LMAO Kings throwing the ball out of bounds while out of bounds.. again

 

[NewArena]

Grant jinxes us EVERY game...shut the hell up you piece of trash!

 

[annihilator_33]

i hate udoka

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

If that shot went in.. It should of, he was once again wide open.

Yeah he's the problem...

 

[piksi]

And not one of them was contested.

so what - you still have to make them

Kings don't even have 8-10 from point blank layup and none of them was contested

 

[annihilator_33]

what did he say? i'm stuck listening to the garbage clipper announcers

 

[NewArena]

i'm not saying we're a contending team. just that he won't be the long term solution. although hopefully he comes out blazing in the 4th quarter since that's his specialty.

Whats your point? our WHOLE frontcourt isn't a long term solution.

 

[Moose9]

Evans needs to learn to pass the ball ahead rather than dribbling it all the way and letting the defense get set.

 

[Merdiesel]

This team is playing like they don't give a ****.

 

[Larry89]

where the **** is Tyreke, why does Hawes suck so bad

 

[kingsnation]

what did he say? i'm stuck listening to the garbage clipper announcers

He just predicted the obvious. The Kings making a stupid mistake.

 

[annihilator_33]

why does Hawes suck so bad

one of the world's greatest mysteries...........

 

[Bricklayer]

This team is playing like they don't give a ****.

No their not.

They are however playing like a very confused and unforcused crew. Very much like a group of young players who have never played with each other before, which is somewhat the truth.

 

[cstorm]

Wow!

 

[Jechtsphere]

We're just playing dumb on both ends...Clippers 8-10 on 3's? give me a break -_-

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

I'd like to see more Greene and less Udoka, if thats possible, Mr. Westphal.

 

[Larry89]

btw anyone want to let the kings know we are playing the Clippers... THE CLIPPERS

 

[PassFirst]

damn it landry, you should be playing better than this... you had 27 in your last game against the clippers. grrr....

 

[PassFirst]

what did he say? i'm stuck listening to the garbage clipper announcers

the clipper announcers arent that bad, bingo...

 

[BosnianBaller_]

damn it landry, you should be playing better than this... you had 27 in your last game against the clippers. grrr....

not happy with his performance so far. but he's probably nervous and doing a little too much to impress his new coach. i bet he'll do good in the 4th quarter. he does league the league in ppg in the 4th with 7.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Is McGuire active and in uni? We need some D from somewhere. Give him a shot before it's way too late and garbage time.

 

[alonshin]

i believe things will look different on the 2nd half.
this is going to be a tight game, i say.. could be ours, if the kings play more d-fens and be more focused (=less turnovers..)

go kings! get your heads up and start playing!

 

[Rkts]

No their not.

Looks that way to me. Never thought I'd say Carl looks 'timid', but I think he'll need to get comfortable in the King's system.

But I wouldn't expect it to take long...

 

[FaStRmAn]

where the **** is Tyreke, why does Hawes suck so bad

Tyreke is bound to show up in the second half. Unfortunately so will Hawes. He is just a terrible defender. So weak and gives SO LITTLE EFFORT. He is just a liability whenever he is on the floor. He's coming off the bench now, but if his defense doesn't get better, he may find it harder and harder to come off of that bench. He is a SHEET POOR Defender! Kaman abuses him. Then again, everyone abuses Hawes on defense. He is a liability.

The Kings still need to acquire a real center, because Hawes isn't even a reasonable facsimile of a center on defense. Looks like Landry is too pumped up for this game, with the 3 travels. And Tyreke is not playing very well against a pretty good defender in Eric Gordon. We need the Kings to get yelled at in the halftime locker room, and to come out and play with intensity and effort. Giving up 60 points to the Clippers in the first half was terrible. The Clippers are a bad team. HOW they get 60 points in a half is not how good they are playing but how very poor the Kings are defending. Too many wide open shots by jump shooters. WHO is leaving the shooters to do what? Let Hawes get burned. But dont let them kick it out for wide open 3's. That is a certain way to get blown out.

It's just his first game as a king. BTW how is Martin doing at your end?

 

[FaStRmAn]

Yes, but they have played like a group of young players who have never played with each other all year.

 

[annihilator_33]

thank god kaman tapped it out of bounds

 

[Larry89]

how come none of our guards pass to the roller on the pick and roll

 

[Larry89]

instead of getting the easy shot we dribble for a harder one
