Game 61: Los Angeles (21-39) VS Sacramento (14-43)

[TheNewEra]

We are getting some game saving fouls

[Leor_77]

Man, Sac fans acting like this game has anything to do with where they move.

[mkwest]

Pathetic.

[loflin3hree5ive]

This is almost as sad as losing to the Cavs.

[Kyle]

Get DJ in for Kaman. He's a turnover waiting to happen.

[mkwest]

Damn late calls.

[loflin3hree5ive]

Blake is owning Cousins down the stretch on defense. That's good to see at least. This is still disgusting though.

[HeyJoe]

**** clutch

[mkwest]

Pitiful performance by a pitiful team. I'm disgusted with this team and their coach.

Congrats to the Kings and their fans for winning their final game at Arco.

Wow, coaching was terrible tonight. 2 back-to-back plays to Kaman during crunch time? That looked like Dunleavy offense.

Mo Williams needs to stop chucking it and doing his Baron Davis impersonation.

Congrats to the Kings, they needed a win before they move down to Anaheim.

[Leor_77]

It's Ok, we still won the series 3-1. Any updates on Eric?

He's supposed to practice tomorrow and hopes to return on Wednesday. He better be ready to play.

It wasn't their final game at Arco Arena.
They'll play the rest of the season there.

It was just the final home game before their owners have to decide on either re-signing for another year in Sacramento or filing for re-location, which is more likely.

Anyways, yet another crappy performance and it looks like we could end up in the bottom 5 of the league, if we don't start to finally win some games.

This was the last game under the "Arco Arena" title. It switches over to "Power Balance Pavilion" tomorrow. Same place, but crappy new name.

How did Mo play for you guys? I see he took 18 shots which is more than he should be taking with a player like Blake on your team. Not to mention his injuries have caused his shot to be a bit erratic so far this season. No way should he lead you in shot attempts.

To be fair, he had to jack up 3's at the end in an attempt to win the game or take it to OT. Overall, I thought he played well for his first game. Hit some big shots, including a 3 to cut it to 98-97 with under a min left. Had 5 steals and a couple of nice lobs to Griffin. Already he's a better shooter than Baron easily. Just has to get acclimated with the team.

Now I wasn't able to watch the whole game, but there really seems to be a lack of offensive plays being drawn up. For the most part, no motion, no cutting, ineffective screens, no pick and rolls...

Most of the time, all I see is isos. All other players are standing completely still. They just give Blake or Kaman the ball just inside the 3pt line, have them try to post up the defender, and then settle for a contested hook shot.

Or Foye or Bledsoe will dribble the ball, use an ineffective screen, and then hoist up a contested three. Sometimes they drive and then kick the ball back out to Blake just inside the 3 pt line. Now Blake's been hitting quite a few of those shots, but we should get some shooters involved as well. But do we have any shooters available? lol. I do however, see Gomes get some decent open looks once in awhile.

There needs to be more plays to run. Letting players go one on one all the time, or having a single pass isn't going to cut it. Not unless you have Rose or Nash on your team. You look at the elite teams in the NBA, the Spurs, the Lakers, they have multiple bullet passes and often find a man under the basket unguarded. They move the ball around to get better looks, not trying to force shots all the time.

I really hope Del Negro can implement some more plays into the offense, and soon.

I actually think you guys are going to like Mo. He's normally pretty darned clutch late in games. I'm kinda rooting for you guys. I want to see you get better, just don't want you to win too much this year (since I'm a Cavs fan). I think you guys are seriously headed in the right direction.
