Re: Kings V. Blazers @ Arco! 7pm pst
We are really a horrible 2nd half/ late game team. In the beggining of the year we would get down early then come back late and lose. Recently its been the opposite. We play great in the first half then collapse towards the end. I dont know what it is about this team. I guess its age and inexperience. We score 5 points in overtime that wont beat anybody.

Every time Donte plays, he does something to piss me off.

Did Cousins teabag the coach during a timeout? He was having a rough game, but I just don't get this. Was he hurt or something when he face planted?

Not his fault. Dump a guy on the bench and bring him in for a final play? Man..... smart, smart moves.

I want to see Cousins play as much and more than anyone, but he was playing like **** and Dalembert was playing very well.

Not everything is Westphal's fault. Donte played like **** today as well.

I've seen Tyreke Evans play like **** all year, but I didn't see any games where the coach went out of his way to flatline one of the two best players he has. Cousins looks like he's hit the wall for sure, but I've also seen him have a bad game and then come up huge in the final moments. Usually when the game is out of hand, this wasn't. Still think JT and Daly was a bad combo, proved me right. Clogged the lane on offense, didn't produce consistent points. They went big why not try Daly/Cousins?

Re: Kings V. Blazers @ Arco! 7pm pst
The lack of conditioning.
I think that's the major culprit for every disappointing second half. These guys were not in shape at the start of the season. And they are paying the price for it. There shouldn't be any significant stamina loss from the first half to second half. The Kings are a YOUNG team. They should get up and down the floor without the huffing & puffing. People like Westphal, Walton and Grant has alluded to the lack of conditioning for this team.
As much most people here want to blame Westphal, the players has to be held accountable.

Yea, but Tyreke was injured. Tyreke also wasn't whining like a little bitch and wasn't forcing his offense.
I'm no fan of Westphal, but you blame e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g on him. When will you ever hold the players responsible?

How we didn't win this game I don't know. Its frustrating as all hell.
Sometimes you just have to look yourself in the mirror and say....Tyreke Evans.
That just happened.

I've never been a big fan of Donte, but I think it's obvious now that he isn't NBA material. How many chances are we gonna give him? The dude flat sucks....

No, no I don't. Once again, when I see bad lineups, bad play calls, etc. I'm going to call it out. And I didn't exactly call this one like a Monday morning quarterbacker. I called this BEFORE the end of regulation. Wanna guess how many good offensive possessions the Kings had after that? 1.

I still don't know why most of us still watch the games. At the end, you know the Kings will pull out something from their fail box and ruin the game for us fans. It's like you are getting laid for the first time with this hot chick and you are thinking to yourself, "there is nothing that can ruin this." For god sakes you are touching BOOBS for the first time!! You are one happy guy. Eventually, you bust a nut and you are feeling at the top of the world. You give a kiss to the chick and about to call it a day but before you about fall asleep, the chick out of nowhere said, "I'm a transvestite". And you just realized that you have been trolled with a dude. All that good stuff just evaporated into oblivion. At this point, you are finding something heavy to beat the **** out of this tranny. You found a bat and once you reentered the bedroom the tranny disappeared. RIGHT NOW, you are feeling all kinds of emotions. Frustration & disgust are just the tip of the iceberg for you. You are screaming "FCK FCK FCK FCK!!!!!!! WHY ME!!?!? WHY ME!?!!?"
That is what most Kings games are: a good and warm feeling at the beginning but with a horrible, bleak, dark unfortunate end.

Wow, you guys are an impressive fanbase. Not one person mentioned the officiating, or blamed them. That's so unusual in a game like t his for any fanbase. Hell we had Blazer fans complaining about it during the game. And you guys would have a case too. Seriously good luck to you guys, I hope you get good again soon.

I think most of us were throwing stuff at the television & breaking stuff than arguing about the refs here.

Agreed. I guess we're feeling good about you guys after what happened with the Timberwolves fan base after our last game. They really hate our team for some reason as if we were the freaking Lakers; wishing harm on our players and calling out the refs on every call that went against them.
So it's refreshing to see a lot more class here.
