[Game] Kings vs. 76ers 10PM ET 7PM PT

[kingjatt]

We have basically gone to a 7 man rotation to try to beat the Sixers. Koufos as the 8th only with 5 minutes.

This is pathetic. And pure desperation by the coaching staff. They know they cannot lose this game.

Exactly, this looks like Karl being desperate for a few wins while building nothing long term.

So Marco playing best he has all year and he comes out in lieu of collison?

 

[Chubbs]

Ben only playing 12 minutes makes me furious. 9 points in 12 minutes.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

How was that not a flagrant? Or at least reviewed?

I actually thought it was OK. He went for the ball, jumped high, came down a bit hard but nothing intentional, got a common foul. Seemed fair.

If Cuz had made that foul it would be a flagrant.....where is the head coach to protect his player?

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Belinelli has just been a little better.

 

[Sluggah]

I'm totally blaming this fiasco on you, you know.

that's okay. misplaced blame is what we do best!

 

[VF21]

I know it is faux pas to criticize Cousins right now, but he needs to get over his feelings about what is a foul on him and what is too much contact vs. Him and figure out a way to win this game.

I totally agree. If he disconnects that button, other teams won't be able to use it against him. Life...and basketball ... isn't fair and as much as I like DeMarcus, this is a lesson he desperately needs to learn NOW.

 

[Entity]

Win or lose Karl should get fired for this first half

 

[kingjatt]

Cousins has no legs from all this running, recognize it George, your a "HOF"coach.

 

[miltonap]

A small part of me wants the Kings to lose so some sort of change happens. I don't believe in this foundation/culture long term. Does that make me a horrible fan?

 

[VF21]

that's okay. misplaced blame is what we do best!

Well, that's just not fair. I can also whine and stamp my foot and feign outrage at the drop of a hat.

 

[kingjatt]

This team does not look any better than it did under Corbin.

 

[PurpleHaze]

What adjustments at the half tied 57-57? There are none or none that matter. If Kings lose this game I boldly predict Karl fired. Vlade replaces him as Head Coach for rest of the season maintaining his position as GM.

 

[LoungeLizard]

We just gave up 57 points to the Sixers in the 1st half....just pathetic.

 

[VF21]

Well, that was ...

...

...

Screw it. That first half was about as big a pile of steaming dogcrap as I've seen in my entire life. We are tied at the half with the freaking Philadelphia 76ers? Seriously?

If the Kings do not come out in the second half and run off about 20 points right off the bat, I'm going to ... do something drastic.

 

[Hoovtrain]

I totally agree. If he disconnects that button, other teams won't be able to use it against him. Life...and basketball ... isn't fair and as much as I like DeMarcus, this is a lesson he desperately needs to learn NOW.

I'm starting to worry that he's never going to learn this . He is 6 years in. He has the look tonight like he may get tossed again.

Could be. I wouldn't be sad.

 

[Im Still Ballin]

Sounds like be might just be out of shape?

The length people go to blame Karl.

 

[New Era]

I'm starting to warm up to the idea of Doug Christie as head coach. I think DMC would respect him and I feel like he wouldn't be afraid to make the tough decisions to get this team back on the right track.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

At the very least, this game shows that we can hang tough with Dr. J, Moses Malone, Mo Cheeks, and the world champion 76ers.

 

[dude12]

This team does not look any better than it did under Corbin.

Pace is great though

With Peja as lead assistant.

That was me in the IT years.

 

[Blob]

Karl said he cares more about flow than execution.

The Kings are flowing their way to loss against 2-31 team.

 

[VF21]

Sounds like be might just be out of shape?

The length people go to blame Karl.

And the length others go to in an attempt to prove their own agenda. We get it, dude. You think he's out of shape. And you're going to keep harping on it as your best shot at him.

Why not just post oos? As many times as you use the phrase, you'd save yourself a ton of keystrokes.

Pat Riley coached an 8 man rotation his entire life. Its often good coaching, especially when you've got a clear talent break back there. It was 9 with WCS. He went out, it became 8. Keeping it tight.

The anti-Gregg Popovich way

 

[Glenn]

Vlade and Christie as coach and assistant. It sounds desperate but of course, it is.

 

[jcwkings]

The defense was good when the second unit was in. The starters, particularly Rondo, Gay and Cousins have been terrible on defense, valuing the ball, and running back. The stupid turnovers are leading to Sixers easy buckets.
