I swear watching Cousins just post up.... DAVE JOERGER !!!! YOU SUCK!!!! as much as Divac and Vivek take blame .... Coach you probably cost the Kings 10 games with your dumb rotations and dumb #@% offense with Cousins on the 3pt line.

To be fair (I'm not watching so I'm kind of guessing), it's probably much easier for Cuz to post up now because he doesn't immediately get swarmed because the other team has to worry about The Brow as well.

You know what else is different?

Attitude of the announcers toward Boogie.

It's not the subtle "I hate you" that comes out of Napear's mouth.

This is like getting out of an abusive relationship. It's like,"oh, so, it wasn't just me... "
I love to hear that, and he deserves to be talked up. Boogie's going to ascend to mega-stardom without the voice of his team actively working to rip him to shreds at every single turn.

Cousins fakes a theee, passes inside to AD for easy mini hook.

Yeah they're just not working out.

Word is that in practice they were constantly deferring to each other, pass, pass, pass. Apparently coach had to tell them to shoot.

When AD was off the floor they didn't do any "fancy Dave Joerger signature offense" ... it was the malone or "what you should do with Cousins offense"

the formula is easy its .....

Cousins+post up in the paint= unstoppable buckets or wide open 3's .... then repeat !!!! and repeat

I'm telling you, the worst influence on this team is not Vivek Ranadive. It's Grant Napear and has been for a while.

I am continually shocked that not every single fan can see this, especially after what he did during the relocation saga.

im not against cousins being on the 3pt line every once in awhile OR say with a guy like AD on the same team.... but man Joerger really f"d up this year.... winning would have curbed the trade... but Dave refused to adjust ...

he refused to pull Affalo in the beginning when it was clear he was no longer a SG but more a backup SF.... he ruined Casspi for no reason (sickness aside), he started ben for WAAAAY to long when he was ice cold.. KK and Cousins was always terrible... He refused to start temple when it was obvious he was the best option at that time. He ruined WCS most of the season. He played matt Barnes all those mins for what? silly game costing TO's and game losing tech fouls ? that worked out well.... good bye barnes thanks for the bar fight... i won't miss your being joerger bromance.

Pels don't have much firepower outside of ad, boogie and jrue.
They have ok spot up guys and Dmo can get you buckets in the post if need be. Sure the supporting cast is not super great, but it certainly is slightly better than the Kings supporting cast.
Problem is - they are rushing things and try to make too many fancy passes.
Boogie with a couple of letdowns on D, where he simply was confused, but also came up with a lot of steals, on which the ref's let him reach in without calls o_O and protected the rim quite nicely.

I disagree. Collison, Koufos, WCS,Temple, Lawson, Barnes and probably Tolliver and Mclemore(the way he has been playing) would all crack the Pelican rotation. For instance WCS is better than Motiejunas.

I'm not; a lot of Kings Fans are so far in the tank on that "name on the front" tip, that they won't even entertain the possibility that the play-by-play voice of the Kings is not what he purports himself to be.

Their roster is garbage aside from those three, for what its worth they traded us three of what was their top 8 guys.
This is true, of course, but I feel like you won't get a real sense of whether/how this is going to work in New Orleans until their next game. You can't accurately gauge anything based on this game, because the Rockets don't play real basketball.

Scoreboard. You may hate the way they play but it gets results in 2017.
