I'm sorry, but you can't say something how Skal can't play against stretch 4's and then bring in ZBo. If he were going to Zbo in the post I can kind of see his point but what the heck. I'll take down 30 over down 20 if it means Skal gets some reps in.

Vlade should pity trade KK.

Dude has a limited game, but he's still giving it his all and more than fulfilling his role. Plenty of playoff teams would be happy to have him.

I'd say pity trade Temple as well, but he's a saint/madman and wants to stick around for some reason.

I'm sure Vlade can send him and a future first to Philly for Nik Stauskas.

Haven't been able to watch this game, but I have it on DVR. Will probably tune in soon... now tell me, is it worth watching the 1st half?? Box score looks horrible right now.

Can anyone give me a quick recap? Just from box-score watching, it seems like the starters struggled to do anything on offense. Left shooters wide open on 3pt line, and bad enough, didn't box out. Coach brought in the bench who couldn't buy a shot, and continued to play bad defense?

Quick recap: we're trash on both ends. I wouldn't bother watching the 1st half, unless you're a masochist.

Willie has been absolutely destroyed in Pick and Roll defense. He has also thrown up some hot garbage and been soft around the paint

If your a Dwayne Dedmon fan, this is the game to watch.

Everyone is. Willie was drafted because of his potential to switch. I say they give that a shot before he suffers the fate of BMac. If you try it and it fails then at least you left no stone unturned.

In the first half, the Kings almost scored what the Hawks scored in the second quarter. Almost, but not quite. They would be still be down by 5.

Are we at the point of calling Joerger’s extension premature?

I think he’s a solid coach, but not a rebuilding one and the teams effort, even with its lack of talent, is not acceptable
I don't think Pop could do any better with this roster.

The effort sucks though, and this wasn't an issue last season post Cuz trade. The kids gotta snap out of it and lose with some dignity. Even the pre Simmons/Embiid 76ers would scrap and play hard.

I'm still holding out hope that we see improvement in the coming months.
