Kings @ Nuggets, 1/26/13

[Proof21]

I think it will cost about $525 million to fire Keith Smart.

 

[Glenn]

The Kings look bored. Hence, I am bored.

 

[Tetsujin]

Honestly, I feel like the Kenny Natt era was funner to watch than this mess

 

[Spike]

Wow. Just, wow.

Winner!

 

[Tetsujin]

After watching this game, I'm not sure Seattle will want our team anymore

With that my TV clicks off and most of the rest I bet

 

[wazzups]

Completely unreal they must be getting paid a bonus to tank.........

 

[Tetsujin]

Is it bad that I'm rooting for the other team to beat us as bad as possible.

 

[wazzups]

I remember seeing the news of the Maloofs in the financial world...selling their stuff...or losing it for several years its been obvious and its finally made its way onto the floor ....completely

 

[wazzups]

Durant would have a hard time winning if he had Smart coaching him

 

[wazzups]

don't blame these players they are being put in a terrible spot

 

[Tetsujin]

Travis Outlaw is awesome if by awesome you mean terrible.

 

[rainmaker]

Why is Reke the first starter pulled in the first and doesn't get back before half, yet is the only starter left out there now and has been for awhile, when he's not really playing any differently now than he was before?

It literally makes no sense.

You're trying to rationalize the decisions of a crazy person.

 

[Tetsujin]

If tonight doesn't get Smart fired, nothing will.

 

[wazzups]

If tonight doesn't get Smart fired, nothing will.

it will never ever happen this season 100 percent never he will have to quit

 

[Tetsujin]

it will never ever happen this season 100 percent never he will have to quit

At this point I'm rooting for him to accidentally board a plane headed for Siberia.

Keith Smart claims that he doesn't play favorites but it's obvious that he does. He continues to ride with the players that dig the large deficit hole the team falls into most every night. If that wasn't bad enough, many of those same players have given up already. All they try to do is pump up their scoring stats. Not one of them is interested in playing team ball or defense.

If this is the way the team is going to play from here on out, then please at least put players like TRobb and Jimmer on the floor for 30+ minutes so we can really see what we've got (or don't got). Even if we continue to get crushed and play no defense, at least those guys are more fun to watch than MT and IT jacking up low percentage shots and Tyreke refusing to pass on 2 and 3-on-1 breaks.

 

[Tetsujin]

Tyreke's been our best guard for a while, which means Smart is going to limit his minutes for no reason.

Smart is not the only one who plays favorites.

 

[wazzups]

Who is in charge of basketball operations better yet who hired that coach?

 

[wazzups]

i had nightmares before the season started that it would end up like this

 

[KingMilz]

Is Cousins a complete ****ing idiot? All season he shots mid range shots which he has little to no chance of making and refuses to post up or do anything hard wtf is wrong him? Hes developing habits that will more than likely make him an underachiever his whole career. The times where he has refused shots and passed/posted up/ attacked the rim hes had success like the team. Dude has not cared in to many of the games this season for his talent hes been a disgrace for the most part.

 

[Tetsujin]

Smart is not the only one who plays favorites.

The thing is, most coaches who play favorites at least choose the good players to be that guy.

As opposed to IT.

Are you an idiot? Is it Pau's fault MDA constantly has him on the perimeter and as a result is shooting jumpers? Is it Pau's fault Brown did the same thing, stuck him outside?

Do you not understand the majority of the time a player on the floor is where his coach wants him to be, based on that coach's offense? Sure you can blame a couple poor shots per game on Cuz, but to not acknowledge the impact a coach and his offense has, along with how he is choosing to use a player, while asking if Cuz is a f'ing idiot is pretty ridiculous.

BTW, he's actually better facing up than in the post, and the problem isn't him being elbow extended, it's that when he's out there it's usually a straight iso instead of running misdirection/cutters/faders off him, which I showed video evidence of in another thread. The use of our players is all wrong by our coach. That's who the f'ing idiot is.

 

[wazzups]

yeah who hired that coach?????

 

[wazzups]

coach karl looks uncomfortable like .... who the hell is coaching those guys? its pretty funny really we see it all the time tho lol

While I have no doubt Smart is a complete moron, some of it has to fall on the players as well, everyone on the Lakers has been telling MDA even Pau himself that he needs the ball in the post not shooting outside(which has happend last 4 or so games). Its not Smarts fault Cousins just plays soft and takes WAY to many bad shots and he keeps doing it again and again. Can't Cousins himself see like most good/great players what works for him? Like the way he played during that 10 game period recently where he was facing up and posting for most the game.

Cousins refuses to use his half hook which has been GOLDEN this year, I just can't understand why, yet he will consistantly pull up of the dribble and take a horrible mid range shot.

 

[wazzups]

the coach told him to stop doing that because it works....hellloooo lol
