[Game] Kings Vs. Trailblazers 11/13/12

[wazzups]

We should be winning this game even without Cousins but we are not

 

[tyreeeke]

Jimmer took it to Lillard on both ends of the floor, period. Jimmer leaves, Lillard goes back to work.

You can't even comprehend the story. Just like the ridiculous stories inside your head which tell you Favors is better than Cuz.

Can he have a reasonable discussion? I haven't seen him post much lately but don't think anything I have said is unreasonable and always enjoy discussions with different view points if they are fair.

Robinson has played really well tonight. That is huge for us if he can keep this up and build off it.

We thoroughly outplayed Portland after it was 25-10. Very good 2Q.

I love how we've been able to track Robinson's growth game to game. He looks like a completely different player now than he did game 1

If your team is losing and you make a bunch of substitutions and they start winning then you should just go with what is working.


FWIW I don't think I ever said Favors was better than Cousins. I said he helps his team win more than cousins helps his team win.

And he looks completely different than he did in summer league. He is catching on fast in my eyes. Learning the positioning and movement pretty quick.

Because you have to look at WHY your team was losing. It isn't as simple as looking at +- 1 quarter into a game, and also while completely ignoring why the +- was the way it was.

I want to see Jimmer next to Tyreke, wtf was Petrie thinking not drafting Lillard...then i hear he absolutely lit it up when the Kings worked him out. Hmmmm a lightning quick pg with insane range and shooting stroke. Wow, i mean T-Rob is a nice player, but Lillard could be on another level before long. Lillard would have been perfect next to Tyreke

 

[The_Jamal]

JT really needs more ball as well. Another big half from him: 6pts 7 rebounds, 2 blocks

He's a troll.

Throws out the -13 stat which really explains nothing. Then tries to explain it was actually another reason for why Reke shouldn't come back. Then says again the -13 is the entire story.

He's a contradictory troll.

Good to know, I am in a good mood tonight because I don't have to see a 12 man rotation Figured I would give him the benefit of the doubt.

 

[The_Jamal]

Most people called Lillard a "selfish shoot-first PG" around draft and are now ready to sell Trob down a river for him. Amusing. Even more amusing that people are ready to make judgments on an 8 game sample size

I am a little befuddled as tp why everyone is so ticked that Tyreke was on the bench when the rest of the team was playing so well.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

i didnt see Salmons doing much

 

[tyreeeke]

To be fair, Reke was in and they were losing...he went out...they are start winning...he comes back in...they start losing. Reke is now at a -15 for the game, I believe. HOWEVER, not all of that is on him, Brooks was lit up like a Christmas tree. I'd like to see Reke running the point with Jimmer at the two, while they split ball handling duties. Just please, Tyreke, please don't jack up shots as you have a hard enough time making uncontested ones. Pass first.

Better than Outlaw or Garcia at this point.

I think I was the only one who had lillard as my pick after Davis.

Wow, just wow. You really didn't bother to read what I wrote. I am not sure what the venom is for. My point was that the team that was on the floor was playing well, there was no need to be clamoring for a change of line up.

not really, the few times he's been isolated in the post he's thrown up airballs. His pts will come off of hustle and cuts not isolation

Tyreke was in .. So was Hayes. So was JT. So was Brooks. So was Johnson. Who scored most of those points for Portland? Lillard. Who was guarding him? Brooks.

Evans is not the problem. My only gripe with him is his horrible shooting numbers. He needs to be more efficient. This is by far his worst shooting year since he was drafted.

oh hell ya. i was just responding to nplaim's comment

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Tyreke opens the half as the clear cut PG. I like it.

I have wanted to see it since we drafted Jimmer.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Finally! a Reke/MT backcourt

 

[wazzups]

if the team on the floor is playing well its the coaches job to disrupt that. the owners dont want to see us winning any "extra" games lol

 

[rainmaker]

C'mon Chuck. Can you jump at all?

 

[Reke]

Lol at Hayes

Because its what inexperienced coaches do. Your bench gives you a spark and turns things around which is what you hope for but you have to know when to bring your starters back. Inevitably, Smart sticks with this second quarter thing which either ruins the momentum the starters had or over emphasizes the bench to the point it loses effectiveness. Either way, it ices starters and kills any kind of game flow.

In terms of the troll thing, honestly you are aren't really a kings fan. When people from other areas come on here with criticisms I think people are a little skeptical

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Tyreke playing as facilitator right now instead of a scorer, and looks good.
