[Game] Final Four! Kings v. Wizards - 7/20 - 5:00 PT

[ElRey]

Moreland!

 

[swisshh]

Moreland basically stopped the bleeding, but the team needs to score some buckets and stop turning it over.

 

[dude12]

Time for Ray to run the ship down the stretch.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I mean that at the beginning of the half, it seemed like we were running our offense through him. Give him the ball and let him do something with it? He may have improved on offense a bit, but to make him the focal point is probably a bad idea. We lost all of our offensive balance when this started and it's reflected on the defensive end, too.

Same issue we had in the first game: running those Cousins plays, with Acy filling in. Corbin has to recognize that that's not going to work.

 

[dude12]

Nice Ben

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Moreland assist!

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

The other possibility, is that he's playing against stronger men now, which is different than playing against the boys. Until he gets stronger, playing against guys who are more physically 'mature' than he is, will tend to drain energy faster as well

Think about it like if you're playing 2K, and you never take your finger off the turbo.

 

[CurseOfTheSalmons]

moreland looked nice off the dribble there.

 

[gunks]

Give Moreland the max already

 

[Capt. Factorial]

T up Rice and get him out of here.

 

[dude12]

Rice again...should have T'd him up.....don't like that guy

 

[ElRey]

Rice should have gotten another technical there.

 

[Tetsujin]

Glenn Jambalaya

 

[Monster]

Rice is shaming his father's name. I hated him the one time Michigan played him and really don't like him now. Too much attitude - and not the right kind.

 

[VF21]

NICE defensive work ... Rice is gonna get tossed if he's not careful.

 

[Glenn]

Rice is an idiot, er, out of control.

 

[dude12]

Rice may not last in the NBA with that attitude....but then again JR Smith has a contract

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Rice is a scumbag

 

[SwishKing]

Ben's D looking better.

 

[ElRey]

Good Defense by Ben on Rice

 

[miltonap]

Wtf was that

 

[CurseOfTheSalmons]

what the hell was that?

It's weird because Sr. is a really quiet, calm guy.

 

[VF21]

Rice is nowhere near good enough to be pulling that prima dona stuff.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Nice, patient offense.

 

[VF21]

WTG Mr. Moreland.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Did you guys see how pissed Moreland was that he missed the block. This guy is awesome

 

[Monster]

Think about it like if you're playing 2K, and you never take your finger off the turbo.

I also thought that. Everyone knows how much Nik loves the game. I think he's going all out all the time on defense in an effort to improve that part of his game (which he has) but it's just tiring him out too fast. In my experience, if you tell the guy he can't do something, he's going to do everything he can to prove you wrong.

All I know is that I've never seen the kid breathing hard. Even in his toughest games, he was very well conditioned.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Ball movement is back.

 

[dude12]

Damn good pass Ben....Ray making a difference here as a calming influence.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Moreland!
