[Game] Game 76: Kings v. Jazz, 4/5/15 - 6pdt, 9edt

[The_Jamal]

Cooley looks bigger than I remember. Thought he was some shrimpy 6'7 PF who dominated college but everyone knew his game wouldn't translate. Looked about the same size as JT.

 

[The_Jamal]

Chances we see Sim at the start here?

You know as much as I like Cousins for his basketball skills, I can't deny that sometimes he comes across as a very dislikable player on the court. He just won't stop whining and complaining even when he's clearly the one who fouled. And when he complains it's literally yelling at the ref, not just "discussing" it with em. Dude just shut up and play man.

I've never seen an elite player like Cousins not get calls of a continual basis. In fact it's quite the opposite.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Always amazed at our end of the quarter defense.

For Og's sake, why?

 

[SLAB]

Good DWill showed up (for now)

To be fair. Dude is 3rd in the NBA in FTA and gets nearly 10 FTA/game. That's not NOT getting calls.

Don't confuse him with facts....

 

[The_Jamal]

This unit is doing some good things. Getting after it defensively.

 

[Tetsujin]

Although considering the amount of contact he gets hit with every night, that's probably not as many FTs as he deserves.

He also creates the contact a lot of the time - same reason why Tyreke Evans doesn't get many FTs when he goes into 3 guys in the paint. We saw that in the 1st quarter when he picked up the (clear) offensive foul basically trying to create contact against the defender. And while he gets hacked a lot, he also flops a lot (as do all guys who get loadsa FTs). So ... totally agree with you, it's not NOT getting calls.

 

[Tetsujin]

That might have been the first time the Kings have ever played a screen correctly.

Yee

It's similar to the Shaq principle. Shaq probably got fouled every time he got the ball in the post. Boogie isn't that dominant in the post, but similar in some ways.

You know, you've been gone ever since we dropped 195 pounds of dead weight Jimmer Fredette; I hope you didn't come back just to instigate?

He's usually around for Jazz games.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Why did G-Man say that Thompson mishandled that ball, when the ball never actually made it to Thompson?

 

[Tetsujin]

You take that back!

Jimmer was probably 185 pounds!

 

[Npliam]

I have been around. Me being here might have something to do with you guys playing the Jazz.

Things Derrick Williams isn't good at:
Rebounds
Defense
Playing smart
Cutting his hair.

 

[mac]

Wow Exum is not very good at all

 

[Npliam]

Wow Exum is not very good at all

He is an outstanding defender. He is very raw on the offensive end but has shown flashes of being able to take his man off the dribble.

 

[mac]

Any way we can ban Casspi from dribbling the ball for more than one second?

 

[mac]

He is an outstanding defender. He is very raw on the offensive end but has shown flashes of being able to take his man off the dribble.

Unfortunately all he's shown flashes of in this game is standing around and passing to his team mates with less than a second on the shot clock.

 

[Tetsujin]

Things Derrick Williams is good at:
Dunking
Turnovers
Fouls
Being picked high in the lottery

 

[Tetsujin]

Unfortunately all he's shown flashes of in this game is standing around and passing to his team mates with less than a second on the shot clock.

It's a very underrated skill.

 

[Npliam]

Yeah, sometimes he sucks. He is a rookie and probably shouldn't be starting yet.

 

[mac]

It's a very underrated skill.

Agreed, don't see many starting PGs in the NBA showing that

 

[lawlman91]

does that ref work on only his biceps

 

[Tetsujin]

Poor Gobert can't stop Boogie
