[Game] Kings v. Clippers - Thursday, Nov. 29 - 7:30 PT (TNT coverage)

You need 3’s and you take out Beli???? Why

 

[Livinthedream]

I took it as coach playing Bogi at the point over Fox.

 

[VF21]

There’s no excuse for him to not play 7 minutes of the most important quarter

Not in this kind of game

I trust Joerger. I'm sure he had a reason for not putting him in earlier. You think Joerger doesn't want to win this game?

 

[Hoovtrain]

Buddy might have well not even been out there tonight....same could be said for quite a few of these guys

 

[SacTownKid]

I have a horrible feeling the Kings are primed for a “Lose 15 of the next 20” streak.

There are certainly on court issues beyond anything else. Randomized lineup patterns, reliance on less talented players when you are attempting to be the fastest team in the league, and an inconsistent pick and roll identity on both ends are all things that aren't helping right now.

 

[Sac.Kings]

I’m done. Worst coached game this season by a mile. We are down 4 with 6 minutes left and you leave Fox on the bench until the lead goes to 13. Well played.

 

[Tetsujin]

What is Willie doing? You need to know you're a lob target there.

 

[burekijogurt]

I have a horrible feeling the Kings are primed for a “Lose 15 of the next 20” streak.

didn't you predict 1-9 for the first 10 games? or was it 2-8?

 

[HndsmCelt]

Willie is looking really flat, that's the second Ali nope from Fox. Might be trying to let Harry have a little run

 

[Kingz19]

Kings have won the board handily
The assists to turnover is good
The free throws are about even

They just simply aren’t playing any freakin defense

 

[Mrkipro]

Earth calling Fox, earth calling fox...Fox are you there?

 

[gunks]

I have a horrible feeling the Kings are primed for a “Lose 15 of the next 20” streak.

We're already more than halfway through that streak. This part of the schedule was always gonna be brutal.

I haven't checked it out, but I assume the schedule will get easier (couldn't get much tougher) in December and the Kings will get back into a groove of sorts.

 

[Tetsujin]

Joerger screwed us. Killed our chances he iced Fox for a damn quarter. Stupid lineups.

Kings fans: "Joerger is a great coach! Kings need to listen to him and fire anyone who disagrees with him and his rotations!"

Also Kings fans: "Joerger's rotations suck! Boo!!! "

 

[SacTownKid]

I trust Joerger. I'm sure he had a reason for not putting him in earlier. You think Joerger doesn't want to win this game?

No way does Joerger not want to win the game. The problem is at the NBA level sometimes coaches think they are the reason behind the winning when in reality, the best thing a coach can do at this level is put his players in the best position to succeed and then step out of the way. We're starting to see that tinkering rear it's ugly head again.

 

[kingsboi]

Kings won't win many games if Buddy doesn't provide his scoring. it's vital for the team. Bogs can only do so much on his own.

 

[VF21]

Well, you guys have a good night. I'm gonna shut off the computer and just watch the game. I know it's gonna get uber-critical in here.

 

[Tetsujin]

Buddy has been bad tonight

 

[kingsboi]

that's a wrap folks...g'night

 

[SLAB]

didn't you predict 1-9 for the first 10 games? or was it 2-8?

Don’t remember, but I predicted 18 wins total. Hopefully we’ll move pst that. Lol

 

[Kingz19]

But aren’t the Clippers on a back to back? Why aren’t they walking through the game and down 30 points?

 

[Hoovtrain]

What really pisses me off about this game is they come out and lay an egg on National tv, and then you couple that with all the bullcrap drama being aired at the same time

 

[Sac.Kings]

Kings fans: "Joerger is a great coach! Kings need to listen to him and fire anyone who disagrees with him and his rotations!"

Also Kings fans: "Joerger's rotations suck! Boo!!! "

No person is immune from critique. He left our best player just chilling on the bench while JJ and Troy Williams were out there.

Unrelated to this is that Bagley is already better than WCS. Not nearly as spaced out as WCS is who doesn’t even recognize lob attempts.

 

[SLAB]

Oh good. Giles coming in with the garbage crew.

Smh, I’m irritated about this game.

 

[PacMan]

What really pisses me off about this game is they come out and lay an egg on National tv, and then you couple that with all the bullcrap drama being aired at the same time

I blame this on Brandon Williams. Too much effin distraction. Fired his ass already

 

[Tetsujin]

Bogie has played noticeably worse down the stretch here. Still not in game shape.

 

[Sac.Kings]

What the hell is going on with this team they better address it because this ain’t the same team that won five in a row. Everyone is out there going through the motions like they won the last 4 championships. From Fox all the way down no one is as aggressive as they were before and they definitely are not providing the effort they once did.

 

[SacTownKid]

There is a good example of the issues with the Kings offense. They should just go with the KISS method. Keep it simple stupid. They run a pick and roll and easy hoop. Next play they set Willie up 20 feet from the hoop in a post up. Sure he had the mismatch but jeez, we've seen teams literally run pick and roll on the Kings this year until the Kings stop it (which is rare lol). The Kings need to do the same thing. Go with what works until it doesn't work.

 

[sactowndog]

Certainly some questionable coaching decisions:

Extended minutes for Jackson and Williams
No minutes for Giles after a good start
Only 5 shots for Beli on a night he was hot.
Fox frozen on the bench

Williams should never have more minutes than Bjelica.

 

[SacTownKid]

Bogie has played noticeably worse down the stretch here. Still not in game shape.

Not having a set rest pattern is hurting too.

 

[Turgenev]

Clippers have played more physical and made it harder for us than we have for them. It would be nice to see that component of our game develop.
