[Game] Timberwolves @ Kings - 11/27/12

[kingjatt]

He is from Cali and played at UCLA so even though he came from the opposite side of the state, our reporters like to talk about him.

Maybe if we won the game handily, but in a game where his funky line-ups cost us and another night of questionable rotations I just feel a better question could be asked.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

This team will suck as long as smart is in charge. Such an idiot

 

[Glenn]

Cousins still has 4 fouls.

 

[PurpleHaze]

D+ for Smart?? I'd say D- at best...IT over Brooks and Jimmer, shelving JT, and pretty much having no clue. Smh

I don't disagree - just liked Smart's shirt and tie better than Adelman's Still, I gave Minny head coach A+ and he sure as heck deserved it.

 

[kingjatt]

To be fair, I would have benched JT too based on his play the entire game. Very poor on the defensive end.

in my opinion I wouldnt, you ride your best guys no matter if their having an off night and let him get out of the funk on his own, it happens all around the league, if jason comes out and isnt on his game, he knows he is not going to loose his job thus allowing him to comfortably get back into a rythm, it does wonders for a players mindset to know his role. Thats why IT comes out so jittery sometimes, he doesnt know if or when he will see the court again, it puts him on pins and needles, as it would with any player.

Now if the bad play gets extensive then you may look into demoting him, but JT has been playing great, no reason to believe he wouldnt be able to snap out of it because at the end of the day his best is still better than chucks best.

And our Hayes/T-Rob duo did any better?

Evans- 20pts on 9-14
Cousins- 20pts on 9-22

Pretty much says it all. Evans has to get the ball more especially with that jump shot falling. If his jump shot is truely good now than he is back to being our BEST player and Cousins has to be the 2nd option.

Sadly, no, which is why I'm pinning this loss on the 3 of them. I would probably have had JT in late 4th though, but I don't blame Smart from going away from JT earlier on

Careful.....you are going to get called a troll.

 

[rainmaker]

smart has never blamed himself, always just criticizes the players.

btw the first question asked by the sactown media is "what are your thoughts on Kevin Love?" WTF kind of first question is that who cares about kevin love?!

Anything else you can pass on?

 

[rainmaker]

Careful.....you are going to get called a troll.

He's spot on.

Straw man. Saying that Cousins might not be as good as Evans, if Evans' jumper is falling, will not get someone accused of being a troll around here. Now, a Jazz fan, with an agenda, saying that Cousins might not be as good as Derrick Favors, on the other hand...

 

[Gilles]

How about 5 straight practices of just boxing out? I mean, you take 2 more rebounds, and it's a 4 possession swing. The last time Kings were good at rebounding were the old days of 10/11 season. That was a really bad offseason for this team.

Straw man. I didn't mention anything about Derrick Favors. I said that Cousins wasn't having a great statistical game. That is all I said and I was right.

So much for owning the boards with TRob/JT/Cuz eh?

You might want to add a "setting screens" segment to that practice as well. Other than Jt and Chuck, this team sets terrible screens.

Well, that's not all you said: you also said that someone would get called a troll for saying that Cousins was the second-best player. A comment like that deserves the stupid response that it received.

Whatever dude. DMC didn't help his team win tonight. It took him 22 shots to get 20 points, he didn't rebound and according to other members of the board he didn't play good defense.

If Reke keeps playing like he is the Kings will win a bunch more games.

We knew that already. And, if you hadn't said that someone would get labelled a troll for saying what baller13 said, we wouldn't be having this conversation, so you can keep your "whatever."

 

[TyFreak Evans]

You're not gonna win a lot of games if your first and second free throws are launched with 7:52 left in the 3rd quarter...

Yeah, I was called a troll for pointing out the same thing that Baller13 pointed out. If that hadn't happened then we would be having this conversation.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Show me the post in question, and I'll be happy to explain to you why you're wrong.

Ok I'll play

My post was post #143 and I was called a troll on post #147. My post was in response to a post saying that the Kings had no shot because the beast had been taken out of the game and I said that I didn't think he was he was having a great game.

Okay, fair enough.

You were, unjustly, accused of being a troll for that comment. I was wrong, and I issue my unqualified apology.

Thank you.

Now let's unite in celebration of another Laker loss.

 

[Goo]

I think we need to put together a "buy rainmaker a court side seat" fund so he can yell at Smart every single game.

Or I will be happy to have either Rainmaker, Brick or Baja to replace Smart if xxxx Brothers need a budget replacment - by NBA standard.

not a bad idea
