way.
 
He was benched the entire second right? In what world does it make sense to put him back in now. If you are going to hold him out for acting up, playing bad, whatever then you should do it for the entire game.

Please, Jimmer fans call for playing Jimmer despite his defense all the time. There's no excuse for not playing either more.
