[Game] Kings v. Pelicans 1/28/16. 5PM PST, 8PM EST.

Ive noticed that the people here tonight aren't really freaking out about whats going on. A sign that we've become accustomed to this kind of B*** S***.
 
It's so slap you in the face obvious that the defensive philosophy of sagging to the paint and then close it out makes us give up the most open look 3's in the league. We are at the mercy of the opposing team basically missing shots. It's going to be why we are going to be inconsistent in winning games. It's a crapty philosophy.

I think more than anything it's accepting that the Kings are back down to earth after their 5 game high and this is what you get...you get a little bit of good and a whole lot of bad.

A big part of it is Rondo's defense. Watch it. Very often he's caught in the middle of nowhere trying to play the passing lanes or whatever it is. That leads to guys getting wide open for 3. That's not scheming - that's Rondo not sticking to a man.

I remember, after our start last year, Kendrick Perkins (allegedly) made a comment in the Thunder locker room to the effect of, "I don't care what their record is, they're still the mother****ing Kings!" Every time we don't make him eat his words, I die a little inside.
 
Game Over......... This is why I try never to get excited about kings basketball, because I know that give it a couple of weeks and they still start disappointing you again and start a new losing streak.
