Well, the 2-month trial starts now.

Just for the sake of originality, can anybody name something Scott did well last night in our win?
I love an echo chamber as much as the next guy. But I don't believe any person is completely one dimensional (completely good or completely bad).
That ish only flies in children's fairy tales.

He played Tarik Black. That's about it.
He did a fantastic job in the way he called DLO's name to have him come off off the bench? I dunno, bar is so low. |

Played Bass at PF & finally played Tarik Black.
Ran a lot of Horns with both of them on the floor, and it was very effective. |

Lol. |
I'm just enjoying tonight, but this is the truth. |
That's the best you can do when your system is ISOcentric and your defensive schemes are equally as bad |
And I wouldn't say that none of the kids played badly, their defense was horrible. Decent defense and they win by 20. |
I don't think their energy on defense was horrible. That's what I was alluding to in my post --- Byron consistently puts his teams in positions to fail defensively with his archaic schemes and rotations (Lou Will guarding Wiggins with single coverage  ), which is why it was a close game. |

| Does anyone have the minutes played per quarter breakdown of the players? Didn't Byron play Tarik the whole second quarter? I believe he tweaked his ankle at one point. |

Thanks for the effort.
We can all go back to crapping on him now. Just wanted to see what people would come up with.

Guess Bass is better utilized at PF.
Who would have guessed....besides every coach he's had before Scott.

I thought his substitutions in the 4th, bringing in Kobe and Randle, was well timed and helped get the win.

Lol for real. Only took byron half a season to figure out what every coach in Bass's career already had. |

He actually out-coached Sam Mitchell that fourth quarter.
I remember watching Minnesota run P&R with Lavine as the ball handler (35% 3PT%) while Rubio and Wiggins spotted up on the wings (both below 30% 3PT shooters). That made me laugh.

I couldn't believe we won that game giving up 57.5% to them and being out rebounded. Making a lot of shots we normally miss helped as well as low turn overs.
Byron still sucks!
Although at least he played Black some. |

Is Lou/JC quite possibly the worst defensive backcourt in the NBA?

And you add Kobe to that equation on defense & you quickly realize why we have been playing the worst badketball in the NBA

| Alvin Gentry gave Byron a run for his money tonight. Pelicans' clock management at the end was awful. |

speaking of James Worthy and the the Showtime Cartel:
Sactown Royalty: “I think i could come off this set and do a much better coaching job right now.” – @TheBobbyJackson NOT holding back on George Karl
Kings TV analyst Bobby Jackson called for coach George Karl to be fired during a postgame rant: ” … And after the All-Star break, he can leave.” – via ESPN.com |

Sacramento has went through like 3 coaches. I think their problem is personnel and Management. |
