Kings at Clippers, 11/25/10 7:30

Here is why I think Reke is struggling so much:

1) He is hurt. Im not sure that its a major issue, but it cant be helping.

2) This team has a real spacing problem. Its not just words, its a real issue. We have been terrible all year from 3. Teams are backing off of just about EVERY one of our players. No tight coverage around the perimeter to give Evans room.

3) He isnt finishing. As much trouble as Evans has had getting to the basket, He has also had a ton of trouble finishing at the rim. He's missing alot of layups for whatever reason.

4) The jumper. Everyone wanted him to work on his jumper, and he has. He can only shoot so many times .. some jumpers, some layups were last year it was all layups.

5) No stretch the floor bigman. Say what you want about Hawes, but when he floats around the perimeter he can drag his man out of the paint. No one is going to chase Dalmbert out there.

ugh the new tmobile girl is a real step down from catherine zeta-jones.

Omri has little confidence in his one on one game. Or his one on one game is nonexistent.

That was my thinking too. Is it bad that this was my prevalent thought as I watched the 1st half?

 

[=LarryLegend=]

Kemba cant were Cousins number next year hmm....

 

[asakkings]

I watched the first half with my buddy who is seeing Evans for the first time. I had no idea how to explain to him what the "hype" was all about, even though I am the one who has been hyping him.

a little bit of both. every time he put it on the floor last year it was a guaranteed turnover, and he tried it at least twice per game.

That was my thinking too. Is it bad that this was my prevalent thought as I watched the 1st half?

lol, nah.

 

[cuad]

lol 4th foul on dalembert already...

You need to help him come back down to reality and tell him the hype isn't lived up to yet. Come back in a couple of years.

Kings must have had a hugeee Thanksgiving pre game meal.....

tyreke evans is starting to hurt the team

Thats a little extreme... 1pt 2rebs 4ast 1stl 1blk

 

[Ed2009]

I prefer Reke on the PG position..

 

[ReinadelosReys]

Ugh, we look like the team from 4 games ago Retail therapy is my medicine

 

[kingsboi]

Back to stagnant offense, nothing going on. We are back to reality on "defense".

 

[PurpleHaze]

Staples is a morgue tonight like most 2 win Clips games. Unfortunately, Kings are on the verge of being buried.

 

[Kings Faithful]

Evans has had a rough season so far... I'm not sure if he is in a funk, just really unlucky, or teams are playing good D on him now.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

It doesnt matter who we play. It doesnt matter what their record is. Everyteam we play is better than us because they are playing our team. We have no energy. We keep settling for jumpers.

We are also quite dumb. Landry had 15 first half points, has he Even touched the ball this half?

Mayb confused by to many rotations..

I honestly think at this time if teams take Tyreke out of the game Kings have no other option and easy win for them.

 

[PurpleHaze]

I prefer Reke on the PG position..

Apparently he doesn't. He told TNT he's a guard, not a PG or SG. Last season when asked he must have said a hundred times, "I'm a basketball player." Ok.

 

[ReinadelosReys]

More Pooh?

And we still watch every game no matter what

 

[cuad]

omg poohead in the game!

 

[ReinadelosReys]

On a positive note the Kings are doing a much better at stopping Griffin at the foul line after getting dunked on all of the first half!

 

[kingsboi]

Why does it seem like when somebody tries to talk to Tyreke on the sidelines or on the floor about how he can make things easier for himself, he just seems like he isn't really paying attention and just shaking his head saying "o.k.".

 

[MizzouKing]

Like others have pointed out in the past, DMC seems to be getting drawn out towards the perimeter a lot. He should be down where he's dangerous, not out in lala land setting picks. IMHO of course.

 

[kingsboi]

The Kings must be the best fouling team in the league, because they sure give em out like presents.

 

[cuad]

good play right there... open shot and two guys under the basket for an offensive rebound, but unfortunately we get a brick.

 

[Ed2009]

Was in this case simply an experiment the whole last season long..
