    Dame needs to open his eyes and realize there's better coaches out there.

    While i'm not panicking at all, I kind of expected this loss for reasons I posted earlier, the team looks out of sync when it comes to the do or die moments. Thats on Stotts because that comes down to coaching and "muscle memory" and if we are that out of sync then its Stotts job to coach that out of the players and he isn't doing that.

    Yes! Because we don't have enough talent! Kings have so much more! Let's get their GM!

    If Dame requested a trade I would not blame him a single bit and honestly I’d be happy for him

    He deserves it. He doesn’t owe shit to this city or organization. He’s put everything he has into it and they invested in Meyers Leonard Moe Harkless and Evan Turner. Embarrassing.

    Dame would never do it because he’s so loyal but honestly I wish he would. Send him somewhere he actually has a chance. He deserves it.

    Who pissed iman off so much? I missed the first 3 quarters

    That play by stotts was so bad. It was like he said look for the lob, if it’s not there just have dame run until he’s open and pass it to him no matter.

    From now on, Stotts's M...M...M...moves shall now be known as Marmoset. Good call @oldmangrouch

    Can't call him Moron, can't call it Moran....because that is one of the assistants.

    I don't think we trade CJ this year unless we get a great offer. He is in a giant slump and his value probably hasn't ever been lower, I think we explore a trade for him in the off seasons. ET needs to go but I still wouldn't give up assets to get him off the team just cut his minutes and hope that next year his giant expiring makes a team want him for FA space that year.

    I don't feel sorry for him. He's a millionaire. He will be fine

    I don't understand how CJ has regressed this far, literally no reason for it. Dude has a good head on his shoulders, and is surrounded by hard workers, etc etc.

    Maybe he just wants his own team, but this game was alarming. He looked like he was just going through the motions.

    Lol, that doesn’t make any sense.

    His entire life is basketball. He’s clearly a competitor. I guarantee you it is driving him insane knowing this team will never contend

    Hurd is trying to be nice and calling it back-to-back "breakdowns" on two of the final plays.

    I'd like to know what he really thinks.

    Against a sacramento team that hemorrhages points to the Center position. He just looked dead tired the entire game, I don't think we can count on him for over 30 minutes a night every night because he just isn't conditioned to be able to do that.
