[Game] Kings vs. Hawks 11/16/12

[Chupacabra]

the team needs an experienced disciplinarian coach ala Karl/Popovich/Mcmillan.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

it could be that the goofs are sandbagging the season as payback to the fans who scorned them. plus these empty nights are going to help them with the relocation case. they dont really care whether the arena is empty or not, they cash the fat revenue sharing checks and make a profit regardless.

You've got your cause and effect backwards. The fans have turned away from the Maloofs because the Maloofs sandbagged the team and sandbagged the arena deal. People legitimately hate the Maloofs, and they're not willing to give them any more money. I guarantee you that if the team sold, the arena would be sold out for the next game, and maybe the rest of the season.

Shorties getting killed outside, shorties getting dunked on inside.

All starters on the bench.

This is fun....

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Well, I got free tickets, and I'm still regretting coming to this game.
And so much for Smarts improved defense. Lol what a joke

 

[annihilator_33]

Brooks over Jimmer is a weak move by Smart. Jimmer earned those minutes, Brooks hasn't been good.

Especially after the comments he made about him needing to get Jimmer more minutes

 

[The_Jamal]

Sigh.. Ruining brilliant defense by Chuck

 

[kingjatt]

You really think that Cousins or Thornton would listen to them?

with broke owners we will never know, I think a tough vet who can still play a bit like camby would be a good mentor for big cuz, certainly better than no one, coaches can only connect so much. I think thornton would learn well from a guy like Jason Terry, those are two guys we COULD have picked up, sure we would have overspent a bit but with all that crap about "clearing cap space for max guys" for 6 years from the magoofs you would think we could overpay a little for them.

Karl and Popovich are taken - but McMillan is out there for the taking. Unfortunately, Maloofs probably can't afford him or any real NBA head coach.

I completely agree with what you said, I was speaking from the goof boys prospective.

 

[The_Jamal]

Bench playing well. At least they're showing energy and look like they want to be on the floor

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Ah, my bad.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Robinson has been on a good little stretch the last few games. He's looking like a player, and I love how he is always running the floor.

 

[spudfan]

Alright, four minutes left for our starters to get some work done!

 

[kingjatt]

will we see tyreke again this half?

 

[The_Jamal]

Did Brooks and IT just realize they play PG? Where has this been all season?

 

[Capt. Factorial]

will we see tyreke again this half?

I'm not sure we've seen Tyreke yet tonight. He was doing nothing but standing around in his first stint.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Brooks is doing his best Jimmer imitation here.

 

[kingjatt]

im really liking DMC's composure tonight, lets see if he can keep it up.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Brooks has always been very streaky shooter. He's on so let's ride him for awhile before thinking Jimmer or even IT is the answer.

 

[The_Jamal]

There's that Boogie hustle we know and love

and holy crap Brooks

 

[Npliam]

will we see tyreke again this half?

Why would you want him back in?

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

I have no problem eating my words - I called for Jimmer over Brooks, but Brooks has obviously played well to this point. Keeping us in the game.

 

[The_Jamal]

Spacing. Spacing. Spacing. We have 3 guys on the floor who can hit jump shots and our offense magically looks 20x better

 

[kingjatt]

I'm not sure we've seen Tyreke yet tonight. He was doing nothing but standing around in his first stint.

our mishandling of tyreke is beyond belief, he NEEDS the ball in his hands, Petrie should have realized long ago and surrounded him with shooters, He will probably end up on a team that will maximize his skills and turn him into a terrific player.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Salmons is actually contributing now like he did in the second half of last season when he played a combo/pg role. Not ball hogging, 3AST so far.

 

[kingjatt]

I have no problem eating my words - I called for Jimmer over Brooks, but Brooks has obviously played well to this point. Keeping us in the game.

with random lineups you will have random people catching fire at times.

 

[spudfan]

Thorntons been missing those gimmes a bit too often this year.

 

[cuad]

They're making shots tonight.

 

[The_Jamal]

Magic Cousins.

This offense is awesome to watch

 

[kingjatt]

Why would you want him back in?

yeah lets never let him back in, consistent rotations never work anyway.
