Big Time Rebounding by Evans/Skinner & Bench Play

[Diehard Jim]

Mo Evans Back to Back Games with career highs in rebounds he had 14 tonight 6 offensive and 8 defensive.
Skinner had 6 offensive boards tonight to. Don't forget his 4 blocks
Darius grabbed 9 boards and Peja pitched in 5.

I thought the bench did a great job in the few minutes they were in the 2nd quarter tonight.
Tag in the 5 mins he played had 3 rebounds 2 blocks and one foul.
martin played 11 mins had 4 points but no rebounds, he should take a note from mo and use his athelitic ability to grabs some boards.
House did nothing tonight but spelled mike for 3 mins
Corliss did a good job in his time grabbing 3 boards and scoring 8 points

when the kings get back brad, cat and kenny this is going to make the kings have a much better bench.

The kings looked very tired tonight in the 4th with peja and mike playing 46 and 45 mins respectivly and brina and mo palying 40 and 39 respectivly.

This is not going to be the case when we can get back the 3 missing tonight, but that is a lot of minutes!

One last thing Thank Goodness we had Mike tonight he scored all but 1 of the 4th quarter points

What a great gmae by everybody!! Peja might of done a little bad in the 4th but that is about it.

BIG PROPS to Skinner and evans for the dirty work. Same wiht Tag.

BUT MOST OF ALL, give props to my main man, MIKE BIBBY!!!! The man is CLUTCH!!

Mo is a rebounding machine. Keep it up Mo!

 

[iheartBrad]

everytime i looked up Mo was airbourne after a rebound....

love those rebounds...keep em coming boys!!!

 

[OptimusRhyme]

no doubt, Mo was everywhere tonight, he played great perimeter defence too..

Again, Skinner needs to start at Center, and we could move Brad to the PF.

No size on the bench is the only problem with that.

Exactly, If Brad and Skinner both get tired we will have no Centres to come off of the bench, I like Songaila starting but giving alot of his minutes to Skinner and Thomas. I'm pretty sure we will play Thomas on Small Forward too. I don't think Corliss will be gtting much minutes.

 

[Gary]

Ostertag, Songalia, Thomas, Williamson.... Depending on the size of the opposing lineup.

Come playoff time we should only use 8 or 9 guys.

Miller, Bibby, Peja, Mobley, Songalia, Williamson, Thomas, Skinner, Jackson (if healthy), and Evans. Which 8 would you choose?

Ostertag, Songalia, Thomas, Williamson.... Depending on the size of the opposing lineup.

We cannot and will not count on Tag.
That leave Songalia 6"10, Thomas 6"7 and Corliss 6"7 (6"6). That just won't cut it.

 

[iheartBrad]

but to GOs credit i thought he did a pretty darn good job in his minutes in the first half....good for him....even hit a FT

 

[Diehard Jim]

Tag can still be a good contributer, he is not ever going to go 20-10 but he can get the kings 5-7 rebounds in 10-15 mins and a few blocked shots if he was called upon to do so. I like the idea of skinner starting, but I also think that darius has earned a starting nod also. I like the Idea of playing each guy around 8 mins then let them rest for 4 and keep them in a rotation. brad,darius,brian,kenny

 

[OptimusRhyme]

^ Ya exactly, and Songaila is even 6"9 but closer to 6"8.. So I wouldn't rely on him to play Centre minutes.

I Could probably see the minutes going like this
Miller- 35
Thomas-25 --> Thomas will play some minutes at SF too.
Skinner-23
Songaila-17

Once Thomas learns the system he will get more playing time then Songaila.

Skinner is King Tut!

I'm curious. Why not wait and see what happens when Brad comes back? I simply don't understand why some people are so anxious to change our starting roster.
