Close loss to Kings at the Fieldhouse

Slow start, again, and no real way of keeping the Kings out of the paint. Highpoint was George Hill finally becoming more aggressive on offence, only for him to get hit in the stomach and visibly playing worse afterwards, hope it isn't another small injury... PG13 had another poor game, I am not sure what is up with him, anybody have any ideas? His shots seem forced and he isn't getting in the flow of things. It isn't like he doesn't get touches either.

Ellis continued to make himself available in the right spots and CJ Miles sputtered into life as well. If we'd been a bit more aggressive on D in the first half we'd have won, but we weren't - creditable fight back though.

Paul George seemed to have it going at the beginning of the 3rd after going 1-7. It didn't exactly last long.

He seems to really need to commit in order to shoot at a high percentage.

I think the officiating was pretty inconsistent, and it was getting to everyone on the team. Still no excuse.

This team needs to lay off their officiating conspiracy theory and play it out. Speak to the official during the free throw, or on the way to the TO. Stop wasting time gesticulating and get back on D!
That said, Cousins should have been slowed down just a bit by the officials, I thought some of his... tactics?... in the lane were call worthy.
