[Game] Bobcats-Kings - 1/4/14 - 7 p.m. PST
- Thread starter Tetsujin
- Start date
I honestly think the Kings only try and bring out their A game against good teams. They're known to suck and when we face teams like Miami and GSW, they want to prove something. It's just a shame we can't play like how we play those teams every game. Even if we give up points to those teams, I see the guys always putting more effort into their D, and etc.
yes, and there is always a chance that your franchise cornerstone goes down with a major injury. there is always a chance that a tip rather than a defensive rebound results in a victory for the opposing team. there is always a chance that a series of bad calls turns the tide against you. there is always a chance that something will go wrong during a rebuild, during a regular season, during a playoff run, during a fight for a championship...
but you don't construct a basketball team because you think that the wheels will inevitably fall off. you construct a basketball team in the hopes that they stay on long enough for a shot at the title. fatalism is useless in professional sports, and a high draft pick is certainly a worthy component in the tool belt, regardless of the fact that "there is always a chance at drafting a bust."

People overplay the tanking thing. There have only been a handful of true "tanking" stretches in NBA history. As in taking a dive, intentionally losing. 99% of "tanking" is teams playing young guys etc. that will result in losses, but they try to compete, just are undermanned.
And us, come on, no. We're one pissed off group right now, from the coach to the franchise player on down. Unless we are combining supersneaky fictional only tanking with Oscar caliber acting performances by a bunch of guys who have absolutely no interest in losing and hurting their own reps going forward since they aren't going to be here long...no.

Boston for sure, Toronto, Atlanta, houston Cleveland for jack as a backup. Better act now about to be a shortage of good pgs in the league. My list
1. Rondo ( I'd take Wallace if need be)
2. Lowry
3. Teague (most unlikely)
4. Lin
5. Dragic
6. Jack as a backup
The rest are not getting traded or I just don't want.

Was at this one. It's simple, we compete with good teams because they don't try. We don't compete with bad teams cause we don't try. This team is horribly dysfunctional. Barking at each other all game long. Pretty much from the opening. I was on the right side of the arena to see the bench.
On the bright side, I was 4 rows behind Mrs. Jimmer. Why hello there.
Kayte was looking, well, tall. My buddy asked me if he thought little man is as tall as just her legs. Didn't look like it.
Ben played good D. And no one passes him the ball on offense so it's hard to really get mad at him for this one.
It was very chippy during timeouts. At one point MT tried to explain something to Ben and Ben didn't look like he wanted any part of it. And it looked like MT kept barking at him.
This team will make no progress until they get a PG. The play where he didn't pass to JT and got his shot blocked was ****ing bullcrap selfish basketball. He should be thrown against a locker for that. And if cuz was defending that little piece of crap, then we've got a problem.
That little ****er also spent most of a timeout laying into Williams for not bringing help D. When he's so brutally selfish on offense, does he really think his teammates are going to have his back on D? Cause they do not. Its every man for himself out there. He blames everyone else every time he gets beat. And demonstrably and loud, clapping his hands. He's the cancer folks. A tumor that needs to be removed. Thornton and JT as well. All the Ts. Gone, soon, please, they are born losers. Sorry JT, out with the old, in with anything else.
I'm angry.
Ben was the best guard on the floor for the kings. That is, he didn't kill us like the rest.

I'm still having difficulty really judging Bradley in that aspect of his game since Boston's having him play out of position with Crawford as the primary ballhandler.
Part of the beauty of having Cuz and Gay is that both are ball-dominant enough and good enough passers that you don't necessarily need John Stockton dishing assists every five seconds. Bradley would just need to know his role and play within himself (think Mario Chalmers, who isn't exactly the best playmaker already.).

Honestly his defense was average but he look lost on offense all the way around. And you just can't play a guy that lost on offense when he is a pg. you can't even get away with it with a big man more than spot min
So average defense and clueless offense. No he shouldn't play at all as a pg. maybe next year

I predicted the trades would not change our record but were made to improve our team's potential for the future and raid our bench so we were one tweak of IT's ankle to being a total losing team. I assumed they saw that we had a bad team and changed their mind about what the goal should be this year if indeed this is a change. No one knows, do they?

Garry Neal is a blackhole who has no idea what defence is so I'm not sure what he's taking about, it would be like Thomas calling out Thompson.
The culture overhaul won't change until we get players who actually want to win and play defence and Sanders I really think is a guy who wants to win similar to Cousins.
