[Game] Kings @ Grizzles, 1/18/13, 5:00 Pacific

[spudfan]

That was a bad last couple of possessions. Two forced garbage shots.

 

[Tetsujin]

Jimmer is probably a better defender than IT at this point. Hell, maybe I am.

 

[c-webb1s#1]

Isiah has a really bad habit of trying to always be the hero

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

I'm almost done with Isaiah Thomas.

 

[mac]

At this point I don't think IT is even trying to pass the ball anymore

 

[Tetsujin]

IT somehow has 5 assists, which will probably prompt his strident defenders to continue saying he's a great passer.

 

[Bibbilicious]

At this point I don't think IT is even trying to pass the ball anymore

That career high game was bad for his head.

 

[Kings Faithful]

IT - F-
Tyreke - F
Salmons - D-
JT - F
Cousins - B+
Jimmer - F
Outlaw - A
Thornton - F
T-Rob - D

Great team effort.

 

[Tetsujin]

So no Reke or Cuz. What a surprise.

 

[spudfan]

"you see...when cousins got his 5th foul i said to myself...i gotta keep this guy fresh! We gotta make sure he is able to play the last 2 minutes!"
-keith smart

Gotta save him for the last minute!!!

 

[Tetsujin]

Hmm. Hollins put his best player back in. Would be nice if Smart had done the same.

 

[Kings Faithful]

This game was winnable. And we ****ed it up in the worst way.

 

[Tetsujin]

Great freaking defense IT.

 

[c-webb1s#1]

Isiah my man....why do you always leave your man WIDE open!?

 

[Kings Faithful]

IT padding his stats so no one can blame him.

 

[LWP777]

Lol! Great game!

 

[Tetsujin]

IT took the second most shots on our team this game. Why?

 

[The_Jamal]

Hmm. Hollins put his best player back in. Would be nice if Smart had done the same.

Hollins is a great coach. Conley, Allen, Gay, and Gasol all have 35+ minutes when this game was over 6-7 minutes ago. He shoves it down your throat and makes sure the other team doesn't make a run. Which is what every great coach should do

 

[HereWeBoogie]

lol at Cousins on the bench. wtf

 

[jcwkings]

This game was so ugly, yet the Grizzlies were doing everything to let us steal it. Our offense is just too predictable, with constant iso's of every player in the roster. Run some pick and rolls, back cuts, screens, anything other than giving it to one guy with 4 others standing like statues. jesus christ

 

[rainmaker]

IT took the second most shots on our team this game. Why?

Because that's how pure PG's get down.

 

[spudfan]

LOL! Did you see him try to go for the steal at the end. I despise when players do that.

Every time we scored 2 baskets in a row he called a time out to cool us off, and it worked every time. Smart waits until we are down 10 points and then leaves the same lineup in the game so they can keep going...

 

[Tetsujin]

Because that's how pure PG's get down.

If it weren't for the rest of the team, IT would be the best PG in the league.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

lets be happy with a Loss. if we won this game it would take the heat off of Keith for this awful coaching performance

One of our starters was over 31 minutes... four of theirs were over 36.

Hopefully tonight's stinkers is bad enough to force Petrie to fire him.

[PurpleHaze]

Horrible performance by Kings. 9 ASSists for entire game - results in shooting 34%. Just 69 pts scored by far lowest of season by Kings.

 

[Kings Faithful]

I'm so excited for the new ownership group if the Maloofs sell locally. I firmly believe it will start another golden era in Sacramento...

 

[The_Jamal]

You know your team played a terrible game when Travis Outlaw and John Salmons were by far the 2nd and 3rd best players on the floor for us
