Simple/swinging ball movement by the Celtics to get an open 3 point shot. The Kings are slow to rotate.

Joerger' starting lineups are stupid. Koufos and cousins doesn't work

When is Joerger gonna give up on Koufos-Cousins? Koufos is 1000x better playing backup C, and the team is better too.

Kings' 2nd unit is better than the Celtics 2nd unit.

Never. If good defense like the unit w/o both on the floor hasn't done it by now, unfortunately it won't. You just have to hope the C's starters don't come back in hot because when you let any NBA player get that hot to start a game it's hard to force them to miss for a while after.

The Kings defense with that 2nd unit is existent, the two big lineup can't cover the 3 point line and therefore non-existent.

omg, can we please leave Willie on the bench?

Yep, it is a lot more evident with this group. Lawson & Temple are hounding the ball. Barnes is Barnes.

It's all about the Koufos/Cuz combo. The breakdown begins, middles, and ends there against teams willing to shoot the 3. Temple and Barnes are the teams best defensive players by far. IMO Collison, Temple, and Barnes need to be tested as the starters around Gay and Cuz.

Oh, I don't disagree with that at all. I know the KK/Cousins combo blows. I don't know why Joerger still persists with it. If I remember correctly (this was like a week ago or so), he said that he liked the 2 bigs strategy due to defense and didn't like what he saw with going small lol

The refs ignored Horford's illegal screen in the first quarter and a moving screen in the second quarter. But has called some ticky tack fouls on the Kings. Hmm..

Defense picked up in the 2nd. nice.

It should be an interesting start to the 2nd half.

Cousins needs to pick it up in the second half.

Jerry himself just dropped truth on the starting 5. LOL.

The rotations and starters are costing us games. The team plays much harder than last year, and temple has been an awesome pickup. But the crap rotations are killing us, specifically the starters. we start out in a hole every single game
