Did he really put Okpala in with 30 seconds to go. That's just weird

No I think there is a threshold for suffering. My partner really likes cyclo-cross and it's cyclo-cross season so f it.

Oh, the drama hasn't even started. Itchy trigger finger over there on the sidelines is counting down the days to say I told you so. hahaha.

The dude had 27 points on 11-19 shooting and led our team in efficiency?

Can I ask a real question? What offense are we running?

At least we are still .500 with the preseason
Unfortunately, I don't think anyone foresaw the bench being this bad. It was supposed to be a big advantage for us every night. Monk has been great the past 2 games, TD was good the first 2, but that's basically been it from the bench. Everyone else has been straight unplayable bad.
Hopefully Huerter doesn't have to miss time. We're basically back to being a 6-man playable rotation at this point.

It's a highpost pivot offense. Pretty basic read and react stuff but this is probably the most competent offensive system this team has run since Cousins was on the team.

What? Fox didn't play bad at all today. He played better than Domad for sure to me

He was coach of the year in Cleveland.

I wish we were at least 1-3 after tonight because I really like rooting for everyone on this team.

At this point you just hope for 3-9 in this stretch and then try to crawl out of the hole when the schedule lets up.
this isn’t super fun though.

And the defense of the bench has been poor. There was very little resistance in the paint.
Years ago in the 90s the team didn't have much talent, but they played over .500 at home and brought more effort.....going 0-3 at home is poor....they didn't bring enough effort on defense. in this game

The bench has talent and it's baby steps, the issue is how long this can last. No, this isn't an entire new roster Kings fans. And even the new pieces have soo much pressure from day 1. This is what happens when you kind of go all in this direction after questions of that being logical. Usually, when you have talent, make needed improvements, you expecet that surprise start to catch teams off guard early. It is still early, it's a tough schedule, blah, blah, but historically you want to be swapped with what the Jazz are pulling off even though at some point if all is right the Kings will rise and they will tumble once teams figure them out.

Honestly, feels like the surprise start came too early in preseason and teams came out of the gates with their guards up against us (blowing out the Trailblazers in preseason only to have them show up and play their hearts out against us in the season opener).

They are going to have to figure that end out. Sabonis isn't going to be your last line. Teams are really starting to attack him. Fox has stepped up but I still think switching pick and rolls and staying up is the only way to really be a legit defensive squad if you don't have a ton of defensive personnel and this team simply doesn't. In time perhaps they get a team scheme down but keeping it simple on both ends is needed now.
