Playing without a PG in the line up again

 

[BMiller52]

Wow that's a horrendous call, Outlaw didn't foul him.

 

[rainmaker]

Outlaw is playing pretty well

2 bricks, a charge, and a def foul so far this quarter. Then left the guy with the ball who hit a 3.

 

[cuad]

The refs are picking on Outlaw lol. That wasn't a good call.

I'm convinced Smart's original last name was Clueless. Why the hell do we have this lineup out in the 4th while we're LOSING?

 

[swisshh]

Tnere's still no consistency on that jump-into-defender rule

 

[Nighthawk1]

Playing without a PG in the line up again

This has turned into Keith Natt's favorite line up

 

[Fear the Putin]

I just realized that shannon brown looks like a juiced Chris brown

 

[BMiller52]

Thornton with more shots than points-yikes. Not sure why Smart went with the no PG line up again, oh well.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Our whole team fell apart since the fourth quarter .. especially on defense. It looks like no one knows who they are guarding.

i seriously think sometimes he just picks players at random to run out their nobody can attach any type of logic to the lineups he puts out their sometime, still better than PW tho

I made that post before he started messing up though. I think right as he got the charge. BTW that wasn't a foul on him, he went straight up and straight down and Dudley went 3 feet in his direction. That was a pretty bad call.

With all the different kinds of random rotations and lineups, I wouldn't either.

What has Smart been drinking. We hear all this talk of having an established rotation, and suddenly, Thompson isn't starting, and now seems to be forgotten. Outlaw, is now in the rotation. We have no PG on the floor. I don't have a clue what the hell he's doing right now.

I know. He did finish the 3rd well. But then came out in the 4th forcing on offense.

 

[swisshh]

This lineup is inexperienced at playing together and it shows.

He's basically Don Nelson after downing a 6 pack.

 

[BMiller52]

Man IT has played pretty bad tonight.

 

[Bricklayer]

starters coach, before this is over

 

[Hadlowe]

Of course, we are now a week and 3 days away from the trade deadline. Pieces being showcased?

 

[rainmaker]

Get this lineup off the floor now, if you want any chance to win this. Christ this is frustrating.

 

[Dr. Spaceman]

This is a truly terrible and unbalanced lineup on the floor right now. Smart has been on a mental slump for several games.

 

[Nighthawk1]

He's a rook, i think this bad stretch was to be expected...

Going from cohesive line-ups when he first took over as HC back into PW/Don Nelson mode. GP needs to have a chat with Smart

 

[kingjatt]

what was wrong with the rotation that played well towards the end of the road trip and against the jazz? one guy can be benched one game and start the next, if this keeps up it wont be long until the players get sick of it espcially the "stars"

The very worst way to showcase a Kings player is to actually let other teams see them in action.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

I'd like a conventional coach one of these years. You know .. one of those guys who plays the obvious people in the obvious positions at the obvious times in a game. Too much tinkering. Get the starters back in now.

Okay, I chuckled at that one.

exactly! stop reaching for whats not there.

 

[rainmaker]

Can we please go back to Reke/MT/JT/Cuz starting lineup with Donte since he's now up for playing Donte? IT as 6th. The Reke/MT/salmons/JT/Cuz lineup was 5-1 at one point in Feb. They beat OKC, SA and Por. How is this better?

 

[Bricklayer]

same lineup out of the timeout
