Alright coach, enough with the ****ing around, time to come up with a real and consistent rotation.

Evans, Thornton, Cisco, Hayes, and Cousins. 4-5 minutes left in the 1st you take Hayes out and put in JT. 2 minutes left you take out Cisco or Thornton and put in Salmons. Start of 2nd you have Jimmer and/or Thomas in there for Evans and Thornton, put Hayes in for Cousins and run some post action for JT, NOT Hayes. Between the 6-8 minute mark you start putting your starters back in. That's how a real rotation works. The inconsistent rotations where guys play one game, not the next, and so on are starting to effect this team and you can't "grow" with that, that's Westball dude.

Was at work, so didn't get a chance to watch the game, but I'm almost to the point of not watching the Kings anymore until Salmons is benched. This is terrible, and perhaps will go down to being one of the worst trades in Sacramento Kings history. No joke.

I know he is, and it would be nice if he kept it in the closet.

+1. Play Cisco and Greene. Seriously. Salmons and Outlaw should never take off their warmups again.

I agree about the weird/inconsistent rotations... He should already have an idea/clue what combinations work... There are times when he subs guys and sits them way too long...

After the okc win, its been a downhill for this kings team...

Well let's revisit the two biggest wins for the Kings this season.

Lakers game, won that. How did we do after that? Not good.
OKC game, won that. Downhill....

Jimmer should watch how lin keeps his dribble alive when slashing in the lane... He needs to improve his ball handling skills if he wants to be an effective player in this league

I don't mind the losses, I mind when the idea is "growth" and the coach does inconsistent things with his rotation that vomits all over "growth". Growth is not playing one game then sitting for two. Growth is not playing 25 minutes one game, 10 the next, 18 the next, 0 the next, etc. The only good thing is at least Smart ditched the dumb idea about this being a running team (to a degree at least), and he's playing his best players (Thornton, Cousins, Evans, and Salmons...oh ****! Shouldn't be in that group! haha) the minutes they need to play and as said, probably even going overboard sometimes.

Agreed 100%. Jimmer needs to keep his dribble to extend the play and hope the defenses collapse on him. The Lin play where he made the left handed layup by dribbling around Chandler and the D is a perfect example of that.

Pathetic performance. The Knicks are good, but not 20 plus points better than us. I have had it with Salmons. Bench him, release him, or leave him in NY. He has to go & if Smart doesn't make a change soon then they should fire his ass.

It's hard because I know the entire team really likes John, but at some point you have to realize that he's hurting this team more than helping. He's not the cause of that loss but every night almost he's a complete negative, I'm more than surprised really.

Smart could do something to maybe help him and the team. Bring JT and Salmons off the bench so they can get some dang offense going through them. Would help step up some bench production and maybe get these guys some shot attempts.
