[Game] Game 4: Sacramento Kings @ Denver Nuggets, 11/03/14 6PM PST, 9 PM EST

[rainmaker]

These Den announcers really don't know the game all that well.

Still better than Grant and Jerry though.

Random observation of the night: The little gold tag is ridiculous.

 

[Prince_XY]

Instant thinking/decision.

 

[kingsboi]

sloppy first half...Denver doesn't want to win this game, Kings just needs to take it.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Casspi impacting the game again

 

[c-webb1s#1]

cassspppiiiiii!!!

 

[CurseOfTheSalmons]

we're on pace to hold them under 100 pts!

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Wow somehow these teams managed to score 51 and 46 points in a half in this UGLY game. Thanks Joey Crawford!

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Inconceivably, we have fifty-one points at the half, and we're still holding Denver under thirty-five percent.

 

[Gilles]

Nice finish to a half!

 

[Monster]

Really nice end to the half. Well done.

While all that is true, it is just so hard for me to get invested in this game. There's no rhythm or flow.

It's hard for me to get invested too. The whistles in the first quarter were out of control. But there's been an awful lot of negativity in this thread for a game we're winning with quality defense. I know it's been so long since a Sacramento team played good defense that it's hard to remember what this kind of a game can look like, but I'm very encouraged that this team is still hustling to contest shots despite a poor shooting night, no help at all from the refs, and short rest. This is a tone setting game for us and I'm very encouraged so far.

 

[The Hammer]

This was actually a very well coached and well played first half by the Kings.

Refs quite whistle happy, but that was our strategy: attack, draw fouls, slow it down, play great half court (and transition) D.

Stop your complaining cause it doesn't look pretty.

Also, we kept our cool through all the bad calls on us.

I see mature basketball players.

 

[jdbraver]

Hating on McLemore is one thing, but what the hell has Stauskas done to earn minutes?

Apparently he bugs Joey Crawford. That's something.

agree. Only the defending champions should have that IMO

 

[206Fan]

We need to keep Nurkic out of foul trouble. He's been great for us

lmao funniest comment of this thread.

 

[The_Jamal]

That was great D by Omri at the end their too on Faried.

Not be Ramon Sessions at shooting guard.

 

[kingsnation]

Just got home from work, caught the last few min of the 2nd half. Kings looking great again!

 

[miltonap]

Man, this team is looking really good. We just need more production from the SG position. Defense looks very solid. Good movement on offense too

 

[Larry89]

It has been a while since Ive seen a good inbounds play drawn up like that

 

[Glenn]

Can't we ask Casspi not to drive inside?

He barely gets the ball to touch the rim everytime he does that.

I don't think that's true.

 

[kingsnation]

Really liking what Landry and JT are bringing tonight. Of course, Omri and Collison as well.

 

[KingMilz]

Solid first half, just need Cuz and Rudy to slightly tidy up the shot selection and we should be able to pull away, Casspi was very nice in the first half and JT played a 2nd terrific game in a row. Collison has outplayed Lawson so far

We are in terrific position considering Cuz and Gay have not heated up at all from the field.

 

[Glenn]

they call a jumpball these days even if the other player doesn't have the hand on the ball...correct?

Ues. The guy laying on top gets to jump. Some people would call that a foul instead.

 

[Larry89]

Defense has looked great compared to last year.. not seeing Cousins in foul trouble is great. Collison holding his own guarding pick and rolls

 

[The Hammer]

It has been a while since Ive seen a good inbounds play drawn up like that

That was a thing of beauty.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Where are Bobby Jackson's eyebrows?

Too random. Please explain.

That's kind of what DFC said to Jason while they were both on the line during a free throw. I like it. (And if someone else already mentioned that, my bad. It's hard to follow the game thread with lots of fans - not that I'm complaining. )
