[Game] Grizzlies @ Kings - 11/3/15 - 7 PST, 10 EST

[VF21]

I miss Beno. And I hate thinking that getting Doug Christie, Bobby Jackson, Peja Stojakovic, Vlade Divac and Kayte Christensen onto the court might have been better than what we saw tonight.

 

[Sluggah]

I much prefer players who are fighting to be on the floor. We should have put them in after 3.

 

[Merdiesel]

Ben was ****ing terrible today, but why doesn't anyone say anything about Casspi? What about Rudy? What about Rondo? What about WCS? What about Kofus?


It's turning into a "I told you so!" thing because NO ONE has been defending Ben in this thread...except for maybe 1 person if even.

Pretty much everyone else on this team has shown that they can contribute to the team. Ben hasn't done ****.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

OUR ****ING ALL STAR CENTRE IS PLAYING OUTSIDE IN AND WE'RE NOW AN AVERAGE JUMP SHOOTING TEAM

this is by far the most troubling situation i've seen

 

[sdballer]

Nice job Seth

 

[k_dubb90]

Ben is still lost at this point it wouldn't hurt to see Anderson take his starting spot

 

[Entity]

Apparently Seth should be starter. Can he play SG?

 

[rainmaker]

I'm still not a DC fan and wouldn't mind at all to see Curry get a shot at backup point.

 

[Entity]

Hey Ben didn't go scoreless he got a dunk with 4 seconds left

 

[sdballer]

I'm still not a DC fan and wouldn't mind at all to see Curry get a shot at backup point.

Seriously? Like, bench DC?

 

[VF21]

Well, that was 2 1/2 hours of my life I'll never get back...

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I agree with you and slim as far as the whole team thing. But he is the starting SG with the number 1 man out for tonight. 0 points is inexcusable. It just is now the rest sucked as well.

He's played like wet ass, no doubt about it. It obviously stands out even more when Cousins isn't there to hide his bad offense. I'm just saying that this isn't the game that I would launch my 'DIE MCLEMORE DIE" campaign.

A fair case could be made that we could have won the two games against the Clippers if we'd gotten anything from him. Anybody trying to bring that tonight has an agenda.

 

[rexb_kings]

We need a coach that knows how to push the right buttons at the right place and right time. Sigh..

The garbage unit played a lot better, seriously. Lol.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Hey Ben didn't go scoreless he got a dunk with 4 seconds left

He's always been garbage man all-star for his entire NBA career so far.

Vlade will give Karl a chance because he has to. This is the mess we are in. But its a complete joke. Those shakey foundations are getting built on again. They'll crumble soon. Thibs is there waiting in the wings. Yeah we may not have the most efficient Rondo if we bring him in but screw it. Bring in Thibs, a rich mans malone and get back to a style and system that worked amazing for us last year.

yes, they all were ***ing terrible, except Ben's been consistent at it.

I think it's reasonable to give a team with 5+ new significant pieces more than 4 games to figure things out.

 

[gunks]

****ING RIDICULOUS. KARL WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO KEEP YOU BUT FOR ****S SAKE YOU NEED TO DO BETTER WITH THIS BUNCH.

OUR ****ING ALL STAR CENTRE IS PLAYING OUTSIDE IN AND WE'RE NOW AN AVERAGE JUMP SHOOTING TEAM

WE'RE PLAYING ****ING SMALL BALL WITHOUT THE PERSONEL

WE ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE. GETTING BLOWN OUT BY A TEAM THAT HAS **** ALL ON US

GAHHHHHHHH WHY US. WHY DO WE HAVE TO SUFFER SO MUCH.

Tell us how you really feel!

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Apparently Seth should be starter. Can he play SG?

Well we know he can shoot and he cant possibly play worse defense than Ben soooooooo why not?

 

[ElRey]

wow ugly game to watch...whole team didn't play well. I've seen enough of Ben to know that he won't be contributing anything this season. He looks completely lost out there. complete zero basketball IQ. Can't even make open jump shots. I'm ready to give Anderson some minutes.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

yes, they all were ***ing terrible, except Ben's been consistent at it.

He appears to have company in that regard.

No agenda here I thought Ben would be ready this year. I thought he would be a 15 pt scorer for us. I went to bat for him last few games with no chances to score. But tonight? That excuse is out the window now. Something has to happen I don't know what but it can't continue like this and be successful. Thing is I know he CAN do it. He has the tools. Just don't know the why. Has to be coaching right?

 

[Livinthedream]

So... we're all in agreement that everybody on the team stunk the joint out tonight, right? I'm not going to see, like, seventy posts in the [Grades] thread of people acting like this is all one player's fault, right?

Wait, who am I kidding? Of course I am.

You predicted it.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Will this team ever play defense?

 

[Sac.1989]

I think it's reasonable to give a team with 5+ new significant pieces more than 4 games to figure things out.

yeah you're right. I need to remind myself of this. I just dont relate as well to this whole jumpshooting outside in game we look like we are trying to play. The W's justify it but i dont think its the best use of our resources given how we are constructed currently and it shouldnt be about changing that makeup but about getting the most of what we have which on paper is a solid team.

I never really expected him to be ready; I just looked at the rest of the roster, and said to myself, "There ain't no way he's gonna start that guy..."

 

[rainmaker]

Seriously? Like, bench DC?

Eh, I'd like to see him get a serious 6 min 2nd quarter stretch. See what he's got.

 

[kingsboi]

Will this team ever play defense?

With Vivek and Karl at the helm? highly unlikely...

 

[sdballer]

I try not to get too up or down with any one game. This was a bad loss but we are going to have those. My concerns are around defensive intensity and more so, the forced style of play that still may not take advantage of our talent

 

[Entity]

The pace and speed isn't working it already has our superstar injured. Let's try something else
