[Game] Game 9: Sacramento Kings @ Memphis Grizzlies, 11/13/14

[peacelate]

For what it's worth, that last play didn't look like a tip in. Looks like a catch and shoot.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Regardless of officiating, the Kings played like poopoo for the final 18 minutes of the game.

Either way though, that shot should NOT have counted and the Kings should be coming home at 6-3

i hope TNT exposes this bull crap on national TV tonight but probably just focus on the Kings choking

 

[Tetsujin]

In Memphis you can catch a rebound/call a TO/catch a lob/lay it in, all in that .6

In Memphis, you can order a rack of ribs, visit Graceland, do your laundry, and then hit a game winning basket in .3 seconds.

 

[Sac.Kings]

I hope Malone has one hell of a speech lined up, because if I were on that team, I would be wondering what else do I have to do to win and quite literally be depressed.

 

[wazzups]

it was amazing how much we should have been able to close that out....and we did...but we still lost

 

[jcwkings]

This game came down to Cousins foul trouble again, not only does the defense instantly suffer, but his rhythm is completely broken. Your best player can't be coming on and off the court. Cousins reaches and swipes at ball WAY too much. He is so strong and long that all he has to do is put his hands up and you will defend any shot well. All the drama at the end should have never taken place. This team cannot be great until Cousins learns how to stay on the floor, blaming the refs does nothing.

 

[hrdboild]

We buckle the second Demarcus, DC, or Rudy come out of the game.

Yeah -- it's a glaring problem and it needs to be solved ASAP. Ray should get all of Sessions' minutes for one thing and we need a decent defensive center on the bench who can play 15 minutes a game.

Don't hold your breath.

Here is the case play from the NBA case book. It appears that they changed the time from .3 or more to be able to "catch" and shoot:

With :00.1 remaining in the third period, Player A2 tips a “high lob” throw-in from Player A1 which results in a successful field goal. Shall the field goal be scored? If the ‘high lob’ is adjacent to the rim, Player A2 may tip or ‘slam
dunk’ the ball. Player A2 may tip the ball from anywhere on the court

with :00.1 or more remaining in the period. However, if the ball is a dis- tance from the rim, the ball may not be controlled unless :00.3 or more remain on the game clock.

Ok.. this is NOT on the refs. This is on players blowing a 20+ point lead for the 2nd game in a row and on a complete mental mistake on the final defensive stand.

No. This is on players managing to fight to the end even after blowing a significant lead and having the officials negate it. AND it's on the bogus technical that took Boogie out for a key portion of the game. Those things matter.

Thank you

 

[wazzups]

it was like the nba would not and could not allow us to win do they really disrespect us that much?????

 

[gunks]

Boogie struggles against Marc. Rudy tries to put up big numbers against his old team and kills our offense. We get blown out for the first time this season.

Well....

...My reverse jinx ALMOST worked.

 

[k_dubb90]

Welp we still the same old kings. Shout out to sessions matador defense

 

[Chubbs]

I guarantee you no team has ever blown a 24 and 26 pt lead in NBA history back to back. No ****ing way. It seems impossible.

 

[upinsmoke]

JASON THOMPSON needs to ride the bench.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

I want to know why the Kings didn't have 4 defender just standing right at the basket. let someone grab the ball and take a wide open 3, guess what? it wouldn't get off in time.

If that was Malone's idea we might need a new coach

 

[Chupacabra]

Ok.. this is NOT on the refs. This is on players blowing a 20+ point lead for the 2nd game in a row and on a complete mental mistake on the final defensive stand.

Nope, it's most DEFINITELY on the refs. The ball was caught and laid into the hoop with .3 seconds on the clock. The league's rules dictate that that final shot doesn't count. The replay wasn't even needed to make the call on this play.

 

[kingjatt]

malone looked like he was about to tear up

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

JT made the most boneheaded move I've ever seen. He stays on the screener, Gasol,.. and let Lee run to the rim.

It's mind boggling

 

[randymoss1881]

Remember that basketball IQ talk we had ya it's real. Only a dumbass (I'm looking at you JT) would follow the big leaving the rim open with .3 left. Do some thing man hedge, stay a little long, or just stay there knowing they want an ally no this idiot runs away.


Get brandon bass in here ASAP

Legal play now

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Well....

...My reverse jinx ALMOST worked.

My tuna casserole juju is officially dead. Which is good, because I was sick of eating it.

 

[Mad D]

Has the NBA ever changed the result of a game? If they haven't and are able to, this is the perfect time to exercise that right.

Kind of

DITTO - THANKS

 

[Tetsujin]

"Okay Sacramento, you can keep your team on one condition."

"What's that?"

"Our refs are going to be really really crapty to you."

 

[New Era]

It's not a rule. It's a matter of time and physics.

Actually, it is a rule:

With :00.1 remaining in the third period, Player A2 tips a “high lob” throw-in from Player A1 which results in a successful field goal. Shall the field goal be scored? If the ‘high lob’ is adjacent to the rim, Player A2 may tip or ‘slam
dunk’ the ball. Player A2 may tip the ball from anywhere on the court

with :00.1 or more remaining in the period. However, if the ball is a distance from the rim, the ball may not be controlled unless :00.3 or more remain on the game clock.

exactly what Reynolds said in the post game. Everybody, besides Hollins, sold have been guarding the paint.

 

[wazzups]

No. This is on players managing to fight to the end even after blowing a significant lead and having the officials negate it. AND it's on the bogus technical that took Boogie out for a key portion of the game. Those things matter.

that is my sentiment exactly..this one should hurt them at the heart but they have to find a way to overcome and fight on..........

I don't even understand why he would run to cover a big man who can't even shoot (I think he was on Koufus), not even going to mention you can't get a shot off in 0.3, but lets say you could ,you want Koufus taking a wide open jumper anyway. Common sense.............Why was Cuz not in the game ,he;s got like the biggest wingspan on our team and is the best rim protector on the team.
