[Game] Suns @ Kings 4/3/12

[mac]

Wow Refs. Wow. What do we have to do to get a foul called on the Suns?

 

[The_Jamal]

Donte making the most of his starting nod I see

 

[rainmaker]

Surprised how early the bench got in today.

 

[mac]

Well that went well.

 

[jcwkings]

is it me or do we always suck against the suns? cant remember the last time we beat them

 

[Bricklayer]

Serves us right for pulling Cousins when he was carrying us. Anybody catch the look he and Smaet exhanged?

 

[rainmaker]

Well that went well.

Lol. Entire team look flat, starters and bench. Cuz looked good though.

 

[mac]

Serves us right for pulling Cousins when he was carrying us. Anybody catch the look he and Smaet exhanged?

Well I think that's generally how we should manage his minutes, especially on a back-to-back, so I don't blame Smart for making that sub. I do think however, you have to leave some of your starters in to close out the quarter. Like maybe gone with Jimmer/Evans/Twill/Hayes/Whiteside after resting Evans for awhile.

 

[swisshh]

Cousins wasn't running the floor and got pulled. I have no problem with that.

Wide Open - The Chuck Hayes Story needs to happen for real.

Jimmer trying to convince everyone he's not a shooter. TWill playing like I'd hope he'd play.

 

[rainmaker]

Serves us right for pulling Cousins when he was carrying us. Anybody catch the look he and Smaet exhanged?

Yes. Not in foul trouble, playing well, and probably wondering why pull me so early after playing guys 20 straight mins last night? No consistency in any of this.

 

[rainmaker]

Hassan is looking more comfortable. Could be a player for us next year.

 

[Arkitect]

Hassan is just owning Lopez.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Jimmer can take his 3 point shooting contest elsewhere.

 

[Arkitect]

TIL Michael Redd is still in the NBA

 

[rainmaker]

Childress should go back to Greece.

 

[rainmaker]

Does Chuck have a clue what his limits are on offense?

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Outlaw Hayes and Whiteside on the court at the same time.

And Jimmer can't shoot tonight.

Who's scoring? Awful lineup.

 

[swisshh]

I give TWill credit for not abandoning teamplay, but the team is not going along with that plan. Still, it's better to stick with it for the long term benefits.

 

[Arkitect]

Reke Jimmer TWilll Whiteside DMC

I don't like the lineup. We'd be doing fairly ok if Jimmer was hitting ANYTHING, but seeing as he's not our offense is basically Williams. Doesn't have many options other than Jimmer to give the ball to.

 

[The_Jamal]

Jimmer is pretty useless when he can't make wide open 3s

 

[mac]

Wooo no Evans! Go Smart!

 

[swisshh]

The way the Suns play D against the Kings is the way every team should and I'm always amazed when a team doesn't just stuff the paint.

 

[The_Jamal]

Everyone outside of T-Will is just throwing up garbage. This is terrible

 

[Bricklayer]

and gee, Demarcus returns and all of a suddeen we can score again. this ain't rocket science.

 

[Arkitect]

DMC having his way.

You'd think the coach would see that and try to adjust the team's play eh? Maybe he is trying and our team's just dumb. I don't know..

 

[Arkitect]

You know our defense on the shooters has been solid, but we keep turning the ball over and can't get any steals. If we keep the defense up, and clean up the turnovers, we are right in this game.

 

[rainmaker]

I'd like to see more of a motion offense in this circumstance. All five guys moving or setting screens.

 

[Bricklayer]

Well, we are jsut not a good shotign team without Thornton (or with him). What we are is one of the 3 or 4 best to the basket teams int he lewague with Reke and Cousins two of the top guys in the league.
