Wow, Reke didn't even pretend to try on the last possession. Show some fire.
Wasn't pretty. Played some great defense but the offense was awful. Westphal's reluctance to insert JT at certain moments, when he clearly should have, was bizarre. Just strange.
Annoying loss. The guys deserved the win just for the defensive intensity. Both teams deserved to lose this one, though. Can't say the Hornets deserved that one.

Good game, tonight. I am proud of the effort. But there's also a repetitive negative that I'm seeing from our main man, Tyreke Evans. The last possession of the game, Kings down by 5 with little hope, a time when star players will try anything to steal the game. Evans catches the ball with his lazy slow dribble, pretty much looking careless, drains precious seconds off the clock without an attempt.
Where has our "go-to" player been at the end of these games? I'm becoming increasingly frustrated with Tyreke Evans. I want to see him show some passion, some fire, out there on the court. His jumpshot hasn't improved enough for him to rely on it, so take it to the rack, draw some fouls. His turnovers kill me, which is why he doesn't come across as a good play-maker to me...

Kings are now starting to form an identity - an very good defensive team.
The two young studs - Tyreke and Cousins - both played poor offensive games, yet the team stayed close because of defensive talent and intensity.
Luther Head was the player of the game (maybe co-player with Dalembert) and had the play of the game when he jumped on the Chris Paul ball.
Donte showed what he's capable of with his rebounding and defense.
Even though there were too many turnovers, the offense was much better than of late; in several instances the ball didn't touch the floor on offensive possessions. I was wondering who these non-dribblers were on the court.
When Tyreke and Cousins get it figured out, this team will have big wins, as long as they keep their heads on straight. They just have to continue to play seriously like this game and the NJ game.

I don't know about Utah...the team played good defense today but if Westphal is going to stick with Landry when he's got nothing on offense and getting punked by West on the other end, what happens when you switch West out for that bruiser Paul Milsap or Al Jefferson? I think Westphal's refusal to make that sub for JT helped kill us in the end.
