[Game] Bobcats-Kings - 1/4/14 - 7 p.m. PST

It's a chore for me to tolerate Ben every night. His defense is improving, but it's hard for me to tolerate the garbage shooting percentages from all areas on the floor, mistakes, lack of rhythm for the game. Kid hasn't given me the confidence in his future like he has others apparently.

I am a lot less irritated at a rookie with obvious physical skills then guys who have been in the league a few years and don't seem to have a clue. I trust Malone on this one.

Then he wonders why there is no help. Actually he got help but committed the foul himself. I'm fed up.

The clapping of his hands and yelling at Acy makes me upset. IT hasn't been a good teammate tonight.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Huh. Odd time for Jimmer.

Question is which way were IT/Acy supposed to send the ball. It was above the elbow so I'd guess towards the center of the floor. If so, Acy actually played it right and IT forced the ball the wrong way. But if they were supposed force the ball towards the baseline, which I don't know why you would on that part of the floor with that much room open, then Acy played it completely wrong.

Thing is, when you're playing, the guy helping, in this case Acy, is usually yelling "screen left or screen right" and "help right or help left". Actually directing the guy guarding the ball to where the help is. IMO it's a lot less likely Acy was the one at fault.

 

[Glenn]

Huh. Odd time for Jimmer.

Who did he replace? Maybe there's a clue there.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Jimmer time great

 

[cuad]

Why the heck is Jimmer leaning in when he shoots?

 

[mac]

I don't see why we don't keep posting up Cousins when Jimmer is in the game. Have Acy screen for Jimmer and feed Cousins in the post!

 

[Heuge]

I have never watched a team play worse parameter D on a game by game basis. Has to change someday, right?

 

[VF21]

Color me hopelessly homer, but the little voice in my head is telling me we're gonna get this one.

GO KINGS!

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

This team is about to implode. Everyone yelling at everyone, panicking at every whistle .. If we don't pull this one out, Cousins might break two whiteboards.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

If we cam play solid D for the rest of the quarter 9which is by no means an easy task for us) then we have a great chance at winning this game.

 

[KingMilz]

Thank god for Gay Cousins in the 2nd half and man would Gerald Henderson look good in a Kings jersey.

Perimeter, perimeter.

But if they were supposed force the ball towards the baseline, which I don't know why you would on that part of the floor with that much room open, then Acy played it completely wrong.

If there was any kind of screen, maybe. IT let his man walk right past him anticipating the screen. He did nothing to stay in front of him. It's probably a byproduct of being terrible at playing against screens and trying to cheat on them every time. Acy had zero reason to jump out there and leave his man since there was not a screen.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

The Kings aren't doing anything on offense right now. No movement, just passing it around the perimeter.

 

[enigma99a]

Game over I think

 

[VF21]

Game over I think

Actually, there's over 4 minutes left.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

i feel bad for the guy. not sure how much longer he can put up with this trash. let's hope he is more patient than his on court attitude leads us to believe he is

 

[enigma99a]

Thanks for taking Jimmer out.. man

 

[rainmaker]

Get Cuz in the post godda***t!!!!

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Thornton needs to at least PRETEND to try to get open. Cousins looks at him for 5 seconds and gets nothing, has to go back to IT.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Isaiah sure does a great job running offense.... just looks for his shot and if that doesnt work out he passes to someone and makes them create

 

[theclash4u5]

Jefferson is scoring at will against Cuz

Well he needs a few shots to get into a rhythm, instead he gets a few shots a night total.

 

[mac]

Can someone explain to me why we aren't just posting up Cousins??? I mean sometimes I wonder just what the coaching staff/ players are thinking. Why the heck do we want Cousins stuck at the free throw line extended??

 

[VF21]

I still maintain the game is ours for the taking. It just feels like we should put a run together now. I demand it!

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Cousins sure gets a lot of blatantly obvious stupid goaltends

 

[KingMilz]

Same old same old Cousins taking jumpers like it's 2012 and letting Jefferson abuse him

 

[dmj]

In Cousins defense no one on offense was really moving trying to get open.
