He's on pace for 34 pts, 10 rbs, 4 asts. If that's worked up, the rest of the team really needs to take after him.

The new players need to show up bigtime..

The best thing about that half of basketball is that it is OVER. Someone needs a halftime peptalk. I sure hope Coach is up to the task of turning this around. If u can beat Phoenix and compete with SA, you should not be down 11 at the half to the timberwolves. It's just that simple. Now come out in the 2nd half and prove it !!

I'd be happy if they showed up AT ALL
Rudy had a good bounce back in the 2nd quarter.
Kings need more help from their starters Lawson and Afflalo. They're not doing enough.
You know it's bad when McLemore is coming off the bench and still has more points that you. We might need to sub in Temple for Afflalo. LaVine is just lighting it up.

Afflalo has just given us nothing tonight and looks slow compared to the hyper athletic Lavine.

Afflalo is kind of being put in that Ben role of the few last years. With Gay and Cuz as go to guys, the SG is looking at scraps offensively. Have we not learned the routine yet? I'd like to see some plays run for Afflalo in the 2nd half to get him going.

Every game is different, some teams match up better with others and vice versa. Phoenix took OKC to OT yesterday. Minni is a tough matchup for us, they are very talented and now have a very good coach. Game isn't over but if you live by "well we beat this team, or hung tough vs this team we should beat this team" you are just going to drive yourself crazy. Also this is our 3rd game in four nights and Minni is on two days rest. No excuses but they are clearly playing one step faster than us which is compounded by their youth and athleticism.

That start was brutal for us. We started battling back there but every time we get into single digits they put us back in our place.
Defense needs to lift in a massive way in the 2nd half and players not named DeMarcus or Rudy need to start hitting some shots.

Yep. But it's all about defense at this point. Rotations have been trash and we're barely challenging some of these shots
Also, i'd like WCS on KAT, as opposed to Cuz or Koufus

Defense MUST tighten up. They gave up WAY too many wide open uncontested shots. If the Kings just turn up their defensive intensity, the shots will fall eventually on the other end. If I was Joeger I would be reading them the riot act. They came out flat and got it going a little in the second quarter. I'd like to see them come out with the defensive effort they showed in the first quarter against the Spurs and get back in the game.

Barnes and Cousins have kept it from getting out of reach. This team must be cursed at the SG position.
That stat they posted on NBA TV can't be right: there's no way that Minnesota only has four fast break points.

Bench
This is a near unanimous opinion
Thought for a second he might get a second tech for that. Remember last year with him and Rondo and the clapping incident?
It looked to me like Minnesota got away with two, there: Wiggins traveled, and Aldrich caught the ball on the end line, before that.

The offense should be "Give call to Cuz, Wait for double team, profit."

Good ol' Lauren effect.
I knew it was coming, as soon as it left Napear's mouth.
