Well when he gets put in he's usually with a combination of Aaron brooks, Thornton, and Jimmer who just bomb it from outside and can't defend taller players. He's usually paired with James Johnson or T-Rob who both can't rebound against centers. So that leaves hayes to try and gather rebounds on both sides of the court against a center who is bigger than him 99% of the time. His defense is fine but he can't do anything else. He needs to be with Cousins or Jt to be useful.

ya i agree. if your gonna give him minutes, it HAS to be with another good rebounder. u would think an NBA coach would realize that

We got to stop putting so much power behind our dunks. We never seem to make those.

Errr, I was hoping for more but this is good enough.
It was such a nice setup to get him a lay in at the rim.

anybody who doesnt have the name Cousins on his jersey, is not helping us tonight

Just thinking that but TRob is taking his minutes and I'm not totally against that either. Depends on if you want to win or not.
JT was doing good work with Cousins. Has the most rebounds and points behind him but is still warming the bench while TRob gets some cardio in.

once again a complete fail in the first 5 minutes of the 2nd quarter. Kings would have a nice lead if coach didnt have the learning curve of a piece of cardboard. 32 games so far this year that the same thing has happened and you still cant figure it out lol
Yeah, I'm just going to quote myself, on this one...

T-Rob actually isnt playing too bad tonight. hasnt forced any shots and finds his guards instead of trying to dribble the length of the floor.

T-Rob all of a sudden looks better when he isn't relied on to be an offensive weapon. The T-rob and Hayes combination is the worst possible fit.

thats what ive been saying.
there was a game a couple of weeks ago where T-Rob came in for JT in the first quarter and played with the other 4 starters. and he looked the best he has all year.

so we survived the SSQS "Second quarter Smart Sabotage" with a 1 point lead. better than the big deficits the 2nd usually gives us. lets see how the second half goes!
From the 11 minute to 7 minute mark of the second we did not have JT or Cousins in the game. During that period we were outscored 16-5.
edit: They also took twice as many shots as we did during that period.
edit 2: Them 10 shots, us 4.

hahahaha they said Garcia can be the Punter
OK, so as much as it would seem that this is the case (and we have had a few major second-quarter meltdowns), it turns out we're hardly worse on the season in the 2nd relative to other quarters.
1st: -1.56
2nd: -1.75
3rd: -1.31
4th: +0.13
Whoda thunk?
