[Game] Kings at T'Wolves 3-20-11 12:30 PM PDT

Calipari had to get on Cuz constantly in college to keep him from jacking jumpers. As a result, Cousins stuck to the post where he is most effective.

I feel that a new coach would do wonders. Westphal junk ball = meh.

Westy is putting him in a position, where when he gets the ball, he either has to shoot the 15 footer, or face up and attack off the dribble, into help defense. Now yes, Cousins has been making some poor decisions, but Westy isn't really putting him into a position to succeed. If you're going to feed him the ball 15 ft away, at least make sure the floor is well spaced, so that when he does attack, their aren't 2 other help defenders right there waiting for him.

I don't mind Cousins getting the ball elbow extended, he can be good out there, and it utilizes his passing. But we have to mix it up. Westy just isolates him 15 ft away, instead of letting him set up in the post.

twice a game at the very least

How about once a game too?

 

[kingsboi]

JT couldn't guard a light post.

Preachin to the choir man!

Dunno who we could get out there to replace Westphal. Wish we got Thibadou (sp?), but I wouldnt be surprised if we tried and he opted to go to the Bulls instead (can you blame him?).

Ah well. I still wouldnt mind Mario Elie. During summer league he was quoted as wanting to play Cousins in the post. Better than nothing.

 

[rainmaker]

I find it odd Taylor hasn't played.

 

[nickmcclure]

donte sighting in the first half?

 

[kingsboi]

Donte isn't a very smart defender, is he?

 

[nickmcclure]

Donte isn't a very smart defender, is he?

He is when he's given significant minutes

 

[rainmaker]

What Donte just did, is small, but something Omri hasn't shown he's capable of doing. Take one or two dribbles along the baseline, and feed the open shooter in the opposite corner.

 

[kingsboi]

Nice shot Marcus. I don't know if that was on time or not, they should of showed a replay.

 

[nickmcclure]

Dear Marcus Thornton thanks for giving Kings fans something to root for during the end of this ****ty season.

 

[theclash4u5]

Sammy D is REALLY playing for that new contract lately.

 

[gunks]

Thorton is cold as ice.

I really really hope he works out with Reke.

 

[fnordius]

Take one or two dribbles along the baseline, and feed the open shooter in the opposite corner.

Donte's going to be in the doghouse now, for violating the franchise rule against passing before taking at least 20 dribbles.

 

[kingsboi]

No Love second half.

 

[est.1999]

In other news, Irving just came up huge for the Blue Devils.

 

[nickmcclure]

despite those missed ft's Dally is ballin right now!

 

[kingsboi]

Why does Cousins never get the ball?

 

[swisshh]

I think Cousins is suffering from the 'rookie wall'.

 

[kingsboi]

Cao Cousins. I don't mind that at all, but his team needs to have his back a bit more.

 

[rainmaker]

Why the hell did he get ejected for that? Double techs I can understand, but Rindour pushed up first, and Pekovic came over to him?

 

[nickmcclure]

Pretty lame Ridnour didn't get tossed too he pushed him as well.

 

[kingsboi]

What's Ridnour getting mad for? All Cousins did was set a screen. He should of decked him.

 

[gunks]

Cuz, rockin the target

 

[Agent23]

What happened?

 

[rainmaker]

He gets pushed my Rindour with two hands, then Pekovic comes and and they push eachother, then Webster comes over, and Cousins pushes him. No techs for Ridnour or Pekovic? That's rediculous. The other 4 guys sleepwalking on our team should have stepped in their quicker to.

 

[nickmcclure]

What happened?

cousins set a tough pick on ridnour, ridnour pushed him, demarcus flops a bit steps back and then pushes webster who stepped up. DeMarcus is tossed naturally. I believe there was a tech on Ridnour?

 

[Rockmeister]

I played the replay 3 times. When Luke pushed Cousins, DC should have just walked away. Pretty stupid of DC.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

What happened?

Nothing. Just some pushing .. Could have gone either way as far as the ejection goes. The fact that is was Cousins doesnt help though.

 

[nickmcclure]

Uh oh, Beasley is waking up. Damn he loves to drop points on us.
