[Game] Kings-Spurs Vegas Summer League - 7/11/14

[Entity]

I feel like our energy is gone. Not many on the floor are playing as hard as the first half.

Nope.

How is Ben so bad...

Agree. Have to wonder if it's conditioning at this early stage in camp. Lets hope that's the case

 

[Glenn]

I'd be tempted to make sure Nik gets a touch every possession. Someone let the air out of the team.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

a bunch of our heavy rotational guys are getting smacked by the Spurs crew of random D-League guys

 

[Glenn]

How is Ben so bad...

Good question. I can't believe some people thought he should be the #1 pick.

 

[VF21]

I have dish. What channel was it on?

NBA-TV. 156

 

[miltonap]

Ben sucks. Trade him while you can. I'm dead serious

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

How is Ben so bad...

Some players understand the details of the NBA game and others don't. Basketball IQ is a major skill

 

[HereWeBoogie]

"Now you see the real Acy"

No he said "Thomas didn't defend anyone"

 

[Monster]

They said in the earlier game that it felt like it was 80 degrees in the gym. Not sure if that's still true, but it could be part of it.

"Now you see the real Acy"

Walt Frazier is a jerk.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

"Now you see the real Acy"

The guy is Mr. Negative. Horrible to listen to

 

[HereWeBoogie]

D-Will

This year is going to be interesting

They said 85-90

Add DWill to the list. Actually I'd keep Ben deep on the bench and hope something changes but DWill pulls down a big salary and that is wasted money.

The current regime added 13M in salary on dwill/landry

Was just about to post that.

We seriously need to trade him now. His value will continue to go down. He's had over 2 months of an offseason thus far and I see zero improvement. Add to that Stauskas taking his mins next year and any value he has is going to evaporate quite quickly.

What's crazy is he looks no better than last year's summer league yet this year he's playing with Ray/DWill/Acy who he knows well. He's set up to have more success this summer than last, yet.....nothing.

 

[Monster]

I want to see this team with Gay and Cousins. A lot of these plays that should have been made would have been made by those guys. Still, a bit disappointing that our level of play has dropped so far.

I'm the other way other. I actually like D-Will

 

[fursty13]

Acy coming back down to Earth

And has liftoff once again!

 

[Monster]

Nik was the 7th pick overall? Hmmmm...nice commentary.

 

[VF21]

The guy is Mr. Negative. Horrible to listen to

Then he calls him Acey-Deucy and remarks on his "shake and bake." I swear, he sounds like a reverse version of Jerry Reynolds.

 

[SacKings384]

Stauskus looking pretty good out there! McLemore on the other hand. Yikes...

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Clyde just called him Nik the Quick and then also got his draft number wrong. Solid work

 

[Glenn]

The current regime added 13M in salary on dwill/landry

I know. I don't fault them for getting DWill but I think we are seeing what he brings.

 

[sdballer]

It would. Of course the guys we would be playing against would also be a little different too.

 

[kingzallday]

Nik with the block! I'm loving this guy!!

 

[ElRey]

Nik a better defender than Mclemore already? Lol

 

[SacKings384]

Not a terrific second half for these Kings. I liked what I saw out of Stauskus though.
