Whoops, I said Presti but meant Brooks. But yeah, Presti has made more than a fair share of hair-pulling, maddening moves over the last 3 or 4 years. But yeah, I meant Brooks never made a coaching decision that annoyed me more than Donovan's decision to bench Payne, instead of Waiters, for Foye. The only thing Brooks ever did that made me want to punch puppies was his undying loyalty to Perkins. Perkins was an extremely valuable asset against some teams, but Brooks' unwillingness to totally bench him or only play him 5-10 minutes against certain teams was infuriating. That didn't bother me as much as this whole Waiters/Payne/Foye situation.

Sadly, I think Perk had more on court value.

He did, especially against certain teams. Don't get me wrong, Perkins was awful and a huge detriment against a lot of teams and Brooks' loyalty to him was maddening at times. But Waiters annoys/pisses me off more than Perkins ever did and that's saying something since we've only had Waiters for the equivalent of about one season.

Same, Singler too but I think Waiters does because some people still think he's good. Singler just stinks.

Adams is a complete idiot, why is he fronting Cousins?

The lack of BBIQ...

Rondo is a nutshell.

When Cousins is the voice of reason...

Also OT, but Houston lost, and Giannis went nuts. 2 good things.

Only saw the 4th but it was a fun game to watch. Giannis is insanely good leading the break, and looks so much better without MCW. Can't believe how much that front office screwed up a great thing with that trade. Middleton is also becoming one of my players I really enjoy, and Jabari was scoring at will. Something is seriously wrong with Houston and I love it. After they had a 5 sec call late in the game the camera panned to Harden and he was just sitting there with a dead look in his eyes.

Cousins goes out about a minute into the 3rd quarter...four minutes into the 3rd and we're only up by 6.

I don't understand why we struggle so much with the Kings. They suck.

Maybe I'm out of touch or something, but is there any discernable reason as to why Foye of all people is getting minutes over Payne?

Oh, Old Man Game mentioned it, but a quick glance at splits and Dion does seem to play better vs. bad teams.

We're a dumb basketball iq team but the kings are a lesson in active stupidity. They are the NBA equivalent of the guys from jackass.

Well, it took 3.5 quarters, but we're finally beating this team like we should beat them.

Somebody mentioned Donvan is 'trying it to see how Foye fits', I've tried to stay away the past couple of days so any idea if that came from Donovan himself or if it's wishful thinking? I don't want to get my hopes up...

So Cousins gets away with cocking back a closed fist on a player on the floor?

I've lost my picture explaining it, give me a minute.
