Kings cut the lead to 4
Kings cut the lead to 4
Hornets having an easy time getting in the paint. Back to back slams for Lopez. TO Kings down 4.
Nice Hornets team. Vasquez is just underrated. No pts, but 11 assists already.
Setting up his mates with a deftness.
Hornets 13 pt lead down to 4. 6 3s in the Qtr by the Kings
4th Qtr action: 88-83 Hornets. Kings shooting lights out from 3.
Kings now down 17. Shrek calls a TO with 2 min left. His plan? Salmons for 6 consecutive 3s to won the game.
2 pts dunk Patterson. Kings get torched in the last 6 min and get blown out. Looks like a winless roadtrip, unless Kings can get 1 in Orlando!
Notes of the game:
Terrible turnovers.
No defense. No defense at all. Not even accidental defense.
Tyreke is Ty-rrible.
Smart coaches this team like he is playing pin the tail on the donkey.
Lots of one on one.
Team mentally flakes when the game is close and starts to get away.
John Salmons channeled his inner Dale Ellis.
The Kings are at the point where you just want the season to end, and for things to be blown up. This is just brutal and not even worth watching.
Notes for next season:
Don't exercise option on JJ
Pick up option on IT
Extend Cousins
Trade Evans for anything
Decline option on Douglas
Dump Thornton for anything
Dump Outlaw
Dump Hayes
Dump Jimmer
Dump Aldrich
Pay Brooks to not pick up his player option
Fire Smart
Tell Petrie he is a dick
Essentially keep Cousins/IT/Patterson/JT and burn the rest like witches
It's been a long time since I can remember a player so physically gifted as Evans but so challenged every other place.
Love how Smart spends the entire post game interviews with positive comments about how great the Kings played. Yes Smart. The last half of the game didn't matter.
Heard the game on the radio.
I can't think of the right words to describe hearing a 5 point 4th quarter game with 9:11 to go, turn into a game in which they trailed by 20.
Here's a thread I should make about it:
Blow Job:
* Kings lead by 12 against NY only to trail by 56.
* Kings are within 5 against New Orleans in the 4th only to trail by 20.
He misses layups with regularity and his IQ has always been low. Can't wait to to see Reke bolt.
Shrek is hoping Patterson elevates his game to Rudy Gay/ Harden status.
