[Game] Game 38: Sacramento Kings vs. Dallas Mavericks, 1/13/15. 7PM PST 10PM EST

So much for the good bench rotation. Back to sporadic subs. Lets see how goes.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Well then

 

[Spike]

DWill. You tease.

 

[lawlman91]

We should build around Derrick Williams, right Pace?

 

[Glenn]

And Cousins is having success to night with his jumper.

It gets difficult to tell him that a 6'11" man should not be shooting jump shots, doesn't it? I have always been of the mind that he has to figure out for himself what he can and can't do. He's a smart guy and already we know he can do things on the court that has not been seen before by a guy his size..

Tonight I say shoot away, big guy, shoot away.

 

[chasen4r1]

D-Will for MVP!

 

[Sac.Kings]

The question of the night is who can play defense worse??

 

[rainmaker]

To quote the great Jerry Reynolds, "He's taking what the defense is giving him."

It's a pattern which has developed over the last couple weeks. Intentional.

Works while the jumpers fall. I'd still say getting the Dallas frontline in foul trouble and eating them up inside gives us a better chance over 4 quarters.

 

[Tetsujin]

Oh hey, the bench isn't a total mess to start the quarter. It's a (late-)Christmas miracle!

I'm liking what I'm seeing ... and it's giving Rick Carlisle fits. Let them adjust to us for once.

according to several people on Twitter, Rudy ran into the locker room "hobbling" a bit. That probably threw off the rotations

One good thing, though, is that DFC isn't getting any fouls called against him right now. That could pay dividends later on.

And yes, I know he's on the bench at the moment.

 

[Glenn]

The Kings' midrange game tonight is on point

Landry is deadly from this range.

 

[Spike]

This zone for Dallas. It does not work.

 

[Tetsujin]

Ben has suddenly become a solid passer.

 

[VF21]

Ben McLemore just has to be able to connect with those on a regular basis. He's almost as frustrating as Cisco used to be.

 

[chasen4r1]

Arco was ready to erupt if Ben hit that 3

Rudy Gay will not return to the game. Left knee strain.

 

[CurseOfTheSalmons]

Check out these plays Ben is making.

 

[VF21]

Whooop, there it is!

 

[chasen4r1]

Has Ben been hanging out with John Stockton or what?

 

[Tetsujin]

In other developing NBA news, Pop left the Spurs team bus with sharp chest pains.

I'd say ratz but it might not bite us in the arse tonight.

 

[Spike]

The first team to play defense will win.

 

[rainmaker]

Hope he's alright.

 

[VF21]

In other developing NBA news, Pop left the Spurs team bus with sharp chest pains.

Oh no. IN a moment of absolute sincerity, my thoughts and prayers are with Pop.

 

[Mad D]

Tunnel girl's smile faded away as Rudy limped past her on that replay.

 

[VF21]

Somebody might want to think about guarding that Rondo guy. He looks like he might know how to play the game.

 

[Entity]

Bmac had 4 assist the other night 3 already tonight. He is starting to drive more. Don't look now but his game is evolving

 

[HereWeBoogie]

I'd say ratz but it might not bite us in the arse tonight.

Maybe if Casspi weren't out. D-Will being our only healthy SF on the roster isn't a great sign
