Post-Game Thread: Kings at Rockets
Looks like this team needs some motivation for those 2nd and 3rd quarters, because we always seem to lose those.
Turnovers and Houston Threes. That's what really lost us this game. Also, since I didn't watch most of it, someone fill me in on why Cousins only played 26 minutes when he wasn't turning the ball over, was shooting over 50%, and wasn't in foul trouble?

First half of a back to back
And we were down by twenty for most of the second half? And Paul Westphal.

We need trades
This team is hard to watch. Probably worst team in the last 5 years but the best talent. We need some veteran leadership and we can see players not players as hard as they can. The players need to get in shape also.
I did this exact same thing tonight, only I was crying.

Answer to your question: Westphal
It seems like he still hasn’t decided on a rotation yet.
Really sets up an interesting chicken and egg dilemma. Is it Westphal’s fault because guys do not consistently know their roles? Or is it the players’ fault for not consistently showing up?
One thing, up and down the roster, has been consistent for us: inconsistency. It looks like JT might finally be turning a corner. Cousins might be figuring it out. Casspi is riding a hot streak right now. But who knows if that will continue, because either they will lose their mojo or Westphal will bench them randomly because it seems like a rule that all 12 guys have to get on the floor.
Hard to keep a rotation with all this losing
How can you set up a rotation with a team losing this bad. I can’t see any lineup that will work good. Seems like in some spots a lineup is good but other games they stink it up. We need to shake things up by major trades, not 14th man players like J. Taylor
We got free money for getting Taylor

DMC played really good
Westphaul needs to keep his best player in the game. I saw few times during the game when DMC gets going and PW takes him out. Mid first quarter, Mid Second quarter, and the rest of the game. He was the best player on the court and PW kept on taking him out. There was no foul trouble.
THIS
DMC was playing great in the first half and PW kept pulling him. I’m ready for Landry to go so PW just doesn’t have the option anymore. Boogie should have played more minutes, especially in the first half.
Back to backs
like ASSN said, there weren’t enough competetive minutes to surrender him for tomorrow’s game.

Awful defense as well
Houston got whatever they wanted whenever they wanted it (or got the offensive rebound when they didn’t).
Don’t know why DMC didn’t play more, especially since it was basically garbage time from the mid 3rd quarter on.
Minutes up front
26 Cousins
32 Cousins
27 Landry
All of these guys were reasonably effective.
9 Dalembert. A waste of time, but only 9 minutes.

That's the weird thing about this game
Almost everyone was “reasonably effective” on offense tonight. But the whole damn team seemed to not understand that the other team gets a chance to score after you do, and you’re totally allowed to try to stop them.

Adding
The beginning of the end in this game was our guards and forwards turning the ball over like crazy late in the 2nd quarter. It was not a result of the big man rotation.
SACTOWN ROYALTY - Try our thick creamy shakes!
The problem isn't that the bigs didn't get playing time
Its that:
a) they were yanked in and out like a yo-yo. I wish I had a substitutions sheet that showed what the subs Westphal made were because it seemed like a new big was checking in every two minutes
b) the guards/forwards were not terribly inclined to get them the ball down in the post. I’m tired of this seniority nonsense. Westphal needs to put his foot down, and demand that Cousins or JT be put in positions to score (Cousins can post up and beat his man one-on-one, JT can get looks by moving without the ball). Head and Beno are the biggest culprits here.
I didn't see the whole game (missed all of the 1st quarter and part of the 2nd)
but I saw Cuz getting the ball in the post quite a bit, and scoring with it. Again, scoring really wasn’t our problem in this game. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was near our season high FG% for us tonight. It was the repeated turnovers and the complete inability to stop Houston from scoring.

by prowseinthehouse on Dec 14, 2010 8:57 PM PST up reply actions
We scored 18 in the second quarter
And 24 in the third, by the end of which it was already garbage time. Plus
Not saying that defense isn’t a problem. But with guys like Landry who is just a bad defender, and guys like Cousins and Casspi who are learning, its not exactly fixable except with time and learning to rotate faster and trusting eachother.
The offense really should be more organized than it is right now though. THAT is fixable right now. How many fast break opportunities did the Rockets get off terrible turnovers or forced shots? Either Westphal is failing to implement a gameplan, or the players are not listening.
Or the players brain locked and did not execute for about 5 minutes
Simply, the guards and wings played like sh*t for the last 5-6 minutes of the 2nd quarter, and then came out in the 3rd the same way. Westphal doesn’t teach a cross court pass like the one Casspi threw away, nor does he implement an offense that led his guards to turn the ball over 11 times.
This is where the Westphal bashing leaves me flat. At some point the players have to be accountable. Is Westphal the future? No. But Red Auerbach himself could not have prevented what the guards and wings did at the end of the 2nd and beginning of the 3rd quarters. And it was really all of them, so you can’t blame him for playing the wrong guys. Maybe that’s why the rotations were a little wacky. He was trying to find somebody – anybody! – that would value the damn ball.
SACTOWN ROYALTY - Try our thick creamy shakes!
Red Auerbach was no great shakes until he had Bob Cousy.
And, originally, Auerbach refused to have anything to do with Cousy.

