Karl's old hair cut, in case you were interested.
Well, the team is certainly playing with a bit more effort, so that's good. Opposing teams are taking us seriously again, that's not so good.

The Kings are just 2-12 this season without DeMarcus Cousins, who missed his second straight game Sunday. Sacramento’s defense, in particular, feels the absence of Boogie, allowing nearly 10 more points per 100 possessions when he’s off the floor.

The Kings got a nice win over the Grizzlies on Wednesday, but lost DeMarcus Cousins to a sprained ankle along the way and couldn't beat the Spurs or Blazers without him. They're 2-15 on the road since late November and now embark on an eight-game trip, which begins with a crazy, New York-San Antonio back-to-back, the result of a January storm.

The Kings’ assistant coaches got the impression from new coach George Karl that the coaching staff will likely change after the season, a source said.

George Karl's early days in Sactown are playing out in the same fashion Mike Malone's season started. Which is to say a promising launch followed by theabsence of DeMarcus Cousins, giving the Kings little chance to beat the San Antonios and Portlands. Especially with Darren Collison out, too.
