A few Feb 2 Kings notes

[insidehoops]

1. First half malaise: It's as if the Kings don't take the first half seriously. In the three losses on this road trip, they've been dominated in either the first or second quarter and trailed by 15-plus points. The Kings aren't good enough to turn on the intensity when they're down.

2. Defense, please: Denver and Boston both shot better than 60 percent in the first half of their wins. Philadelphia flirted with 60 percent most of the first half.

3. Offensive efficiency: Sacramento is shooting 38.5 percent in its last two games (59 of 153).

They have to fire Keith Smart and trade some players away for better pieces its really that simple, the coaching structure and talent is just lacking when you are down by 50 to the Knicks something is very wrong.
