[Game] Kings v. Hornets - Tuesday, Jan. 2 - 7 PT

[SacTownKid]

Fox looks like he's moving better out there.

 

[Suicide King]

Skal with the double double.

He is playing a lot better this game. Seems more under control.

 

[Gliesian]

Skal with the double double.

I wonder if Joerger plays him in the 4th ( Not trying to sound sarcastic)

In regards to my Joerger post:

One of the ways a coach can **** up a team is irregular rotation minutes. Like any job, you feel better knowing what your role is. If you keep resetting the roles of everyone then you can junk that cohesive element up. I feel it's rather obvious there is no continuity in this team right now. You can argue, from a point of view, that Fox returning to the Starting Lineup after weeks of absence is a snag. Except, what lineup and rotation is consistent? What established system does Fox screw up? None. That's the suspect part. Why does Skal start or not play at all? Nothing aimed towards success works like this. Joerger signed up here with a top 10 player n roster and then that guy was gone. This and the rotation sabotage is why I give this thought.

I pretty much agree with this. I conclude that the team is tanking and that's why...but then we will beat the top 2 teams so I have no clue.

Not to mention that basketball is almost entirely rhythmic. I've only seen a few post game shows but I did notice a subtle jab from Willie a few weeks back where they faced the Wolves I think and he talked about how they only play 8 guys so they are constantly in rhythm. It was about as pointed as you can get.

I think one can be both genuine and sarcastic when questioning Joerger's rotations.

Bogi kind of getting short end of stick being played at the 3 a lot this year. I mean he can play it in spurts but he is a natural SG. Being guarded and having to guard 6'8 long wings is a tough ask.

 

[chief bromden]

Zach with 18 FGA through 3 quarters. Good grief.

hopefully we see some roster moves or at least the draft address our SF woes

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Skal with the double double.

Only 10 assists from the triple-double. Sound the alert!

 

[upinsmoke]

Batum has been the difference tonight.

 

[John Galt]

Team is just so damn mentally feeble. Really question my judgment giving them so much time and money. Joerger should be on alert. For real and you know it is so out of character for me to criticize him - but he needs to knock some heads in that locker room. Because this is some bullcrap

 

[gunks]

Don't be rediculous.








He's getting his triple double with blocks.

 

[John Galt]

Only gave up 28 in Q3. HUGE improvement. Fml

 

[SLAB]

This team is just so damn unenjoyable.

I really hate being a constant downer, but damn... it is what it is, isn't it?

 

[Capt. Factorial]

OK, only 10 blocks away then!

 

[John Galt]

What is that sound made when the last Joerger supporter exhales his last despairing breath, gurgling and choking on his own blood ??? There’s some word for it ... I just made that sound

 

[SacTownKid]

Joerger isn't the issue here. Our youthful roster is the issue.

So many things here. The real issue here is that the focus should be on the youthful roster and should have been from day 1. You'll notice just as many high teen minus numbers in the box score next to the veterans as anyone else.

 

[chief bromden]

Hey the Kings have a little life left!

No question it's a tough, if not impossible spot for him to be in, but a coach grasping at the straws of self preservation will just stall the whole franchise in the end. The ball is in Vlades court now and there are plenty of fixes that don't involve firing the coach if they are willing to change course with the program.

Typical Kangz.


I think when Joerger and Vlade talked about being on the same page, what they meant is that they agreed to lie to the media about being on the same page.

As far as vets vs youth. Rebuild vs playoffs..... who knows.

 

[John Galt]

At least they have the hot little curly haired dancer Mariah. At least they have her.

The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

 

[SLAB]

PapaG! This game is worth it!

 

[SacTownKid]

One thing I do find inexcusable are these Buddy as a decoy games. What team finds 4 shots in a game for their most talented scorer while using him to spread the floor instead of running that same successful quick screen and pop play they ran in the last blowout? Directionless.

 

[chief bromden]

Wow the body language of this lineup is morbid. Why can't the other 4 be excited for PapaG like SLAB always is?

 

[gunks]

PapaG! This game is worth it!

Papa G: the human victory cigar participation trophy!

 

[theclash4u5]

Happy 2018!
Here's hoping the Kings start off 2018 with heart, hustle, energy and effort - and the ability to hit the water from the boat, something that seemed to be missing for most of the game against the Grizzlies.

Well...........

 

[KingsSelecao]

Well...........

They shot 51 percent. But, 15 To's, compared to the Hornets 3?

 

[Gliesian]

So should we just move this over to the start Bog & WCS thread? Fox should "arrive" at some point this season but he is not ready yet.
