another DNP for Jimmer last night against the Hawks. Had the Kings not come back in the 4th quarter and made a game of it, maybe Jimmer would have been inserted in garbage time again. Jimmer sat on the bend, 3rd from the end. He looked to be interacting with the players he sat next to. In...

I was thinking about the cowbell podcast where they were talking about how Crawford told his coach that he doesn't play defense. He is what he is. He brings offense and that's it. IT expends so much energy on offense, no wonder he has to take a break playing defense. Jimmer was the same way...

Yes, after last night is the PERFECT time to bring up IT's shortcomings. Because you saw him at his best. And I'm saying that IT, even at his best, is not a formula for winning basketball. He's not someone you can build around, and a ball stopper like him (non-starter would be more accurate...

1. McLemore looks to be a real talent. Size. Speed and burst. Great looking jumpshot. I think the comparison to a Ray Allen type is apt. He has the potential to be an excellent shooting guard. And it looks like he isn't a head-case. So he has that going for him as well. Best player on...

After watching the game last night, I was very eager to see how IT would be graded. Was hoping Brick would do the honors, but it was one of his comnpadres. IT got a pretty good grade esp. for the 3rd and 4th quarter runs where he was instrumental. Many others had positive comments about IT...

You're right. There are many ways. For example, the Kings could give inordinate playing time to McLemore even if he is very mediocre. They will trade wins for player development. In the case of Vasquez and Patterson, they will give them a lot of time just to collect data. Trade wins for...

Tanking means dumping your best overpaid players in hopes of future gains. Think the Kings would dump MT if they could? Yes. Even if meant they would win fewer games this year? Yes.

well let's be fair... Kings trying to tank vs. just being bad may be a distinction lost to both fans and the Kings themselves. At some level, aren't the Kings chances this year dependent on Vasquez and McLemore. Specifically regarding McLemore, that he will be better than Reke? And that...

The starting PF and SF sure look like they are playing distracted.

Not enough talent around Cousins to smell the playoffs I am afraid. Which is an argument for tanking this year. In which case, Kings fans and Jimmer fans could unite in giving lots of minutes to Jimmer.

This is accurate. The 2012-13 Kings were a team that not even a mother could love. If you are a fan of good basketball, and you only want to watch good basketball, then you certainly don't spend your time watching the Kings. For me, following the Kings has been a new experience. I don't...

Continuing my thoughts on Jimmer--the problem for Jimmer is that Sacramento already has a Jimmer. Isaiah Thomas. You want an undersized-score-first point guard? Fine. You want two? No dice. I think we are all pretty aware of IT's strengths and weaknesses. The major problem I have with IT...

I'm well aware of the name of this forum, and have frequented it for years. I have read many detailed descriptions of games and players. This post was meant to add to that tradition of providing detailed analysis and description, for people who could not watch the game, or wanted a take on how...

This is a valid question. If posed by someone who is a Kings fan, it is an ironic question. The title of the thread advertised that there would be an analysis of Jimmer's play against the Warriors. If either I failed in my description or execution, then I am to blame. [Staff added "(or...

Jimmer came into the game with 3:07 left in the 4th quarter with Golden State ahead 93-74. One of the great debates of the 2013-14 season finally came to an end--would Jimmer play at the 1 or 2? He has been slotted in at point guard. 3rd stringer behind Vasquez and Isaiah Thomas. Dangerously...

I'm at the game. Kings look uncoached. giving up easy looks. and playing street ball on offense. Cousins turning the ball over. reke showing his talent at the rim.

Let me add, you can be a great individual talent, but not really make your teammates better. Carmelo might be an example of that. There are certain things he does well, and certain other things he doesn't do very well. Some offenses are just not going to work if Carmelo is the focal point...

Let's be fair here....for people that live in a different part of the country, that don't have a direct connection to Sacramento or the Kings, what real incentive is there to be a Kings fan? Or better yet, if you actually do live in Sacramento, is this a team that is easy to get behind? Losing...

Free league pass is done for the season. I was going to buy game plan last year under the idea that I could watch Jimmer. But when I realized Jimmer was only getting a few minutes, and the Kings weren't that enjoyable to watch anyway.... So my actual viewing of games is going to go down from...

Quick intro. New to the board. But I have been reading and lurking since the beginning of last season. I am one of those college Jimmer fans that only started paying attention to the Kings because of Jimmer. However, I am not one of those people that thinks that Jimmer is an incredible...
