Kings @ Blazers Game Thread

[LWP777]

The Blazers don't look that special. This game is winnable.

Why is hawes leaving Pryz ?

 

[LWP777]

Why does every team shoot the lights out from 3 point range against us?

The entire Portland team isn't the problem. Our major problem will be Joel Pryzbilla... I think most of his career highs have come against the Kings.

Having said that, I expect our young team to settle down and adjust and make this a closer game than it might look right now...

He is AWFUL.

 

[Nighthawk1]

hawes making things more difficult for himself like usua...

Because we gamble too much and double when we don't have to leaving shooters wide open. Our defense is hard to watch.

I agree VF. It's just so frustrating because we aren't outmatched against these guys. They just play smarter than we do.

tyreke needs to be in attack mode..

Maybe Kevin Martin will come back and we'll play better defense.

 

[casspion]

Hawes looks like crap.
Does he even care?

 

[rainmaker]

Joel dunks twice and Spencer responds by flipping up that soft crap??

 

[Sluggah]

i'm kinda over nocioni. i'd rather casspi start. nocioni is going the way of brad miller. maybe he had heart and hustle at some point...but he's not doing the little things he used to.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Also, I think its time to move Nocioni to the bench in favor for Casspi. Casspi is a better athlete, shooter, and playmaker ... Fits with our starting 5 better than Noc IMO.

 

[LWP777]

How is that traveling?

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Dammit. Evans with two fouls.

 

[NewArena]

This zone has got to be the dumbest thing i have seen in a LONG time. WTF????

 

[Nikefutbolero]

why does it seem that our defensive rotations are always too slow?

Yes, he cares. If you think he's not more frustrated than any of the fans sitting at home and watching, you're sadly mistaken.

Now a general note: As far as the criticism of him goes, posters are free to be critical of him and his game. But, just so everyone knows, if it's just name-calling or bashing, it doesn't belong here.

 

[Nighthawk1]

Brockman and Casspi in

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

That might have been the first really bad shot I've seen Beno take this year.

 

[LWP777]

Dammit. Evans with two fouls.

The box score only shows him with one foul. Nevermind. 2 fouls.

I'm sure he is frustrated, and he should be. That's what he gets for missing summer league thinking he was an all star.

 

[LWP777]

Wow. Nice Beno!

 

[LWP777]

Beno's shooting percentages are unreal.

 

[Merdiesel]

Steve Blake looks exactly like the kid from the movie Gummo.

 

[VF21]

I'm sure he is frustrated, and he should be. That's what he gets for missing summer league thinking he was an all star.

Whatever his thought process for skipping summer league, it's pretty much irrelevant at this point, seeing how it's December.

 

[mac]

Why do we have an open guy on every defensive possession?

 

[NewArena]

Juwan Howard looks at least 70 years old.

How is it irrelevant? It's the exact opposite. You always say that their kids and they're still developing. Him thinking he could take time off is one of the reasons he's playing the way his is today, in DECEMBER.
