I'll be the first to admit the kings lack a shotblocker, but how does a team giving up big games to point guards hint at interior d problems instead of looking at the man letting them blow by him. Did anyone see Milt Palacio walk past Bibby at the end of the game? How does Mini-Me get the hall pass every time? I'm confused.

Well said! If you are going to change the face of a team expect things to take time to materialize. Crap people, are you fans or not? Always so quick to cut into them. Real fans stand behind there team even when they are losing. If you only do it when they are winning you are a member of the band wagon.
That fact that he was getting UNCONTESTED layups is the real problem. Any PG is going to get by ANY PG in the leauge. What can you do to stop him??? You touch him you get a foul.
The part that bothers me is that most PG's feel they can even lay it in like that. That shows they have no fears of getting pounded in the paint.

This has been going on since we disposed Webber and is getting worse. Everything that has been great with exception of Bibby is gone - replaced.
The replacements might not be bad or might even be better in some cases but it is the mix, the chemistry that we lack.
Small things like Vlade's joking around on the bench or his back door passes. Webber's "huddle" and the 2 man game, DC's bullet passes and, Pedja's threes, Bobby's energy. You just don't replace that.
Right now You put those 6 guys out. I mean right this moment and they wouldn't go 0/20 against any team - ever. Not in a million years because Vlade and webber would at least create 1 easy shot. At least one.
You just don't replace the way we have been doing

Don't get me wrong, I am not saying RA can't coach. What I am saying is that I don't like his substitutions. I am a firm believer in going with the hot hand. K-Mart had the hot hand in the first half, Bonzi did not. Skinner, while not providing a LOT more than SAR was at least rebounding well and providing pretty good defense. I saw many rebounds that SAR continuously got out hussled or pushed around on. This loss was not just RA's fault it was every persons fault that played in the game as well (exception Ron).

Actually now that im done freaking out...we arent that bad, we played well tonight, until ron got hurt, when he got hurt i think it just kinda threw the whole team out, and when the jazz got the lead, it just psyched them out, which i admit shouldnt happen but it did, and i expect to beat the jazz on sunday
I will say this also. Everyone, including me, is looking for a reason why we are losing games like this all season. Ultimately I think it comes down to two things. 1st, not enough chemistry and playing time together (too many trades good and bad). 2nd, RA. It's hard to read RA really. I like him when we're winning and don't when we are losing! Ha, no really I don't know how to put it, I just don't think the players we have now fit with what RA is trying to do, AND OR I think the fact that he thinks Joe and Gavin don't support him anymore is affecting him/the team more than we think.

I'm not too let down this year, even with all the losses, I'm still excited. This team is in the middle of a total overhaul and has received their predetermined injuries, so not much could be expected. They are showing glimpes of heart and passion now. I see promise down the road. How far down that road, who knows, but it will be worth it.
