[Game] Kings @ Dallas Game Thread 2/16/11

I think we have contested 1 of Kidds 3's. Just one. So many open looks from 3 for Dallas ... We lose shooters so easily.

Its not often that a team hits five three pointers in a quarter, let alone one player

Beno is, of course, a star defender.

 

[Tetsujin]

So after this two game stretch, I don't want anybody to claim that Tyreke doesn't mean anything to this team

A quick check suggests that Kidd's 6 of 7 from three is his career best percentage when attempting 6 or more.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Watch Beno on defense right now. He isnt even trying.

Funny thing is that in a close game, when Tyreke makes mistakes, people complain to no end. Yet, when he's not playing, and we're getting blown off the court, there are far less complaints directed at anyone else on the team. How come everyone who hammers Tyreke when he screws up, aren't hammering everyone else when we're down 20+?

 

[Tetsujin]

DeMarcus a wonderful 6-17 from the field.

 

[king07]

holy crap...it was 75-70, i go away for a little bit and come back to see 102-78..WTF

Because obviously Reke is forcing the other guys on the team to suck while he's off the court so that he looks better when he plays

Everyone and their mom hitting 3-pters is what happened

Im not one of those people, but I can complain about almost everyone if you want.

Dalembert has done nothing. Landry has been terrible. Beno's D has been pathetic. And literally no one is playing up to their ability aside from Taylor.

Donte has at least not sucked

I think there's a good arguement to be made that Tyreke actually makes those around him better, even this early in his career. I know that ould be tough for some to accept though.

 

[gunks]

Meh...Its nice to see Donte scoring in double figures again.

But for a hyper athletic 6'11 dude, he is really really bad at rebounding. Makes Landry look like Love.

 

[rainmaker]

So who would you rather have: Brian Cardinal now, or a 50 yr old Jordan? That's the crap they're talking about on the mavs broadcast.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Saved by technical difficulties!

 

[=LarryLegend=]

Gasol goes for 30pts 20rebs and Kobe shoots 24 shots for 17pts......and they lose to the Cavs by 5!! priceless.

 

[Larry89]

wow even the broadcast is bush league

 

[1Havoc3]

Comcast trying to put us fans out of our own misery and just stop showing the rest of the game

 

[Glenn]

Sounds like they are hammering things back into shape.

 

[cuad]

lol we can't even pass the ball.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

This is so suspenseful. I wonder if we're winning yet?

 

[Glenn]

Commercials are coming in just fine. Color me surprised.

Spoiler

Nope

Next up, @ Miami/Orl on back to back nights. Just gets tougher.

Looking foward to Cuz vs Howard. Dwight might humble our guy a bit in that matchup, unless he shoots lights out like he did against the Lakers.

Miami is gonna be a lolfest. Lebron and Wade will dunk all over us.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

If Reke shuts it down for the rest of the season, which would be totally reasonable if it does happen ... this team gets a lot less watchable.

two thumbs up!!!

It's not the worst idea in the world. Maybe we'll be able to catch Cleveland and have a healthier Reke for next year - hopefully.
