….sigh, would it be ok if one just ate a gummy, read a sci-fi book, and went to bed because they had to get up a 5am to do fatherly/work things instead of watching the game? Asking for a friend.

I don’t blame you at all. It’s getting more and more difficult to maintain more than a casual interest in this team.

Don’t collapse the paint. Don’t switch. Play McLaughlin, not C. Jones. Make 33% from 3.

Keon Ellis and I. Jones previously worked well off the bench early on so let’s put Huerter in instead.

Ellis outplayed Huerter to become the starter. Huerter gets minimal bench minutes, then gets hurt. Huerter healthy so Ellis back to the bench?

And defense is an issue, so play Huerter more?

wasn’t the whole team just emphasizing not to leave outside shooters open for unnecessary double teams in the post like Huerter just did?

And Huerter just let Reed go by with no resistance.

At least huerter has hit a few shots.

Also being targeted basically every defensive possession. At this pace, he needs to score 30 to counter the amount he is giving up.

This is either the start of a turnaround or a meaningless, frustrated display that signals the beginning of the end.

It only took a kerfuffle to get this team to show some fight.

Maybe they needed the realization that other teams in the league think they can just walk over the Kings.

Checked the box scores before turning on the game. Keegan has more than 10 and Huerter has some very productive minutes. We are up by 14.

Wonder how that works?

Amazing what happens when the rotation scores.

It is fitting that his breakout game was when Crowder got the well deserved start.

Well deserved because the bench was not at all productive.

He crashes to paint instead of floating out to the 3pt line, like Lyles would. Need a paint player for when Domas is on the bench, and Isaac does that well.
