Just complete and utter incompetence up and down. No words.blind prophet wrote:LOL
We just shot 44 FT's
Shot 52.4% from the field
Shot 44.4% from 3
Only had 7 turnovers....
And lost to Detroit.
There you go wishful thinking. They will pull out an unexpected win, and vivek will demand we get better.rpa wrote:Why are you all hoping for wins? The more losses this team wracks up before the deadline the higher the chances we may actually get a rebuild of some sorts.
This was a clutch loss.
If the Kings manage to give away another game to OKC they may be able to head into the deadline riding a 12 game losing streak. That should shut Vivek up about the play-in game and guarantee that Gentry isn't back next year--not to mention put us in solid position for a high draft pick in what looks like a top heavy draft.

There is no tank coming man. I promise you. Monte already said it. It's not in the plans. I wish it was. Lord knows I truly do. This team is **** pitiful.

We all know this next tough stretch the team will play good enough to grab some unlikely wins, but only enough to keep us in 12th and yes, Vivek will see we're only 3 games out of the play in. Oh well.

I've got to think the defensive has to be coaching related? How do these guys get so lost defensively so consistently.

The team seemed to play better when Doug was coaching. I wonder what kind of say he has. This still very much feels like a Walton coached team with gentry just as a figure head.simonbampfield wrote:RipPizzaGuy wrote:Just complete and utter incompetence up and down. No words.blind prophet wrote:LOL

This is something that I was going to bring up, and I know it's not going to be popular, but this is Doug's wheelhouse. Why hasn't the D changed? This is also on him.
We have people bring up Fox and his D, but then you look at Golden State and see their PG is average at best, but his D is covered up by a) a wonderful defensive player in Draymond and b) a scheme that the players buy into.The problem isn't with 1 player. It starts with a defensive scheme. This team switches far too often, they switch when they don't have to and then you have Metu out on an island and his attention span is 2 seconds.

As for the scheme absolutely. And metu is the forward version of Buddy. Both make incredible plays 20% of the time, then look clueless the other 80%.
