[Game] Game 19: Sacramento Kings vs. Indiana Pacers, 12/6/14 7 PM PST, 10 PM EST

[IfAt1st]

That was one of the worst jumpshots Ive ever seen by Jason Thompson

How does the guy FORGET how to shoot?
2 seasons ago, he was fairly money with that shot - now he's airballing them consistently.
I thought guys were supposed to get BETTER with shooting as they got older and more experienced?

 

[dude12]

I'm not even close to giving up on Stauskas. He's got a lot of creative skill and Bball IQ, that will come out in the future in this league

Would be nice to see it sooner rather than later.

Off-topic but Vucevic was out tonight for Orlando. Will he play tomorrow against the Kings?

 

[IfAt1st]

We need a backup C and a backup PG. That backup PG is going to need to be able to create our offense completely stops with our bench. No one can create asides from Omri but he's not a PG.

I still think Beno would be the answer.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I've got to admit, I get a chuckle out of Charlie Hustle's Skechers commercial.

 

[IfAt1st]

Why does Luis Scola always kill the Kings whenever he plays them?

Why again did the Kings not get him when they could have?
Why did some KF's say he was "too old" back then?

Maybe it's time we recognize that South American players actually improve with age, like a nice wine.

(After his 3-pointer)
My son said:
"Yeeeeeaaaahhhh!!! McLemore!!!!! Poppin tags!!"

Good to see the team play well to start the 3rd

[flamecrow]

just tuned in. how is hollins in three words?

 

[dude12]

Gay's shot tonight looks pure

 

[Sac.Kings]

Hollings is pretty much in there to foul and hack everyone within 10ft of him

 

[Spike]

I meant skill, not looks. Pedant.

 

[lwc]

Good to see the team play well to start the 3rd. Speaking of 3rd, Hibbert just got his 3rd foul

 

[Spike]

just tuned in. how is hollins in three words?

Upside down turtle.

 

[theclash4u5]

I think Collison's shoulder is still hurting him because his three's always look pretty short

Better than nothing

Well, you can't play the starters the whole 2nd half... maybe the subs won't shtoink it this time.

They were talking about him shooting a lot of 3 pointers in the preseason. I wonder if he took his mid range shot for granted and lost some touch in that range?

This is Ben's 8th straight double-figure scoring game.

 

[theclash4u5]

Yikes that 3 by Collison does not look good at all

 

[Spike]

Son of a...

True test will be for bench to give this starting group some support here this half - Kings have Magic tomorrow, Coach trying to manage min

Is it too much to hope that they can hold it down for the fourth quarter, and save the starters for the b2b?

 

[The_Jamal]

The reality of rookie projections is that they are exactly that; projections. Unless an Anthony Davis or LeBron James walks into the league (which, there are very few Anthony Davis or LeBron James caliber of players who walk into this league) no one knows what sort of success a guy will have until we actually start seeing them play.

I'm perfectly fine holding my opinion off on Stauskas until a later date just as I did with Ben last season. Thankfully, we're in a position where we don't need Nik to contribute to win games. So keep giving him minutes and exposure to the NBA and hope we see dividends of that patience down the line.

I hope not.

Hollings never looks to shoot but always gets fouled
