Kings @ Warriors Gameday Thread

[nebs]

Just a small reality check, if I might?

This is the FIRST pre-season game for these guys after a whole WEEK of "training camp." Lots of new faces, lots of jitters, lots of different things going on. And a couple of key players not playing. I really think it's way too early to be so critical, but maybe I'm just being over-protective.

I like these young Kings and I see a bright future, if we can just get some luck to go our way.

EDIT: Having said all that, I meant to add that I didn't really disagree that much with your assessment.

You are NOT being over protective here. (You usually are though )

Is jimmer playing with his eyes closed in defense. Kevin Martin would 1st team defense if compared to jimmer

Yeah, you would think with all his NBA experience he'd react a little quicker. Oh wait......

 

[VF21]

Just meant the pace and the way the offense is being ran, not being negative at all

I understand. I edited my post because I neglected to point out that while I was making excuses for them, I didn't really disagree that much with your assessment.

Isaiah, Jimmer, Marcus is probably the smallest lineup I've ever seen.

If it wasn't SO the Kings way, I would find it funny.

Hickson looks like a Thompson clone to me.

 

[swisshh]

Hickson doesn't box out, so Udoh is killing us on the boards.

some good news according to Jason Jones' twitter:
mr_jasonjones Jason Jones
Duffy's firm also reps Chuck Hayes. Said all tests on Hayes have come back normal thus far.

Yah and also guarding a 6'8 guy, i meen come on?!

Are the kings playing better basketball with tyreke out of the game?

Makes one wonder what Travis Outlaw will look like...

 

[annihilator_33]

I need to learn how to Jimmer

we need him more than ever right now

He's been beaten badly, but it's also his first freaking NBA game. Our bigs also don't anticipate that he'll get beat, which says something.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Keep in mind every comment I make in this thread is based on this one game, and is most likely a knee-jerk/overreaction, but man Hickson looks bad.

Common sense tells me that if we are getting killed on the glass we may want to go big at SF with either Greene or Honeycutt ... seems like Marcus/Thomas/Jimmer is the opposite way to attack this issue.

 

[Circa_1985_Fan]

Indeed!! We need DMC and Salmons back too!! I like what I've seen from Jimmer obviously, but that's about it. No ball movement.

Is this post a cheap shot at Tyreke Evans?

[gunks]

Speaking of getting beat on the glass...How the heck does JT have 0 rebounds?!?! That dude usually boards

no way

 

[LakersStink]

If Chuck Hayes is similar to Reggie Evans...man does this team need him back...BAD!

 

[LakersStink]

Jimmer is more exciting than Tebow

 

[Fear the Putin]

jimmer is heating....quickly

 

[nebs]

Aight. Teach Me how to Jimmer.

 

[VF21]

Oh wait. It appears the game is not yet over.

GO KINGS!!!

it was sarcasm but yah i agree. Hes only been scored on once this quarter. hes made 4 good plays on offense that led to buckets.

Edit *** make that 6 good plays.. hes the reason were back in the game.

best post of the night

 

[Bricklayer]

well. he is guarding that guy because he showed no hope of guarding the guys his size so we had to switch him off. Fortiunately he's heating up on the other end.

 

[gunks]

Jimmer.....The next Kevin Martin?!?!?

 

[Circa_1985_Fan]

Isaiah, Jimmer, Marcus is probably the smallest lineup I've ever seen.

Back in the day I remember we used Spud Webb and Jim Les at the same time, that's the smallest one I remember.

That and Tyreke being on the bench.

Not similar, at all, really.
