[Game] Kings @ Clippers - 10/25/13

[VF21]

I don't care who starts. I care about who is on the court with whom. And I do not want to see Thornton and Salmons out there at the same time EVER AGAIN.

 

[jcwkings]

Nice little in and out dribble by Ben off the dribble to draw the 4th foul on Jordan. We would never have see that in Summer League, the rook showing clear improvement.

 

[jaysoonii]

I really hope MT can come back to his normal self, we really need the extra shooting

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

So basically IT brings us back in it again.

IT is THE spark off the bench - he doesn't need to start and shouldn't.

PurpleHaze got it in one. Thomas is perfectly suited for the role he's in. The problem is when people want him to have a different/bigger role, based on what he's doing in his current role. It's like some people are allergic to having a change-of-pace guard come off the bench: "IT IS PLAYING SO WELL, HE MUST START~!"

No, he must not.

I am waiting for Vasquez to have THAT GAME he has not. IT looks sharpe. So far best lineup looks like IT/McLemore/outlaw/JT/Cuz with Ppat and salmons first off bench

IT is THE spark off the bench - he doesn't need to start and shouldn't.

I'd rather not fight from 10+ points down every night if this preseason is any indication of how the regular season will go so long as Vasquez is starting at PG.

 

[jcwkings]

IT, Thornton, Mclemore, Patterson, Cousins would be an interesting lineup to try at some point, tons of floor spacing and scoring thats for sure.

 

[dude12]

I'd keep IT on the bench. He's playing well off the bench. GV was fine.....if his unit was able to shoot, then there would be no complaints but Salmons, MT and PP were not very good.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Malone has given MT plenty of time to show him something, but its just not happening. i just really don't see how you don't go with McLemore at this point. the other options are just blehhhhh

 

[The_Jamal]

Mentioned this last game. We have to consider starting IT-McLemore. Their energy and extremely aggressive nature puts defenses on edge. And while they might struggle defensively, at least we won't have to worry about them not trying. We're on game 3 of Vasqeuz-Thornton starting putting us into a double digit hole and IT-McLemore bringing us back

No, he must not.

Problem is Vasquez is playing poorly has this whole preseason

 

[randymoss1881]

because....

I would have no choice but to support but I just hate his flopping ways it's worse then wade. He flops on you then gives you dirty looks

 

[VF21]

IT looking suspiciously like a PG looking for the open man. I am cautiously optimistic. And now I'm cheering for Outlaw? Am I in Bizarro World?

 

[nickmcclure]

Thank

Who selected you?

Coach Malone haha

 

[Entity]

There it is the fn bingo crap

 

[HereWeBoogie]

So far best lineup looks like IT/McLemore/outlaw/JT/Cuz with Ppat and salmons first off bench

got to agree with that one. since Luc hasn't really been able to play much, Outlaw does look like the best SF...... sigh

 

[spudfan]

Let's see how these guys do vs Barnes and Paul and Griffin now.

Key word there is PRESEASON. Remember, he didn't get summer league or training camp because of his ankle. Give him a chance...

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

No, he must not.

Well, it's not just about IT though.

Vasquez (at least what he's shown to this point) is not even close to being suited for the current role he is in, so what then? I rather tinker around with the bench until I find a mix that works then continue to have the starting unit dig this team into a ditch at the start of every game.

If Vasquez plays better, than this is all meaningless, but I'm concerned right now.

 

[VF21]

I like Ben!

Giving up on players before they have a chance to settle into their roles is half the reason that the Kings have been in the position they've been in the past five years.

MLK jr. with his first knock down of the night

 

[Hadlowe]

I don't care who starts. I care about who is on the court with whom. And I do not want to see Thornton and Salmons out there at the same time EVER AGAIN.

That's easy enough to do. Just don't ever play Salmons again.

 

[KingMilz]

Can anyone seriously with a straight face tell me Thornton should start over Ben Mac? Outalw's lenght making a difference

 

[Entity]

Somebody show me a good argument for why McLemore should not be starting

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Ben does not look like a rookie out there

 

[nickmcclure]

I would have no choice but to support but I just hate his flopping ways it's worse then wade. He flops on you then gives you dirty looks

Yeah but if either of them dudes were on the Kings we'd be soooooooooo much better.
DMC flops too.

 

[spudfan]

MLK jr. with his first knock down of the night

What?

 

[Chubbs]

I honestly think outlaw should start. And this is the role for IT.

Mclemores shot is so sweet.

This looks like the rotation. Jimmer ain't in it.

 

[cuad]

Wow, we're spanking them.
