Grant just mentioned, again, Barnes with the badly timed flagrant foul.
Just not smart. Good teams don't do this kind of crap.

I think a part of it was the team being way too reliant on Cousins to score in the post, establish in the post and by that time, the clock was all ready under 10 seconds.

Paul George set a career high in made free-throws tonight, tied his attempts all after only having 2 at the half.

Honestly, that hurt, but...that didn't lose the game. Execution was not there down the stretch, plain and simple.

Well about 2 or 3 weeks ago, he did complain about the officials after a postgame interview so maybe they heard him loud and clear?

Maybe he lit into them at the half, the dude is averaging less than 5 a game.

Hopefully that means they are in the bottom 10, I'll take competitive losses at the expense of a draft pick to help this franchise moving forward.
I think there's a good chance that Philly finishes somewhere around 11-15, while the Kings are somewhere around 8. That would completely suck.

that's because his primary game is jump shooting and when Barnes and Temple and Afflalo decided to nudge him a bit, that was too much contact to bear. Doesn't help that he is top 5 in the league in terms of percentage from the stripe.

I don't think it was a bad game from the Kings though, they held their composure much better than they would have in the past. With the way it started getting called in the second half I was half expecting a blowout.

Care to fill us in?

It would suck but I believe the Kings would still keep that draft pick.

Darren Collison, not getting turnovers into fastbreaks because one player is shooting 25 freethrows in a quarter

Yea, I often hear people knocking him because of his free-throw number and not playing with a style that draws more fouls. I bet he wished they called it like this for him every night! I am half tempted to check the stats for this ref crew and see how they are compared to the rest of the groupings.

Correct, 11-30 it goes to the Bulls.

In my point of view, it seems the Kings decided to play George straight up rather than send help and for that, he made them pay.

If we finish in the bottom 10 we have a pick period. Either ours or 76ers but if we are bottom 10 we will have one.

Ok I'm here to talk u down... haha
temple is quite possibly the most important piece in the Kings puzzle. Haha this guys never given less than what's in the tank and has lifted thru shear heart and hustle this teams capability. He has been ultra clutch many times this year on offense and defense and more. He is the gas to the Kings motor... Cousins is the engine but temple has kept things from going the usual total darkness plunge "if my offense isn't going I'm gonna quit" Kings
yes they would

I've been one of Temple's biggest boosters this season but tonight was possibly his worst effort of the season. Defensively couldn't do much against Paul George, offensively inefficient, didn't contribute much on the boards as well.

I saw him almost steal the ball from George with a few secs remaining and GEORGE bricked what could have sealed the game for the Kings. Temple is always gonna be the hardest player to rate. Little things like that matter.
Can we allow pretty much one of the only guys who never quits and gives everything like it's a contract year. To struggle one game?
As much as you sing the praises of Temple, please allow others to criticize him when he fails to deliver. Tonight wasn't his night. To think otherwise is myopic.

He wasn't on it no doubt. Still most anyone else being off like that would be an emotional disaster. He still made some hustle plays and still played good defense.
Never quits ... wasn't his night no doubt but still wasn't a epic train wreck.
