Imagine being a fan of the Kings and having their owner trade the super popular Light the Beam Team of Sabonis, Fox, Heurter, and Barnes for Zach LeVine and RJ Barrett.

The pick swap getting tastier and tastier with each passing year.

In hindsight, I wish we would have been giving HB's minutes to Sochan during this drought HB has been on. No way to know he would be down this long.

Sochan + Kornet was -21.1 net (no Wemby)
Sochan + Wemby was -7.1 net (no Kornet)


But the on off split for Sochan this year is -11.4 total.

Barnes+Wemby was +8.8
Barnes+Kornet was +6.7

Barnes total on off is -1.3. the offense is a lot better with him in, but the defense really suffers with him in and is better with him out.

Even with Barnes cold the last two dozen games, he contributed more than Jeremy. Jeremy was just so limited that he brushed out offense

Jeremy's net on off was -11.4. Bryant's is -3.4. Barnes is -1.3. it's not perfect accounting, but it does adequately demonstrate that Sochan didn't work with Vic or Luke and he was only really useful as a small ball center instead of Bismack.

Well if the Rockets are going to shoot 100% it's gonna be a long night.

After how frustrating our last game against Houston was I was expecting us to be primed and ready to go tonight.

Boy was I wrong.

Weird to have Harper and Fox both on the bench at the same time. Who needs a PG?

hey the other day you said that Matt Nielsen and Mike Noyes were in charge of the replays. Where did you see that?

When Castle stole the ball and asked for a replay saying Houston tipped it out, it looked like Noyes was the 2nd row coach that turned it down, but Matt Nielsen was in the front row, not second row with a screen.

Just wondering. Whoever does it sucks balls.

It's like they are way too scared to be wrong.

Castle needs to chill. Dude has 4 TO's already. More than the entire Rockets team combined.

They are wrong more than any other team and they barely use it.

When Castle asked for it there, Noyes indicated that Castle was the one that tipped it out, not Houston. ESPN didn't replay it so no idea what the right call is.

I'm kind of interested in what coaches do what. Like I feel like Corliss Williamson is probably the guy that revitalized Keldon, because Keldon's game seems so much like Corliss now. I know Nielsen is a big man coach. Jimmy Baron is allegedly a shooting coach.

I saw a bit of it early season. When I went to the New Orleans game and sat by the Spurs bench, spent some time just watching how the coaches operate. It was those two sitting with iPads. They'd look at the play. Then would give a thumbs up thumbs down. If they didn't both agree then no challenge. Mitch would look to them to see whether he needed to challenge.

And agreed they suck at it. In my observation, Noyes is uber conservative. When I've caught it during games, seen several times where Nielsen was thumbs up and Noyes thumbs down. They need to take his iPad and give it to someone else.

He has 2 TOs. One was getting his cookies stolen and the other was when he jumped up, but was in a bad position and had to pass out and Sengun tipped it.

Corliss was working with Keldon and Bryant pregame when we went. Talked to him a bit, he was having a blast working with the team. Good dude.

Hey Wemby pass that. Trying to go point center when he's got Dylan ahead on the right wing.

They took 2 off then, because he definitely had 4 listed when I posted that.

Yeah, I think Corliss has been a good pickup. He's the kind of guy we need. Championship experience, worked hard all the time, brought the big nasty. I wasn't sure about him as a coach because he hasn't seemed to progress much, but he seems like a really good hire.

Wemby triple teamed and no one moved to help or cuts to the basket. Just dumb hoop

He sucks but our guys are just standing around spectating. All the way up to Wemby. Something seriously wrong structurally with this team.

He is intentionally taking Wemby out of the game with bull**** calls, but Jabari can wind up and hit Wemby in the face and for some reason that is not a flagrant like it is on everyone else in the league?

Undercutting is a flagrant, but not for Tony Brothers on DFS. But while Wemby is shooting FTs, we somehow get a delay on Mitch?
