Not a fan of Andre Miller shooting a jumper in that situation

 

[lwc]

The threes keep killing this team!

 

[SLAB]

So ****ing sick of watching the Kings leave 3pt shooters WIDE OPEN every single game

Without ****ing fail...

 

[Double-K]

Ben Mac couldn't keep up with Teague after the non-switch... ugh 6 points now...

Not a fan of Andre Miller shooting a jumper in that situation

Not a fan of Cousins not touching the ball on that possession, but it was a good shot.

Whew, I was almost concerned that we were going to win tonight. I want that top 5 pick and Orlando isn't winning many games recently. I just want to see effort and keep it close and we did that. Good job team.

 

[VF21]

Can't ask for much more than a good game with effort and hustle. I honestly didn't think it would be anywhere near this close.

Kudos to STA for playing this during the last time out:

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Wha? The reverse Rick Barry three point shot?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Stauskas going Full Shved.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Damn, that was huge.

 

[VF21]

Wha? The reverse Rick Barry three point shot?

I would have truly fallen off my couch had that puppy dropped.

 

[Tetsujin]

At the very least, it's been a watchable loss.

 

[SLAB]

Of course...

 

[Tetsujin]

Nik gonna Nik

 

[Capt. Factorial]

I would have truly fallen off my couch had that puppy dropped.

"No, really! I was shooting, eh!"

 

[VF21]

Hustle, effort, teamwork and pride. I see that and I'm not gonna complain.

 

[SLAB]

The choice of music just made me chuckle. Stayin alive, Stayin alive!

 

[VF21]

Somebody updated the playlist at STA. Nice to hear.

 

[lwc]

Cuz took the 3?

 

[HereWeBoogie]

welp it was competitive at least. Lots of mistakes in the 4th could have changed the game

 

[Tetsujin]

Rudy Gay iso, Rudy Gay iso. It never changes. #FireMalone

Did George Karl sub Nik Stauskas into the game or did Stauskas just wander onto the court and George was like, "Ah what the hell"?

It didn't suck. I can live with that.

One day when we are winning, we should come back to this post and laugh, but for now...it's so true

That's literally the first game since we relieved Tyreke from his PG duties where we had two players in Dre/JT where they consistently broke down the D off the pick n roll (which is how we get destroyed pretty much every game), which resulted in the Hawks having to rotate and easy lay ups/open looks. We desperately need a pick n roll combo next year we need to find as least two players that can consistently run it every game to get easy buckets and quality shots.

Cousins had a great "floor game" (aside from the foul on Teague) but his finishing just has to get better, there's no excuse that after 5 years in the NBA he still does not have a half hook (in particular with his talent), if he ever develops that it's pretty much over for the NBA.

Casspi/JT/Dre were huge , Ray was not bad.....Ben I thought was crap as was D-Will.

Really? They didn't have 2 of there 4 best players.....I thought playing at home and the fact we were badly embarrassed last time that the team would come out fired up to play.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Really? They didn't have 2 of there [sic] 4 best players....

And Rudy Gay and Darren Collison are what, dog meat?
