[Game] Kings @ Nets - 2/5/16 - 4:30 PT, 7:30 ET

[Glenn]

Unfortunately I think the issues are multi layered. Shortcomings aside, it is inexcusable this team is not at least .500.

I hope Vlade knows why this is happening.

 

[VF21]

Rondo to WCS for a beautiful bucket. Should mean WCS is about ready to head back to the bench.

I am sorry for the snide sarcasm, but I am beyond frustrated.

 

[hrdboild]

These guys are so talented. Cousins, Rondo, Cauley-Stein making some plays. It's a shame we can't find a way to win right now with this much talent on the team.

 

[gman23]

What, a Kings comeback?

 

[Peter_Gibbons]

Cousins has bargs guarding him and he takes 18 footers...wow.

It's becoming a habit now because that's what Karl wanted at first and now he just got used to hanging around there.

 

[VF21]

So, Karl calls a 20-second time out and then defers to one of the assistant coaches (Iske, I think) while he (Karl) stands there with a vacant look on his face as he listens to the assistant coach? Good grief.

And yes, this just happened. I checked again to be sure I saw what I thought I saw.

The problem isn't with them on the team. The problem is they aren't on the court together enough. George Karl will never give WCS the minutes he needs/deserves IMHO.

 

[gman23]

Need to bring back Acy to guard Joe Johnson. Too strong for Anderson

I'm starting to think that it's a real possibility that Vlade can get Karl to resign, either during the all star break or at the end of the season. It will help make the team seem a bit less unstable to a potential new coach.

That's my thought.

 

[Peter_Gibbons]

When Boogie hit that 3, Karl probably thought "Take that, Mike Malone!".

 

[Glenn]

He hit the rim. He hit the rim.

 

[hrdboild]

Guess Ben is back down at the bottom of the depth chart. Makes sense really, he's only the best SG on the team.

I don't know, if he resigns he doesn't collect the whole contract nor does he get that all-time wins record.

There was a time Keith Smart benched Steph for Acie Law. Scott Brooks played Kendrick Perkins in the playoffs. The Kings are right up there.

 

[206Fan]

Bogdanvoic has to be 6'8-6'9.

He's not going to get that all-times wins record with the Kings even if he stays the whole season

 

[hrdboild]

Anderson is a 30% three point shooter. Why is he spotting up on the fast break?

 

[gman23]

WCS, the bright spot on this team

 

[theclash4u5]

Pros:
WILLIE!

Cons:
Open 3 again for Nets
Open 3 again for Nets

 

[VF21]

I don't know, if he resigns he doesn't collect the whole contract nor does he get that all-time wins record.

If he is talked into resigning, he can be given the whole contract so that's not an issue. If he doesn't resign, I can honestly see the Kings not winning enough more games to improve his record. And that truly makes me angry.

 

[theclash4u5]

63 for Nets at the half....63......

This is a season high for them, btw

 

[gman23]

No freakin D by the Kings. Allowed 62 pts by the Nets, really?

DeMarcus is doing nasty things to Brook Lopez on the low block - showing his extensive arsenal and Lopez not quite quick enough to handle it

Aaron Bruski ‏@aaronbruski 5m5 minutes ago
DeMarcus Cousins in the post. Brook Lopez foul. Two free throws coming. Basketball 101.

 

[theclash4u5]

20 for Joe Johnson...

65 now, still season high

 

[Sluggah]

Nets season high in a half this season. #kangz

Of course it is. We're like that auntie who comes to visit once or twice a year and always brings the good presents.

 

[hrdboild]

The stat keeper for this game SUCKS. There are at least 2 blocks and 3 steals that aren't recorded.

 

[gman23]

I don't know what to say right now, getting burned by a sorry ass team.
