[Game] Kings/Lakers game thread

[OptimusRhyme]

I see why he is so important to this young squad. Man oh man. If he was only 2 to 3 inches taller lol.[/QUOTE]

then he wouldnt be chuck hayes.

Garbage no call on Kobe for clearly pushing Thomas down.

I love how this team is playing. Reke looks great.

 

[William Blake]

this is going to be an exciting season!

 

[cuad]

Lakers shooting 36%
Kings shooting 53%

Awesome.

 

[matthew76]

Kobe getting phantom calls.. and no calls when he fouls grr...

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Hayes with a +10, 8 rebounds, 2 ast, 4pts, 1 blk.

And most importantly, just solid. No bad shots, no fumbling the ball, always in the right spot .. all those little things we would always see Thompson and Hickson do.

I saw that too. Kinda surprised foul wasn't called on Thomas.

 

[Nighthawk1]

I agree.

Chuck Hayes is visibly and vocally leading this team. It's great to see someone taking charge of these young guys finally

 

[Andriod_KiNg]

Chuck Hayes magically taught our team to play some defense, pass the ball on fast breaks, and people to move without the ball. hahaha I am going to give him all the credit.

 

[RookieOfTheDay]

6 Rebs 2 asts 1 blk 4 pts for chuck.. love this guy

Sammy who?

 

[Npliam]

I cannot believe they let Kobe just throw the defender out of the way like that.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

And the defense has actually been good ( against the guys you want to stop ).

Kobe has 12 but its on 4-13 shooting - direct impact of John Salmons.
Gasol has 2 points - direct impact of Chuck Hayes.

What do yah know! get defenders and defense gets better.

I just wish I didn't hate Salmons on offense so much.

 

[piksi]

Finally, it is fun again to watch Kings play. Lakers really suck.

 

[Andriod_KiNg]

Sammy who?

BUT BUT BUT BUT HES 7 FOOT TALL.... lol Hayes seems like that glue guy that does all the dirty work.

 

[RookieOfTheDay]

Looking good. Ball movement, defense, I love it. The future looks bright.

 

[Npliam]

Hope Chuck Hayes is telling Jimmer to force Fisher to the baseline next time.

I thought that he was telling Jimmer "good help". Somebody had left their man under the basket on the penetration and Jimmer had sagged. The ball went out to Fisher and Jimmer hadn't recovered.

Loving these Kings. Nice to see some defense played.

 

[OptimusRhyme]

Gotta give PW credit for his rotations that half too. Seemingly put all the right guys in at the right times.

 

[SacTownKid]

He was giving Jimmer props. Hayes is doing a wonderful job, did you see that screen he made for Tyreke!? Cleared the entire path!!

Agree, I thought the same thing. You could clearly see he said "good help".

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Gotta give PW credit for his rotations that half too. Seemingly put all the right guys in at the right times.

I really like putting in Donte at the end of the half to guard Kobe ( who missed thanks to Donte's length). We should be doing that every time. If we want to improve .. if we want to sniff the playoffs we need to be nearly perfect every game.

 

[jcwkings]

loving what i am seeing so far, chuck hayes is a beast, tyreke is playing some great defense, him and chuck really infected the guys in the first half. Cousins was terrible on offense but also played good d. Thomas can be our JJ Barea. Salmons looked rusty, but plays good D. Thornton looks like Eric Gordon 2.0. Jimmer looked good not forcing anything, didn't make many defensive mistakes from what i saw. Outlaw was being worked by World Peace, but he wont see many bulls like that on a regular basis, good addition to backup the 3 and some 4. When Cousins is out our lack of size shows, but the guys are playing gritty basketball right now.

Yup, great screens, communication, post defense, boxing out. I'll admit I wasn't super excited about the signing, but seeing what he brings to the team has me pretty excited. He is the definition of a glue guy.

 

[Entity]

11 man rotation so far lol. I am loving the defense and Marcus and tyreke can get to the Tim any time they want

 

[jcwkings]

Kobe has 12 but its on 4-13 shooting - direct impact of John Salmons.
Gasol has 2 points - direct impact of Chuck Hayes.

Cousins actually played Gasol most of the time and did a nice job, but yeah hopefully Chuck influences Cousins defensively, he has the frame to be a very good post defender.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

One note on Cousins - we literally gave him the ball 3 times in the post that half. Just not enough looks for him. Too many jumpers in general. We need to get to the line more, and Cousins in the post is one of the best ways to do it.

I thought he also did a solid job on Gasol and on defense when he wasn't fouling .. so there is that.

 

[Hoovtrain]

Did anyone catch the graphic they put up after the halftime segment about ownership not filing for relocation due to being so moved by fan support? Lol

 

[cuad]

BS CALL on Chuck Hayes.

 

[est.1999]

Bs foul call on Hayes!

I saw that. I had to read it twice. It was hilarious.
