I don't understand why they don't use artest or sar in the damm post, i thought we would use the post more often since RA left i guess i was wrong.


Artest is obsessed with shooting like Antoine Walker and SAR I dunno, didn't even notice him trying to post up. He just seemed like he was hanging out on the perimeter.
 
You said the game wasn't fun to watch and i responded it was fun to watch while they did good things on the court, like post up and have SAR do his thing or kick out to shooters. It was working, until we stopped doing this.
Yeah, when SAR and Salmons were doing their thing they looked really good.
 
Why aren't Price and Garcia getting more minutes? I thought it was pretty damn obvious that if the Kings were going to play Musselman style defense that we were going to have to play 8-9 deep. Yet the five startest have been logging serious minutes so far... They'll burn out REAL fast if this keeps up.
I'm assuming that for better or worse Musselman is playing his starters long minutes because he wants them to get used to his system and playing together. I don't imagine he will keep it up for the whole season. But I could be wrong.
 
we have shot under 40% for 3 straight games

our defense is horrible also

we looked like the nuggets from the 2000 season
Our defense looked like what our defense should look like sans Artest, that's all.

That and we had two guys that are under 7'0" face-guarding alone one of the only true centers in the league. That won't get it done.
 
there might be a silver lining here somewhere....

garcia, price, and the bench get minutes. for a while there in the 1st half, we were actually getting bench production. bench scoring was 23-1 kings.

and.. we stole one from the bulls last night.

i'm not losing sleep over this.

3 straight home openers for the opponent is just not easy. but the next game is finally OUR home opener. should be fun!

go kings! :)
I don't care if it was 3 straight home openers. We were winning and should have won. We shouldn't have beat the bulls either--that was just luck. Im pissed off that our offense sucks, our defense sucked today, artest taking so many stupid shots. We have so many problems with this team that its not looking good right now AT ALL and nobody will convince me otherwise until they start winning some games.
 
Also, I think people underestimate how much Brad Miller means to this team. They really missed him in the second half to put a body on Bogut.
 
are we realizing how valuable brad is to our team?

i love brad and i think he should be a big part of the team if we're gonna be successful, but i think we are sooooo screwed with our lack of size. without brad, we are way too small.

Well then ... why sit them tonight? It'd be a glorified practice right now.

Great minds think alike.

relax. i'm not trying to convince ANYONE. just stating my own opinion. you can agree or disagree or ignore it. i don't really care. just trying to put my 2 cents out there.

he had 9 points in the second qt when we went to him in the post and we gained the lead. Then we decided to stop doing that and jack up jumpers and we lost the lead. And Artest needs to stop jacking up shots and needs to get in the post.
 
SAR needs to start, we are so much better with him. Of course, somebody actually passing him the ball in the post could be a problem since everyone likes to shoot so much, especially Artest. This game was pathetic. For a few minutes, we actually looked like a team that actually has an offense and defense and we took over the game with this. 3rd quarter--everything falls apart.

No, not really.

Bogut is one of the only centers in this league. They tried bodying up Skinner on SAR and that didn't work. Bogut is skilled and powerful. It's a rarity. He's also very physical. Not many centers can claim that.
 
Also, I think people underestimate how much Brad Miller means to this team. They really missed him in the second half to put a body on Bogut.


Yeah when he was in we were playing good and Bogut wasn't killing us. Then we had SAR and freaking Kenny against Bogut and we got MURDERED inside. It was ugly, real real ugly.

The only reason he is so important to this team is because of his size, if we had more depth at the center spot this game would have not gotten that bad.

Problem isn't Miller wasn't in, it's that we were in a mismatch and expected KT/SAR to single cover this guy. That's not going to happen.

Big mistake. Have to double down or run a zone and zone the guy out. He's too big and bruising for SAR or KT to handle alone. But, like I've said, he's one of the few centers that play that style and are effective.

We cut Woods because he was not good. We cut Amundson because he didn't show much. We cut Williams because he simply could NOT learn the plays. Vitaly did pass the Musselman test - finally. And Miller didn't get hurt. He's got plantar fasciitis and it flares up.

Yeah, but right now we don't. So brad, even if it's just for his size means a lot. And he actually was doing pretty well tonight, too.
 
whoaa.

and boo to the lakers stat. lose already!!:mad: :p
Hard to lose when the entire team gets involved. Amazing what happens when you distribute the ball rather than play selfish one-on-one basketball.

Don't worry, with Kobe back ... it won't take long before he's taking 25 shots a night and they start to lose.
