[Game] Kings @ Grizzles, 1/18/13, 5:00 Pacific

Problem is now that when Jimmer does actually get to sniff the floor, he's going to be chucking too to try to stay in the game. Smart chose his rotation... he just screwed it up.

I think Jimmer has better judgment than that.

That's true, this limits everyone's shots and keeps them guessing as to if they'll play or for how long. So, when they check in, they feel they have to score to stay on the floor. Then, you consider there's 3-4 players on the court at any one time who feel that way. It's all a product of Smart's idiotic philosophy.

 

[deekay2o9]

At this point in the season, it couldn't possibly hurt if we fired Smart, could it?

Oh no. The Maloofs would NEVER let that happen. Don't forget, they said he's our man. Like it or not, we are stuck.

 

[mac]

See, the annoying thing is that I'm about 90% sure we WILL see Jimmer in the second half. Which will be Smart admitting that he was wrong, again, only to have him make that same mistake over and over again.

Only 90%? I'll willing to say it's a 100%, if anything because we'll be down 25 by then.

 

[Tetsujin]

Oh no. The Maloofs would NEVER let that happen. Don't forget, they said he's our man. Like it or not, we are stuck.

It's not like the Maloofs have ever gone back on their word

 

[HereWeBoogie]

god forbid we play some 2 man game with Reke/Cuz

 

[HereWeBoogie]

so basically if it wasnt for that 10-0 run the awful bench lineup gave up, we could be close....

 

[The_Jamal]

Everything leads back to Smart. Yes, IT is struggling. It's on the coach to sit him down and make it clear what he wants out of him. We're getting no leadership from Smart as to what he wants these guys to be on the team.

 

[The_Jamal]

The hell was that Reke?

 

[treach1976]

nice way to ignore cuz on the mismatch underneath

 

[Henkel]

All our point guards, including Jimmer, are remorseless gunners who don't defend. At least Petrie is consistent.

I love the idea of a veteran ball handler next to Evans to help run the offense, but with this roster they need to let him run the offense more.

 

[spudfan]

We are trying to set some kind of record for shots taken with less than a second on the clock.

 

[Tetsujin]

Screw it guys. Let's hire Jerry as interim coach.

 

[Kings Faithful]

Even the freaking announcers who have to be careful in criticizing the coach... are criticizing the coach right now. subtly.. but they are doing it.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

i knew barely beating washington at home was a bad sign

 

[Glenn]

I can't believe Grant was making an excuse for Jimmer not playing when we are down 14 points.

 

[mac]

Oh no. The Maloofs would NEVER let that happen. Don't forget, they said he's our man. Like it or not, we are stuck.

Wouldn't want to hurt the value of the franchise right?

Oh look, we score 4 points and Grizzs call timeout.

 

[The_Jamal]

Getting Cousins some nice looks. Good sign

Makes me miss Beno a few years ago.

 

[Kings Faithful]

Makes me miss Beno a few years ago.

Beno was perfect...

 

[Tetsujin]

You know what'll really help our offense? Chuck Hayes.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

this team is getting unwatchable again

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Jason Thompson has come CRASHING down to earth after his strong start to the season. Hopefully this slump is the fluke, and the good JT was actually good JT.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

fantastic coaching move.

 

[jcunny33]

I can't believe Grant was making an excuse for Jimmer not playing when we are down 14 points.

Ditto.

 

[Tetsujin]

I thought Keith Smart was supposed to be an offensive coach

 

[HereWeBoogie]

oh man even Chuck Hayes is looking for his own shot. this team is in desperate need of a coach who will define roles

 

[mac]

On the bright side, we're not giving up a billioin 3s tonight!

 

[Arkitect]

I thought Keith Smart was supposed to be an offensive coach

His coaching is certainly offensive.

 

[Tetsujin]

Thank god for Cuz
