Another line up jerk that feels like Joerger is flipping us the bird. How does Skal go from riding pine to starting?

Well definitely a major line up shift. I’m optimistic.

[KF10]

Yeah, lineup change.

Yeah it was needed and I like the starting 5. But bringing in kosta and willie off the bench at the same time is more of the same senseless rotations

Great team defense by the Kings in the first half is keeping them in the lead.

Is Willie more comfortable at the 4? He’s a little more free defensively to use his speed instead of having to bang down low, he is free to crash the glass on both ends as well. He and Kosta have looked pretty good together defensively and from a physicality standpoint on the offensive end

I’d say so. He always has been though.

Willie's worst attribute is his motor. He's a double double waiting to happen when motivated. I wish he played locked in every game. Dann Willie you're teasing us.

All I can say is, "FU WCS!" Where has this been all season? Until he can play this way consistently, he should ALWAYS come off the bench.

[nolimit0820]

I think the final line up on the floor will be what we see as the starting unit as long as DJ is okay bringing Z Bo off the bench.

Fox, Hill, Temple, WCS, KK

Also looks like Jackson or Richardson can get some run with Buddy most likely being out. Loved seeing Mason out there!

Where was Jackson is he hurt?

No he was the odd man out today with Mason getting run

Joerger is trash. How does a guy go from starting to no minutes... it isn't like he's been terrible. Inconsistency kills rookies let them play! Instead we give 30 minutes to 3 30+ year olds

Agreed...but....
Mason played and that squeezed Jackson’s minutes out. That’s the issue with the Fox/Hill backcourt, it naturally pushes Jackson out unless he steals minutes at the 4. Temple and Bogdan split minutes at the 3.

Well Buddy is hurt now so Jackson will be back in the line up next game.

Willie Cauley-Stein on playing next to Kosta Koufos: “I’ve been waiting for that lineup since we started.”

[nolimit0820]

The two critical components of our game at Portland tonight (simple, but true IMO)

1) Can we replicate the same defensive intensity yielding similar results?

2) Can Willie string together back to back games of this type of play?
