No, the refs were absolutely atrocious and broke our back before anything else did. The refs were HUGE.
I posted this stat in the grades thread. In the first half our 6 bigs combined for 48min of action. In those 48 min of action they were whisteled for 16 fouls. 16
And yet Darren Collison averages 6.3ast.
Our offense may not be assist friendly, but then again how much of our offense is built the way it is as a reflection upon the (very) limited abilities of most of our guards. Chicken and egg.

I see alot of throwing the ball into DMC and people just standing around. I also just saw alot of watch Rudy gay dribbling around. The only person I saw trying to set backdoor screens or cuts were Ray Mcallum, with Ben's Athleticism we can downscreen plays or backdoor cuts for him. Every is high pick and roll, I also don't like the plays where the Kings start off with DMC at the three point line holding the ball...
I don't think this loss can boil down to perimeter defense. A lot of the transition points came from turnovers, of which 14 of 20 were from Cousins and Gay. They were forcing things offensively because nobody else could make something happen. Also, when Cousins went out in foul trouble, nobody could do anything offensively. The bottom line is in this league, we can't be the 2004 Pistons. Defense is not the primary way to win games. A good offense with decent defense wins games. Tonight, the team had neither, primarily due to a lack of talent.
