SL Kings vs. Lakers Game Thread

[Dime Dropper]

Watching the Lakers SL team play last night, I was sure they were the worst team in it in recent years. Then we played. This will be a battle to see which team can turn it over the most and generally just look unorganised. At least we should find it easier to advance the ball considering Lakers are unlikely to press (unless they saw us play last night).

Hopefully we can get the ball to Robinson down low to see what he can do. Whiteside doesn't have the IQ to get on the court and I fear it will always be that way. He just drifts away from his man constantly, leaving open lay-ups for his man. Jimmer needs to play well to get some of his confidence back.

when will IT be back? I mean yeah, the Lakers did look bad, but even the remote chance that the Kings could lose this game makes me want to throw up! we'll need all the help we can get. maybe Cuz plays, too (he did only have one SL, after all).

Guys should look better here, but if they only look better because the level of competition is all of a sudden high school again I don't know what that will tell us. Be nice if our guys could at least look like they had the instincts for the positions they are supposed to play however.

I dont really care if we win I just dont wanna lose by a million like last night.

IT is playing in a summer league in Seattle. 27 points first game....without trying.

 

[gatoradeSD]

against who? ...yea

 

[ESP47]

No need for IT to be in the summer league. He's already proven he can be an NBA player.

Jimmer on the other hand, has not. I'd rather him get the minutes than IT.

 

[Bricklayer]

against who? ...yea

all the normal pro am stuff.

"summer league" denotes NBA team related leagues with lots of yougn NBA players, developmental guys lookign for a break etc. on the court.

Empty your mailbox.

So I heard. Not sure you learn anything by that but it keeps him in basketball shape while completing his college degree. Man, I wish he was in Vegas.

I agree. I still haven't lost all hope in Jimmer, so I want him to get as much experience as possible and hopefully regain his confidence/become the sharpshooter we all desire him to be

Okay, since this is only a summer league game, I'm going to temper my usual Laker-Kings battle cry:

STUB YOUR TOES REALLY BADLY LAKER WANNABES!

 

[Block Party]

They were just talking about DeMarcus Cousins during the Denver vs Golden State game and both commentators agreed that they think Cousins has actually grown and looked taller. Awesome. lol

 

[gatoradeSD]

do they have to wait until the golden state game is over for the kings and lakers to play?

 

[cuad]

do they have to wait until the golden state game is over for the kings and lakers to play?

Yes because they play on the same floor.

 

[rainmaker]

do they have to wait until the golden state game is over for the kings and lakers to play?

We struggled mightily playing 5 on 5 yesterday. You want to play 10 on 10 today?

 

[rekehavoc73186]

league pass better work 2nite

 

[Kings Faithful]

Can someone tell me why we are watching heat and pacers playoff analysis instead of kings summer league.....seriously....wtf.

 

[rekehavoc73186]

mine says stand by. NBA is seriously pissing me off.

 

[Glenn]

There are only three guys I will be watching. Reminds me a bit of The Wizard of Oz. One player needs a shot, the other needs a brain, and the last needs a position. A small attempt at humor.



And Bobby J is Dorothy????

 

[spudfan]

Getting your 3 blocked always hurts

 

[Block Party]

That was a bad rejection.

 

[rainmaker]

Maybe Webb will put Fox in a headlock during the broadcast. WOuld be entertaining.

 

[rainmaker]

Hassan pulled early again...

 

[Fear the Putin]

there ya go
jimmer as an off guard is much better than jimmer the pg

 

[Block Party]

Actually a much better start than yesterday.

 

[spudfan]

there ya go
jimmer as an off guard is much better than jimmer the pg

They must have read our thread yesterday

 

[Glenn]

Why oh why do people keep saying Robinson is undersized? CWeb said something about people between 6'6" and 6'8" as if TRob is one of them. TRob is taller than that. Is it an optical illusion?
