38 points on 31 shots, a superduper awesome assist to turnover ratio of 6 to 5, including one to seal the game for the Pacers. Yep. Baseless bashing.

Well, I wasn't expecting a win, only hoped to be competitive, and they were. The Kings pushed the league's winningest team to OT, and did it without our two best players. These Kings are a work in progress, so as long as they're fighting hard like they did tonight, I'll be okay with this loss.

Glad you don't either...
I think the same thing that afflicted Vogel in the first half affected Malone down the stretch: all of his go-to plays involve our uncrowned All-Star Center. And, without him being on the floor, he apparently didn't have a Plan B, so he ran the plays with Aaron Gray.

Played well until crunchtime. Then became one man show. Cost us the game or at least a better chance to win the game. (minus the crap call.)

The Pacers barely shot 40% from the field today
It's not like they had an amazing game either.
If it wasn't for Thornton's lucky magical game, it would have been a blowout...

Yeah. it felt like IT took all the shots from the fourth quarter onwards. I have absolutely no problem with first half IT but I could do without second half/OT IT .
I'm sorry but they had Thornton slaughtered on those plays. The rest of the team sucked ass. Who the hell is IT supposed to give the ball to?? DWill would have just turned it over. Gay would have missed the easiest hookshot of his life. Landry would probably just brick it. He tried to get the ball to Thornton, but the Pacer's d had him covered up. When he did give it to Gray he missed an easy hookshot..

Gray played Hibbert even I thought, it's just one guy plays under a different set on rules when it comes to contact around the paint.
Why the hell not? I mean, you don't hand the ball to Williams or Gray and say, "Makes something happen," but is asking your point guard to create shots for his teammates really too much to ask?
Who the hell was IT supposed to give it to??? Did you not see how well Thornton was being covered?? I was probably the least supportive of IT, but this game was purely on the other players. Pathetic that no one else other than IT and Thornton contributed.
Missing the point. Literally.
blah blah blah. 10-43 shooting from the role guys. Think that might have had something to do with the assist total? Of course not.
Let's run more plays for D-will. Or let Aaron Gray create in the high post. Those worked so well right? Or somehow get MT out of the clutches of Paul George, who has 7 inches on MT and is a top 3 perimeter defender in the league.
So. yep. Absolutely baseless bashing. Because MT and IT did what we needed them to do tonight to have a chance to win. In a game we had absolutely no business even competing in.

I honestly think we could have posted him up more earlier to get his confidents up when they switched George onto Thornton. He had a massive speed advatnage over Granger and a big size advantage over Lance. Seeing as JT had nothing going in the paint going to D-Will a bit there to provide an option might not have been a bad idea.
Why would IT give the ball to Gray?? He missed an easy hookshot and they would have just fouled him anyways. Williams has the one of the most horrible bball iq on this team. He showed it tonight. He couldn't get his game going at all, so let's give him a player who was clearly struggling tonight a big time shot after he just attempted to be the hero with IT wide open. The only person I would have wanted to take that shot outside of IT was Thornton. They had him covered.

Wow. Some of the comments here...just wow.
what point?? why give Gray, Williams, and Landry a clutch shot when they couldn't make anything tonight? IT and Thornton were our only hope in tonight's win.

Exactly when you do a pick and roll how bout you try passing to the open big man rolling or a shooter on the wings instead of shooting every ****ing time.
"Wow that's a good shot by IT; a good shoot for the pacers"
"IT isn't looking to pass just double him"
Pacers announcers said that more than once

We aren't attacking his lack of assists or turnover numbers. We're attacking the manner in which he got them.
IT floundering in cruchtime is becoming a common theme for the Kings this season. Sorta like the anti-

That looked like the easiest strip Paul George has ever made in his life
I'm pretty sure D-Will tried a PnR with Gray who couldn't even catch the ball. Never attack the rim against the Pacers unless your name is DMC on the kings is what we should have learned tonight.

Dude, that's why you have teammates. I'm guessing you would take carmelo over lebron cause that's what melo does, shoot no matter what.
