The same thing happens every game - they'll play alright for a bit and then bam they"ll go through this ridicolous period when they don't run the offense, take bad shots and generally run around like headless chickens.

They need a PG in these times to just slow them down, organise the troops and get them through their stuff - I suppose they had intended someone like Markovic to play this role with Cadee and Thornton being the more edgy and aggressive guards.

What's actually really funny is that the way the Breakers are playing now through this stretch is the way the Kings have been playing all season. The parallels are exactly the same - poor shots, not running offense, quick shots, players trying to do more than they can do.

No, Wookiee is referring to the Australian dollar, I believe you Paul, are referring to the American dollar.

The season before White was supposed to be the Kings defensive player of the year, but last season took a huge dive in that aspect as well...

If I had five cents and then I got another five cents, that's a 100% improvement, but it's still only ten cents...

I think Markovic was supposed to play a significant PG role this season, but that hasn't worked out... Things could have been a bit different if he'd have been able to play a bigger role, but not nearly as significant as if we'd have gotten Lisch...

Spot on re: White, his flaws are much easier to cover up when you have Lisch, Penney, AJ, Forman and even Martin and Coenraad on the same team, as well as a proper coach...

Can't attract a good coach when you pick the team for them and don't let them run it the way they know it should be run...

Every year the Kings miss out of the PG/SG position.

Thornton can't be scrapped because of contract with Celtics.

It all comes down to the coach.

The good coach attracts the good players to their club. They also run good plays and instil confidence. The Hawks offensive plays get open shots, the Kings get one on one plays with shots under pressure.

Kevin White were absolutely useless for 3 years with the Kings, but Bevo has taught him, Ellis and Weeks to shoot well and play smart.

If Lisch was a King, the team would be in the playoffs. Full stop! Caddee would have benefitted massively & had way more space to operate on the wings. Plus, Caddee runs a pick and roll pretty well & having a shooter of Lisch's calibre as a kick out or skip pass option woulda made Caddee kill it off those picks!

Any news on who the Kings have signed for next season? If Garlepp goes that's a massive shot in the heart : (

Totally agree, paul, even that ONE single roster change would have made SUCH a huge difference to our season... He would have kept the team focused, lead by example at both ends and really kept them in games single handedly, I have no doubt...

Some people have said that maybe $$$ was the issue, but with I think only $150K needing to go against Chill's marquee contract under the cap, surely they could have managed it?
