They constantly have an open man at the 3 point line!

If there is a slight bright side, the Knicks lost too so we keep our lead for the 2 seed.

What does Scal mean "it's not a lack of effort". Has he been watching this game???

I don't think it was really a lack of effort either. It was partly turnovers, and partly shot 27% from three, and partly that the Kings went 7-10 from three in the 4th quarter.

Lost the TO battle 15 vs 8, lost the three-point battle 11 vs 18.

wow really disappointing after going 3-1 on the big road trip.
we come home and lose to a team worse than those other 4.

[Surferdad]

This team has problems in every phase of the game, and the coach refuses to make any adjustments. He cannot light a fire under these guys.

[keevsnick]

Sabonis finishes with only 28 rebounds. Bum.

Yeah, ridiculous gaslighting by Scal there. Everyone watching saw this team wasn't focused or interested in playing hard, smart basketball tonight. Just going through the motions.

At some point, we have to just look at what's going on and realize this team is just not as good as last year right now. Frustrating, and it's really all about effort and mentality.

Another game shooting in the 20s from 3.

I thought this will be a close game- I didnt think will get punched in the mouth. Turn over after turn over- Low Energy bench sucks. We need to bring energy even when we are not shooting well. We let Zabonus get 30 boards.

How the heck did this same team win a Championship a few months ago? They are a shell of themselves. 7 losses at home already is pathetic. Thanks for getting the weekend off to a crappy start boys.

[PAOBoston]

Punked at home again. Cs are a bad defensive team and a poor three point shooting team too.

C?s give up any shot the Kings want in the 2nd half

Cs keep on taking lazy deep 3?s that have no shot at going in

Even the layups the Cs take are difficult shots

This team is mentally weak and losing to the pressure of repeating as title winners

their missing KAT. hes like their best player this year.

Another game shooting in the 20s from 3.

It's almost like, "Hmm, maybe making our whole offensive identity around taking and making a historical amount of threes per game is not the best strategy?" It was a dumb strategy from the get-go, and it's paying the piper now that teams have figured out that they just need to run us off the three point line to get us out of whack.

The C's shot a grand total of 4 threes in the first 10 minutes of the fourth. Their problems tonight do not include taking too many threes.
