Prior to Sacramento’s loss to the Nuggets on Monday night, Kings’ sideline reporter Kayte Christensen spoke about Dave Joerger’s satisfaction with the types of shots his team has been getting. Simply put, according to our Head Coach, the Kings are taking good shots throughout the game, but they just aren’t falling. That little nugget struck me as either a coach trying to keep his team encouraged, or as a lack of willingness to structure an offense around efficient shots.
It’s no secret that the Kings offense flat-out stinks. We score the fewest points per game in the league; have failed to score more than 90 points in 7 out of 17 games, have only reached 100 points or more four times, and our depressingly obvious inability to put the ball in the bucket displays itself on a nightly basis.
