Apparently we benched JT to "Shake things up" and then the "flow" of the game led to him not getting in.

Flow of game = Jared Sullinger looking like Kevin Garnett out there. Reggie Evans, Ryan Hollins, Derrick Williams playing terrible out there and getting out rebounded, Rudy Gay trying to guard Sullinger. Flow of game???????????????

I don't agree with your getting on Corbin about this but there was a clear difference in how Malone handled Cuz's emotions.

so Corbin should continue to sit over there and say nothing as Boogie racks up Techs and gets so frustrated that he starts pulling out wrestling moves?

Are you telling me he is not in the locker room around the players more than guys like Carmichael Dave?

What I'm telling you is that Jason Jones doesn't actually want to cover the Kings, and isn't very good at his job, and that anything that he reports that isn't both late and second hand is a very recent development.

Like I've said, turn on Boogie, they'll trade him.

They read this. Please stop trying to make things worse than they already are. I'm dead serious. Stop.

Im fully on DMC side. I didn't put the (sarc) tag on what i wrote. People's expectations on Boogie are way overblown. They expect him to be a friggin robot and he is still a young emotional kid who had his favorite coach ripped away. I don't get how people expect this kid to act like a team leader when this is the first year he has really shown he's capable of doing it. Give the kid a break. He's dealing with an inept ownership group who has completely thrown this team into disarray.

im well aware that he's a Lakers fan and that his reports are late and 2nd hand and i always make fun of him for it. But what i'm saying is right now, during this debacle, he's speaking more truth and more like us fans than any other Sac media person.
 
Didn't catch the game was at work but the FO just has to do something to stabilize the ship. Part of me thinks that Cuz may be doing it intentionally as a way to get back at management for literally ruining the season. Vivek you effed it up and now it's time to fix it. Fire PDA (Mr. I'm the GM). We are on the cusp of our best player imploding. This is not acceptable.

It takes time to earn mutual respect. Especially with a loyal guy like Boogie. An eternal coaching carousel is not going to work.
 
Some stats: Till Malone was fired, Omri Casspi was one of the most stable players, with 55% scoring, good defense and good team game. the new coach 'told him' thank you, but no thank you, I will find a 6th player that would score 80% from the field and left him aside. Now, after he understood, that he would hardly find a player in his position that would score 40% from the field, he remembered that he have got him. No, really... Is it too complicated to understand that you don't bench stable solid players for few games and after you lose the player, you remember to use him.
And it's not like the kings are the Lakers of the 80's with a gigantic all star in every position... You have got a 55% SF, athletic, energetic, good teammate... and you bench him just to lose him, rather than to keep what was good in Malone's era and to improve just the weak links.
So I'm sorry to tell you, that's a kindergarten coaching. But I really don't have anything against the coach, it's not his fault, it's the fault of the one which fired Malone.

Stability and solidity, that's the difference between the grownups to the kids... And the future looked bright just few games ago.

He rightly senses everyone is watching this mess unfold. It's just self promotion. Suddenly he had a hot job covering the epic disaster the sacramento kings have become.

Everybody stops to look at a trainwreck.
 
This is the worst-case scenario. Not only is the team playing far worse since Malone was fired, Cousins is now acting out his frustration on the court. Who on the Kings has the strength of personality to rein him in? Definitely saw this coming, I just didn't think it would reach a boiling point so quickly. The practice of leaving the players in the dark about the direction of the team needs to end immediately. If there is a plan (and God help us, there better be a plan) it is priority one to get Cousins, Rudy, and Darren on board with the plan.

I don't see any such thing. Which is troubling, because he is the only one reporting on this who is, at least ostensibly, an actual reporter.

If you saw him coaching the Jazz, you would understand. He's not trying to wreck sh** on purpose. He's just not a good coach.

I did, in fact, see him coach the Jazz: he had two good seasons, bookended by a pretty bad season and a half. He's certainly not a great coach, but he's better than this.

Might be true, but Omri isn't near the top of the list of our concerns at the moment.

I'm going to have to take back a lot of what I've said about Jones in the past at this rate.

He suddenly is giving us the goods from within the locker room.

I don't know if you really need to have the goods from the locker room to notice that. A Webelos could make that observation.
