Kings @ Thunder

[pillwenney]

On the road, we've been playing like complete crap lately, arena-related distractions, we beat them last time we played and they surely haven't forgotten, they're one of the best teams in the league, and we're one of the worst.


I THINK WE'VE GOT THIS ONE, GUYS!

Is DeMarcus the last man to go back down to defense or what.

Every damn time man.

[Wolfay]

I'm surprised they're not wearing Royals jerseys.

[pillwenney]

Dumb foul by Tyreke.

Oh well. We'll probably get better without him.

[boogie-reke]

DeMarcus is straight up doggin it on defense.

[KF10]

The last couple of defensive possessions by Outlaw/Hayes on Durant was incredible.

[ADoaN17]

Tank lineup out already! Good to see Honeycutt is getting some real minutes.

[pillwenney]

Well....this got out of hand quickly.

[pillwenney]

I'll give the second half...6 minutes.

See, this is exactly what I was talking about last game. You have a first unit that has all your top options offensively but can't play defense for ****. Then you have a bench with some legit defensive capabilities but absolutely no centerpiece offensively. They touted them scoring 13 points but they played 8 minutes to get it and for a "running" team, you have to do a whole lot better than 13 points in an 8 minute stretch to have any chance of winning. Then, Smart puts the starters back in and after all that time sitting whatever flow they had before was long gone. That's Westball 'yo. C'mon Smart, time to start putting more balance out on the floor.

lol.

I'm not even sure what you'd prefer. I mean I guess he could have brought Tyreke back in earlier, but then he would have had to play him with TWill.

The rotations aren't great at all. I'm not saying that. But they're not the real problem. The real problem is that we blow.

I really really think its possible that our team is getting worse every single year, but our "talent" is just improving. I'm not sure if this team would beat the Natt coached Kevin Martin led team that finished last in the league. We just keep getting worse and worse and worse....

Whoa, whoa.

Lets not go THAT far. The 08-09 Kings team were simply horrible and should have forfeited their games. They were that bad. The team main option was a gimpy Kevin Martin.

[pillwenney]

It depends on which team you're talking about. When this team plays like it's capable of playing, it's probably as good as any team we've had since we were last in the playoffs.

The way they've played recently, and at some other points this year is maybe worse than any of them though. Talent doesn't always mean you're the better team. When this team at it currently is, is at its worst, it's monumentally bad.
