[Game] Kings @ Pacers 11/3/12
- Thread starter Capt. Factorial
- Start date
Coaching at the end is highly questionable.
1) What's the deal with Brooks controlling our offense?
2) Do you call a timeout on that Reke to MT runout?
3) Not fouling at the end of the 2nd OT when it's a two possession game
4) As capt said, why are we going for two at the end?
I did see improvement tonight though in the rotations, although they still need a fair amount of work. Our guys played damn hard.

Pick and roll, pick and roll, pick and roll. This team could a pick and roll stopper, not a pick and roll offensive team. Smart started almost every set late with the pick and roll. This team will NEVER be a good pick and roll team they just don't have the personnel for it. They could be special in a motion/spread offense set though.
I find it hard to believe some of you can pin this loss on Smart.
He didn't make Cousins shoot 9-26
He didn't cause 9 TO's from IT and Reke and at least 10+ unforced TO's
He didn't miss 12+ wide open jumpers or puts backs that easily could have won us the game.
This loss is purely on the players. The starters had ample time to win this game and they couldn't execute

Hayes was quite easily the best player on the floor tonight. He was absolutely lock-down on defense and his passing on offense lead to some of the only real movement we had all game. I want to see Hayes starting and getting a crack on the other team's best bigs from the get-go. Let JT and Trob be the energizer bunnies off the bench
Brooks in the pick n roll is terrible. He comes off the pick looking for his shot, usually pullup 3's. He can't really penetrate and the return pass is non existent.
Reke at least attacked the rim out of the pick n roll, did hit Cuz on the rolls and had some nice kickouts.
I don't know why we went away from the Cuz/Reke two man game with MT as the clear 3rd option, and instead repeatedly put Brooks in pick n rolls. He pounded the hell out of the ball.

If they want to play pick and roll ball it better be between those two but that said, they still will never be dominant in the pick and roll. They have a bunch of bigs that can pass but aren't strong finishers. They have Reke who is a strong finisher but will get lanes packed in on him. It seemed like every play started with a screen up top for Brooks that went nowhere. Teams aren't going to fear this teams pick and roll game.
ya you guys are definitly Over-Praising Hayes. i know his defense was great at times. and i didnt say we lost cause of him. they lost because DMC couldnt make a shot in OT-2OT yet he kept trying. i hate how he plays under the rim and throws up horrible shots just trying to get fouls called. drives me crazy. and Smart's rotations are the other reason. especially the second quarter. and playing Garcia at all is just inexcusable.
