[Game] Celtics @ Kings

[The_Jamal]

Either way, what a great way to start off the game. Best we've looked defensively and offensively for a really really long time

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Honeycutt and Donte together looks pretty long and athletic on D.

 

[swisshh]

Walton just said DMC is not a good individual rebounder. He should be fired on the spot.

Walton was doing well until then. Then he just had one of those "I rambled too far" moments.

Maybe he meant it takes more than one individual player to keep Cousins off the boards.

 

[Glenn]

Walton just said DMC is not a good individual rebounder. He should be fired on the spot.

But then he said not in the same class as Russel, Malone, Chamberlain. DMC is a great rebounder, guy.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Honeycutt really has a lot of skills. Very good passer and handle for his size and athleticism.

 

[Glenn]

The Kings are playing without a PG. My goodness, how can they survive?

 

[Nighthawk1]

KG not going to bully DG so far.

 

[The_Jamal]

JT is playing some serious ball. Holy cow!

 

[Nighthawk1]

Something fired these guys up, and I'm glad to see it.. go Jt go

 

[PurpleHaze]

I know old Celts are relatively slow but Kings seem very fast out in transition, quick on the ball, both sides of the ball. Reke bringing it up slow as molasses not missed tonight.

 

[Sac.1989]

were doing well with Salmons back in the starting lineup at SF at JT at PF keeping the Cs to 33% in the 1st

We need Reke and IT starting next to each other in the backcourt.

Ideally long term we find another SF and with Honeycutt giving us glimpses now who knows what could happen there.

By default, we're using more size, limiting a tiny backcourt, and magically its helping.

 

[The_Jamal]

It's becoming increasingly apparent that it's going to have to choose Reke or Thornton to find the proper chemistry this team needs

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

So I guess were using everyone tonight. Ugh.

 

[rainmaker]

Why is Smart going extra large all the sudden? Outlaw at the 2?

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Donte has 7 points in 6 minutes, why in gods name is Outlaw playing.

And no I don't care if he just hit that shot.

 

[The Hammer]

Honeycutt and Donte together looks pretty long and athletic on D.

Which is something everybody except the Kings coaching staff can see apparently.

 

[PurpleHaze]

So I guess were using everyone tonight. Ugh.

No Reke, no Cisco. I believe only 11 Kings dressed tonight.

 

[rainmaker]

Uh, Jimmer the weak link on D?

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

I hate to pile on here, but Outlaw is just a garbage basketball player.

I don't say a player sucks often, but Travis Outlaw sucks.

 

[The_Jamal]

Gotta love those phantom big market ref calls.

 

[Dr. Spaceman]

This is essentially what Thornton would look like coming off the bench, and I like it. He can stay aggressive and be the main option, and it doesn't look eye-openingly ridiculous when he's not passing up Cousins or Reke on the way to the hoop.

Secondly, I commend Smart on playing Honeycutt and Donte tonight, though it's probably more out of necessity/desperation than anything. But regardless, hopefully those two open up his eyes tonight and earn future minutes.

 

[rainmaker]

Walton said that perfectly. Smart needs to sub his key guys out earlier and bring them back earlier.

 

[Nighthawk1]

I've counted 2 good passes by MT today... color me shocked.

Edit: not good, great

You have a unique working definition of the word "apparent."

So Tyreke's not going to play any minutes anymore?

The two simply aren't gelling together

 

[Yocrunch]

that last fast break was legit 2002 kings play.

 

[Reke]

Jimmer is gonna be fine.. His shooting is great And he can pass... Once he polishes his handles, he'll be cool..

 

[The_Jamal]

Pass the fing ball you idiots

 

[rainmaker]

I have NEVER seen a player run out of bounds on a freakin fastbreak. Well done, Travis.
