[Game] Game 75: Kings v. Pelicans, 4/3/15 - 7pdt, 10edt

[ParniValjak]

I think we might the only team in the league that makes Pondexter channel in his inner Larry Bird. He kills us with 3s every time. A solid 3 and D guy but c'mon!

Oh anf Tyreke is crap cos he can't shoot n crap!

The dude is kicking our ass and taking names. Would love to get him back and under Karl, he would be unstoppable at PG.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

We're out-shooting NO 48.5% to 46.5% and have 6 turnovers to their 7.

Where we're losing is on defense. NO is 8-14 from 3 and is killing us on the glass 27 to 13.

Defense? Vas ist?

 

[jcwkings]

We are a terrible 3 pt shooting team and terrible at defending the 3 pt line. Recipe for disaster in the current NBA.

 

[VF21]

Defense? Vas ist?

 

[VF21]

Okay, this is looking better.

 

[VF21]

Nice, nice play by Casspi - running right at AD, well aware he's already got three fouls.

 

[VF21]

NOTE to Kings: If the big guy dishes you the ball, MAKE THE SHOT. We're talking history stuff here, dudes.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Career high three-pointers made for Quincy Pondexter.

PONDEXTER SHOULD NEVER HAVE AN OPEN LOOK AT THE BASKET FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT. Or is that just me???

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Egad.

 

[mac]

One thing I must say is that the Kings in both games have done a very good job of not giving AD open jumpshots.

 

[VF21]

So anybody have an idea how many different NBA players have had career nights against the Kings this season?

 

[gunks]

Win or lose, I really want to give a hand to our perimeter defense.... It has just been terrific tonight.....


.... for our draft position!

 

[Livinthedream]

Our defensive philosophy under Karl invites the three and we're not fast enough to close out on the shooter.

Open 3s all day

 

[VF21]

...sigh...

Sure hope George Karl can pull a rabbit out of his hat for this one. A really tall rabbit that can defend the three and stop Quincy Pondexter from even seeing the bucket.

 

[SLAB]

Again, it's time to unleash the 7'6 secret weapon!!

 

[rainmaker]

Well that'll be on Sports Center.

 

[The Hammer]

This team just does not look very good at all.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Feel so bad for Cuz

 

[Bricklayer]

Tyreke is so much better than any of our guards it is not funny. I will never get over letting him go at that $$ figure. Will not. Because I was right. And we were idiots, as usual.

Just a wasteland around Cuz at this point.

 

[Spike]

So, why aren't we going big vs. The Pelicans again?

 

[VF21]

And yet they've pretty much kept AD from doing much of anything...

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

lol

 

[mac]

This team just does not look very good at all.

I actually think we're doing alright ... missing a bunch of FTs but overall we don't look like headless chickens running around, which is an improvement in my book. We are missing Gay and Collison - you're never going to have a very effective smooth-run team with second year Ray Mac at the helm. Defense of course leaves much to be desired.

 

[SLAB]

Saucy.

 

[VF21]

Love the mariachi music when Sauce hit the 3!

 

[gunks]

I guess Cuz can be our dribble penetration style PG

[SLAB]

DMC is so bloody good. Why the hell can't the team put talent around him?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Cousins straight trucked Asik.
