[Game] Kings @ Thunder - Sunday, 12/6/15 - 4 pm PST, 7 pm EST

[Henkel]

20 loses before 10 wins is pretty much a death sentence even with the lack of depth in the west this year. If these three game at home go poorly the season and Karl are basically done.

 

[Kingsgurl]

Kanter (is his hair sprayed on???) with the extra curricular elbow after the call....... of course it will not become Elbowgate

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

This is seriously frustrating the hell out of me. Does he just throw darts at pictures of the team to see who plays? I do not understand it

Why would he play Anderson for a while, even start him, then not play him at all for many games. Finally give Curry a chance, with nice impact.....then suddenly go back to Anderson? Really an odd situation

 

[lawlman91]

I like Collison and all but if you're gonna put in Rondo, take out Collison, and if you put in Collison, take out Rondo. Two 6'0 guys ain't working.

 

[Entity]

So Karl tries two pg's every game, he tries Anderson, he tries three guards even 4. If it is all trial and error why not try Moreland or go with WCS more with cousins when he was not injured.

 

[Larry89]

Cousins 4-14 shooting..

 

[KingsFanatic]

im so done with George Karl. Anderson over Curry? Switching everything on defense and creating mismatches EVERYWHERE. Offense built around chucking 3s as if we have the Warriors roster.

screw this

While George Karl is an offensive Mastermind, he makes poor decisions from a defensive standpoint.....Sure we may be near the top at scoring in the league, but that doesn't matter if we can't stop the other team from scoring.

Doesn't fit the "dribble drive" offense, apparently

[Entity]

Kayte talking about rebounding. Anybody wanna guess why rebounding numbers are down?

 

[Henkel]

Cousins 4-14 shooting..

Not helping that career low 42 fg%.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

I wonder if playing Anderson again, is the coaching staff's answer to the defensive issues? LOL

 

[mac]

I didn't say he was trying to throw games....but I think it has to have come up on how best to utilize the roster....and when I mean roster, I mean Cuz. Why would an NBA coach keep Cuz on the perimeter so much? Makes no sense.

Well... way out at the 3 point line makes no sense. But a lot of fans here seem to think Cousins is this dominant Shaq-like low post player who we can just throw the ball to and have good things happen. I don't see that. More often than not he just ends up getting smushed around the rim, or not getting calls and then getting upset. Nor is our screen setting good enough to get guys open for shots for Cousins to pass out to. He's most effective from the high post/elbow where he's able to take his man off the dribble without help being able to come over.

 

[theclash4u5]

Cousins looks like he could give a damn

 

[gunks]

I hate Karl-ball so much

 

[hrdboild]

I hate this lineup. We better keep making threes because that looks to be our entire gameplan.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Yeah, Cousins needs to forget about the deep ball for a while

 

[Entity]

Lantern schooling cuz. Cuz shooting threes

That may be true so far this season, it most certainly was not true last season.

 

[gman23]

Does Collison look more selfish this year than previous year?

He was like this last year in my opinion. Trying to be the big man.

 

[kingsboi]

it feels like to me that Cousins hasn't scored a point since the first quarter

 

[Entity]

Lantern = kanter.

I'm not sure he's been in the paint

That strategy works a lot better with #30 than #15.

 

[mac]

Thing is ... for all the talk of bad play from Cousins, Collison etc, playing James Anderson, if we just make our FTs earlier in the game we're tied or ahead. So is coaching really that big of an issue? Or are we just that talented?

Doesn't seem like much of a mastermind out here. This offense sucks

 

[Kingsgurl]

Yeah, Cousins needs to forget about the deep ball for a while

He didn't want that last shot, passed it to Casspi, who passed it back. At least he does have a good grasp on when it isn't working.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Lantern = kanter.

Are people actually trying to get that nickname over?

Thunder are playing like crap. A competent defensive scheme and competent rotations and the Kings are up 15

 

[Merdiesel]

Down only 3. Lets get this win guys.
