They still had superstar James Harden
SMH. He outplayed the other SGs on this team yet someone like you is still out for blood. Pathetic
In and of itself, that's not saying much.

Disappointed that we lost since I thought we had a good chance to take this one with all of Houston's injuries. But James Harden is just too good. At least we saw our bench fought back and we discovered Seth Curry has some game. Anyone see WCS did a pretty good job guarding Harden a couple times on switch outs?
True, but getting worked by Clint Capela and giving up offensive boards to Marcus Thornton go beyond that.
What the Rockets run is built around Harden. Kings run a system that doesn't account for their talent pool.

On the other hand, we now have a worse record than the gd lakers...
*ducks* I'm sorry all... here's the preemptive

We've become accustomed to a ridiculously high rate of incredibly stupid, clumsy, careless errors during high pressure possessions. We're just numb to it as a fan base now. For some reason it seems to be in the culture. Other teams do NOT consistently make these mistakes, year after year.
It was not like this during the Webber/Divac days. It just wasn't. The types of errors we're seeing at crucial points... you literally just never saw that with that team. They may seem physical, but they're not, they're mental. Ben just dumping a pass off in traffic with absolutely NO chance of getting to his target, on such a crucial possession? Absolutely kills the momentum. Imagine ANY guard from that team doing that... you can't.
It's right to call this team horrid right now. IT'S HORRID.
If only we had the opportunity to start a guy that could contend with Clint Capella...

That's not why. Lineup composition and offensive and defensive schemes were crap.

No. Not here we go. Here we need to tell the truth. We need perspective as a fanbase. It's not only the sheer quantity or even quality of our turnovers and defensive lapses... it's especially the timing, that's the telling part. Those things expose a mental weakness that for some reason has really persisted in the last 5-7 years. I was hoping Karl's presence and the new vets and maybe some chemistry coming together would eradicate this type of thing, but it hasn't. I haven't been overly critical in recent years, mostly because I honestly knew we were crap and didn't really care about anything until FO stuff was resolved.Well, it is. And now I care. And now it matters. So now I'm speaking up. For the benefit of those who might listen I guess.

.....no he wasn't. He missed a few shots..as well did Rudy...and Collison...and Gay...and Kofus...
He was a freaking beast on Harden defensively.
Come on... he played a good game today. He was the LEAST of our problems tonight.

Omri is a class act. Always sits there and takes it on the chin, with all the questions after a loss. Great dude to have on the team. Leaves it all on the floor as well

They are emblematic of the type of team and brand of basketball that I just absolutely can't stand. Nearly half their FG attempts (82) were from 3pt range (36).
And James Harden is one of the worst players to watch in the league. Gunner. Doesn't even try to play a lick of defense. Constantly initiates contact with defenders and flails wildly looking for foul calls.
If I wanted to watch free throws and long range shooting, I could simply watch the pre-game shootaround then go home and call it a night.

This is another reason I like Seth Curry. Values the ball, great decision making,...the opposite of clumsy and careless. Obviously a pure in game shooter, who doesn't fold when it's game time

I thoughts casspi and collison actually played well. Curry also except for his Defense.

What didn't you like about his defense?

Stop with the hyperbole. Harden is no "superstar". Superstars are great on both ends of the floor. Harden is a really talented offensively player and no more.
Was he interviewed in the postgame?

His size is the biggest liability. Admittedly he wasn't worse than anybody other the WCS. Still he got away with a few rakes on harden
ShastaKingsFan
All-Star
Yeah. James Ham always likes to go to Omri, because he knows he can ask multiple questions and always get some real insight with no attitude or sarcasm. Darren Collison is the same. Another class act. These are the guys I consider leaders on a team like this

I was at the game tonight as I have been through all of this early season nightmare. A few things that I have taken away from watching this team.
1-If Bellenelli can shoot the 3 consistently, like he's supposed to...he better start soon. He sure doesn't play defense.
2-We have NOBODY that can guard the 3 point line. NOBODY!
3-We don't get back on defense.
4-Rudy can NOT play the 4. Experiment has failed.
5-I do not have any faith in Ben Mclemore. He has a fragile psyche.
6- Willie Trill changes games...for the better.
7-Koufos is not a starter. Maybe a little better than JT...but not by much.
8- If the team doesn't implode by the end of this home stand we may have a chance.
9-We need to take care of the ball and do the basics in stead of trying to be flashy.
10- Not seeing any coaching improvements. Is Karl just milking his final days for a paycheck?
11-Seth Curry needs to play...a lot more.
I knew this would be a tough stretch, even with Big Cuz, but I had hoped we would be close to .500. Now with the Warriors and Spurs looming, I just don't know...

That's one thing I noticed at the game was WCS coming out and helping. Can't see all the rotations as well on TV, but I don't recall him on the perimeter before as much as I saw him tonight.
Watching him scrap was the highlight of the game for me.
