rock solid defense from the kings!

 

[DeMoN]

Man i really want to see Donte just stuff one, been waiting all damn season long.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Dalembert is a scary bad offensive player.

 

[Kings Faithful]

Lay his *** to the floor beno! NO WEAK SAUCE FOULS.

He had a pretty good breakaway slam against the nets a few days ago.

 

[Andre87]

Demarcus needs to work on his offense - his shots selection is pretty terrible

I mean more of one in the half court. He looks like he has almost had a couple, but he either gets blocks or tries for the layup/foul half way through

 

[D13]

Seriously..... nobody saw Ariza camped out there? JT? WTH?

 

[Tyndel]

Hmmm are we starting to gain an identity?

 

[bajaden]

I'm sitting there watching Paul dribble the ball and Ariza is standing in the right corner and no one is guarding him. So asked myself, self, why is no one guarding Ariza? Hopefully Westphal will ask the same question.

 

[Andre87]

Arent we the worst offensive team in the league

I'm sure he never works on it. He probably just sits around and eats fritto's and drinks beer. Wait, he's only 20. Scratch that!

Tied at 39 against a 10-1 team. I'll take it. Could have been much better obviously, but hey, we are who we are. Our players are trying hard, and playing good defense. Thats all I can ask for.


As far as coaching .. I still dont understand alot of our offense. I still dont understand why our offense at the start of the game seems to focus around Head and Dalembert.

Dalembert is having a rough go tonight on offense. Only two turnovers, but his shots are basically turnovers. I dont know why we ever pass him the ball to be honest. He has shown the ability to pass, but he holds the ball for too long and his touch is... not very good.

Great defense though!

For points and FG%, we're somewhat below par, but nowhere near the worst. Our 3-point % is the worst (29.7%).

We are the worst for (FG%) defense, although Phoenix is challenging us lately.

Cisco or JT, somebody f'd up badly there. He was open so long Coachie could have hobbled on out there and guarded him, and Cisco in particular appeared to know he was back there and not want to go cover him for some reason.

You wouldn't know it from this game

I remember reading prior to the season a little article about how Kings FO wanted Dally to focus on offense. At the time I wanted to write it off as a rumor or some kind of joke...

...sigh

If we keep holding teams to 30% shooting halves we might be abel to correct that last stat fairly quickly.

 

[gunks]

For real, where did this stiffling D come from?

Are Donte and Head really that good that they've transformed our entire team by being inserted into the starting lineup?

Our O still sucks though. If we continue playing defense like this we could very well be the team with the ugliest games in the NBA (but if it comes with more Ws I'll take it!)

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Pretty sure I just heard JR say "Smack the weak sh!t out of there" before quickly correcting himself.

 

[Andre87]

Donte has been by far and the best player for us so far.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

I dont like the body language of our team right now. Cant put my finger on it, but its not the same as it was before.

 

[gunks]

When did Greene become a monster rebounder?

Before as in earlier in the game?

 

[DeMoN]

Oh man when Donte's 3's start dropping like they should be, he may be scoring 15 ppg in the future.

 

[Kings Faithful]

It didn't quite come out, but im pretty sure it was going too... haha.

 

[HighFlyingMonkey]

Need to keep up the intensity. They're getting caught in transition.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Must be the 'extra' weight.

 

[gunks]

Yeah, D looks like its fallen off, Hornets just arnt making shots

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Yea, the first quarter. Looks like we are quitting on some plays right now.
