When JT is useless he is just plain useless. Preseason or not this better be a wake up call right now.

Right but the Kings are losing to a depleted Lakers team that is projected to be lower than the Kings this season rofl

Rudy isn't even in a normal rotation right now... it's pre season.

Rudy or not, the Kings should be really winning this game. Looking at the players on the floor, this is easily in favor for the Kings.

Malone said he is treating this last preseason game like a regular season game. So far, not so good.

I will agree with u to an extent but I mean the difference in this game is Malone leaving Evans on Randle.

Yeah, no doubt the Kings are running a legit rotation in this one. This is kind of the problem when you run preseason in the manner that Malone has. You can't expect even a good team to just turn it on like a light, so when you have a team with no track record of consistent play it's even worse. Could be a rough start to the season this year if it doesn't click or Cousins and Gay can't just flat out talent this team into competitive play.

That's not the only difference of the game. Yes, Randle is killing every big not naming Cousins but that is just only one outlet. The Kings are getting beat by continuously leaving guys open, putting up stupid shots, iso-ball, just the lack of intelligence on both sides of the ball. This is simply depressing to watch.

I'm now convinced that whenever Derrick Williams does something well, it's an accident.

What does that mean its preseason? The Kings have their normal rotation players in, with Rudy hurt in the 2nd half, and are losing to the Lakers depleted team as KF10 said. They are trying. It is concerning. Preseason may not count but it can be considered momentum and it sets a tone. The Kings are heading into a tough opening stretch of the regular season.... Not looking good

I like seeing Cousins jump off the bench to help defend McLemore. That guy definitely intended to bump into Ben

Outside of Cousins, I thought DWill was the Kings best player tonight...lol

Yeah, it's the offense as much as anything at this point. Them being a great defensive team is predetermined by their lack of ability so oh well. Sessions is putting up good numbers but I swear it's like watching IT out there. There is no play calling, no sets being run, nothing. This is why it's so troubling with the shot callers up stairs. Say one thing, do another, then repeat.

New rule for Reggie, get the ball, then pass it back out, haha.

Post #155 » by **City of Trees** » Sat Oct 25, 2014 4:09 am

The best big on the floor (not named Cousins) is a guy who can rebound the ball but never make a put back attempt, or dribble.... If only Landry and Thompson were as active as Evans. Reggie sucks but his hustle and ability to rebound when he shouldn't is amazing.

This team isn't winning more than 30 games next season if this is more or less what we will see for 82 games.

So my theory:

The Kings will struggle mightly when they are without Cousins or Gay

Ben Mac got him a bleeder. Ellington got the worst of that. He was out on his feet.

If you've built a team of almost entirely offensive players that shouldn't be the case though. If it is you're much better off with role players that can impact the game in other areas.
