[Game] Kings @ Celtics - 12/2/16 - 4:30PT/7:30ET

Wonder how long its going to take for Joerger to start barnes at the 3 and Rudy at the 4 like he should be doing, probably when the seasons already lost because #Kangs

 

[Bricklayer]

Its like straight out of the playbook:

start slow, no matter who we put out there
get bombed by threes
Kosta too slow to cover the tweener man
so go to Barnes, and suddenly nobody can rebound behind Cuz

the lack of a simple stout 6'9" guy with a little mobility really causes us nightly problems. too big or too small

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Joerger still doesnt get that Cuz/Koufus doesnt work

Didn't he say, like, two weeks ago, that he'd seen enough of that?

 

[Chupacabra]

2:20 left in the 1st and boston is shooting 63% on jumpshots.

 

[LoungeLizard]

Here we go...

With that said, how are we a better shot-blocking team when we go small?

 

[kingjatt]

Man why cant we just start some of the crew that claws back for us every game? lets see what they can do without a freakin double digit deficit every game. Someone get Dave an advanced stat sheet.

 

[Larry89]

Lawson has improved quite a bit since the pre season

 

[Bricklayer]

I guess I'm going to go do something else. This team, man... This team.

 

[SLAB]

I think it would be wise to start the 2nd quarter with Cuz and Kosta playing together.

 

[kingjatt]

Love Rudy for chucking that full court heave in a contract year, no effs given about that 3 PT percentage

 

[Bricklayer]

and then here we go, again right on script.

go to the bench, get energy, fight back. Ty Lawson is scrappy and pint sized enough to stay with IT. Garret temple blows a layup.

We're actually very consistent.

 

[kingjatt]

Lawson has improved quite a bit since the pre season

No fake hustle he knows he cant finish at the rim or shoot great but goes extra hard at everything else every night and it really is contagious with the rest of that bench he has been as big a part of our comebacks as anyone else. Everyone on the forum wanted Farmer over him (including me) but its safe to say Vlade and Co. made the right move.

 

[macadocious]

Anyone having issues with the game clutching out in DIRECTV csn?

 

[kingjatt]

Oh no Temple!!!!

 

[SacTownKid]

and then here we go, again right on script.

go to the bench, get energy, fight back. Ty Lawson is scrappy and pint sized enough to stay with IT. Garret temple blows a layup.

We're actually very consistent.

For every layup he blows he creates two single stops on defense. I'd say more of that please.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Cauley-Stein giveth, and Cauley-Stein taketh away.

 

[Larry89]

I'm guessing all we need now on our team is some power forwards...

 

[SacTownKid]

Willie is lucky he didn't pick up a bunch of quick fouls. He's been out of position defensively a few times and caught contact.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I'm guessing all we need now on our team is some power forwards...

That's been the refrain for the better part of 11 years.

 

[kingjatt]

Willie is awful legit only getting PT right now because we spent a 6th overall pick on him.

 

[Larry89]

That's been the refrain for the better part of 11 years.

Well we did draft Thomas Robinson and WCS......

 

[SLAB]

Good Matt Barnes is so much fun.

 

[kingjatt]

Well we did draft Thomas Robinson and WCS......

Tired of all of these so called "safe" picks.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I am so ****ing sick of how every team in the league looks for the three-point shot as their first, second and third option. It's ugly ****ing garbage basketball.

 

[lawlman91]

digging this lineup

 

[Larry89]

Matt Barnes...... or Scottie Pippen??

 

[sactownfan]

Its like straight out of the playbook:

start slow, no matter who we put out there
get bombed by threes
Kosta too slow to cover the tweener man
so go to Barnes, and suddenly nobody can rebound behind Cuz

the lack of a simple stout 6'9" guy with a little mobility really causes us nightly problems. too big or too small

I disagree on the "no matter who we put out there".

Coach has only made one change all year. Collision over Lawson. Which minus the suspension would have been the starting lineup from the beginning... so with this horrible starting lineup we get bombed on by teams to start every game. So it's not whoever it's mostly just that starting line up

 

[kingjatt]

Rudy, do what Crowder just did to you.

 

[SLAB]

Horford's done that a few times already. Also freed a guy for three with a clearly moving screen.
