Kings (7-11) at Celtics (10-8) Game #19 12/2/16

Give Boogie a Locker.

Put everybody else but Horford and Smart and Crowder on a bus to Sac town

Send Smart out keep IT, Smart is overrated on here.

Smart has been terrible the last two games but he's had a great season so far. Have some patience. Just two games.

He'll start having an impact on these games again.

He's a solid player and I do think he will get better, but I would have no problem putting him in a package for an All-star.

The starters are good, the bench is not. This roster is incomplete

We need better bench bigs

K.O. and Jerebko have been excellent bench bigs for years!  That is not the problem.

They're fine, but they're both completely perimeter oriented. The only big Smart can run a good pick and roll with is Zeller, and Zeller is awful

We have a lot of issues with our bench, and our bigs are one of them

^^The C's have put up ridiculously good numbers with Olynyk on the floor for years and still people make comments like this.  K.O. and Jerebko have been quite possibly the best defensive pairing in the league statistically since Jerebko's arrival here.  Perimeter oriented is a GOOD thing.

Perimeter oriented is fine when playing with a guy that can create for himself (since doubles will leave a big open on the outside for a three), but with a guy like Smart doing the ball handling, we need a big that can score in the post (aka create for himself), run the pick and roll, or set good picks to spring the ball handler or shooters free. The Jerebko/KO pairing does none of those things.

They're a great pairing with someone like IT out there, but with Smart/Rozier/Brown out there you need someone that can play inside

Edit: they were great with Turner last year, too

[SHAQATTACK]

Looks like we're leaving a turd again

LOL

Perimeter oriented is fine when playing with a guy that can create for himself (since doubles will leave a big open on the outside for a three), bit with a guy like Smart doing the ball handling, we need a big that can score in the post (aka create for himself), run the pick and roll, or set good picks to spring the ball handler or shooters free.

Maybe we should bring back Phil Pressey to rekindle that Olynyk Pressey Magic.

Uggh, IT has been terrible.

Crowder thought he was Kobe Bryant for a second.

Okynyk awkwardly ends up on the floor 2-3 times a game.

[dreamgreen]

This game is f-ugly.

[SCeltic34]

The inability of the C's to rebound off of missed free throws drives me nuts.  It happens almost every game.

[BitterJim]

Isaiah is at least doing a good job of forcing turnovers today

[SHAQATTACK]

Got play faster

[dreamgreen]

Okynyk awkwardly ends up on the floor 2-3 times a game.

Usually trips over his own 2 feet.

Okynyk awkwardly ends up on the floor 2-3 times a game.

2-3 could easily be on the low side, unless some of his aren't awkward... although everything he does is a little awkward.

[jpotter33]

God, I absolutely hate when Bradley forces shots, especially at the basket.

[BitterJim]

Horford needs to look for his own shot
