[Game] Game 31: Sacramento Kings @ Brooklyn Nets - 12/29/14 - 430 pst 730 est

And the reason why the Kings have 21 turnovers and almost 15 less free throw attempts

Maybe... A lot of it is on the players themselves..not the scheme or pace

 

[kingsking]

Epic Rudy F'n fail

 

[funkykingston]

If I were to guess at the primary difference between my hope for the Kings with Malone at the helm and what the FO's "vision is" it would be something like this:

FO: If the Kings had just managed to score 105 points they'd be winning.
Me: If the Kings had just managed to hold Brooklyn to 93 points they'd be winning.

What are you trying to say?

 

[kingsking]

3 guys on Gay, would you think he's pass? No, it's about ISO time

 

[Merdiesel]

DMC's body language has got my worried.

 

[mac]

What are you trying to say?

I think he wants Gay to play center

 

[206Fan]

Will be a W

 

[kingsboi]

Ugh. I'd consider Eagle and Spanarkel to be a nominal upgrade over Napear and Reynolds, but hardly a joy; they're both in my bottom ten.

I don't see a problem with them to be honest, they are far from bias but hey...to each his own!

Well they changed what they've been working on for the past 1.5 years on offense and defense in the middle of the season

 

[kingsking]

Ben wide open for a layup on the inbounds

 

[BenThePizzaGuy]

This is worst coached Kings team I've seen since Reggie Theus and Kenny Natt. Paul Westphal and Keith Smart were bad but this has hit a major low

 

[kingsboi]

There's the issue. Awesome dunk Cuz. But gets schooled on the other end.

Our two stars need to start bringing it on the other end.

well considering they both put out so much energy on both sides of the ball...at least Cousins does that's quite a tough task to expect. there are role players for a reason but this team just doesn't have any good ones so there's that...

I'm sorry but at this point it's not the coach...it's the players just not wanting to play for Corbin and wondering, like the fans what the front office is doing. If they aren't serious about winning, why should the players play the same way they did for Malone?

Can the Kings trade for Lionel Hollins?

Our role players were playing defense. So were our stars. And then, they all stopped. I don't think I need to explicate further.

 

[BenThePizzaGuy]

Grant and Jerry need to stop being apologists

 

[206Fan]

Honestly the players aren't playing with 100% effort

 

[206Fan]

Cousins is trying to create but no one is making their shots

 

[Heuge]

The guy gay is guarding is shooting 3's!!!!! He's not even guarding real 4 dude.

Im trying to say I hate midget ball. We have three very serviceable powerfowards. Use them and let the other team adjust.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Well this sucks. Awful to watch. These days i look forward to the post game interviews to hear the players calling out the stupid front office more than i look forward to the games

#SacramentoPissed

 

[kingsking]

trash

they were also playing for each other....together.

Completely agree. D'alessandro loves to throw the term "style" around, but his cute little "ideas" are not fitting of this team nor is the current coach.
Malone really fit this team and vise versa

I'll be watching how JT is used. If the Kings are going to get back to playing defense, then that involves Jason Thompson. However, JT has lost a lot of minutes since the coaching change and the move to NBA Windows 8.0. The Nets also play a stretch 4 at times. So will JT get playing time or will it devolve into run n gun?

JT
13 mins 4 pts 4 fouls

 

[Capt. Factorial]

I agree with this principle, in the abstract. But, at some point, we're becoming very cavalier with Tyrone Corbin's career, and his ability to provide for his family.

According to BBref, Corbin made $12.5M over his playing career, and who knows how many more millions as an assistant and head coach, but let's say a minimum of $2.5M. Corbin has been in the job pool since 1985, and that says he has earned an average of over $500K per year since then - and that's not accounting for inflation making the early money worth more. Corbin's family will be fine.
