What an amazing tank job from the half brain Jordan Clarkson.

Things were under control on third. Then JC decided it's his world we live in, and accompanied by Kings improved pressure on our guards it turned into an utter **** show. Its unacceptable how little Collins and Markkanen, and also Flip got involved the last eighteen minutes.

Can't wait enough to get rid of JC.
Are you insane? JC is the perfect tank commander. For 2 nights where he will make you win, expect 8 where he will make sure we did lose !
 
What's the deal with Flip's free throws? He is currently at 30% for the season.
The "deal" is that he can't shoot. Simple as that. I know it's hard to comprehend since he's tall, white and went to Duke, but it is what it is.

Flip is a talented passer and decent ballhandler for his size, plus he doesn't back down, but it remains to be seen if he's an NBA level scorer. If he gets there, he's a career starter in this league... if he doesn't, he's in trouble. He's not a rim protector, rim runner or an above average rebounder.

Flip is like Luke Walton. A little-bit-of-everything guy who needs to share the court with several great players who get all the defensive attention, allowing him to fill in the blanks and keep the ball moving in creative ways.

It was funny reading tank fans panic on this chat without realizing how decimated the Kings rotation was.

The fact that we lost this game is actually a massive W for the tank, as playing a mid team like Kings without 3 of their 5 best players and with us having rest advantage felt like a schedule W.
 
On a sidenote while I think we played nice versatile offensive ball (by todays NBA standards), Kings lack of versatility was pretty disgusting.

Their whole gameplan had just two types of plays.
1) Let De'Aaron cook
2) Run some screen on the perimeter to get a 3 point attempt up

They had 2 players who had more than 2 attempts from inside the arc: Fox with 26, and Alex Len with 5 (most were putbacks after OReb).

Flip played in the 4th. He does get gassed when he plays more than 7-9 minutes straight
He played 3 minutes and 17 seconds. Clarkson subbed in at 7:02 left in the 3rd. He got a brief 55 second break in the 4th but subbed right back in and played the rest of the game.
