Absolutely right and I can't argue with that list. However, some of those stars cannot make their team a real contestant although they have tried it for years. Players like Chris Paul and Blake Griffin should have done better in my opinion because of the overall strength of the Clips roster over...

This made me do some thinking. While Boogie is certainly the most successful player from all these, some of the SAC 2nd round picks are shining today. Isaiah Thomas is a solid starter for the Celtics and Hassan Whiteside one of the Miami cornerstone pieces in rebuilding. Vlade has gotten a lot...

In my opinion players like Temple, Casspi and Collison are excellent value for the money. In other words, fantastic contracts for the team. If I could influence the decisions, I would keep them all and even pay a little more to Casspi and Collison. Players like Afflalo and Tolliver are too...

Well, I saw the game and it was not that one sided that many suggest. The major problem naturally was the difference in 3-PT shooting. The Rockets had a great day and everything went in while the Kings struggled from the 3-PT range. The difference there was 33 points. In my opinion,when a good...

OK, thanks! So, yes, the defense has clearly improved and the differential is now less than 1 point per game. There is a clear drop in scored points per game, but, in fact, the Kings are doing better offensively relatively to the rest of the league.

This is a very good analysis in my opinion.

Good point. I think the problem so far has been that the team has lost in Off Rtg more than it has gained in Def Rtg (if my memory is is not failing concerning last season). I actually think that Joerger has to get that right. The defense needed significant improvement, but that got to be fixed...

Starting from the end. Yeah, he can start and the team would play well. No, that's not where he's best (at least for now, but maybe he would grow with the job - or maybe not). Yes, Cisco was a great player and, by coincidence, Cisco was Omri's mentor during Omri's rookie year. They also played...

I know this and I'm not trying to tell you, at all, that Omri does not have bad games. However, most players do have them. I don't know what the basic reason for it is, but I guess that it is not only random fluctuation but has something to do with the teams they play against. Omri had a very...

Absolutely right! Garrett Temple is rapidly becoming my favorite King. The guy just seems to do everything right. When he and Casspi joined the starters at the beginning of the second half, the Kings started to play some very clever basketball. It looked like a mentality change of the whole...

That's pretty much on the spot. I think we saw again this night (beginning of the second half) that Omri as a starter would absolutely not be a disaster. Far from it. One of the things that I really like in Omri's game is the ball movement. When he is on the floor and he gets touches, the ball...

You're right, but I just wanted to say that it would not be a disaster. Casspi is not a selfish player and that helps a lot.

I was impressed by Garrett Temple's game in Washington and he has not disappointed me with the Kings. In my opinion the best signing last summer.

I don't think it would be a disaster. Casspi needs confidence to perform and you can see that he is improving lately. Probably Joerger is giving him more credit lately and it helps. Casspi had the best +/- of the team in this game and his stats were very respectable for 20 min on the floor!

I have been thinking that this may happen. Not because Casspi wants it, but because the Kings would have used him as a filler in another trade. I think the basic reason for this situation is that Casspi does not fit Joerger's system. Because Joerger will obviously spend a long time as the Kings...

I agree about the effort. It looked like the guys simply didn't care when the Lakers were closing. Casspi on the bench seemed more involved.

Seriously, it's not looking very good right now. Somehow the Kings don't seem to have an offensive plan and there is no serious defensive response either.

The poll looks like straight out of Russian elections. I voted the 7th option.

I hear what you are saying. Barnes did not have a good game last night and he made too many 3-point attempts because the second unit did not know how to deal with the Spurs defense. Yes, Omri is a better rebounder and a 3-point shooter than Barnes (or Tolliver), but maybe the coach was more...

Don't, because Kawhi Leonard is a pure product of Popovich. If the Kings had drafted him, he would probably be in the McLemore situation right now. The Spurs are are different kind of team. Pop is a dictator and the players have to accept that in order to stay on board. The Spurs are actually a...
