Kings @ Clippers Game Thread

Skinner/Miller was an awesome combo! This unit is soooo much more balanced. Using Miller for his talents instead of as a roleplayer.

Miller threw that one dunk DOWN BIG TIME on Brand. It was gross!

good news - up 15

bad news - there is another half

I think it comes down to speed and athleticism. WIth SAR and Peja on the court we are a slower, more deliberate team. This team can get up and down the court, can board, and can keep their guys in front of them. They also dive on the floor and hustle after loose balls.

Good news - There is some some of balance with the personnel on our team.

i am in shock we lose to the blazers but could somehow beat the clippers

we've beaten the clippers nine straight times.

 

[Kings241]

haha we really showed those First Place in our Division Clippers who we really are, now lets continue the effort in the 2nd half and win the game!!! Players that I enjoyed watching were Kevin Martin with his outside shots, Mike Bibby pushing the ball, Brad Miller not hesitating to take his wide open jumpers, and I liked the overall effort. Only flaw so far is turnovers, but we sure did outrebound the other team.

Miller/Reef = bad combo

Miller/roleplayer = good combo

Reef/roleplayer = good combo

Hopefully Adelman learns from this and figures out a rotation that can be somewhat near the speed and athleticism shown tonight.

Amazing what adding the right mixture of players can do. We have rebounding/athleticism/shotblocking/toughness. Lets hope they keep it up!

I am just telling myself to not get too excited yet. I am impressed with their first half play.

 

[Kingsgurl]

be positive guys, as long as the Mobley keeps taking and missing jumpers like that we have a legit chance of winning this game

Mobley is missing jumpers because Kevin is in his grill (if you made me jinx this whole thing, I am going to hunt you down and kill you)

Like I said, we could get blown out from here on. But I like many things I've seen tonight. Much can be learned from this first half alone.

I have been impressed with Kevins D all year and he is doing a great job indeed! What about Jason Hart on E.T., he did a fantastic job too.

Keep it up guys!!!

i wish i was able to watch the game!!!!! but from everybody's commentary on what's going on, it sounds like everything's been good...in the first half. i just hope they keep it up in the second! i wish i could've seen brad's dunk. and kevin's defense on cat.

 

[ONEZERO]

I never thought I'd see the day that clipper broadcasters were AMAZED and confused at why the KINGS were beating their team... Hahaha

 

[nebs]

Wow, lol, who saw that first half coming?

 

[thenbakings]

Can this be true what I am seeing?

 

[BigWaxer]

A surprising first half.

Some nice halftime stats.

Bibby - 8 assists (so thats what happens when the people you pass to actually hit their shots)

Martin - 13 pts (2-2 3pt land)

Miller - 16 pts.

I still wanna see Sampson just to see him play

 

[bibbinator]

^
I did. When Peja doesn't play we're a lot better.

The team fights harder when Peja doesn't play.

I'm not a Peja hater, it's just the pattern I've observed.

 

[thenbakings]

Maybe the bench should be starting and the starters should be coming off the bench.

 

[piksi]

Most definitely and since Pedja has missed so many games this season our record is 10 -17. Yeah right !

 

[Kings241]

After seeing this game I wouldnt mind seeing Kenny Thomas starting and Shareef comming off the bench

 

[HndsmCelt]

Dam what a night to be in exile!

 

[loopymitch]

i just woke up and checked the score, have I been drinking or are the Clippers?

 

[piksi]

shots are not falling anymore

 

[ShatteredVision]

The Kings should play more away from Arco...

 

[vj9999]

Nice play Bibby!!!

 

[Kings241]

Mike Bibby looks like Steve Nash out there with 10 assists and 18 points!!!!

 

[piksi]

Somebody put an oxygen bottle for Mike and Brad on the bench

We need a big lead before Corliss comes back
