However, this is one of those rare occasions where I get to disagree with Greg. I have not made my peace with Keith Smart, and only take solace in the fact that he's highly unlikely to be the Head Coach of the team next season. That may sound callous, but it's true. To be fair, I understand that Keith Smart has been dealt a bad hand. In a game of five card draw, he's got a King of Clubs, 7 of Hearts, a coupon for free Jack in the Box tacos, the Baltic Avenue Property Card from Monopoly and a plastic spoon.

But what frustrates myself and frustrates so many other fans is the fact that he doesn't make the use of what good he does have. Tonight was a good example as any.

The 4th Quarter is where things got really confusing however. Sacramento was down 11, a large deficit but in no way insurmountable. The defense definitely needed to step up, and guys needed to start hitting shots.

(On a quick aside, it appears that the fluky three point shooting that was sparking Sacramento's insane offensive output last month was just that, a fluke. Salmons has really cooled off and Isaiah, who was so good getting to the basket, went 0-7 from range. In the last three games, all losses, Sacramento's just 19 of 71 from three, or 26.2%)

Marcus Thornton played just 6 minutes (in a weird lineup that in no way suited his strengths) and shot just once. DeMarcus Cousins got only 9 minutes. Those are the 1st and 4th leading scorers on the team, and Thornton actually led the team in scoring the previous one and a half seasons. They were not on the floor during crunch time, in favor of TRAVIS OUTLAW and JAMES JOHNSON.

Even more frustratingly is that this is Sacramento's 4th straight loss at home, and with so much going on outside of the franchise with regard to its future, it's maddening when we can't even enjoy what we're fighting for.
