They need to talk about the whole ROY campaign last spring and put it to rest, and realize this is a new season and other teams know what he is trying to do and are going to shut him down if they can. Evans needs to do more give and go, and make hard cuts and get those kinds of back door passes that Vlade used to give Christie and Peja and Webber lots of points, and maybe they can watch some tape of those games and get a clue...<br /><br />On the other hand, those guys are so dang young, what can you say? Maybe they just need time to grow up a little and see how they respond.<br /><br />I remember seeing the Kings in 2002 get blown out by the Hawks, who sucked at the time, or the Knicks, or whoever, and Adelman didn't yell at them or anything. He just let them lose, if they weren't going to play defense or run the offense, and they lost. And they got the message, that it was up to them. And maybe these Kings will get the message with a nice losing streak, and see if that gets the players to "take it to the next level" or something.... We will see!Ricardo Sierrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12309141452704196175noreply@blogger.com
