Garcia?

 

[HereWeBoogie]

not even Garcia, because i know he probably wont be playing much soon enough, but Brooks on the other hand continues to get big minutes

 

[Glenn]

Good. If he is going to stand outside the three point line and wait he shouldn't get the ball.

He's probably standing out there (I hadn't noticed, actually) so Brooks has plenty of room to dribble around frantically.

 

[mac]

Garcia?

Traded means the player still stays in the league.

 

[rainmaker]

I'd love to take a gander at Smart's playbook.

Think he was tired. Look again the play we just did. This time he was further towards the key but Cousins and Salmons are in the bottom corner. Salmons was behind the line this time and Cousins was up a few steps. The previous time Cousins was outside the 3. Then there was a player next to Salmons...then it was Brooks and another one of guys outside teh three on the other end. It DID look like an iso play which is just silly.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Kings are sleep walking, tripping over their own feet and in general yawning to a loss at Sleep Train Arena.

 

[spudfan]

Just look at that last sequence. Cousins starts walking to our end of the court and is the highest guy up right before TRob shoots it. He needs to be down low to get rebounds. He is being lazy.

 

[The_Jamal]

What the hell was that? We literally had all 5 guys in a straight line just above the key on that Trob jumper..

 

[HereWeBoogie]

anyone else wanna pull their hair out watching the offense the Kings run when Aaron Brooks is running the Point?

It has been like this all quarter. Their spacing and movement is terrible which is why I didn't get the Brooks talk in relation to what was going on in the game.

Brooks isn't running anything. No one is doing anything but standing around.

It's called the "We are mailing the rest of this game in, screw it" offensive set.

They can't make the Grizzlies miss this quarter, it's demoralizing to watch.

 

[The_Jamal]

Well... It was bound to take Tyreke a few games to shake the rust off

 

[HereWeBoogie]

if only we had a real coach. sigh

 

[rainmaker]

Jerry, Mem is running sets every time down the floor. Meanwhile we have no resemblance of an offense whatsover. Nothing. Not even failed plays.

 

[spudfan]

I enjoy how much the Grizzlies like Cousins. I think it's because they have Randolph and know what his attitude was like.

 

[Arkitect]

I'd love to take a gander at Smart's playbook.

I'll give you a hint. It looks like a 5 year old's coloring book.

 

[KingMilz]

Wish we had a bench player like Wayne Ellington

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I love how Smart's solution to playing the biggest team in the league is to go extra, extra small.

 

[The_Jamal]

Except, we don't want Cousins to have to go through 3 teams and be a problem everywhere he goes before he figures it out.

This team makes me sick.

must be nice to be part of a team that has an NBA caliber coach

 

[mac]

The weird thing is we've once again moved him off the ball. He's not initiating the offense - stuck in the corners or on the perimeter

 

[Glenn]

I'll bet you absolutely love it more than anything in the world. I hope the team rests up and we see Cuz and Reke play.

 

[chief bromden]

You are kidding, right? He is a career 40% shooter who can't miss against the Kings tonight.

 

[spudfan]

I love how Smart's solution to playing the biggest team in the league is to go extra, extra small.

In his mind it works. It's probably about 40% chance to do *ok* and 60% chance to be a disaster. If the midgets are all hitting their shots it works out but that happening is rare. It really is just chasing fools gold, hopefully he realizes it sometimes.

 

[KingMilz]

They enjoy him a lot more when for most the game hes been soft and they are up by 20

 

[spudfan]

This team makes me sick.

Frustrating to watch. They really are playing terrible today. They played terrible the last game too but hit some shots early so it didn't look as bad
