Don't Make Me Use The Bat
Complete sucktatude. Got no ray of sunshine on this one.
Barring a 20pt turnaround in the 4th quarter, there will be girls.
Theme = Pretty Girls, Because This is Damn Depressing version
Alright, as this was a depressing game, I think I'm going to keep these (relatively) short, pithy, and girly.
Greene ( B ) -- nice start knocking down a baseline jumper from Reke, and while he was never great, on this sad night he was as good as anybody we had. Defensive energy was not as high as the night before, and Kirilenko was able to get free occasionally, but he was still givng an honest effort. Once aagin missed all his threes, and the whole team should be taking 100 of those things after every practice from now on. Some of them were wide open looks too. we just gotta knock those down. Still made some athletic plays, including a big alley oop from Reke behind 4 Jazz. Racked up fouls on hustle plays in the early 3rd (thx to some bad calls as well), and by thetime he returned the game was effectively over.
Katheryn Winnick -- see that pretty face guys? Assuming you actually ever did summon up the courage to approach it, make sure you do so kindly, gently, and with respect. No "If I told you you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?" pickup lines...unless of course you relish the idea of drinking out of a straw. You see, Ms. Winnick holds a thrid degree blackbelt in tae kwan do (and won a silver medal at the Candian Tae Kwan Do Nationals), a second degree blackbelt in karate, and when not acting is a licensed bodyguard. In other words at 5'6" and maybe a buck twenty soaking wet, she could kick your *** and make you enjoy it.
Landry ( C- ) -- we basically played one decent quarter in this one, completely collapsed in the 2nd and 3rd, and then won the garbagetime. Pretty much everything that Carl did well he did well in that first quarter, as he attacked Milsap aggressively, then started knocking down jumpers. But even when he was doing fairly well, it was shaky. He was doing a terrible job sealing Milsap and protecting the ball, and combined with soft entry passes almsot every post feed was an adventure and getting tipped or knocked away. Then he was turning into double teams, getting the ball stripped, and generally being anything but confidence inspiring. Worst of all once again Carl just simply got outmuscled in there, this time by a guy only slightly larger than he is, and on multiple occasions simply had the ball ripped out of his hands as he was bounced out of positon for boards. I'm holding this grade up for the early offense in relatively limited minutes, but it was another underpowered effort from our PF.

Dalembert ( B- ) -- not as big an impact as his best games, but still one of our most solid pieces on the night. Was on the glass early, interfering with Milsap in there and guarding Jefferson well inside, but did get a few jumpers hit over him. Of course his own offense remains jsut non existent. With the damn bench again letting everything crumble, he was brought back in the mid 2nd to restore some defensive order. On probably the most fun sequence of the night for Kings fans he and Donte came up with back to back blocks on the same possession to squelch the Jazz inside and give us back possession. As things fell apart got called for goaltending after blocking Deron from behind ont eh break, and there wasn't anythign remotely goaltending about it. Lost control of Jefferson in the early 3rd keeping us form making a move -- when even our few guy holding their own started getting beat, it was over.
Jennifer Hill -- a bit of a cheeky shot of this Toronto area model, but I had a limited shots to choose from.
Head ( C ) -- okay, the positive: Luther Head, erstwhile scrub, did it again, at least for spells, on defense. Devin Harris, CP3, adn now his old college temmate Deron Williams back to back to back -- and do you know how few good defending PGs there are in this league? So that was the good. Was having a harder time containing Deron's penetration than CP3s, but generally made it hard and once again held down one of the league's best. Even joined our block party and blocked Deron down inside. Now we go down to the other end of the court for the bad. Do not know if it was overexcitement about competing against his old teammate at Illinois or just pani as things began to fall apart for us, but all that surprising poise Luther has been showing the last few games jsut went right out the window. Dumb dumb decisions, and lots of them. Forcing terrible shots into crowds, tryign to draw ridiculous fouls, and simply refusing to just catch and shoot the damn ball even when set up perfectly. instead going through that incredibly ugly upfake pantomine, jab stepping, waitng, dribling a couple fo times pointlessly, and then chcuking up the shot he should have shot earlier, except now wiht his defender draped all over him. Just makes no sense. So...thsi just felt like a C. Holding down Deron Williams shoudl trump offensive ugliness, but it just didn't feel that way. When things started falling apart Luther lost his poise and accelerated the collapse.
