Here go the Kings announcers making excuses
Something that isn't Luke's fault: we don't respond to what the defense gives us. On that Barnes post up when they ran that curl for Bogi, Giles was WIDE OPEN at the free throw line. Instead of sticking to the play, take the open shot at the free throw line. Why do you have to run the play all the way through if the defense is giving you an open scoring opportunity? Just overall poor BBIQ.
That's why they should seriously consider dumbing down as much of the playbook to high middle pick and roll in a small unit as they can. All year this team looks like garbage after practice. I think it's safe to say there is a correlation.
A month ago, I would have said I'd watch ANY live basketball games....not sure I'd stick with that now. This is just painful to watch.
sad and easier to defend especially with only two ball handlers
1,000? Just a guess.Alright how many times has buddy thrown
It straight to Orlando players
I don't understand. We literally don't have a player who can stay in front of his man on defense. Like where is your pride as a player and defender?

Opposing teams are content to double off the screen and roll or pressure high. Especially when Buddy is running it. Only a moron can't get open looks off of that.
Yeah, the quality of PnR defense in the league now is laughable to the point where it's just embarrassing if you can't execute a PnR consistently to score.
Maybe he wants to be traded?If Buddy doesn't come out shooting daggers from deep in the second half, I'm sliding over to the trade him camp. He talked the talk before the restart, and he hasn't shown up at all.
Everytime a player made a positive contribution Luke took them out of the game. First Brewer. Then Bazemore. Then Giles. Lead went from 17 to 25 at one point. Does he not see the things we see?
He wants to be Phil Jackson - in terms of his demeanor - sooooo bad, and it’s pathetic.When your team is playing this bad why is Luke Walton just stone faced? Dave Joerger was like a maniac on the sidelines. Every coach is different but show me something, anything!
A real possibility for sureMaybe he wants to be traded?
The Magic could legitimately get to 80 by half

His post training camp interviews already let me know where this thing could be headed. He always has this attitude of “hey, we’ll see what we can do” instead of just saying we actually WANT to get into the playoffs and will stop at nothing to do so.
This roster has taken on the personality of their head coach and damn near everyone is lax and carefree. For a young team that’s never sniffed any real success in this league, that is NOT the kind of energy we need to have. Period.
This whole Orlando experience has been pure Kangz all the way around, including me pumping myself up with a little hope that the Kings could be in the thick of it.What is worse we can’t even improve our draft spot. It’s so Kangz to tank when it doesn’t matter.
Calm and cool Luke must have some killer half time speeches.It will be interesting to see what Walton does to start the 3rd. Go big and try to pound your way back in early? Or go full tilt and gun it? Common sense always says gun it, but he's made his bed so he might just lie in it.
