[Game] Kings @ Pistons 1/1/2013

Brooks has to be smart enough to know the situation and know not to foul there

I don't think he would foul if he didn't hear the word foul being yelled from the sideline. Loud arena, across the court it's easy to not hear a word.

 

[Hoovtrain]

Watch, they will commit a stupid foul here

 

[LWP777]

I think Jerry has it right though. With all the noise and the directions being yelled across court, Brooks may have just heard the word "foul. Or maybe he's not bright.

This

It's rediculous that we can still win this so long as we stop the Pistons and let Jimmer take a shot at a 3.

exactly. any player should know you dont foul with that much time left and a 3 point game

Jerry may well have that right, but I still don't see how that's on the coaching staff. And it's not like I haven't been calling for Smart's head, just there I don't think it was his fault.

Makes no difference. He should have the basketball IQ to know not to foul there

 

[spudfan]

Glancing at the play-by-play it looks like Cousins hasn't touched the ball since the 8th minute of this quarter.

 

[Hoovtrain]

Give me a break

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Looked like a travel. Gahhh.

 

[eliczone]

that's what i keep saying

"Fire Smart"

he always puts wrong guy on the court

no matter it's crunch time or not

 

[HereWeBoogie]

ummm Austin Daye just ****in traveled

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Glancing at the play-by-play it looks like Cousins hasn't touched the ball since the 8th minute of this quarter.

good coaching

I think that's true. He's from the wrong unit and they don't know what to do with him.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

nice Defense on Daye there by the way......

 

[HereWeBoogie]

thank god the Pistons coach stopped that pass from going to outlaw

 

[spudfan]

I think that's true. He's from the wrong unit and they don't know what to do with him.

Looked at it again right now. He has taken ONE shot this quarter at the 9:55 mark.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

That ought to be a technical. I mean, I don't know the rule, but by all rights it should be a technical.

 

[Npliam]

Good thing they subbed for defensive purposes. That worked great.

 

[Glenn]

Anybody know why a coach touching the ball is not a technical? I've seen Lawrence on the court so something like this was bound to happen.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Such a winnable game. Damn.


So Kings.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

this ones on Keith Smart. once again.

did the same stupid **** he always does in the 2nd quarter.

and rode the bench lineup for too long in the 4th. if they close the gap, hooray, but you pat them on the back and put a few starters back in

 

[Glenn]

Looked at it again right now. He has taken ONE shot this quarter at the 9:55 mark.

I will never understand Smart. He has HIS guys and other guys are not so lucky.

 

[Npliam]

That ought to be a technical. I mean, I don't know the rule, but by all rights it should be a technical.

Agreed. What the hell? If that isn't a technical then I would do it every time If I were a coach.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

fantastic coaching. your most dominate player. who was having a good game. you get him ONE shot in the fourth. nice

 

[HereWeBoogie]

A Royal Pain ‏@ARoyalPain
So wait - a coach can pretty much run onto the floor to stop a fast break and it not be a T? Good to know.

 

[Circa_1985_Fan]

Wait a minute...just tuned in...WTF did Garcia play so dang much and done nothing again? Shouldn't those minutes be going to someone else that actually CAN produce like Johnson or Robinson??

yep ive been saying this for 5 years. the guys sucks.


Honeycutt needs a chance as well

 

[chief bromden]

Kings had a chance to pull this one out after being down double digits in the 4th. I guess that's all that can be asked for considering that its the Kings. Jimmer looked good for a bit, and Cousins had a nice game. Can't wait to watch Varejeo's hair flop around tomorrow night.

With no Tyreke and no Thornton - Garcia had to start and play some. Now with IT possibly suspended for next game expect Garcia back in the rotation - starting if still thin in backcourt.