Doesn't the coaches style of play or offense scheme play any part in our failure?
Look at Pooh’s pass to Omri for a turnover. Pooh got stuck along the sideline and tried to pass out, and Omri wasn’t even looking for a pass. Why was Pooh even over there and why did he pick up his dribble.
Look at how many times we pass the ball from one side of the court to the other by taking it out of the guards hands and passing it thru one the the bigs at the top of the Key. Putting the ball in one of our young bigs hand is just begging for a turnover. And, why did we need to move the ball from one side to the other in the first place, no one on the other side is in any better position to score. No ones moving or cutting off screens
We had JT, DMC and Landry taking 20 ft jumper from the right wing off of no screens or picks. We’re simply force feeding the ball into them and letting them go one on one, and since their defender is playing off of them to keep them from dribbling, they’re forcing our bigs to play like SG’s and SG’s. And, when they do put the ball on the court they either get called for traveling, or get the ball stolen by the time they get to the paint and they run into the double team.
Yea, that outlet pass of Casspi’s was lame but at least he was trying to be aggressive and get the ball up the court quickly. I’d rather see that then all the needless passes back and forth in the half court with no real purpose in mind.
Too me, Westphal’s system is too unstructured for a young inexperienced team and is better suited for veterans who know each others game. And, because it’s unstructured, young inexperienced players are going to make errors in judgement, and turnovers. And, that’s why when the pressure is put on them by the other team, they panic and make mistakes.
Yea, the guards throw the ball away, but it’s the structure of the offense that puts them in the position to make those bad passes.

Does the coach play a role?
Yes. Do the decisions of the players play an equal or greater role? Yes.
So fire the coach because it is the path of least resistance – because it is easier than firing the players.
Sorry, but I will not move off of this opinion – you remove Westphal when he has lost this team (which has not happened) or when the level of talent calls for a next-level coach (which has not happened).
We have made change for the sake of making change (Adelman begat Musselman begat Theus begat Natt begat Westphal). It has not worked.

I wasn't advocating firing Westphal
I was just defending the players.
I was thinking back to the days when we were all crying for the Kings to give the rookies PT. And, PW has done a good job with all are young guys when it comes to playing time. Tyreke and Cousins get a little more leeway than Donte & Casspi, but at least they’re all playing.

The offense was damn sharp. Don’t throw the ball out of bounds every third play and put a little effort into defense and rebounding, and this would’ve been a tight, fun game. Those guys stole a lovely evening from me with their sloppiness.

Fun Fact
As Coach Westphal recently pointed out, the 2nd quarter is by far our worst quarter. Tonight, the Kings were outscored by 13 points in the 2nd quarter. What was the final margin tonight? You guessed it, Kings fans. 13.
The moral of the story is, PW needs to play the starters for the entire first half, no matter what. Fouls, injuries, whatever. No subs until the 3rd quarter.

Answer:
Westphal, Paul.

Cousins
Cousins cost himself about 5 minutes when he picked up that technical. Westphal wisely and correctly got Cousins out of the game before Cousins had the opportunity to permanently get himself out of the game. And again, Thompson and Landry also played reasonably well.
Good grief, people. Westphal does plenty during the game that you can question him on. There is no need to manufacture crap.

So why didn’t DMC get any more of those 17 minutes? I’ll take more DMC minutes at the expense of Top Hat minutes in this type of game any time.
(Not trying to be a pr*ck, but I really can’t see why DMC didn’t get more minutes)
Easy
I was at the game and DMC had a negative attitude the entire game. He was clearly frustrated with the team’s play and shook his head and arms down the court several times. Every non-call on DMC and he did his best JT impression all the way down the court.
He’s got to learn some self control. He was unstoppable in the post tonight. The Rocketx had no answer.
by Mityt on Dec 14, 2010 9:08 PM PST via mobile up reply actions
He is very annimated
But you have to admit, that block on the glass was clean and all ball, and then he got slapped across the arm at the other end with no foul called. He is getting singled out a lot by the refs and that HAS to be frustrating. Should he show it bothers him less? Maybe. I for one, appreciate seeing someone play with some passion and desire though. Its not as though he just pouts all the time, he has some valid complaints AND he is just as excited and animated when something great goes down on offense. Unlike Brad Millers pouting, this kid doesn’t bother me when he shows his emotions.
I was uncool before it was cool
Westphal claimed preemptive strikes
in the post-game interview; that he kept taking Demarcus out because he was tired, and a tired beast of a center is a foulin’ beast of a center. (Get him out before he has the chance to get into foul trouble.) I’m not really buying into that, though, with only 2 fouls on the night. Maybe Westphal’s just trying to prod Demarcus into getting into better shape.

This "shape" subject
drives me nuts. The kid is still learning the NBA game, and perhaps THAT is why he looks lost at times. I dont think he is all that out of shape. He may not be sinewy and sleek, but neither is Paul Pierce or Zach Randolph, or a slew of other very good, if not great, players. He is never going to be that skinny guy everyone thinks a basketball player has to be to succeed.

If you have to take one behind the barn and shoot him, I suggest it be Luther Head. If you will give Taylor some playing time and suffer through some mistakes, you’ll be happy.

If Taylor scores more than 2 points, he'll have been more effective than FA signing Antoine Wright was
