[Game] Kings @ Lakers - 2/28/14 - 7:30 pm

[Kingster]

Everyone has an assist tonight. I hope we do this more when DMC is playing

And he would know what to do about Farmar.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

And this one is over

 

[VF21]

Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, and ... damn.

WHY are we pulling up and taking jump shots? DRIVE INSIDE!!!!!

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Rudy Gay with some suspect shot selection

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Nice JT, don't bother guarding Pau at the FT line

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Well i guess losing to the Lakers group of D-League call ups will only further prove the point of how crapty this team is without Cousins

Well i guess losing to the Lakers group of D-League call ups will only further prove the point of how poopooty this team is without Cousins

Yes, because Cousins simply shuts down the perimter with his defense right?

 

[VF21]

And, of course, Brooks is able to get right around IT. I can't complain about Isaiah's offense but he makes it way too easy on defense. They're shooting lights out from outside, he and the rest of the Kings absolutely MUST keep them honest when they drive inside. Interesting how IT is sitting way at the end of the bench, not even looking at what the coach is drawing up on the white board.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

I would not suggest lobs to JT in crunch time.

What a crushing loss this looks like it's going to be. To a bunch of gunners, half of which won't be in an NBA rotation next season. You just can't leave shooters open over and over and over again.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Can Reggie Evans come back in for fumble fingers JT?

"Fumble fingers"? You realize that, when someone makes a bad pass, it's not the fault of the target of the pass, right?

He's disappointed with the last pass

 

[VF21]

Isaiah is really trying, but Brooks was still able to get past him. JT knocking the ball oob is the only thing that kept Brooks from scoring.

Come on, Kings. Play smart. You can do it.

You absolutely love JT, i get it

You're going to single out IT tonight? Really? Really?

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Kings now 0-10 without DeMarcus

 

[VF21]

I am not going to swear, I am not going to curse, I am not going to point fingers. I am, instead, going to pour myself a snifter of brandy and enjoy the fire in the woodstove...and try to pretend this game didn't hurt way more than it should have.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Marshon Brooks is not this good, I promise.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

****ing embarrassing game. someone should get fired or perma-benched after that display

 

[TyFreak Evans]

We just lost to a D League team. Cry Me A River.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

You absolutely love JT, i get it

I actually don't. It's just that you picked a really weird game to criticize him, is all I'm saying. And, again, when someone makes a bad pass, it's not the fault of the person the pass was intended for.

[mac]

Yeah so umm ... two things to look forward to this season - culture change and Ben McLemore. I don't know about you, but I want no part of a culture that loses to a bunch of no-name "scrubs" thrown together.

 

[Kingster]

Kings now 0-10 without DeMarcus

And with Cousins since the All Star break? No guarantee at all they would have won with Cousins. With good Cousins, likely. With bad Cousins, not likely.

 

[kingjatt]

Farmar and Brooks basically took turns on IT tonight, I think it was basically whoever IT was guarding was getting the ball.

Farmar and Brooks basically took turns on IT tonight, I think it was basically whoever IT was guarding was getting the ball.

They also had their way with McCallum

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Isaiah gave up another career scoring night. To Michael Jordan Farmar, so that's fun

 

[The_Jamal]

Rough game to swallow. While every perimeter took their lumps defensively, Ben got beat from start to finish. Absolutely ridiculous how open every player he guarded was tonight.

I honestly don't know what you do with him. He obviously can't handle big minutes. But if you pull him as a starter now, after all but saying "we cleared everyone out for you", you kill any ounce of confidence he has left.

 

[VF21]

You're going to single out IT tonight? Really? Really?

At that moment, yes. I singled out IT. Why? Because that's what was happening at that moment on the screen. I'm not happy with the defense of any of the Kings but AT THAT MOMENT Brooks was able to get past IT way too easily more than once.

Ray was the better defender. But I understand the need to keep IT on the court for the offense. That doesn't mean I'm not going to point out the obvious. Sorry if that upsets your sensibilities. IT is not now and will not ever be a suitable defender. Tonight it mattered. Outside, everybody was being scored on but Farmar was shooting over IT like he wasn't even there. Inside, the Lakers were able to screen IT out way too many times.

 

[Kingster]

Lakers were just hot as hell. A lot of the 3s were guarded and they went in.

On the bright side, the interior passing by the Kings was the best I've seen the entire year.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Farmar and Brooks basically took turns on IT tonight, I think it was basically whoever IT was guarding was getting the ball.

Let's not pretend that McLemore was locking guys down.
