[Tetsujin]

Why was Travis Outlaw even born?

[RookieOfTheDay]

Words cannot describe how disgusted i am right now. So much for turning the corner". This is shaping up to be the worst loss of the year.

 

[The_Jamal]

Get Chuck and Jimmer back in the game. Those guys got us back into the game

 

[kingjatt]

Bigger guys give DMC fits

If you don't like this, you don't like Kings basketball.

I think a big problem tonight, was Smart completely went away from the rotation which we played so well with the last three games. And while we were gaining momentum early in the 2nd, he once again massacred it with his substitutions revolving around small ball.

You can't constantly change the rotations and expect any kind of consistency.

I dunno, hard to get worse than the MAvericks game

Yeah, COusins is a bust. Should have drafted a true PG to replace our other bust. Jimmer is a god though

 

[annihilator_33]

on the verge of being blown out by a team with 10 active players and 2 of their main scorers out....unbelievable

 

[nebs]

Did they just play a Chewbacca sound after Kaman hit a free throw? LOL

[annihilator_33]

outlaw does nothing right...

 

[Tetsujin]

MAn, Travis Outlaw is great.

 

[Arkitect]

What am I watching here?

Its certainly not a basketball game.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Silver lining? We should probably be down thirty.

 

[The_Jamal]

And with how ****ing terrible we just played, we're only down 13 against a terrible team. This game is still well within reach

 

[Kings Faithful]

Stopped the bleeding at the end of the quarter at least.

 

[Tetsujin]

Whiteside is inactive so Outlaw can play? Really? How could he be any worse?

 

[kingjatt]

Not saying he's a bust but this has happened a few times this year, your free to draw any conclusions you would like from my observation but saying he's a "bust" is not what I was implying

 

[Tetsujin]

Were it not for the fact that Cousins and Reke even at their worst are better than anybody on the other team, we'd be down by 30

I know you weren't. I just like to play the role of overreactionary ***hat before an actual one does it.

Smart did so well putting a rotation/combinations together which were working over the last 4-5 games, and then out of nowhere blew it all up, went back to small ball, sat our starters far too long, and played combinations which a)have never worked for us, and b) haven't played together in a few weeks.

Now, it's not all on Smart, as our guys didn't start off that well, but I get the sense it'd be a much closer game if Smart just stuck to the rotation which had been working so well for us. Every damn game Smart F's something up in the 2nd.

 

[The_Jamal]

I hope to see more Chuck and Jimmer (with Reke at SG) the 2nd half. Those 2 guys made a nice impact in the late 1st, early 2nd and were a big reason we got back into the game originally

 

[Arkitect]

The big 3 shooting 8/25. Not going to win many games at that rate. They need to run the O and settle down. Defense needs to improve as well.

At least the Maverics are a good team. I'd rather lose by 40 to a good team than lose by 20 to a bad team.

to be fair, Smart didn't shoot 33% from the floor and be down 8-20 in the 1st quarter to a 4-20 team.

I don't know. At the time we were playing them, they were the Bad News Bears of NBA teams

Maybe we should have retained Westphal to coach first half of games and Smart to coach second half

 

[kingjatt]

It's like he gives our big three a short leash, if they come out cold he quickly begins reaching and messing up a rotation that won us a couple games. Maybe he sees some matchups that I don't but as far I see were getting worked by scrubs.
