[Game] Kings @ Clippers, 11/23/13

It he team played extremely hard and after that 1st Q, they looked great but I'm sure frustrated with some of the calls.
 
So frustrating to lose such a close game, especially against Blake Griffin. But silver lining here.... our young team is maturing and competing, our lineup is getting figured out, and we're in it at the end of games.
 
Did we not have another Timeout? Once the lob didn't work, the ball should have gone to IT. There's no chance they call a foul on that DeMarcus shot
 
somebody needs to make sure nobody gets fined after this. some media coach standing beside players and coaches, slapping away mics once they start talking about calls in this game.
 
That last play was terrible.

I am absolutely not going to criticize Malone too much but Cousins had just played the entire 2nd half, I think, and there were better shooters on the court. I was surprised. I noticed on the inbounds play the guy supposedly guarding the inbounder was shading towards Cuz so it just didn't work.
 
Damned straight! We outplayed the Clippers in virtually every aspect of the game: won on the glass, more assists, fewer turnovers, more points in the paint. If we play this hard tomorrow, we beat the gd lakers by double digits.

Isn't Kobe coming back for this one? The Lakers have been decent at home, I don't know if I see us taking it
 
Proud of the efforts-- so many positives from PPatt, DMC, Outlaw, IT, MT23 (DNP), Hayes (Limited minutes)...I don't want to jump off the GV bandwagon this quickly, but man, he just does not do much for this team IMO. His defense is too much of a liability for his offense to be productive. Maybe if we had more defensive stoppers he'd do better in our system.
 
not only did Diandre hit Cousins on the elbow, but Dudley hit him in the stomach. awesome officiating

Cousins is a meh deep shooter as it is. And you know they weren't going to call any contact that would happen against him. After the initial lob attempt didnt work, I wish we'd gone to IT who's our best guy at getting shots up off the dribble
 
I think it's time to start Isaiah, he just makes this team better and its not like his scoring brings down some of our other guys, this team needs Cousins and Isaiah to score big. Let Vasquez man the second unit where we can use his pick and roll play to get better shots, and he is not facing the elite guards all the time.
