I honestly think Malone wanted to save their fouls for the second half, hoping the team offense would improve...
Aside from IT, who possesses this skill? When shots don't fall, this is what happens with a jump shooting team.

Cousins/Greivis = 8/16
Everybody else = 7/31

yeah, that's a legit possibility, but the lineups without them have been digging far too deep a hole and it's been basically the Kings' bench unit plus GV and Luc versus their starters, which is just a recipe for disaster. gotta roll the dice there with the starting frontcourt, imo.

I think that was exactly it. He didn't put Jason in because he didn't trust him not to get his 3rd, and you will notice in the last 2 games, ever since Cuz picked up his 3rd with only a minute to go in the first half against the Nets, Malone has been pulling him with 1+min to go before half to make sure he has those extra fouls after halftime.
So the goal was just to survive until half, and then come out in the second half with both Cuz and JT with enough fouls to play freely, see if you can make a run. I have to half protest with JT -- smallball killed us last game and again we're tiny this time. But I do understand, and it is a valid coaching strategy.

I'm still happy that Salmons didn't start. It's the small victories that count for.....something. This team is going to start caving into itself if this continues for a few more games.
We'll see now if they can fight their way back into this game. Not totally out of reach.

true. although a 13-point deficit in this game does feel remarkably similar to a 25-point deficit in most other games

That was nothing short of a awful moral killing shot by Cousins,come on we can get a better shot than that.

Cmom.
GV loses Conley on one end, turnover on the other. He reminds me of Beno in that when he makes a few bad plays, they look bad.

1 minute, 5 seconds, already we have to stop play and talk it over. This is why it pays to be a fan of the NBA draft.
The one thing that you can hang your hat on, as a Kings Fan, is that Memphis isn't really a good enough team to run away with this game: here's hoping that Malone's decision to hold Cousins out at the end of the first half pays off.

Ben can't dribble. Luc can't dribble. Thompson can't dribble.
Well, at least we've got that going for us.BREAKING NEWS FROM COURTSIDE: The Little Princesses got DMC and IT to wave at them right before the start of the third quarter.

Conley starting to light us up. I was worried about that one going in.

At least we're not saving our timeouts for the end of the game (when we'll be down 40).
