[Game] Kings v. Hornets - 2/25/17 - 2:00PT/5:00ET

How many 3s have to light us up before Joerger realizes Ben has no shot against them? It effects his game on the offensive end too.

 

[White_Chocolate]

I am less concerned about not being in the bottom 10 right now haha

 

[Tetsujin]

Would be nice if we had a go-to scorer here...ahem

 

[Kingsfan23]

So yeah, a bit different playing a top-tier defense, but still some really good signs. We're missing a ton of open shots that's really hurt the offense, but the defense for the most part has been decent. Shouts to WCS for sure.

I want to believe that about WCS.. instead of -11, 2 boards, Kaminsky looking better... I want WCS to be a consistent player, and the motor I perceive might concern a bit, but with the skill he showed last game I think we can get there eventually..

Ben on the other hand, I think we are about done

 

[The_Jamal]

So Koufos can't cover a stretch big? Who knew?

 

[SLAB]

Well, Steph Curry 2.0 and Kevin Garnett 2.0 are sitting on the bench.

I blame Coach Joerger.

Buddy will check in soon.

 

[glassman]

For everyone excited about Evans being back... the ISO ball has officially begun.

Are you watching the game? Not being snarky, but you can't judge his first half by box-score watching.

Natural tendancy to drift towards the paint, does not belong in this game.

 

[funkykingston]

I loved the last game and there will be some nights where this team scraps it's way to a win but this game is a better representation of what we're likely to see down the stretch.

That's frustrating in the short term but the clear goal was for the Kings to keep their pick and have a pair of top 15 (ideally both top 10) picks in a draft with lot of talent up top.

The key now is to see what the Kings have with the young guys, identify which veterans they want to retain and develop an identity of being a hardworking, defensive team.

Collison

Also those of you who said we would struggle when teams force us to be a half court team are dead on.

 

[SLAB]

"They simply can't score the ball."

Get used to it, Jerry.

 

[glassman]

Leaving frank open this many times is happening because Koufos is on him

 

[kingjatt]

Hornets have a great defensive game plan, force toliver to make decisions.

 

[Glenn]

I honestly don't know how anyone can be singled out as the cause of this awful game. It's a team collapse.

 

[VF21]

And this is what some of us were really afraid of. We don't have anybody to go to for some quick points. Regardless of what else happens, this is something Vlade absolutely must address.

 

[Tetsujin]

Yeah but so much less complaining so we're all winners tonight!

Yeah, the whole game Tyreke has been a ball stopper. Too much dribbling at the top of the circle while the shot clock is running. We need to let him walk at the end of the season.

Bellineli.

 

[kingjatt]

No one to get to the line to stop the bleeding.

 

[TaxMan]

Nor sure why the decision to leave this group on the floor for half the quarter.

 

[VF21]

"When you were officiating, Jerry, did you ever have an inadvertent whistle?" Gee, Grant, Jerry was a referee? Who knew?

Okay, somebody stop me. The snark is about to gain control...and I've been trying so hard.

 

[SLAB]

Yeah, the whole game Tyreke has been a ball stopper. Too much dribbling at the top of the circle while the shot clock is running. We need to let him walk at the end of the season.

Imagine Tyreke and Rudy Gay on the same court. My heart is a-racing at the thought of that excitement!!!

Reek... Maybe?

Totally agree. Lets see who can, and who can't.

I'm watching the game, and he hasn't had sufficient impact as far as I'm concerned

It's subjective though, which is why I hope your right

 

[VF21]

Bellineli.

Bite your tongue...

I just got sick to my stomach.
