Hey the depleted Grizzlies beat them so... you never know? At this stage though I'm back to hoping for losses. Any rally could somehow keep Karl here. Lowers our draft position.
 
We've played some of our better basketball with depleted rosters. Unfortunately we are near 100%. What I would enjoy would be the game if two of our coaches were out with colds and Nancy Lieberman coached the game. Who knows, it might be the solution.
 
My routine is now have game on TV but not sit staring frustrated out of my mind in front of it - radio call sensible alternative. That way boob tube remains in one piece from numerous attempts this season to smash screen with various shoes, beer cans, etc. More tolerable listening to Kings game on mobile little radio checking in only occasionally to view ongoing nonsense in living color. G-Man's detailed call, overall perspective far superior to predicable boring Grant and Jerry banter. Oh, and KHTK radio post game excellent as well, especially hearing from host Jason R. along with usual sidekicks Kayte C. and Doug C.

If all that is available to watch is the Kings broadcast, the most beautiful thing to do when watching the game is to watch it on mute and take in the silence or play some music if you prefer :)
 
According to James ham on the pre game, WCS wasn't in the locker room where he always is before games. Says that willie didn't want to talk about his lack of playing time. Ham also said the atmosphere in the locker room was not good.

WCS seems to be even tempered. I guess Karl finally got to him if I am to interpret this correctly.

He needs minutes doesn't he? What's the point of the season if we don't give our young stud a little court time. Curry also.

Only 19 more games to go...the players have no purpose of even playing anymore.
 
Ham said willie was ready to break out in the second half of the season and that hasn't panned out. Coaches decision.

They start out the segment saying one of the most confusing things going on with the Kings is WCS lack of playing time. I don't think there's anything confusing about it. IMO, this is Karl giving a middle finger to the front office. There's no other logical conclusion in my book.

I have absolutely no doubt Trill would of been more aggressive on the offensive side of the ball, he all ready showed he can shoot the jump shot and has a nice hook shot to boot.

Didn't once upon a time Karl say that Curry was their best perimeter defender? or something of that sort.
 
Unfortunately I paid for my tickets a long time ago..... dragging my ass to the game even though I would rather stay home.
 
Welp, with that dunk I think it's time for WCS to go straight to the bench for the rest of the night.
 
So is anybody actually injured or has George Karl finally driven them to give up basketball?

I'm not watching the game but I was reading the thread and this stuff bugs me.

Willie WAS starting to put some of the pieces together. A mid range jumper here and there, that crazy gliding left-handed take to the hoop, blocking a shot on one end and running for the dunk on the other, getting easy dish offs for dunks, etc he was looking more comfortable but still having some rookie lapses.

Not firing Karl may have saved the franchise money but it has also likely stunted Cauley-Stein's growth and soured the locker room/team chemistry further.
 
OK, that's FOUR PLAYS IN A ROW where the Cavaliers have run a LeBron/Love pick and roll to force an "automatic" switch of Anderson onto Love.

I guess maybe we really don't have a coach watching these games.
