Well and took Omri out. I know Rondo sitting at the end looks bad, but that lineup from last year with Belli in place of Ben was rolling. Oh well.
It's because we started feeding Cuz the ball in the post.
There are so many people here complaining about us not giving Cuz the ball in the paint.. well..we did exactly that at the end of the game.

Gay goes one on one at the worst time, misses and the clips go down and hit a big shot. Game over. Gotta play smarter against a potential championship team.

Yup. Right there with a great chance to win...and that sub decision made no sense. We end up with a pg guarding a quality 3 in Paul Pierce

Yeah glad we avoided Blake going off by not putting rookie on him.

If we can't miss from the 3 point line, why stop feeding????
Thats common sense.
Even grant mentioned it.

Yeah, meh game from Rondo. We'll see if he can turn it on.
To be fair, I wasn't really expecting him to stop PP.

I'm not really sure why...maybe it's the fact that he could play some defense?

It will if Koufos and Ben keep starting, then you throw in Rondo so it's pretty much Cousins and Gay who can score in the starting unit. Easy to defend.

They played like trash in the beginning. Made up a 15 point deficit to make it a game against a potential championship team. The future is bright kings fans.

Dam I can't help but be optimistic after seeing how they battled back.
Clean up the turnovers, feed the ball to cuz, and when our 3 point assassins are hot, FEED THE BEASTS!!!!!!!

It did seem like a pre determined decision. I doubt Pierce scores that bucket with Casspi's length on him

Yeah, but it has a lot to do with the ability of this team to shoot. Cousins started getting off down low largely because he had shooters stacked around him. With Rondo, Koufos, and Cousins teams are going to consistently play way off of the first two and that means one thing, the third guy will have to bail them out with his shooting. His 3's looked good, but c'mon, I'd say he went borderline superhuman tonight.

Didn't understand the peculiar decision by coach Karl to take Casspi out in the crucial moments, Casspi was great and was one of the players who led the comeback against the Clippers, he had a huge three-pointer and then he also grabbed 9 rebounds in the game and defended really well, maybe he didn't want to make Rondo frustrated or something that in his first game he will not be on the court in the deciding moments so he decided to let him on the court.
But I think it lost us the game, Cousins had a monstrous game scoring-wise but he had too much turnovers and really bad decisions making in the end of this one, the Clippers are more experienced in those situations as a cohesive unit and they were able to pull this off and get the much coveted win.
We need to look forward and be focused on the next game.

It seemed to me that it killed the rhythm and energy the team had when Rondo was inserted

Bellineli's 3 point shooting will definitely open up DMC's game down low.

Your right. Karl had a hand in killing the kings momentum.

Collison had a good feel going and so did Casspi. In essence, it was a double change. Take Casspi out and take the ball out of Collison's hands. It was the defining losing decision

We lost the game in the 1st half with our atrocious offense. Missed shots aren't the issue. It was the actual sets we were running and the intent behind them. Can't waste a full 24 mins against the Clips.
As far as the Rondo sub, Karl's gonna have to choose either Rondo or DC down the stretch. Can't play Rondo/DC/Marco and sacrifice the SF. And to keep Rudy out there, you're playing him at the 4. Just too small.
And notice the game changed when Cuz started banging inside. Wasn't always pretty. Made some mistakes but it changed the game. One of our brilliant journalists should ask Karl why he was using Cuz as a SG the first half.

Even though the Wizards screwed up my parlay, I had the Kings at +7.5, you don't even want to know how heated I would have been had Rivers made both free throws.

Primarily because DC has the ability to score so he creates more space...rather than Rondo who is strictly looking to pass so the team has to defend 4 players instead of 5
