[Game] Game thread: Kings@Jazz, 1/28

[rainmaker]

it's insanely hard waking up early in the morning when the kings have home games, seeing that they start at 10 or 10:30 eastern time but it's well worth it, win or lose

DimeDropper watches all these live from Ireland. Tips off at 3am for him sometimes.

thank you jimmer

I wish they had some sort of Kings poll: Which player should be benched forever? I think the fans' response would be 100% John Salmons. Can't understand what the coaches or anyone see in him.

Unfortunately, there has to be a reason he's on the team that we're just not aware of. It's no secret to management or anyone else that a lot of fans are very upset with Salmons lack of contributions to the game. Hopefully, once Thornton and Hayes are back we'll see the formation of a solid core of players that won't include said fish.

JIMMER!!!

 

[Sac.Kings]

Come on Evans you were wide open...

 

[cuad]

I was about to make fun of Jimmers finishing ability but he's doing just about as good as Tyreke right now. As I say that Evans makes a lay up...

Chuck is back. He just threw the nicest pass I've seen in weeks to Garcia.

 

[VF21]

I'm an hour or two from you. I think.

Oops. My bad. You mean "Concord" here and not Concord, NH?

 

[VF21]

Okay, not a bad first quarter...especially since it ended with Salmons on the bench.

 

[jalfa]

and that is the reason you start you move with ~7 seconds on the clock, not 5.

 

[rainmaker]

Yep. Drive up to games all the time.

I know that was late, but it was nice seeing a play run and the ball moved for the last shot of a period. To date it's always been Thornton or Tyreke just going 1 on 1 and hoisting up a contested shot

 

[ArcoKings]

Let's go Kings... clap... clap

 

[VF21]

Let's go Kings... stomp... stomp

 

[Sac.Kings]

I find it odd that our assists as a team have went up.. while Thornton has been injured. I just realized that for some reason

 

[Mass]

I really can't understand why Evans always starts the last play with 4 seconds to go. Start with 7 or 8 please!!! We can't even get a shot this way! Is it so hard to understand? He does the same thing every game. I really don't get it.

 

[nickmcclure]

Tyreke is moving the ball really well and props to DMC for drawing that charge earlier.

 

[ArcoKings]

Nice.

 

[cuad]

Jimmer always hesitates when he has a good shot but never when it's a terrible one.

 

[sactownfan]

Omg we need a frick'n pg!!!!!!!! And a shotblocker!!!!

 

[rainmaker]

Why isn't Donte in at the 3? What did Cisco do to jump him in the rotation? Or is it because Smart only see's Donte as a 4, and Hayes just took his minutes?

 

[VF21]

Wow. What insight. I'm surprised no one else has mentioned that before.


























Just had to yank your chain or you wouldn't know it was really me.

 

[mac]

Wow Chuck Hayes is ... dang. We've been missing him. Maybe not as much as Dalembert, but still missed him

 

[LoungeLizard]

Real good to see Chuck back out there.

 

[annihilator_33]

i agree, it's great to see him back out on the floor

 

[cuad]

I forgot that Tyler Honeycutt is still with the team. I hope he gets some minutes.

Cisco is ALWAYS ready, he always gives 100% and he never complains. He deserves some minutes. Just my two cents, and not really an answer to why Donte isn't playing. More just an admission that no matter how crazy Cisco makes me, I cannot fault his loyalty, team play, etc.

 

[Glenn]

I think I see an actual offense being run.

 

[ReinadelosReys]

Wait. So basically Kings Faithful and I are the only ones from the West Coast participating in this thread? I applaud the dedication of all the rest of you. Seriously.

I'm here!

Jimmer looks overwhelmed. Understandable.

It's not him on the court I mind, it's playing two sg's in he and Salmons at sf. Much rather have Cisco come in as a backup 2 instead of us always being undersized at that position.
