I didn't see the game, but when the Kings went big, I would love to have seen a Drummond/Boban lineup.

That Baynes-Drummond combo is awful. I get that Van Gundy went to that to match up against the Cousins and Koufos lineup, but hopefully it never sees the light of day again. Might have been the most obvious thing with Leuer being out that hurt the team.

This loss was the story of our year.. just when you think they're getting some traction, they blow it.

SVG better start looking in the mirror, cuz he talks the talk but hasn't been walking the walk. He's stubborn and stuck in ways and trapped in the mid 2000s.
Change the lineups, work the phones (trade Baynes for a fence post for all I care).

I have the same impression. SVG is a great 2000s coach, but sometimes his approach is too old.
You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.

Please, bench Morris.
Seriously, this dude shoots below 40% every game, 33% in his last 5. Terribly inefficient player, needs to go to the bench.

This is the reason why I seriously would think about to trade for Millsap. We got talented young players, but they're mentally weak as f*. Stan did it so bad this game too, but with an All-Star veteran I'd guarantee you guys it wouldn't be games unfocused like this.
Reggie, Dre, Harris... They all could really improve if they know there is a real authority with a respectable career on the court.

SVG interview last night, he said something like I played Dre and Baynes because I wanted Baynes to be on Boogie. WTF? Was Dre not guarding Boogie really well? If SVg would've played Boban and Dre, he could've just told Dre to stay on Boogie. I'm pretty sure he could've done that as he did it earlier in the game. Baynes stay on Boogie? LOL, he drive right by him or shoot over him. With Boban being in the pain if Boogie did drive past Dre (doubtful) he would've had that to try and shoot over. I think Boogie would've been taking some crazy shots if that happened, he might of made them tho.

It stings tho.
Anyone see Dre and Tolliver embrace at the end? Dre looked disappointed as f. It also looked like he and Tolliver care for each other a good amount.

Who doesn't love Tolly?
Never underestimate the role of a real pro!
Tolly isn't a stud player but he's from all reports a old pro, great team mate, vet mentor kinda guy.

Tolliver probably deserves the Joe Dumars award considering literally everyone in the league loves the guy and he's an extremely professional guy.
I'm glad he got his pay, he wasn't going to do much here, but at least he's having fun in the Cali weather.

Yeah, bad move by SVG. As soon as Cousins got the ball Dre had to double to help... Dre was doing about as well as anyone could guarding him by himself.
