The Warriors still run similar stuff and they've cratered also. It happens. Roy Hibbert went from drop scheme dream to out of the league when teams figured him out.
You can't be comparing the monolithic Roy Hibbert having his game figured out by the league with our switch-all defense scheme.
 
Nice to see Barnes be aggressive. He's like the only other player outside of Fox that can make that move he just did. The playoffs are going to end up being who can feed themselves like always. I was looking up the iso stats recently and didn't notice out important Huerter might actually be for this team. He's elite percentage wise but like Barnes, very limited on usage.

The Kings don't switch, or at least not in the way the modern teams do. The Kings play down into the paint and/or drop a lot of the time.
 
I can’t even be mad about it. Tatum doing his thing regardless of what we do, they hit a stretch of like 5 straight 3s and they just have more experience winning than we do. Try to end on a good note and learn what you can.
 
Strangely I got a good feeling about this... I think we might be going out in the 4th quarter with a statement. Especially if we felt slighted before this.
I hope you're right. I definitely see our guys fired up and motivated. And we have definitely seen some fourth quarter defense out of these guys so let's hope to see some tonight. Let us also hope the refs don't foul out every one of our guys for doing so
 
Boston better hope they stay hot from three in the fourth because they've been playing with house money for the last 24 minutes. If we can steal the momentum back the crowd will get into it and put some pressure on the refs to either back off or blatantly steal the game.

He's being more aggressive AND they're getting him the ball much more than in the first half. Hope we see more of both come playoff time.
 
The Kings need to do the same thing the C's are doing. The Kings have been average on D at times when they also switch into pressure like that.
 
Refs definitely killed our flow, but Celts D is something to learn from. They shut down Fox’s penetration and killed us on the passing lanes. All their dudes play tough nose D

Yeah, this is where Sabonis getting the ball inside on the side post would be a good idea. Relieve some of that perimeter pressure. Also, run tight middle pick and roll. They're letting the Celtics not even have to come all the way out on the ball handler.
 
Celtics are a good team. We weren't expected to win this one. More disappointed with the Jazz game without clarkson/lauri to be honest.

Yes, Celtics are good. SO good that the Kings shouldn't be expected to beat them at home?

Kings also played back to back and they tend to do bad playing at home after a road trip. The odds were against the Kings against a championship contender.
