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

[VF21]

They need to find a way to get Nik to the line. Let him see the ball go through the hoop... right now I think it looks like the eye of a very delicate needle to him.

 

[rainmaker]

Shooting 65% and only up 1.

I don't care all that much how many points we're putting up, lock it up on defense!

 

[VF21]

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

I'm choosing to be optimistic and view things from the possible positive.

 

[chasen4r1]

Ben was the ONLY player to hustle back after that turnover. I think its pathetic to just give up after you make a mistake.

 

[Sac.Kings]

Jeez... might be in some trouble since Rudy isn't returning. I hope tonight D-Thrill shows up. Ben and Nik... you gotta hit those open corner threes. What good are you as a shooter if you can't?

 

[Tetsujin]

The Ray/Nik combo may be the worst bench guard pairing in the league.

 

[Spike]

Ben was the ONLY player to hustle back after that turnover. I think its pathetic to just give up after you make a mistake.

Ben was the only one in position. You can't make that turnover.

 

[Kingster]

I don't like this run and gun crap. It's a cop-out.

 

[VF21]

Now this is the Carl Landry who doesn't make me crazy.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

#Paceramento

 

[rainmaker]

In all this ridiculous, up and down crap, we've forgotten we've got the 3rd best player in the world playing center for us.

 

[VF21]

Wow. Two mistakes in a row by BenBen. He got lucky Harris missed that shot when he left them wide open...and then that charge?

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Slow it down oh my god

 

[Spike]

Wasting stops by running.

 

[VF21]

Cut out the bright lights, shiny object stuff, guys. That was a totally ill-advised showboat pass that was destined to fail.

 

[Sac.Kings]

I hope JT is in after the timeout

 

[chasen4r1]

Every one of Nik's shots are short. Is this just a conditioning thing? No legs left? I know its early, but I'm trying to figure out what in the world is going on with his shot

 

[Capt. Factorial]

The Rudy injury is forcing Nik into big minutes and he is simply not a value player at this point.

 

[Sac.Kings]

Every one of Nik's shots are short. Is this just a conditioning thing? No legs left? I know its early, but I'm trying to figure out what in the world is going on with his shot

He is overwhelmed and we have no vet SG to help him. He is thinking too much in literally every aspect of the game. He wants to do well so far that he is his own worst enemy right now.

 

[Kingster]

McLemore is getting better and better at passing the ball. In a couple of years, watch out.

 

[Kingster]

Defense has been absolutely pathetic. If they lose this game I don't want to hear: We've got to play defense; that's our game.

 

[chasen4r1]

Get it to a guard Boogieeee, gah!

 

[206Fan]

Damn... we got the bad Magic Cousins tonight..

 

[CurseOfTheSalmons]

So Collison thought he was going to block Dirk's shot.

 

[Entity]

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

Yeah I didn't realize

 

[HereWeBoogie]

For the love of god play some defense and feed Cousins. He's only missed 2 shots so far, maybe stop trying to force PACE and get him the ball

 

[CurseOfTheSalmons]

Rondo's teasing us.

 

[206Fan]

Carl Landry has been our best player tonight..

 

[Spike]

Defense has been absolutely pathetic. If they lose this game I don't want to hear: We've got to play defense; that's our game.

Maybe Demarcus should remind them at halftime.

 

[206Fan]

Our offense is ok. Defense and transition is where it hurts... 4 wasted pts because of terrible transition offense..
