Somebody lighting a fire under WCS's ass. keep it up Willie! Need more on the boards though

 

[kingsboi]

Afflalo randomly coming in....laugh out loud

if he scores zero points a game but gives me rebounds and blocks...I'll be a happy camper

 

[dude12]

AT got to hit that open 3 dang it

 

[dude12]

Bench crew missing open shots and then fouling every time.....going to lose the lead gents

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Are we already in the penalty?

 

[PurpleHaze]

he had a legit beef

I know but took it way too far. Not smart. A wise coach like Popovich or even Kerr knows what game situation is and what can be said, what cannot. Since that moment Kings down by six, now up by six.

 

[dude12]

All momentum lost

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

This looks familiar...

 

[whoopdeedoo]

What are the theories as to why Willie is such a poor rebounder? I don't really understand it, he seems exceptionally poor at it.

He's not muscular by NBA standards. Doesn't attack the boards at all.

 

[Bricklayer]

maybe now we see why coach was concerned about running a bench crew out there without Temple. rudderless. barnes too.

 

[dude12]

Lawson?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Lawson?

At least he's hitting his free throws.

He's so used to guarding out in the perimeter that he never learned to box-out.

However....his rebounding has regressed from last year, so I don't know.. I think it's all mental with him now.

 

[kingsboi]

Cousins playing like donkey kong.....four turnovers to boot

I think it's more than mental. The motor and desire are severely lacking.

 

[Tetsujin]

It amazes me how Thomas Robinson has somehow managed to not improve himself mentally despite now being in the league for five years.

 

[funkykingston]

Kings need to figure out their rebounding issue.

 

[kingsboi]

Kings need to figure out their rebounding issue.

I'd say a good majority of rebounding is effort, so there in lies the problem for starters

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Kayte reporting Gay out now, too.

 

[SLAB]

I wish "Right Hip Flexor Strain" was code for "He's traded and we'll announce it immediately following the game."

 

[Tetsujin]

Jeebus, the injury bug coming quick.

 

[kingsboi]

Meanwhile, Cousins drops his head in defeat as he misses two straight free throws. Gay & Ben out for the game as well.

 

[whoopdeedoo]

Great. Rudy with a right hip flexor strain. Here comes a flood of injuries.

 

[Tetsujin]

I wish "Right Hip Flexor Strain" was code for "He's traded and we'll announce it immediately following the game."

Instead its just code for "he's hurt"

 

[SLAB]

Instead its just code for "he's hurt"

Which is bad.

 

[kingsboi]

Temple's teammates are making him look like a bad defender, or maybe he is just having his brain farts too

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Fight over a screen? Why would we do that, coach?

 

[SLAB]

Kings basketball. Always a pleasure.
