Game -5: Sacramento Kings v. Brooklyn Nets. 10/11/14 10 PM PST 1PM Chinese Time (I Think)

[The_Jamal]

Nooo, want more Boogie VS Lopez

 

[kingsboi]

the team is playing very aggressive on defense...I love it.

 

[The_Jamal]

Casspi in for Gay. Bad news for D-will

 

[The_Jamal]

So while that wasn't a great pass from Casspi, it's still a PnR with Reggie Evans. Do we not know this guy has absolutely 0 offensive game?

 

[206Fan]

bad foul call.

 

[206Fan]

what....landry on plumelee?!?

Casspi let's you know he is in game scoring or not. Dwill not so much

 

[fursty13]

Rough start, but nice recovery for the team. Don't like seeing Cuz pick up that 2nd foul. Seemed like he was a little tired and wanted out. He's gotta be mentally stronger than that come regular season (which I expect him to be).

 

[The_Jamal]

Good take from Casspi with the off-hand, right at Brook.

 

[206Fan]

One thing with D-Will..if he can't score, he's useless... Casspi can at least contribute in other ways such as passing, rebounding, and some defense.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Who got T'd?

 

[rainmaker]

So no defense up front and going small with Reggie at center is a strategy, not just a matchup vs Toronto.

Stupid. Flat out stupid.

 

[rainmaker]

When Malone says Collins was brought in for defense and singled out as a defensive acquisition, then he's not considered a better backup center than Reggie Evans in Malone's mind, we've got a problem. And BK isn't going small, they've got their AS center on the floor. Unbelievable.

 

[CurseOfTheSalmons]

i don't understand the obsession with having no center out there. hollins should be out there.

How the hell did coach have Evans against Lopez and Landry against Plumlee?

 

[Sac.Kings]

Man we need a better and taller frontcourt. Also I get angry just looking at Westphal. I do not like that man.

 

[kennadog]

Well, it wasn't at all helpful to have both Cousin and JT get two foul early. It's not like we have a plethora of backup centers.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I just figured out why G-Man's coverage is not listed as available on ALP, and it basically means I'm screwed:

ALP lists all the games that are scheduled for the day. In this case, that day is Saturday, October 11. But, unless you live in California, the game didn't come on on October 11, it came on on October 12. And those games are not listed. And, if my memory of how ALP works operates, they won't be listed until around 1200 EST.

Stupid pass omri

Given we've seen this rotation through the first three preseason games, the logical explanation is that defense simply is not important.

We sure as s*** aren't making the playoffs in the west with this rotation.

Looks like nik may be off tonight.. Starting to notice when he isn't scoring he isn't doing much else

 

[Livinthedream]

We're not looking to pass as much tonight.

 

[Sac.Kings]

Looks like nik may be off tonight.. Starting to notice when he isn't scoring he isn't doing much else

To be fair some of the passes he has received have been less than stellar. He has missed his first 2 shots no biggie.

 

[kennadog]

Can't say I'm liking the work at either end of the floor right now.

 

[KingMilz]

Aside from our PG's the rest of the team has played badly so far

 

[206Fan]

I feel like everytime Evans gets the ball, something bad happens..

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

We're not looking to pass as much tonight.

Let's be fair to the Nets, they are significantly better defensively than the Raptors.

 

[kennadog]

Nik is off so far.

 

[KingMilz]

Sessions is my new favorite Kings love that guys game

 

[206Fan]

lol i'm pretty sure that Nets player stepped out of bounds after the rebound
