[Game] Kings v. Grizzlies, 11/17/13

Does Malone even care about offense? I think he believes he can win purely on defense.

It's a refreshing change.

 

[VF21]

We're definitely tanking. This roster sucks.

Easy shots aren't falling. I've counted at least six that defied logic by not actually going through the net.

 

[jalfa]

so, three and a half minutes into the quarter and it's 2-2? that's almost impressive.

 

[The_Jamal]

We made a lay-up! praise jesus

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Again, defense has kept us in it.

Just when I start to think you might have something positive to contribute to the board...

 

[HereWeBoogie]

N'Daiye really bothers peoples shots

I'll certainly take a coach who preaches defense over one who preaches offense, a hundred times out of a hundred. Why? Because, sometimes you shoot twenty-nine percent, that's why. You can always count on defensive effort; you can't always count on a jump shot.

 

[cuad]

Nice job by NDiaye to make the easy pass once he got the offensive rebound.

 

[VF21]

I like "that guy" - my nickname for N'Daiye.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

definitely going to question Malone here. this lineup can't score AT ALL, yet still on the floor with 6mins to go in the half? and Cousins still sits?

 

[VF21]

In case anyone is wondering, I have just set a new world record for number of my own posts I have deleted without posting because I'm afraid they're too negative.

 

[The_Jamal]

Seriously unbelievable. I can't believe how many Lay-ups and >5 foot shots we've missed

 

[jalfa]

gotta freaking love Luc! he's everywhere on d and even battling Gasol with success!

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Memphis has 8 turnovers already and the Kings only have 23 points .. total.

 

[dude12]

Did someone tighten the rims? Lots of balls in and out.

Cousins isn't sitting.

 

[The_Jamal]

I don't really understand how Gasol is struggling so much against our bigs.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Hamade is kind of exactly the type of player we need next to Cousins

in that very same vein: this game is very much winnable. it's not like the Grizzlies are forcing really tough shots, they're just not falling. at the same time, it seems that the Kings actually *are* playing really good defence.

 

[spudfan]

Hamady is getting the job done, much more better than I would have expected.

 

[VF21]

Wow. 8 to 10 stitches in Hayes' eyebrow? Ouch.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Cousins isn't sitting.

he was until 5:57, which was way too long

 

[dude12]

But more skilled....but yeah, love the length

 

[cuad]

The defensive rotations are weak.

 

[storisaurus]

Oops lol

 

[spudfan]

Two people bit on that fake by Gasol... not sure you actually need to jump to contest his shot.

 

[Tetsujin]

Wrhy do I look at McLemore and think Wahad? I hope it isn't true.

You mean we're gonna trade him for Nick Anderson?

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

What an ugly game. Man.
