Evans/MT/Salmons is a nice lineup.
but why Hayes for Cousins?
He did have a foul already. If anything, it will keep from getting an early 2nd. I'm ok with it.

Kobe is clearly hurt
Don't fall for his tricks. He can't make the comeback of the night if he doesn't start out badly. And a lot of credit goes to John Salmons for not making Kobe's night easy by any stretch of the imagination.
Man, we're a playoff team next year with some tweaks made. I don't care what anybody says.
Salmons is playing amazing defense, but Kobe is limping around. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if the Lakers play better with him out.
I wouldn't even count Bryant as being legitimately hurt until one of his feet falls off.I know you're probably right but I won't count Kobe out unless one of his feet actually falls off.
look at the lineupWhat happened to the ball movement?
If you look at the Kings' performance during each individual quarter, you'll see the team has a negative plus/minus ratio all across the board. However, it's particularly bad in the second quarter.
Overall, the Kings are minus-149 during the second quarter. This is far and away worse than any other period. The fourth quarter is actually their best quarter, as the team's only minus-nine.
If Kobe can play an infinite amount of minutes so can Cousins and Evans. We should be getting maximum minutes out of those guys every night and we just don't. Where is the urgency!
