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

If anybody asks why OKC went on a run here to get back up. I remind you of the lineup choice of our coach.. Collison, Anderson, bellinelli, casspi, and cousins. Rudy, ben, rondo, kosta all sitting
 
How hurt IS Boogie?

Inventory:
1. Achilles that is likely still somewhat sore.
2. Back muscle that could easily still hurt when he moves the wrong way.
3. "Lower solar plexus" injury that I cannot speak to with any degree of accuracy.

Nah, he should be fine.
 
why is kd being guarded by our point guards
Because we got 2-3 pg's out there at all times. With screens set eventually it's going to happen. In fact a smart team sees the small lineup and takes advantage of it. It's why San Antonio is still successful with old players because they aren't afraid to stay big against small. Stupid coaches stay small
 
Meaning that nobody should need to see stats in order to know and/or believe that; it's fairly self-evident.

Okay, time out. I don't think it's a requirement for a Kings fan to necessarily know all the stat details, such as where in the standings the Kings are as far as points scored. Not everyone pours over stats the way some of you do. I honestly didn't know we were that high, either. And I refuse to believe my basketball acumen has suffered because of it.

I think the OP's point was valid. Since it's backed up by stats that it's not our offense that's the problem, then the damned defense is craptastic.
 
Somebody explain this to me. The point of all the small players is to spread the floor and isolate cousins on the block 1 on 1. But cousins is on the perimeter as well. So where is going with this small lineup an advantage when your not using it to isolate the best big man in the NBA?
 
I am going on record as predicting a Kings win. Why? For the simple reason I have a community organization meeting at 6 p.m., meaning I have to leave in a few minutes and will, therefore, not be here for most of the second half. I've considered not going, but it's tough when you're the president of the stupid organization and the whole meeting is a kind of "State of the group" affair where my presentation is the only reason for said meeting. And just skipping it is out of the question as these people all know where I live and would not hesitate to come get me if I just don't show up.

GO KINGS!!

What I'm saying is that, if you've seen all the games, it should be obvious that the problem is the defense, even if they'd had the scoreboard turned off for all of the games.

I'm kind of taken aback by the notion of "See, these stats indicate that the defense is bad!" I didn't need to see any stats to know that, already. I'm kind of troubled by the idea that there is somebody who's seen all or most the games, and didn't actually believe that the defense was bad, until after somebody showed them some numbers.

Oh, good question. I'd sure like for someone to ask Karl during the post-game...but they won't. :p
