[Game] Kings @ Trailblazers - Wednesday, April 10 - 7:30PT/10:30ET

what in the hell is happening here???

Overconfidence.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I spent a large chunk of this game kicking myself for not going but if I were in the arena right now I think I'd be livid. Yes round numbers are absurd but 40 wins had a great ring to it for a team that has struggled to reach 30 for a decade plus and we are p'ing it away.

 

[gunks]

DUDE - Joerger announced at the beginning of the 3rd quarter that he was sitting the starters for the rest of the game. He's not gonna go back on that I don't think.

Didn't see that...

Also, why? Get us 40 wins my dude. This fan base needs it!

 

[sactowndog]

Lol... come on Joerger. Quit effin around with trash squad.

If we lose this game in a season we aren’t supposed to be tanking and what Joeger did last year playing Bogi unnecessarily....

I hope they fire Joeger on the spot.

 

[Folsomkingsfan]

So joerger prefers to rest his best players who will not be making the playoffs rather than try to get the kings to first 40 win season in forever? Really, really bad decision on his part. Really bad.

 

[VF21]

Nah. let them take it on the chin.. This is the guys who sit around been waiting to play all year, let em play..

I could not possibly disagree more. This is an embarrassment. I don't care if you're a starter or #13 in the rotation. You need to play SMART. These guys have made fools of themselves with just a couple of exceptions.

If I were Joerger, I'd be telling each of them to play like a freaking team.

 

[Tetsujin]

****ing give Marvin the ball.

 

[Ozymandias]

Na.

Maybe the classic "4 more years"? Like an elected official?

 

[SLAB]

Is Jeorger firing himself here?

 

[Ozymandias]

What a spectacular acrobatic tight rope walking d-reb by MArvin there.. after tapping it tohimself on the glass.

 

[Hoovtrain]

Joerger can kick rocks for all I care

 

[SLAB]

BJ Johnson. The secret weapon.

 

[VF21]

THIS IS NOT JOERGER'S FAULT. He shouldn't have to worry about resting his starters with the lead we had at the start of the 3rd. This is on the guys out there not named Bagley or Swanigan who have showboated, made stupid plays, etc.

 

[fansinceday1]

28 point lead............gone...............

 

[Chupacabra]

Turned it off.

 

[Ozymandias]

The Kings losing this game would be great for the Celtics too btw, instead of being locked into the worst odds in the lottery they'd be in a 3 way tie with Miami and Charlotte. Thats really the only really aftermath here, and it doesnt matter much to the kings either way tbh.

 

[NME]

OMG this team...

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I'm ill.

 

[Tetsujin]

Anyone wondering why Frank wasn't playing this season can watch this 4th quarter and see why.

 

[SLAB]

I cannot believe this.

Playoffs. Poof. Gone.

.500 poof gone.

Bottom spot in the lottery poof gone.

40 wins poof gone.

Joerger.... POOF. Gone

 

[Sluggah]

Uhhhhh...who BJ

If we can’t beat a team starting Simons, Leonard, Skal, Trent and Layman without having your starters play over 30 mins, there are major issues. Portland is literally playing a 6 man rotation with players who barely leave the bench

 

[SLAB]

Uhhhhh...who BJ

The secret weapon.

 

[VF21]

Good night all. I cannot watch this thread turn into what it's turning into. You guys truly want to blame Joerger? Look at the vets as they went to commercial. Buddy was up yelling at the players. That says it all.

I still love this team.

 

[1234kings]

Pathetic, another fat lead blown off. New coach plz.

 

[steelevt]

I mean what could go wrong with playing a lineup of 4 guards (including 2 undersized PGs) and a pf?

I don’t think it all falls on him, but Unfortunately it’s been going on a year. Blown leads and inability to close in crunch time. At some point, youth or no youth, that reflects on the head coach

 

[Tetsujin]

Joerger Kings blowing leads like the Del Negro Bulls

 

[Ozymandias]

Is the 1-and-done rule ridiculous and unnecessary, or is the one-and-done rule ridiculous and unnecessary?


See exhibit #2,845,347 19 year old Anfernee Simons who was playing basketball vs Highschool kids last year..

On the one hand, I agree. Everyone on the court who isn't named Bagley can be cut for all I care.

On the other hand, this is the typical Joerger pride/stubbornness that drives a lot of us crazy. Just get us win 40! He's being an *** right now sticking with these losers.

For the record, I'm all for keeping him. He's done a great job getting us this far this season. But at times (now) Joerger drives me nuts.
