[Game] Kings @ Grizzlies, 1/17/14 5 PM PST/ 8 PM EST

I'm glad IT took that last shot before half........not.

 

[Glenn]

I wonder if Jimmer had played 20 minutes if he could have scored more than 3 points.......

Don't know but Jimmer wasn't looking good either. It's like we have no pgs at the moment. I'm sure IT will shoot himself back into the game.

 

[Toasty]

IT's got to understand the proving stuff is over. Your good dude, stop worry about Conley.

 

[Toasty]

I think jimmer's got the yanks again. Worrying about getting pulled.

 

[jcwkings]

This is the kind of game I expected, Grizzlies are a tough defensive team, especially with Gasol back. We will have to earn this one. If two of our big 3 can get hot, we can win this. Hopefully Gasol gets tired because he makes a huge difference for them.

3 points in 20 minutes

 

[rainmaker]

2-10 from our PG's while Conley is 4-8 with a game high 11 and Calathes(actually a SG with a severe balding problem who played backup point) is 3-4.

 

[Glenn]

3 points in 20 minutes

You aren't following what I am saying. He will take enough shots to get his points in the second half..

 

[cuad]

They played that first half like they hate each other.

Maybe, but Conley would have lit us up for 20, and he would have had 3 or 4 turnovers due to ball pressure.

 

[lwc]

Kings have to move the ball. Period.

 

[Glenn]

We need some help from Gay.

  It is funny... If Malone even sniffs a starting pg Jimmer gets pulled. That isn't good for the team.

Bull crap.

Do you think Conley can guard him hard like the 40 year old dude was guarding him all over the court for 20 minutes? No one has that much energy and even if he could attack jimmer that hard on D his offense would suffer.

 

[rainmaker]

It'd be nice if this half we don't use Boogie as a floor spreading, spot up shooter.

I don't know who's responsible for that but I'd love a word with them.

 

[Uncia03]

We can all agree that it was an ugly half of basketball for the Kings.
The Grizzlies are partially responsible for that since they are a good defensive team.

But I didn't see anything out there that says we can't come out in the 2nd half and win this game.
Rudy can play at a much higher level and it didn't look as if the Grizzlies really have an answer for Cousins.

We'll see...

Been happening a lot of late. it is damaging my calm.

 

[Toasty]

Hinrich is a nice defender. Just saw some nice d on wall.

I am not sure if that is a Boogie thing or a coaching thing.

What????????

 

[Uncia03]

Great to see Cousins in the post right off the bat.

 

[spudfan]

I am not sure if that is a Boogie thing or a coaching thing.

I think it's a coaching thing. Boogie can play better from the high post than IT can get the ball into the low post so...

It might be an energy thing. It is hard to post up every play. It is much easier to shoot a jumper.

 

[spudfan]

I like Marc, him and Cousins with some after the whistle play but both of them just laughing. Most NBA guys get mad at that.

 

[Toasty]

What????????

Sorry it's halftime. Watching the bulls game. Heinrich is a tough defender and would be good for this team IMO.

 

[cuad]

C'mon, inbound to JT.

 

[spudfan]

I doubt it's an energy thing. Cousins is setting a pick for IT almost every play, it's hard to set the pick and then have enough time to post up + leave an out if you get doubled.

 

[kingnunz]

Conley gets through screens like no other

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Thomas has been blah again

 

[cuad]

wooo, this game is still ugly. Though they appear to have settled down just a tiny bit.
