[Game] [GAME] Kings vs Knicks 12/31/11

[slugking50]

There we go! Get some mo going.

 

[Kings Faithful]

The only acceptable reason to miss FT like that is if you're Shaq and have zero accuracy from any sort of distance.

And Melo heating up.

Not even then dude. You get paid MILLIONS to play basketball and you can't make the easiest shot in basketball? Give me a break. I'm not to worried about Rekes FT shooting though, its just a mental thing right now, he'll get over it. Its the other things about this team that are worrying me.

Donte!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Krunker]

Donte Green sighting

 

[cuad]

Donte Greene!

 

[Kings Faithful]

Get Salmons the F out of there. I know its tuff guarding Anthony but he is obviously fouling him off the ball now...

 

[TehSwimGuy]

Thank you for the back pass MT.

 

[TehSwimGuy]

Donte doing good staying in front of Melo though.

 

[Krunker]

Salmons just doesn't have the size to defend Anthony, I hope Westphal gives Donte more time instead of just spot time here near the end of the 2nd

 

[KingaholicTE13]

Well... That was embarrassing!!

 

[Larry89]

some of those fouls on Carmelo were non-existent at best

Westphal has no concept of size when it comes to creating match ups.

 

[Hoovtrain]

This team is very hard to watch.

 

[TehSwimGuy]

On a side note, Adelman's T-Wolves that close with the unbeaten Heat. 103-101.

 

[teachmehowtojimmer]

This team just isn't very good. No reason to get so upset.

 

[swisshh]

boxscore says Hayes already has 10 rbs

There was some team offense with Cousins and Jimmer working together. It didn't always result in a score, but it looked better. Salmons is still a ball stopper. I may regret suggesting him at the top of the key as a possible fix.

It was funny watching Jimmer yell and coach up Westfail when Westfail tried putting him on Batum

If you don't get upset, you are not a fan.

I thought I was the only one who noticed that. Half the time Jimmer is like WTF coach.

 

[SacTownKid]

Westphal isn't the problem... this is all players....

Well I don't know what his practices look like but at least Westphal is now giving his guys the minutes to be able to figure things out. His rotations have been pretty consistent and that 2nd quarter was much better.

Was it the "what am I supposed to do?" gesture because I saw that.

I think we may have just found our new player coach

 

[teachmehowtojimmer]

Jimmer has to start at PG if this team is going to win 30+ games. Tyreke should start at the 2 and average 20-25 a game, which he obviously can. Put the team in Jimmer's hands and let Tyreke shoulder the scoring load, without having to worry about setting others up. You lose shooting with moving MT to the sixth man, but you gain it right back by having Jimmer start and play 40+ minutes.

 

[Glenn]

As to the skill level of this team, we need a great vet. We have the young skill but that isn't enough in the NBA. And then there's the coach. Maybe they'll promise to fix it all next year.

 

[KingaholicTE13]

he could be standing by himself and throw his arms in the air and the refs would call a foul on the closest King

Not sure if we lose shooting. Marcus has been stinking it up. Jimmer's shot has been pretty bad too.

 

[Kings Faithful]

There is a reason to get upset. A few years ago we were supposed to be part of the new wave of up and coming teams along with the Clippers, T-Wolves, Blazers, ect... look at us compared to those teams now... We've been crap for to long. Its time to start winning some games. I'm not saying playoffs but we can't let mediocre teams get 20 pt leads on us in the first quarter.

People don't play 40+ minutes in the NBA especially playimg 4 ganes a week. However I think this is the dierction the team is going. Jimmer still seems surprised at the speed that defenses collapse on him.
