[Game] Kings v. Spurs - 2/24/16 - 7 PT, 10 ET
- Thread starter VF21
- Start date
Positives: Cousins second half, Acy, Collison, WCS, and Rondo's passing. Negatives: Belinelli! Mr. Karl, Gay, Rondo's D, Cousin's 1st half, McLemore, Casspi, Koufas. I would be very happy to have Bellineli sit the remainder of the year. I still don't understand how Karl kept his job. His rotations are pee poor. His management of game flow is awful. His rapport with the players is less than desirable. Finally our bench is either terrible or just used improperly every game (maybe it is just Belinelli.. 
) .
) .Marco and Ben lighting it up for 5 whole points tonight from our shooting guard position. Thanks guys. Enjoy the rest of the night, you've earned it.
I'm mean seriously. This **** happens ever night with these two idiots. I really think literally anyone on the planet can give us more at this point. These two just flat out suck at the game of basketball. Simple as that. They're below average at every facet of the game. Cut Belinelli and send McLemore's sorry ass to the end of the bench.

Your absolutely right.
Just to back up your point, Mike Pereira, the FOX referee commentator was on KNBR last year and a caller wanted to know what he could do to be eventually become an NFL ref. Pereira told him to go become a basketball referee. He said he had the most respect for NBA refs because of how fast the game moves and how hard it is to call a game. "If you can ref a basketball game, you can ref anything."

Well I dig up a little bit of history on the last 3 teams Karl coached before landing in SAC.
Karl coached Sonic's Payton-Kemp-McMillan-Schrempf era, Buck's Casell-Ray-Allen-Big Dog-to-Micheal Redd, and Denver's Lawson-Anthony-Nene time.
Except for the Buck where he got Ray Allen and then Redd, Karl never made a scorer out of his SG.
What's consistent though is that he gets his PG play at star levels that's Payton, Sam, Lawson, and now the revived Rondo.
His forwards gets a good share as well, Schrempf, Robinson, Anthony, and now Rudy.
And if he get a good big they'll get nice stats as well Kemp, Nene, now DMC.
However, it's quite his habit that his SG has to challenge his time against Karl's other PG. With again the only exception with the Bucks because Ray Allen and Redd (Allen's backup) are damn legit shooters.
Payton plays with Nate, who is a big PG.
Lawson gets round with Miller, Affalo, and Iggy.
But what we have in SAC is Ben and Belinelli who can't hold a candle to DC.
But DC is not big as Nate McMillan even Dre could guard SG better then DC, IMO.
So in all honesty, Karl got the worst other guard option to field in all his career.
Maybe it's time we get some better SG option. I hope it's not too late.

Why don't we ever sit Koufos and play WCS and Acy together both are athletic and WCS plays closer to the rim on D and both can every now and than swish a jumper. That's both a better offensive and defense combo for today's NBA.
The signings of KK/Marco and Rondo have been rubbish honestly this team probably would have been better keeping Derrick Williams/Andre Miller/JT and starting Darren Collison at least these guys fit into the current terrible system and we would have saved money without giving up pick swaps. That's like 20mil in cap space down the toliet that we could have used to get something else.

Acy starting is fine the part that's not fine is Kosta taking Acy and WCS minutes. I said way back developing WCS is the most important thing right now cause he's the only stable long term piece we got. He's the only guy with confidence I can say will be here 2-3 years from now.WCS should at the least be playing 25mins and that's on a day he plays as bad as Marco.
