Hall of Famer
Another game - another loss. Kings lost 3 straight and 9th out of their last 10 games to drop to 4-10 which is close tho the bottom of the Western conference. All this is happening with the easy part of the schedule. Kings dropped to 2-4 on the road and with 2-6 record at home the direction of this team this season is obvious. Kings are 2-9 in November - the easiest month schedule-wise and they will finish the month with Bulls and Pacers at home before the brutal December.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kings used to be competitive in almost each game last season. We talked about the team needing to grow and to learn how to close those games in order to become a decent team. Looks like we have to start over again. This team even forgot how to compete for 48 minutes. This team can't score anymore. We haven't scored 90 points in the last 4 games. It is so difficult to watch them suffer.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another season another high lottery pick. That was not a plan. I was one of the biggest advocates for tanking in the past 4-5 years. Clearly, we needed to lose to get better. Now, that we seemed to be there, we are continuing to lose. Now, that was not part of the deal. This season we were supposed to win 30 games and be the 10th pick or so. Right now, it looks like we are running away with the wors record in the NBA. We might not have the worst record in the NBA yet but we did have the easiest schedule.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kings are not in the slump anymore. This isn't a slump. This is a desertion. They don't work as a team, they don't play as a team, they don't support each other, they don't compete, they aren't well coached, they are confused. They suck a lot right now. I wish i had a clue how to solve this one. I don't know if the team quit on the coach. I don't know what changes you can actually make considering the lockout coming up. I just know that I won't be able to make myself watch this for much longer. I am sick and tired of losing without the purpose
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Did Evans quit ? I mean what the hell is wrong with him ? 20-5-5 - did that come to fast ? Is it the pressure ? It doesn't matter. After driving to fast in his Benz he has slowed down literary in every facet of his game. My biggest concern is that he used to try harder. He used to want it more. Maybe it is my fault because player I pick on my fantasy teams tend to suck or get hurt even though Darko seems to reverse that trend. Maybe we expected too much. Maybe he is overrated.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TNT and Barkley had a field day with us last night and deservedly so. Luckly I was under influence of good old german hefeweizen so I didn't get to upset about stupid jokes and irony and sarcasm. They will have us one more time in January when we play the Nuggets. We used to be the top team on national TV. We slipped to 0 coverage. Now, we started to come back a little but if this trend continues - no one will want to watch us anyway.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Very easy, relaxing game for the Clippers in the 2nd half as Kings decided not to compete anymore. Frustrations and depressing loss because Clippers aren't any good. Our defensive strategy, forcing Griffin to dunk the ball didn't work this time. They dominated the glass and it didn't hurt them that they turned the ball over to much and that they actually shot the three awful. I can't believe that TNT picked this game.

WTF moment of the game - pick our defense in one of 10 Griffins dunks
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bulls are playing well on the recent West coast trip where they are 3-2 with two more to go. Before they stop in Sacramento they will visit Denver. Normally, that would mean that they would be tired but that won't matter. There is no point talking strategy because what we need to do first it to show up for 48 minutes. Unless we do that, defense, rebounding, shooting etc.. won't matter.

match ups
Noah vs Kings front line - who will end up with more rebounds ?
Rose vs Evans - same college, same position but definitely different class
Ashton vs 3pt line - how ugly will it be ?
Asik vs TDM - just a hunch
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Evans - boooooooooooooooo
Beno - irrelevant
Omri - plays again but it looks like he doesn't
Landry - whole game is garbage time is Landry time
Dalambert - walking foul trouble
Cousins - weak
Cisco - inactive
Head - go to guy
JT - sad
rest - mateen
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bulls are 8-5 which is 3rd best in the Leastern conference. They are 3-4 on the road and they will look to improve that record. They are decent team and if Boozer ever plays again they might be relevant. Tdm will go to Asik. Brewer will get the LW-VC. Kings will lose another one.
