Wait. Stop.

NINE BLOCKED SHOTS in the first half by the KINGS?

Whoa. Life. Is. Good.

2 from Nik

Whoa. Life. Is. Good.

Why not?

 

[Monster]

Honestly, both of our SGs are ignored in this offense. It'd be nice to actually get them back into it. Both can score and both can create. I see no need of Kevin Martin. Just need to let the young guards do what they can do. It looks like they've been handicapped. Whether by coaching design or not having the trust of teammates...I don't know.

 

[VF21]

it would be better if we can pull of a win

You have to acknowledge improvement when you see it. It's about a lot more than the win or loss. There were WEEKS when we didn't have 9 blocked shots. Having that in 24 minutes of play is beyond huge.

 

[Glenn]

2 from Nik

Nik actually has some hops.

 

[Bricklayer]

Can't blame those clowns for having high basketball IQ.

Can't you see the fugly subs and combinations we're using and how the other team had capitalized on them?

That might be, but I've always thought that 90% of a coach's worth isn't anything you can see on the floor. Does he have guys playing together and hard? Does he have effective defensive and offensive schemes? We just see the rotations, but these games are often won and lost before you ever step on the floor.

 

[Chubbs]

Nik needs help to get good shots by way of passing and movemt. I'm not sure how feeding Reggie Evans is supposed to accomplish that.

 

[rainmaker]

Yeah. I'm almost ready to double down on that idea. I do think he might be available. And we are behind in this one in considerable part because we are 1-3 form 3ptland in this game. Clips are 7-15. We need a third scorer. We need a shooter. Hmm..

The writing is on the wall for him with Minn drafting Wiggins. They played Kev at SF and Young at PF last night. That's not a long-term plan.

 

[Glenn]

The thing about Rudy is what looks like a bad shot for him many times isn't, due to his length and rhythm. What some think are forced/contested shots are good shots with the height on his release, it rarely if ever gets blocked.

It's his wide wing span.

 

[kingsnation]

Nice play by Gay.

 

[sactownfan]

Jeez Ben just give us nothing

 

[HereWeBoogie]

umm that's a travel or a jump ball. Not a foul on Rudy

 

[HereWeBoogie]

This game is about to get away from us

Ben giving us NOTHING

 

[Prince_XY]

We have a few people in learning mode and Malone is one of them. I like him as a coach and I suspect the players like him also. Clearly you have to give Malone credit for the improved defense.

On a different subject, let's remember that in the last 11 games, the Clippers have won 10.

This one I have to agree. It looks like he's got the players on board into playing defense. Collison's addition might have contributed a lot too. The young man is just so contagious out there.

But the sub pattern at and the small ball line-up which is clearly upto Malone?

Ewww.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Wow they called the foul when they saw the shot miss. The fix is in

 

[kingsnation]

This game is about to get away from us

Yeah you can kind of sense it. We've got to keep it close.

 

[VF21]

Hey, Grant? STFU again! You're about as supportive of our team as Doc Rivers at this point. YOU'RE THE KINGS COMMENTATOR, not Grant the sports talk radio host right now. You make Debbie Downer sound like Pollyana.

 

[kingsnation]

BIG CUZ.

 

[Glenn]

Wow they called the foul when they saw the shot miss. The fix is in

They do this alot.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Ben needs to hit the open ones ...

 

[kingsboi]

it's the Cousins Kings right now...he needs some help though.

 

[fursty13]

Griffin's shooting form makes me want to barf.

probably a lot more of the latter, but, they dont seem to trust themselves, honestly. And thats a bigger
problem here, with Ben especially.

 

[Monster]

I'd hate to see where we'd be if we didn't have Cousins. Yikes. I guess we'll struggle with consistency this year.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Amazing entry from Rudy!

 

[kingsnation]

Just keep giving Cuz the ball!

 

[VF21]

It's Boogie time.

 

[NewArena]

Thank God Cousins fell to the 5th spot in the draft. ugh

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Nice offensive basket interference by Jordan. smh. Refs taking over

 

[kingsboi]

so keep posting Collison up until there are adjustments?
