The offense has struggled for god knows what reason. The spacing is horrible and there is absolutely no ball movement. Did everyone forget how to set a screen?
However, I don't think it's Westphal's fault completely. The Kings were averaging 108 points or something like that late last year and it CAN work.
A part of me thinks that the team has maybe stopped buying into his coaching plan, or have just lost confidence in the plays being set up and called.
The sooner they integrate Landry into the system the better. He struggled out there without Adeleman's offensive scheme.
I'm hoping that some familiarity with the other guys will help the offense flow a little bit better, but at this point I don't know what else to think.

i'll continue with my last post;
changing the starting lineup every game
screwing with players morale
no defensive schemes at all
no charcter on the sideline.. i rarely see him up and actually leading this team
why the **** would he start landry? hes never even practiced with us?
this coach is deperate.. thats why

i agree!
the defance, that's the main problem, looks so bad that i would say to the players i wanna see people bleeding, unless you are on the bench.
in the seconed quarter he left Casspi on the bench and let him play for 2 minutes, and it was after it was allready like 10 or 15 to the clippers, why?
he was one of the only two good players tonight.
Green had a bad night, but he should'nt freeze him on the bench for so long, i mean this is one of our best players, he is taking out all of his confidence, because now he knows that if he misses one he won't play, i wanna remind you that the guy is a soph and a talented one, we don't have many of this on this team.

spence had 3 blocks off the bench.. i wouldnt say he was the problem tonight..
the problem tonight was poor production by some players... we didnt effin do a good job on rebounding.. people take too much shots with nary a rebounder inside.
obviously jt at the 5 failed... bring back spence, and jt and have landry come off the bench.. this is no time to experiment on lineups you have to build a winning mentality before people start hating each other

It dosent matter if JT and Hawes are better then carl. You dont start a guy thats never played with this damn team or even practiced with them.
but now that i think of it, we have no sets for carl to learn so it dosent matter that we threw him into the starting lineup.
he did the same thing with martin. You need to work players into the rotation. but rotation dosent matter on this team cuz there is no rotation. Its all just random **** every night.
Just quit while you're behind.
Um, yeah.. Westphal is the last thing wrong with this team. He's a great coach... even though I would like to see some more offensive schemes. However, that's not the reason we lost tonight or most nights. The reason(s) is/are that we are young, inexperienced, growing, molding, maturing and inconsistent. Not to mention that tonight's game was the first after a huge team shakeup and the team looked lethargic from the beginning. So, calm down people. Game 1 of the future was ugly... but keep in mind the big picture, please.
