    Man, things looked good there for like 5min. Now back to Sacramento scoring every time down and being down 1-2pts constantly.

    I don’t think anything is as bad as this defense. EG definitely a close second.

    I'm honestly interested in seeing how good the kings will be like 20 games later.

    We kinda have a stacked roster at the versatile 2,3 spot. Not only that, we're trying to get a trade done and we can't trade anyone who isn't even good enough to get on the court.

    And when you take into account minutes played and usage it is much more informative.

    A high minute, high usage players +/- is more telling than just a rotation player who only catches and shoots.

    What he really needs to do is gain some mass. He's extremely skilled and explosive. But he can get pushed around easily. Therefore he can't always get good positioning. He gets pushed around easily.

    We were smaller last year. We just had better coaching, system and players.

    Why not trying to play zone? Try something .. whatever they are running defensively is not working

    I think the Kings offense is just a lot better than we are used to seeing from them. They play very fast and put shots up very quickly.

    This. His biggest problem is his frame or lack there of. He's the skinniest guy on the team by a long shot.

    A combination of not boxing out, bad rotations, and the Kings not missing a freaking 3 lol. Not good.

    If we'd just put a body on someone for rebounds these second chance points crap will stop.

    Stacked is a stretch with the horrible defense that they play. We don’t need guys who play only offense out there. It’s nice to have a mix. Especially with Harden is a walking offense himself. Just dumb coaching.
