Yes, Knicks had to win a game sooner or later and yes it sucks. At least we are not playing Hawks or Raptors (on 25th) any time soon. It will get much worse before it gets any better. People say that losing builds character. Whoever made this up - must have lost a lot in his/her life because losing sucks.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kings are 2-5 (who is counting anyways) eventhough this team should not be called Kings. Some things one should earn. Things are so bad that we can't beat a winless eastern conference team at home. We used to own and I mean own eastern conference at ARCO.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't really know how to get players who have everything to "give a damn" every night. I know how it works in Europe when it come to soccer. Now it would never "work" here but in some cases it would be appropriate. When a team loses a lot first they get rid of the coach. If the performances don't improve a "committee" of hard core fans shows up unannounced at practice and tells players what is expected and what will happen if ... Usually that is enough. In certain cases in Italy or Serbia there were some demolished cars or bloody noses but the effort from that point was always there. Now, I am in no way saying that it is the right way or that it should be done. I am just saying that it has worked before.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
It took only 7 games and 5 losses for Pedja rumors to show up again. If Kings want to keep pedja - it is simple. They can offer most money and longest (6 year) contract. Pedja likes money more trhan Chicago. I am not saying - they should. I am just saying they could. Every other scenario gets very messy. Last year Kings were couple moves away from lottey. Now, Kings are one move away from a high lottery pick. We still did not deal with Webber's trade. Last thing we need is another "garbage" trade.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pedja has assumed Webber's role at this point of time because he can't do much right at the moment. But then again he asked for it. Situation is very simple. If Your team is losing - Your numbers are never enough. And the team is losing - badly. And it is still very obvious. Kings will win if and only if Pedja and Mike play well at the same time. while everyone else contributes - they don't really matter that much.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Princeton offense is only good if one has right people. We don't. Not anymore. Copies are never good as the originals. No matter how identical they seam to be - they are not. Vlade >>>>>>>> Miller and Webber >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> SAR. End of story. Last night Brad & SAR 12 turnovers together. I don't have the numbers but I would be shocked if Vlade and Webber had total of 12 TOs twice in 6 years that they played together. There is no substitute for talent. At the moment princtone offense is in the coma and it is maybe time to pull the plug and end the suffering. No need to ruin so many great memories
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our "core" is having a meldown that goes beyond "chernobyl" (no offense to anyone here). We are losing because as bad as those 3 play they are the only players that are acustomed to winning. The new guys don't really know how. It is a bad mix which is either going to explode or implode. Neither one is really good.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We lost to Knicks and Knicks still suck. They shot 50% + for the first and maybe only time this season. I say maybe because we have to play them again in NY. We commited 21 TO's, missed tons of FTs and allowed 52 pts in the paint (or so). These are the numbers common for Hawks and Raptors. Sad.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
We play Jazz next that is without AK47. I would like to say that we will win but I will believe it once I see it. It is a Sloan team and it will fight and if we give them everything we gave Knicks - they will beat us.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mike - any time now Mike. Pathetic so far. Allstar Wannabe.
Pedja - 31 - 8 in a LOSING effort. Maybe Harpering can get the best out of him again.
Brad - 2 rebounds in the last game ? for a 5 footer playing center - 2 rebounds shoul be a statistical error.
SAR - Turnovers and missed FTs are concerning. Still playing as well as we can expect from him.
Bonzi - consistantly inconsistant. At least - his contract expires.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bench - scored as much as Crawford (16) and got outscored by Frye (19). Bench players are supposed to bring energy into game and not to suck. Now we have some youn players that will need time. We also have experienced players. We just can't get rid of them because nobody wants them.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
RA - clearly suffering out there. For how long ? Is he supposed to beg players to "give a damn"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jazz- play like they always do. As bad as they are without AK - thay are good enough to win if we "let" them. As always - someone will have a career night. Let's just hope that Ostertag obeys dress code
.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go Bucks !
