Kings vs Warriors

Cuz is really not playing defence this year, or atleast "giving up" on alot of plays... he can play alot better, but it seems like too many times he just "saves energy"... guys are abusing us in penetrations and inside the paint - his help defence is really annoying besides the charges.

The same for his rebounds btw since the All-Star break as I mentioned the last game, he just doesn't seem to go at it like he did.

As for the game - I stopped caring about losses and actually enjoyed and hoped for them for a long time now - but this one even hurt me lol.

Still glad we got that L, we gotta keep rackin them up to make sure we still in the hunt for the big prize or atleast a top 5 pick and not fall down to the 8-10 range.

Wow, that is a completely different guy than he was in Houston. There were guys shooting over him, which is understandable since he's only 6'6 and played center in Houston most of the time due to injuries to Yao. He was pretty bad one year when he couldn't seem to make a layup to save his life, but then the seasons after that, he was making most of them and passing great. It's always amazing how players can look so different depending on the team and players they are with at the time.

Haha, don't listen to the poster above. For some reason he's in full belief that Chuck Hayes was brought up from hell to lead the army of the anti-christ.

Chuck is being used completely wrong, and in fact, he's being used as a BACKUP C right now, so a lot of those problems you speak of are continuing. However, when he's played next to Cousins, the Kings pick and roll defense has been top notch, they've cleared the boards, and they just simply have looked like they fit well together. When he's gotten the time he's basically shut down some of the better big men, including a game against the Blazers where Aldridge was torching the Kings and once Hayes was on him, he completely took him out of the game. He's been fine overall, nothing great, but he wasn't expected to be.

Also, he's cited those stats in the past attributing some of the statistics of players who in reality shot below their average against Hayes and above mostly against Jason Thompson then averaging it out not understanding that without circumstance those stats prove nothing nor do they have any basis except for disproving his own point.

I am sick to my stomach after watching this one. Smart isn't so smart. Another year of this moron & the arena will be completely empty.

I was one of the few guys on here banging my head into a brick wall when I found out we signed Hayes. Dude was way over rated and it shows on this team. He is garbage. You can have him back, but you gotta take Hickson and Outlaw with you as well.
