[Game] Warriors @ Kings - 10/23/13 - pre-season

#97
Jimmer has looked better this year. i think playing off the ball has helped him a lot. but by reading posts on here about his minutes,i guess im in the minority when i say im not sure why he has been playing so much in the preseason. i feel like McLemore should be playing most minutes (to get acclimated to the NBA) followed by MT

man right when they finally get Vasquez in there with Ben he's putting Jimmer right back in..... i just dont get it. i really wanted to see vasquez/ben/salmons/ppat/cousins get some run

I agree, without Ben, Vasquez seams fixed on giving the ball to DMC no matter what. That may be the plan, but you can not be so obvious!
 
Why in the ef is John Salmons in the game? Get him out please I can't stand his presence on the court. He does absolutely nothing to warrant his time on the court. The defense has been terrible. I don't know how many times they had open guys standing right next to the basket. Gotta sharpen it up a little bit! Let's hope for good halftime adjustments
 
I am not sure Cousins can pop out and switch on all these screens to cover Curry for Jimmer. It is causing lots of problems with open bigs in the lane.
 
at least let Ben play instead of Salmons if you are wanting to see more Jimmer minutes. i don't understand why you wouldnt want to get your rook as much nba experience as possible before the season starts

Okay, half-time show... Kayte doing an interview with the guy who thought of the Breast Cancer research stamp. Nice to see a topical interview to go with the theme of the night. :)
 
i just haven't seen anything from Jimmer that makes me think he should be playing when the regular season gets here. really other than a 3-pointer in the first quarter, what has he done for us tonight?
 
replace Salmons with Mbop and that lineup will be better. Better yet, just take dead fish out of the lineup completely. Does he actually do anything? Greivis played very sloppy that half. He's obviously rusty. Warriors are playing tight D. We gotta set better screens out there, they play very tight defense so without good screens we aren't going to get good looks for our shooters. Also, they really move the ball well. Rotations on defense have to be better. A lot of times our guys look lost after they set screens. Help defense has to be there quicker.

I think Chuck played well. IT played solid. JT did fine. Cousins has to get the ball more and not make stupid fouls.
 
First Q observation. Everything needs to run through Big Cuz but quicker - not wasting clock with worthless dribbling. Cuz can pass out and get it back in many sets. Iggy is best player on GSW and overall better than Curry. Love how Iggy bring ball up and see the floor for W's guards coming off screens. Kings working hard but need to be less frantic.

His passing has been good. His defense in the first quarter was palatable. The second quarter the GS offense was forcing him into screens and making Cousins pop out and creating a mess for our defense. Unfortunately he was unable to get open looks to compensate for the defensive side. Pretty mediocre overall I would say.
 
What seems to be our biggest issue is that we are not getting into any offensive sets. Spacing is poor and entry passes are terrible. No one is making space or getting positioned to receive passes. Our off ball movement is pretty bad too with players running into each other and making the floor seem crowded.
