It's not exactly a criticism of IT and it's not exactly a criticism of Malone either. Thomas is very good at what he does, but he's limited as a distributor. He creates looks by aggressively attacking the defense. Charlotte was sitting back in the passing lanes and using IT's aggressiveness against him, forcing him to make a tough shot or a tough pass. We don't really have any other options at PG right now so I don't know what Malone is supposed to do differently with the rotation. But we have a lot of weapons on the wing who were just completely overlooked in this game as our offense devolved into a two man game between Cousins and IT. That might work some nights but Charlotte is too smart defensively to let two players beat them.

While true, Rudy was having an awful game shooting. And he must have had three drives in a row where he turned it over driving to the basket. D-Will doesn't seem to get any offensive consideration period no matter who is playing point. When we ran that bench unit, Outlaw and Jimmer were chucking jumpers and I'm wondering why D-Will doesn't get more touches there when he's shown in his time with us to be pretty efficient scoring the ball.
K, I will, thanks for permission.
11-14 in the East...playing almost exclusively weak EC teams...
no.
They are marginally better but still a bad team.
I am simply arguing that we were terrible tonight and people shouldn't play the victim here and say
"Oh well, at least we lost to a good team"
I've been pretty clear about that.

We really need to get some defense out of guards. They got 7 points from Zeller, 10 from Jefferson, and 5 from McRoberts for a total of 22 on 25 shots. Perfectly accepted for the Kings. Even IT's poor shooting night could be overlooked, if the guys play some better defense we win this one easily. That period where Kemba scored 10 points in 2 minutes during the third is where I felt we let the game get away from us.
IT was awful. Gay was bad. JT played stupidly. McLemore has no confidence whatsoever and had a rough time of it (putting it nicely as he's a rook).
Cousins was dominant and I couldn't blame him if he felt like strangling all his teammates in the lockerroom, bar Acy, who worked his ass off and did well in his minutes.
