So, that's him after Stephen Jackson, right? I could never put my finger on that one, thought maybe it was a young Dale Ellis.

Yep.

What a godawful Kings team. I've seen pick up games with more chemistry. Our execution looks like the Spurs in comparison.

Who should take the credit or the blame for how awful the Kings are? Mike Malone, Isaiah Thomas, or DeMarcus Cousins?

Thomas and Cousins. They literally play like nobody else exists on the court. Then you throw Gay into the mix? Plus Thornton is one of the worst chuckers in the league. Malone looks like an owner that can't house train his puppies.

Excuse my sarcasm but Thomas is better than Kemba and Cousins is better than Jefferson. At least that's what I was told.

I think the problem with Kings is that they lack a on-floor leader. Marcus Smart should be their priority pick in the draft.

I wouldn't say Thomas is better than Kemba but they both play really hard but they just need to be kept on a leash. Honestly if I'm the Kings I'd clean house for picks and load up in this draft. Everyone can go except McLemore, Williams and I dunno, Jimmer and maybe Thompson. Get rookies without egos and sign veteran FAs that will kick the rooks in the ass if needed.

Hell, I'd sign Kurt Thomas right now and just have him stare at DMC with his crazy eyes all day.

If he wasn't such a head case Cousins would be tons better than Jefferson. Thomas I have always seen as the Nate Robinson type player. A spark guy on offense off the bench that can create for himself with a second unit.

I must say upon further review after re-watching it that Josh McRoberts' help defense in this Kings game went under the radar. Sure, he couldn't contain Jason Thompson much in the 1st half one-on-one, but McRoberts made quite a few plays, including blocks & steals, that lead to transition baskets for the Bobcats in Saturday's contest. That's without mentioning his 11 rebounds
