I think I am now convinced that is a Maloof sister speaking at 42 seconds into this video.

Sure the coaching is terrible, but what about the gutless effort on the court?

Would you run through a wall for your coach if he showed he didn't want to win? Not starting COusins and not taking advantage of Randolph and Nene being out on consecutive nights is basically the coach giving up before tipoff.

 

[nickmcclure]

wasn't this team billed as an offensive powerhouse? one of the greatest group of offensive talents ever assembled in NBA histroy? this team and coach are pathetic.

Lol who said that?

 

[FaStRmAn]

Cousins had 17 pts on 8 shots, and Westy sat him in favor of Hickson and Hayes who have a combined 12 pts on 4-13?

Did you see how HARD Cousins was breathing? He looked completely winded.

 

[Prime13]

Wow its looking like it only took 7 games to have Chuck Hayes look defeated and lazy as Faried is just grabbing rebounds over him

 

[annihilator_33]

breaking news.....kings now shooting over 30%

 

[Tetsujin]

If I were singlehandedly keeping the game semi-close, I'd be pretty winded too.

I played sports my whole life. I never played to win for just my coach. I played hard everytime I took the floor because I was competitive and wanted my team to win

I like how the only guy showing any semblance of heart right now is the one that was suspended by PW.

 

[LakersStink]

From a thread on InsideHoops titled "Who gets fired first... Paul Westphal or D'Antoni?":

"westphal - i think he's already lost his players, he's making excuses and he doesn't even have an identity for his team, on offense or defense. at least d'antoni has a plan, however crappy that plan may be"

"If the Kings keep Westphal on board for another month, yikes. Things are only going to get uglier in Sacramento."

"I think Westpal will be gone eventually if they continue to have spats with players... Kings are real young so I wouldn't be surprised for them to tank this year to get another top lottery pick and get serious about competing."

Even non-Kings fans can see the epic fail that is Westloser.

sorry i forgot to put green font

That's because the substitution pattern is all f'd up. If Cousins started the half as he should have, he'd have rested late 3rd early 4th, and been fresh for the last 9-10 mins or so.

 

[Tetsujin]

This. Of course, I would actually want to be traded if this joker was my coach.

 

[LakersStink]

Outlaw just got outlaw'd lol

 

[cuad]

Why did they just chuck two threes instead of going back to Cousins?

 

[theclash4u5]

Cousins refuses to pass now. Haha

 

[Tetsujin]

Cousins refuses to pass now. Haha

Why bother when the rest of the team is just going to miss?

 

[swisshh]

Denver has nobody to guard Cousins. Karl should send a thank you note to Westphal.

Pro players quiting on an inept coach is not new to pro sports. I'm sure as a kid all these guys gave 100% as well. This is different.

Try comparing it to your job. Would you stay after work and work on weekends to fix your bosses mistakes, eventhough you always gave a great effort at your studies as a kid?

No no no! Cousins shouldn't have started the second half. The starters were playing so bad we had to throw in our shooting threats to get us back in the game. And if they did, then we can bring in Cousins!!!!

 

[Merdiesel]

What an embarrassment. Maybe the worst week of Kings basketball ever.

 

[Kings Faithful]

Pretty sure I just saw cousins mouth the f word at coach after giving him the cold shoulder on that last time out.

 

[jcwkings]

imagine if we would have signed Crawford, wow that would have been brutal. Tyreke, Thornton, and Crawford on the same team. wow i don't even want to think about it.

 

[Merdiesel]

He definitely said "Get the **** outta here." after mugging him.

Westphal is gone.

 

[Tetsujin]

This is worse than the Kenny Natt era.

 

[theclash4u5]

The Nuggets have 24 turnovers and they're up by 27.

 

[Fireplug]

This team needs to copy the movie Hoosiers and be required to pass four times before a shot.

 

[theclash4u5]

Outlaw just got owned. Wow.

 

[LakersStink]

Give them tacos!

 

[rainmaker]

Remember, Westy was the one who wanted Salmons and Hayes, and then said "our roster looked great, and we don't need to make any changes". And that quote is almost word for word. How about he take some responsibility for nonw of them playing well or fitting together, since it was his idea in the first place.
