[Game] Warriors @ Kings

[slugking50]

The crowd wants to boo but they just can't muster it yet.

Cousins has visibly left the bench... looks like there'll be issues...

He's in the game?

 

[Prime13]

Kings make Fab Melo look like a road scholar

Smart will take him out to Baskin-Robbins. All will be well.

Huh? I see him playing.

 

[BMiller52]

They try. He is too slow and short to get open off screens against long NBA defenders.

Meh he's just as athletic as Bibby was or any other spot shooter. His combine numbers were actually pretty good. We don't run an offense or plays much. Otherwise he'd be open way more.

 

[Prime13]

Boo these scabs off the floor

 

[rainmaker]

Stop blaming the ****ing coach. He's not the one giving lackkluster effort on defense. He's not the one leaving 3pt shooters wide open. This is going to be the result until we get some actual defenders on this team

Smart sucks.

 

[Tetsujin]

I feel for Cuz and Reke. They don't deserve this

The players have been bad.

But the coach is also not putting a lot of players in the position to succeed, which is the most important part of his job.

 

[BLNINJA #81]

Huh? I see him playing.

Maybe it was a bathroom break. I see him in the game now, so I guess I was reading too much into it.

 

[Glenn]

Just reading through comments from earlier. Do you guys watch the game or just see the box score? JT was not playing great early are you guys just talking about rebounds who fall in his lap. David Lee was making him look like a 6 foot 120 pound schoolgirl on the block

Excuse me. I bow to your intelligence. We sure haven't been doing better with him out. Can you see that?

 

[Prime13]

Yeah Poor Reke who jogged to Rush wide open in the corner at the end of the 3rd qtr and Cousins who's been power walking up and down the court. I feel so bad for them

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

I love Cousins, he is our franchise guy, but he is a huge part of our problems on defense.

 

[rainmaker]

So Smart doesn't play starters to keep them rested, and then in a blowout, with a game tomorrow, he plays them through garbage time?

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Yes. 3:20 of bliss. Hassan has checked in.

 

[Spike]

Again. It's about putting players in a position to succeed. Regular lineups, rotations, etc. Especially with a young team. They need more structure. Right now Smart is just throwing spaghetti to the fridge.

This team HAD direction when Smart was working with Evans on running the point. He's lost it chasing points with smallball, and it's all fallen apart. This also means knowing your spots and responsibilities on defense. It's all related.

If you're going to lose games, lose with the kids developing in a structure and getting better as a team. Long term growth.

I can't be the only one seeing this.

You fool, Smart has clearly outsmarted you

 

[Prime13]

Let me hear your thoughts other than some braindead rebuttle offering no insight

 

[The_Jamal]

Smart sucks.

oh.

 

[The_Jamal]

Whiteside with the money move

 

[Arkitect]

I love Cousins, he is our franchise guy, but he is a huge part of our problems on defense.

We need his backup and his PF to be defense oriented to help cover that.

 

[rainmaker]

Thought Chuck was supposed to fix that?

 

[Tetsujin]

I've yet to have seen Hassan do anything that doesn't warrant him getting more minutes than Outlaw

 

[Spike]

Hassan giveth, and Hassan taketh away.

 

[Tetsujin]

Thought Chuck was supposed to fix that?

That would require actually playing him with Cuz on the floor at the same time

 

[Circa_1985_Fan]

Girls...LOTS of girls...get them ready Brick!!

Ice cream cake cures all ills.

 

[Arkitect]

Yeah he may be dumb but he might as well get some minutes in the rotation. I would argue he should be getting minutes over JJ.

 

[Prime13]

Chuck Hayes on the bench laughing......go ship this fat pig to Reno
