Inexcusable.

Blew a 28 point lead against their scrubs vs our scrubs.

They played a 6 man rotation. They simply outworked the Kings and we couldn't break down a frkin zone. Where is the adjustment by the coach when they were chipping the lead away? I've rarely criticize Joerger at all this season but a lot of this loss is on him.

Dunno what's the big deal about 40 wins. Meaningless number. Interested to see what we do in the off-season. Need to add toughness at C and get a bigger backup PG.

I thought what Dave Joerger did to those backup guys was totally unfair. He should have been working some of those players in for a few games before doing that let alone after the starters worked the Blazers over. Swanigan looked good so that's a plus. I bet the Stockton coach won't be happy if Joerger crushed their confidence.
