[Game] Kings Vs Lakers - 21/11/2012

[PurpleHaze]

Lakers are turkey's - let's feast on 'em and close out first half strong.

 

[mac]

Cousins takes some really dumb shots at times

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

I think he took that "coach forever" from gavin too literally and thought he had time to play around. its the NBA you ride your best guys and step aside.

I also wouldn't be surprised if Petrie said something to him. He mentioned the rotation / lineup combo's in his interview with Jason Jones ... so it would make sense that he would have that same sort of conversation with Smart.

 

[kingjatt]

Reke had MT wide open on that drive.

 

[Krunker]

Lots of man-love for Salmons from Grant and Jerry tonight... hopefully we can keep Howard in check next half

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Did they just run the 1-4 for Salmons?

Lots of man love from ME for Salmons tonight, too. And I hate John Salmons! (as a basketball player!) He's been awesome tonight.

 

[Reke]

Good pass Jimmer

 

[kingjatt]

play your best guys with normal rest patterns and you keep your lead. who would have thought.

 

[mac]

Well what da ya know? We actually put our starters back in, and we lead at halftime!

 

[tyreeeke]

Oh wow...Jimmer gets 7 seconds of play...and makes the play other guards on this team can't. smh.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Brilliant Jimmer! Great assist to JT. Good call by coach getting him in and calling the play - or did Jimmer just do it all on his own

 

[rainmaker]

Petrie should have lit a fire under Smarts *** a while ago. Would it have even happened without Voisins article?

 

[kingjatt]

Did they just run the 1-4 for Salmons?

sadly, i think he's our best 1-4 guy, he can get to the hoop or stop and pop, thorntons to short to stop and pop and Reke cant do it consistently.

I'm so close to just telling you to shut up. You're obviously not a Kings fan as you'd realize quickly beating the Lakers is important. We're winning. Yet you're more concerned about Jimmer?

 

[kingjatt]

what an appropriate night/time to do a profile on coach smart.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

If you'd have bet me that we'd have the lead at half, with Cousins held scoreless, ten turnovers, behind in the battle of the boards, and the lakers having a 15-2 FT advantage, you'd have taken some of my money, for sure.

I'm a Jimmer fan first, is that a crime?

I changed the channel. Not because I don't like Smart .. I just felt awkward watching it after how we have played this season.

 

[Bricklayer]

foul trouble and injury may have helped him grow a brain stem, but unless my eyes decieived me, Keith Smart just finally managed to coach himself a half of basketball where his substitutions all made sense. Who woulda thunk?

Well, I'll say this: I'd be extremely reticent to run the 1-4 with Evans against a team with a legit shot blocker.

Or a Petrie pep talk, maybe.

As long as your Fredette love does not hijack KINGS discussion, there wouldn't be an issue. Your problem is that, in your case, it does.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

well who would have thought, u dont mess around with ridiculous lineups for the whole 2nd quarter and you actually outscore the other team in the quarter

 

[HereWeBoogie]

on the other hand. we would have a nice lead if it wasnt for that couple of minutes where LA put the starters back in before Smart did. i believe Kobe scored a quick 9 points in that time

Why of course he reads Kingfans - it just took awhile to sink in

 

[kingjatt]

to be fair guys the lakers did miss a ton of free throws, if they hit those were down around 10.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Evans with 5 assists, by the way. I'm sure that's the most any Kings player has had in one half this season.

he shot over IT like he wasn't even their.

While not defending the poster you quote, I am a little surprised that Jimmer doesn't see more playtime after a series of good games. He also has a history of playing pretty well against the Lakers. But, figuring out Smart's coaching would be better left to the astrologers, and Thornton looks to be breaking out of his shooting slump, so I'll shut my yap.
