Grizzlies @ Kings Game Thread - 11/2

[mac]

hawes, beno and casspi played extremely well... thomas didnt screw up so that was good. i dont know about thompson, may, mason and evans they combined for 3 points. though evans does have like 4 or 5 assists which is nice but why does the boxscore only have him at 2? thats messed up... maybe they didnt count them as assists because the player dribbled the ball. i think the guy doing the boxscore must be a rubio fan.

Aries this is practically the first post of yours in this season that I completely agree with

woah am i senseing a little pro evans in this post ?

Does Evans really have 6 assists? According to the game he does, but on ESPN he has only 2... Being the first game i've seen this year of the new Kings, I have to admit Casspi does not play like a rookie. In fact, I am pretty impressed by him. Evans hardly gets the ball back when he passes it (especially when he passes it to Martin). Great comeback though, I was rather depressed by the beginning lol, but at least we didnt just let it get out of control. Beno had a really solid half too. Hawes is playing more like a center (finally). Not bad of a first half in all

Im sorry, you cant start beno evans and martin. Beno is a terrible defender, Martin is a terrible defender, and Evans would be a terrible defender playing against the other teams SF.

The one mismatch we have is Evans on the other teams point guard. Evans should be able to post up and score almost at will, he hasnt shown us that yet, but im hopeful.

When will you realize you can't make that judgement 31/2 games into a rookie season?

He's NOT a natural PG and that's something you can't learn or teach..

 

[AriesMar27]

well there's one person who agrees with me

martin wouldnt work at sf... he's not big enough, if people think that hawes is a wuss, which i do... i wouldnt want to see martin guarding lebron, melo, artest, pierce, hedo... the list goes on and on. against the grizzlies its okay, rudy gay is a smallish sf... but i am all for not playing evans at pg though i would rather see sergio start at pg. beno is an energy guy, when he's hot he's hot but when he isnt he is garbage.... he has like 3 turnovers off the bench... in 4 minutes apparently... thats not good.

Well Martin and Evans are going to start regardless. Mason and May are horrible defenders so what you lose with Beno on defense you regain it with JT and Hawes (which isn't much better, but it's not worse)..

 

[rainmaker]

after all 82 and he realizes that he was right the entire time... but by then the "i told you so" wont be as sweet...

that means a lot coming from the guy who wants sergio in there starting lineup

 

[rainmaker]

He's NOT a natural PG and that's something you can't learn or teach..

doesn't mean he can't play the point, its way to early to tell.

 

[OptimusRhyme]

casspi starting ?!??!?! thank you paul westphal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[rainmaker]

at least westphal replaced mason with omri

 

[Sac.1989]

doesn't mean he can't play the point, its way to early to tell.

exactly, hes not a natural point guard, he's making his own way here with his own style and our wagon is hitched to it.

 

[One B]

well there's one person who agrees with me

count it three

 

[hardware_failure]

Dude wtf is this cr*p @ half time? tons of commercials and a bit of commentating? Why do things keep getting worse with this team?

 

[Merdiesel]

Eddie Winslow is killing us.

I forgot the commentating and commercials are directly connected to the team.

hahaha

 

[Nikefutbolero]

This line up is working. Maybe Caspi should start?

 

[Dreadnought]

Omri is running train on the Grizzlies.

 

[Merdiesel]

Casspi for ROY?...

 

[Nikefutbolero]

Casspi for ROY?...

Who would have thunk it.

 

[Sluggah]

this is the lineup that should start every game so we don't constantly have to climb back from a 16 point deficit

 

[deekay2o9]

Caspi has a weird release on his shot. As long we it goes in I don't care.

 

[AriesMar27]

woah am i senseing a little pro evans in this post ?

no... thats just how the game is... he should have more than 2 assists... he had 2 early in the game one to hawes and one to martin. then he had one with casspi and another with hawes. im just anti-pg when it comes to evans.

why do they keep trying to post up evans? the team was playing fine before... hawes with the smooth move in the post yet again. casspi for three again... he is gonna hurt this team in the best way possible...

martin for 3... 26 points... hawes with twelve, casspie with 8 and our remaining starters(evans, thompson, may, mason) have 3 points. if hawes and casspi had started we would be complaining that our bench sucks....

casspi is a keeper... 4 games into the season, he is a keeper and should be playing in the rookie-soph game with evans and thompson if he gets his head on straight. though the refs are doing a job on thompson with the fouls...

 

[Nikefutbolero]

Kayte is SO DAMN SEXY. She's just so DAMN TALL. It would be difficult but I'd make it work.

 

[Merdiesel]

Its really compact. Doesn't leave a lot of room for error.

I'm telling you, give this kid the minutes he deserves.

 

[AriesMar27]

casspi blocked randolph... now hes at the line... for 2....

 

[mac]

I think Evans should learn to push the ball up a bit faster. he seems to take too much time in initiating the offense

 

[Merdiesel]

Cass-tastic?.. really?

 

[hardware_failure]

I forgot the commentating and commercials are directly connected to the team.

Once upon a time I remember a thing called 1/2 time shows...

But who needs those. Id much rather watch the same handful of 5 year old commercials.

Sheesh at least make new commercials to watch.

Yes Im whining, and I think rightfully so. This organization has become embarrassing.
