Chuck Hayes acknowledged the Kings defensive problems, saying "we just don't talk." Hayes added, "if you wire everybody up (during a game), I bet it would be silent." The Kings are struggling defensively, and the team ranks last in shooting in the NBA. Rookie Isaiah Thomas added "we're not a good-communicating team, but we're getting better." Acknowledging the problem is one thing, but executing the plan successfully is entirely different.
