Kings vs Mavs - summer league

[OptimusRhyme]

Rays defense has impressed me the most, hes deflected like 6 or 7 passes and has 2 or 3 steals, he rotates well too. He kind reminds me of Kyle Lowry.

I don't know about yall, but it's so refreshing seeing set plays being ran. McLemore has run off that baseline screen 6 or 7 times now. Not the most brilliant play, but it's at least something to get the movement going offensively

Reggie had the cricket thing right.

also Vivek just lied about basketball being the fastest growing sport in India. Its actually Soccer.

Yep, was funny seeing Kerr so sure of himself when he was, in fact, wrong. Not that I'm a fan of cricket.


EDIT: Now they realise Kerr got it wrong!

 

[miltonap]

Whos #21?? I like that he's athletic but that's two possessions that he didn't close out on the shooter and played lazy defense.

I knew that. Not sure what Kerr was thinking of.

 

[Tetsujin]

Ray McCallum looking good... like really good... Far better than I thought he would be.

 

[cuad]

Gal Mekel is really running that Dallas team.

 

[Glenn]

The sign of aq star on a Kings team is how many dirty shots the fans take at him. McLemore has been anointed a star.

 

[spudfan]

That shot was from so far away!

Mekel has a little JJ Barea in him with his ability to get to the rim

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Ben gordon has looked pretty good. Mini birdman too.

 

[cuad]

Trent Lockett's (#22) shot looks really good.

 

[Bricklayer]

Shooting can be a special skill set. It doesn't have to be going to the hoop or being a shotblocker. Personally, I love shooters, especially paired with a C like Cousins. I have seen more off the ball movement with BMac then I have seen from any player from the Kings since Peja and Bibby.

Since you did decide he does not have a special skill set, I wonder how he could become special in your eyes?

Be very hard, and truthfully I have always doubted he would. But obviously the one route up is to be SUCH an amazing shooter that you reach "low special" level. Ray Allen will never be as good as Dwayne Wade. Too limited. But with his shooting being so elite he was better than almost everybody else.

The danger when you get a standard player is if the standard player does what he does at just an average level, or even a good level, you end up with Nick Young. Just a guy, like many guys.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

They just showed some Kings fans. Wonder if any of them are from Kingsfans.com?

 

[Uk kings fan]

Pound for pound really?!?

What about Ward or even Rigondeaux

honestly they are not doing well with the sports today

 

[Quix]

our first and second round picks look reversed.

 

[nickmcclure]

McLeLess today

 

[Chicken Chaser]

our first and second round picks look reversed.

Not the first time this has happened.

It's still the first game--maybe Bmac has some jitters+pressure

 

[Dime Dropper]

Ben really couldn't have struggled more in his first pro game. Not too significant, he won't shoot this poorly every game, but hopefully he has some good games to get his confidence up.

 

[ElRey]

Ben is really struggling with his shot today... First game jitters?

 

[Darren]

Ben

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Mayweather ruining the show.

Feel bad for McLemore. He's getting good looks but the shots aren't falling.

I am hoping with him being nurtured properly by the Kings organization, he will grow to be more than average. I see potential in him, but I see a couple major deficits!

 

[Amory]

Please tell me those people that were just chanting were some Kingsfans.com members.

Of course, there was the sign lady =D

 

[Sac.Kings]

McCallum is filthy. I want him to start, tradition be damned!

 

[lwc]

Is the game still on?

EDIT: Nevermind. Answered my own question.

 

[The_Jamal]

Drew Gordon is making himself a name here.
