Still on the road tonight, and Karl is calling out the squad for being bad.

I blame this mess on the coach and the players! the coach cause he doesn't seem to know how to use this teams strengths and just being stubborn.. I also blame the players for not giving it there all.. I see no urgency with this team

Yeah, Karl needs to call out his system just the same. Unless the players are doing the complete opposite of what he's asking. If they stick out at the 3 point line tonight, then they better hope Cuz is hitting them.

They will come out strong and compete, but I think it will be another patented meltdown in the final minutes. The Raptors have been playing really well at home

Tolerance for Belinelli has been zero for weeks now

I want DC to be in shape and accept being a great backup PG mentally for the team

This feels like one of those MIke Malone games from early last season.

Ah, what great passes from Cuz today.

SacKingZZZ · Post #10 » by **SacKingZZZ** » Sun Dec 20, 2015 11:28 pm

So anyone notice the difference offensively? They could have something very dangerous here if they use Cuz in both areas on the floor. They gave the ball to him low a few times, let him find cutters/spacers, then they went to him up top and the defense didn't have a clue what to do. Mark this down Karl, this is what you need to continue to roll with.

If you give him space and cutters along with the chance to get double teamed he can get a team 5 apg. Easy.

Good start for us.No nonsense low percentage shoots from Cousins and teams offence looks like a machine

Raps defense has shut us down this quarter.

SacKingZZZ · Post #14 » by **SacKingZZZ** » Sun Dec 20, 2015 11:59 pm

OK, back into the all out/pick and roll crap. Just toss the ball in the post to anyone, that will at least make the defense adjust their on floor positioning and they'll think twice about sliding in to help.

Rondo's defence on Lowry was one of the best of his career maybe

SacKingZZZ · Post #16 » by **SacKingZZZ** » Mon Dec 21, 2015 12:10 am

Dropping almost everything that worked early when the going gets rough is the sign of a not very well prepared team. They got desperate and their answer was to score before the defense was set which allowed the Raps to just run it right back on them. :banghead:

Kyle Lowry always implodes against us.

Prethia · Post #18 » by **Prethia** » Mon Dec 21, 2015 12:37 am

Raptors casters said that he will get at least one technical and someone has to seperate him from refs 1 minute ago lol.

SacKingZZZ · Post #19 » by **SacKingZZZ** » Mon Dec 21, 2015 12:38 am

Nice to see the adjustment back, but there's a little too much looking to score out of the post. Getting the ball in the post allows them to get behind the defense. Cuz needs to just wait for the double and pass back out to a shooter. You know that it's working so well because the Kings are in a game and Cuz has 3 points.

Nice block by Biyombo to the most stupid player in the world aka Cousins.From now on I want the defensive player to block the most stupid player in the world everytime he tries to drive. 1-7 now
