this great offensive performance feels kinda wasted

Hey guys I just came up with the Lebron drinking game. Take a drink every time either TNT brings up Lebron's name on the all-time scoring list or when Lebron complains to the refs.

I'm drunk.

Although they didn't win, the Jaylen Brown experiment looks like a success.

I'll play your game if you're willing to pay my hospital bill

Hard to be mad at losing this game. Back to back and without two starters and another rotation guy?

We're going to be a tough out for Cleveland in the playoffs. I can guarantee you they would rather see anyone else in the East other than us.

[Monkhouse]

We've got a promising future with Brown, Smart, Rozier, and Bradley. We just need some bigs to blossom.

It's getting harder to think of trading any of these guys, even for an upgrade in someone like Cousins.

I'm not convinced any of them will ever be better than Cousins...

We're talking about a perennial top 10 player, someone that could potentially become MVP in the right team.  His FG % is pretty dreadful, but he can still rebound, pass, and improved immensely as a defender. Don't let his bad attitude, and terrible team take into account how much better the Kings are with Cousins, and without.

But, yes I would love to keep Bradley, and Smart. If it takes Brown for Cousins... So be it.

Because the defensive performance left more than a little to be desired.

Definition of a moral victory. We didn't give up, hung with the champs missing huge players on a back to back, and our prized rookie looks like an absolute stud. About as enjoyable of a loss as possible.

Kudos to smart for having a fairly efficient game.

Are you trying to get people's stomachs pumped?

[Granath]

That's why you don't purposely tank games. This is one of those games where a loss, while not preferable, still contributes to the growth of this team down the road.

Agreed. Very satisfied all things considered.

Yeah I definitely didn't expect to win this one.  The only thing I'm disappointed in is giving up 128 points.  Even if we're missing a bunch of key players that's just too much.

It was the most anti-Smart game ever: efficient offense and a horrible +/-.

What are those ridiculous off-ball screens Jaylen is setting?!?! Kid still got a lot to learn. Crazy exciting though...

Yea, those seemed...uninspired.

I hope he is just a bit lost off-the-ball and still learning the screening schemes of Brad's offense. No need to panicola just yet..
