Again, this game was lost by Coach McMuffin. I still don't understand McMuffin's strategy when he plays Joel for the 1st five minutes of the game and then another 3 or 4 minutes in the 2nd quarter. When Joel is out, the team has been inefficient on defense, and most recently, terrible as Portland relies to much on jump shots (BTW, my man Charles Barkley is right on with his analysis of Portland being a jump shooting team and they will not make the playoffs). Mike and Mike mentioned Joel had 9 rebounds in the 1st half and had a rebounding advantage (The Kings aren't even that good of a rebounding team but with Joel out for Portland, the Kings looked like rebounding magnets in the second half)...
BUT in the 2nd half, Joel would pick up his 3rd foul in like the 9 minute mark or so in the 3rd quarter and would not see action again... until it was to late... Why put him in down 6 with 2 minutes to go?? You needed those stops on defense before falling too far behind that late you dumbass!!
