Dumb offense. No identity. Worse than last year. And remember last year was worse than the preceding year. (Is it a trend?) The Lakers are a team the Kings tore apart last year. They terrorized them. Not this year. This team doesn't scare anybody, and my concern about Brown not being able to coach on the offensive side of the ball with this team was realized in this game. Just a bunch of guys out on the floor doing a little of this, a little of that, all the while letting the Lakers feel very very comfortable doing whatever they want to accomplish in their scrimmage. Why? Because the Lakers played at their pace! Here you have a game with the oldest player in the game - LBJ - and the fastest player in the game - Fox - and you let the Lakers play at their leisure. How dumb is that? Instead of Fox terrorizing the Lakers by blowing past them at will in fast breaks we got to see Fox try to finish with 2-point jumpers on quasi-kinda-sorta fast breaks. What a thrill when they clanged off the rim. LBJ looked like he was 25 out there because he could saunter here and saunter there because he didn't have to be concerned about Fox & Co relentlessly running it down his throat and making him look like a washed 40 yo has-been. Brown better figure out what he wants this team to be. Pronto. And the first place you better start, Mr. Brown is: What exactly do you want from Fox in an offense that maximizes his and this team's full potential?
