[Game] Trailblazers @ Kings - 1/7/14 - 7 p.m. PST

[Tetsujin]

MT celebrated his new start by fouling the bejeezus out of everyone.

 

[VF21]

Well.....are you planning on telling us more?

Now? I swear, I think some of you have the attention span of gnats. We've got a game going on.

 

[VF21]

Not sure who these guys are and what they did with the guys from Saturday, but I'm liking what I'm seeing.

I'm a phenomenal multitasker.

Taking notes for grades too.

I like what I am seeing out of IT so far. I hope he plays this way the entire game and we get the win, some positive reinforcement for him while playing like this could work wonders.

 

[Kingsfan23]

Isaih looking much more pass first

 

[cuad]

I wonder what Chris Jent is saying. Maybe it's "don't pass to Ben until he plays defense!"

 

[Kingsfan23]

Good d IT

 

[spudfan]

Is Jent the main assistant? Seems like he is always coaching someone.

 

[Uncia03]

I'm sorry I didn't get that out of the interview

Well Grant asked him if he was happy with his offense.

Gay said, "No, not really I think I can do a little bit more, generate a bit more offense for the team."

That would be code for...I'd like to see more touches....

 

[The_Jamal]

Cmon Ben...

 

[Glenn]

Isaih looking much more pass first

I suspect it was discussed in the meeting.

 

[spudfan]

Our guys are padding those rebounding stats early.

 

[Entity]

Not sure how many Portland will score in the first but most of the shots are well defended

 

[spudfan]

Ben keeps getting caught out of position on defense

 

[VF21]

Gay said, "No, not really I think I can do a little bit more, generate a bit more offense for the team."

Generate more offense can also mean a timely assist.

 

[The_Jamal]

Well, this is probably the best guard defense we've seen in a long time. They've had very little dribble penetration so far. Lopez and Aldridge are just flat out beating us in the post right now

 

[Entity]

Hey kayte

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

MT celebrated his new start by fouling the bejeezus out of everyone.

It's only 2 fouls. What are we saving him for? Let him foul out, if it happens

 

[spudfan]

Hopefully it lasts. Lillard often starts slow and takes over later.

 

[Kingsfan23]

I root for acy but by the grades it seems like he struggles to be net positive at times

No they're not. Aldridge hasn't posted up once. All shots were 18 ft jumpers.

 

[Entity]

In fact Lopez hasn't posted up. Drive and kicks

 

[cuad]

Looks like neither DWill nor Acy are good enough rebounders to play the 4.

 

[Tetsujin]

No they're not. Aldridge hasn't posted up once. All shots were 18 ft jumpers.

Well, posting up has never been Aldridge's M.O. Almost more of a stretch four than anything else or Channing Frye if Channing Frye didn't suck

 

[spudfan]

These guys need to convert the looks IT is getting them or he is going to stop passing it and start taking more floaters/runners once he gets in the lane.

 

[Entity]

Looks like neither DWill nor Acy are good enough rebounders to play the 4.

Yeah they waived at a few going over their heads. Lets hope they were just not timed right

 

[cuad]

It really should be Derrick Williams getting the ball there and not Acy.

 

[Entity]

Yeah which is why I spoke up when he said we are getting killed in the post. Lol neither have posted and scored yet lol

 

[spudfan]

The attitude of the players seems a lot more level, no one is screaming yet.
