Key Matchup

IT vs Irving

[Kyle N.]

Well I didn't watch the Heat game but that looks like that was a good thing. I say easy win!

[iMac]

Kings win, but it seems like interest isn't on the game and more on if we can get these investors to keep Kings in Sac. Win or Lose, Kings are still in limbo... hopefully we get some sort of clarity soon!

Smart on Losing Streak: 'Got to Get the Chemistry Back'

The Kings have had chemistry?

[imbetterthanyou]

The Kings have had chemistry?

I wonder if Dumb knows that chemistry has a lot to do with setting proper lineups based of strengths & weaknesses of the individual players and keeping some semblance of a consistent rotation.

[cvietti23]

Not to back him up on his entire stint as kings coach, in his defense, it is hard to have a consistent rotation when our roster is put together the way it is, and when every player is inconsistent themselves. If we knew exactly what we'd get from Isaiah and Tyreke and Thornton and JT and T Rob every night, it would be easier for a set rotation. It doesn't help when any of them (except t rob) could score 30 one night then 7 or 8 the next.

Goes both ways, right?

How does an individual player develop any rhythm or consistency when your role and playing time are constantly in flux..

Not disagreeing, just looking from another angle. Smart has a tough job

[cvietti23]

Yeah that's true. But when the guys like tyreke and Thornton and JT don't produce consistently, it forces him to the bench and usually tries to go with matchups since our bench isn't good enough to just say, well you go in. Jimmer, Hayes, T Rob and Thornton should be the only 4 players off the bench. And what's the correlation of we look like absolute **** when tyreke is in

[ZebraCity916]

1st possession of the game, we get a shot clock violation.

Thanks, Reke!!! Dribbling the ball for 10 seconds should really help us win this game!!!

[imbetterthanyou]

Terrific start...

[imbetterthanyou]

Keith Smart looks like Baron Samedi from that old James Bond movie.

Even though Robinson threw that ball in, that looked so nasty in real time

[iMac]

Jimmer Fredette...! I'm still waiting for Honeycutt to hook him up with a fade!

...and throw a NIKE headband on him! lol

[ZebraCity916]

Robinson still makes some of the dumbest rookie moves, but he's starting to come around. He's been playing well the last couple games.
