Game Thread GAME# 11: BLAZERS @ KINGS - NOVEMBER 12, 2019 - TUESDAY, 7:00 PM, NBATV & NBCSNW

I'm not saying he was. Just noting the efficiency.

 

Tolliver, Hezonja, and Gasol are all on minimum contracts. Portland is grossly overpaying

 

Give the Kings credit they out hustle us and they pretty good defense. For it lackluster effort by majority of the team. Right now we inexperienced players and the ones that inexperienced are not very talented. I glade Stotts getting some the younger players to gain experience.

 

meh. Dame made a number of mistakes and missed open players quite often tonight. Some of his misses were terrible shots (for example, near the end he had a wide open lane and took a lean-in 3). Our whole team is in a mental funk.

 

Everybody? Vegas and most national media had us winning less games than last year. Fans who had been banging on Olshey to get rid of Aminu and Harkless thought (aka hoped) their wishes were going to lead to more wins.

 

Is Terry gonna wake up and actually hold his players accountable? Season is about to slip out of their hands if he doesn't do anything.

 

Mario looks clueless out there tonight.

 

how far?

 

Accountability wouldn't even be 10 top on our list of problems. You want Stotts to make chicken salad out of chicken s***, well that isn't going to happen.

 

Season slipped when Zach's arm fell off and Rodney's back freaked out.....we're playing Trent Jr and Moses Brown ...good news is our bench will get better even if we lose some games early on.

 

Agreed. Which is why no team was willing to pay him for than the vet minimum.

 

Vegas and media ALWAYS say we’ll suck. That’s known.

I don’t mean LITERALLY everybody but a lot of folks here INCLUDING myself thought we made upgrades and praised Olshey.

The problem is we shouldn't suck THIS bad. I can understand losing to good teams because we’re new abd getting use to each other. But to lose to the Santa Cruz Warriors and Kings without their best players, something is wrong.

I’ve said it before but I believe something negative is happening behind the scenes we don’t know about. You can’t just suck this bad.

 

The Warriors roster was filled with all rookie and minimum guys.

 

Luke Walton is talking about how he’s been emphasizing defense during their recent win streak... thinking back on it, the Kings played very solid, high-intensity defense all night.

 

Aminu probably are ready made his mind made up to leave due he sign pretty quick when the time to sign same as Curry. Harkless well Olshey need a center to replace Nurk so he trade for Whiteside and Harkless and Leonard match up with Whiteside contract.

 

I agree with you. If you go back to the game thread, I said we should've won that game and I bet the next time we play them, we will beat them.

Again, when you roll out a roster where you're always going to have guys on the floor who are liabilities at one or both ends of the floor, you are going to be subject to lose. Like all NBA teams, we'll win and lose games we shouldn't. Overall though, we're going to be losing a lot more until our front court is healthy again.

 

I actually noticed the first ones were the regular kind. Lol. It's ok though- I've found that the glowing ones are easier to find on my nightstand, when I wake up hungry at 3am....

(And now I have to go check our Safeway tomorrow. Thanks. Lol)

 

I guess we'll just have to disagree.

Right now we basically took Nurk, Collins, Hood, Aminu, Harkless, Meyers, Turner, Curry, and Jake off the roster and replaced them with Whiteside, Baze, Mario, and Tolliver. If ANYONE thinks that exchange is an upgrade, they're going to continue to be disappointed.
