[Game] Kings @ Timberwolves - Monday, Dec. 17 - 5PT/8ET

Honestly this might be joerger's FU to the league giving us hella b2b. This is 3 games in 4 nights and flying from Dallas to minny overnight is pretty far. Maybe starters asked for a day off and coach gave it to them for buddy's bday.

A ha, get that drank on early? haha.

Maybe Fox will get the DNP - FU next game. :D

Hall of Famer
Can you imagine the TWolves fan if the Kings do manage to come back and win this? I doubt if Thibs would make it out of the arena alive.
After that 2nd quarter I can't imagine that Thibs is in any danger.

But you never know. This team has made some nice 2nd half adjustments before.
 
Alright so I just got around to checking the score...what the heck happened?

Most of the starters played around 7 minutes. Did we get blown out so fast that Joerger just waived the white flag?
 
Hopefully these guys start taking these back to back games personally. Probably the first time this season where I can say I didn’t see any effort apart from Buddy.

They run through the mud on other back to backs but atleast they are still trying to push it. As frustrating as it is, I couldn’t question the effort in the other duds like LAL, @Indiana, @Memphis..games they were competitive in for all the struggles.

I’m very comfortable with the talent level on the Kings...but a system shouldn’t be dependent on the schedule.
 
Reality is Joerger is sending a strong message to his starters and doling out a learning lesson. If you want to be a legit playoff team and be among the best, you can't come out lifeless like this no matter the situation.

And he simultaneously realizes this crap does happen occasionally and them getting a night off doesn't hurt.

The starters aren't happy sitting there. They're embarrassed. They want to play. Fox will drop 25/10/5 on Wed.

Good lesson.

You pupils take notes. Pen and paper.
