Totally agree. I think Joerger is making it way to complicated on offense. I think that most of the time, we should just go four-out with either Zbo/Wcs/Skal at the 5, setting high screens for either Fox/Mason/Bogdanovic handling the ball and then have Buddy/Hill/Temple spotting up or cutting .
Nearly ever time Kings run such lineups, the results are great. Worked great again tonight. I really wouldnt mind finding a trade partner for Kosta just to clear our logjam at the 5.
And its not like you cant get creative playing here. Just watch how the Celtics play. Dribble hand-off, give and go, high screen. Its beautiful.

This was an interesting, and overall a very sloppy, game to watch on many levels.....That stretch in the 2nd quarter when the Suns went on a 3 point shooting spree got me worried. I actually, legitimately, thought that we were going to get run out of our own house at that point. Especially after the Suns couldn't make diddly-poo from behind the arc in the 1st quarter. Individually, we had some nice runs out there. Man, WCS has been somewhat pleasant to watch. It's almost like he has decided to turn on a whole new switch in him, and it's showing on the court. The rooks.....I don't even know if we can praise them enough. Z-Bo was money tonight; their bigs couldn't do much to stop him. I can't recall during which part of the game this was, but that one play where he posted and basically muscled his way through the defender and got himself an easy layup was absolutely money.
On a team level, though, we need to not play down to our competition. I honestly believe that, both on the court and on paper, we are significantly better than the Suns. Throughout most of the game tonight, IMHO, I felt like we were playing down to their level more than anything. We need to fix that.

I don't know about all-defensive team, but he does not lack in defensive effort. He is a complete player who seems to be improving. You notice when he's not shooting well he's fairly active in other areas.
The team just might be able to make it closer to my original predictions. If Hield can score consistently, that's a big deal for the team.

My post didn't indicate that it's on Fox, but with the way Fox is being used and/or lacking aggression, he is better off playing less because he is a spectator out there and nothing more. It's clear that Mason's strengths are being taken advantage of while the opposite is happening with Fox and that isn't ALL Joerger's fault, Fox is 19 years old and he simply may be lacking to grasp the playbook at this point in time, which is to be expected.
