[Game] Grizzlies @ Kings - 1/7/13

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Tremendous.

 

[rainmaker]

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

He's playing SF, which makes no sense, as he was our best player pre injury as a PG/SG.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

gotta love Brooks

 

[Glenn]

I would have taken Brooks out right away. Don't like him anyway.

Well, it's not easy to run the offense when Brooks is taking 30 footers.

 

[chief bromden]

gotta love Brooks

Even the Grizzlies announcers were speechless at that shot.

 

[swisshh]

Aaron Brooks

no words

 

[spudfan]

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

From their viewpoint he isn't playing soft. They talked about the game plan was to put a big body on him while they constantly push/pull/smash him all game long. They are being extra aggressive which gives him the appearance of playing soft. He has been to the floor a lot tonight due to contact.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

so this lineup is basically saying your waiving the white flag. so why not play Honeycutt?

 

[KingMilz]

At least T-Rob didn't travel before he threw up that airball

 

[The_Jamal]

Brooks-IT-Jimmer lineup

It's finally happened.

 

[Tyndel]

Seriously:

I. THOMAS
J. JOHNSON
A. BROOKS
J. FREDETTE
T. ROBINSON

is our lineup.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

have i mentioned that Aaron Brooks needs to go?

 

[rainmaker]

Well, it's not easy to run the offense when Brooks is taking 30 footers.

Or, is Brooks taking 30 footers because we don't have an offense?

Chicken/egg. We don't really know.

 

[spudfan]

At least Fish is still playing good!

 

[mac]

He's playing SF, which makes no sense, as he was our best player pre injury as a PG/SG.

This is Keith Smart we are talking about. God forbid we don't play two of IT/Jimmer/Brooks together with him and let him have the ball

 

[KingMilz]

From their viewpoint he isn't playing soft. They talked about the game plan was to put a big body on him while they constantly push/pull/smash him all game long. They are being extra aggressive which gives him the appearance of playing soft. He has been to the floor a lot tonight due to contact.

Taking jumpshots, missed 2-3 weak lay ups which if he went strong could have easily made is playing soft

 

[lwc]

Can someone just punch Ellington?!?! J/K LOL

 

[theclash4u5]

T-Rob was such a bust of a pick. Sigh...

 

[Capt. Factorial]

If anybody other than Smart were the head coach, a Brooks-IT-Jimmer lineup would simply be a sarcastic joke. With Smart, it is a reality.

 

[Glenn]

I'm outta here. That shot by Brooks is like sticking a stake through my heart. He doesn't give a $hit.

Boogie has to be able to deal with that sort of contact and aggressiveness. It's fine and dandy if you can beat up Aaron Gray and Tyler Zeller, but the playoff teams are chalk full of big, strong, tough guys like the Grizz have.

 

[mac]

Well, it's not easy to run the offense when Brooks is taking 30 footers.

That's just it - as the coach why not put the ball in Evans' hands? The game is over, it's not like Brooks is doing a better job of running the offense.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Seriously:

I. THOMAS
J. JOHNSON
A. BROOKS
J. FREDETTE
T. ROBINSON

is our lineup.

We, almost literally, could not put a smaller lineup on the court.

 

[spudfan]

Or, is Brooks taking 30 footers because we don't have an offense?

Chicken/egg. We don't really know.

Going by the first part of the second half he was doing it tonight because we don't have an offense. Not always the case though. I am not going to hate on him tonight.

Former most improved player on the court with a bunch of 3rd string guys most likely makes him feel like he has the right to take any shot he wants now. Don't agree with him feeling like that but wouldn't be surprised if it is what's going through his head.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

We, almost literally, could not put a smaller lineup on the court.

lol unless Thornton was active i think your right

 

[PurpleHaze]

I would have taken Brooks out right away. Don't like him anyway.

That's Smart idiotic style of coaching. He rarely pulls any player out for a horrible shot, bonehead turnover, anything foolish. Doesn't want to embarrass them or hurt their poor feelings. It's all about family, even if the family is dysfunctional much of the time.

 

[The_Jamal]

T-Rob was such a bust of a pick. Sigh...

8 rebounds in 12 minutes with great defense! What a bust!

 

[theclash4u5]

Well, I guess he heard me.

 

[mac]

Problem: TRob only does this in garbage time when no one bothers fighting with him for the board
