[Game] Kings @ Heat 12/20/13 - 4:30 pm PST

[Mass]

Ok, when they said we are really missing Hayes and Salmons I turned the speakers off. Worst announcers of all time.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Up the FT percentage to .700?

B-R.com allows you to filter a range for either/both FT% and 3PT% but, as near as I can tell, it does not allow for the possibility to specifically search for games where a team's 3PT% was higher than their FT%, which is what I was trying to find out.

 

[miltonap]

Turnovers and missed free throws. Unbelievable. No discipline on this team

 

[The_Jamal]

Still can't play D!

Who woulda thunk it?

 

[The_Jamal]

In an average game, Cuz has 16 pts, 6 rbds, and 4 assists.

Unfortunately, he gave it all back to Bosh

 

[HereWeBoogie]

McLemore's one on one Defense against Wade has been nice.

Jimmer is terrible. id rather have Thornton play backup PG at this point.

our Defense still sucks

 

[Glenn]

Unfortunately, he gave it all back to Bosh

Only offense counts as with all our players. You will never catch me in an argument defending Cousins' defense.

 

[Mad D]

IT's passing is all over the place tonight

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Yay transition 3s from the point guard again!

 

[Tom Bays]

Ray Allen is killing Jimmer out there right now.

 

[dude12]

At least it's fun watching Cuz abuse a good defensive guy like Birdman.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Im going to have to question the Gameplan here (either the Coach for not implementing it or the Players for not listening to him if he did) but why the hell were they not feeding it to Cuz in the paint from the very first minute.
in a game where nobody on the other team stands a chance to guard him, how was this not established?

 

[Livinthedream]

For all of Vasquez's faults, the one thing he did was slow the game down when we needed it. Controlled tempo. Teams are scoring like crazy and we are turning the ball over at an alarming rate. The difference is having a pg who runs an offense. Or tries to.

Hard to guard a guy from the bench.

 

[Sac.Kings]

It was fun while it lasted ...

 

[upinsmoke]

It's clear this team is still nowhere near a finished product. IMO a mobile shot blocking 4 would do wonders.

There was sarcasm in the post.

This.

Good point.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

now that the game is over and its desperation time they feed Cuz every play. Hard to understand how that isn't the plan from the start

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Kings have shot 62.5 percent from the field, through three quarters. Only five times since the 1985-86 season has a team shot .625 from the field or better, and lost: http://bkref.com/tiny/PofwB

EDIT - Before the Thomas fans start foaming at the mouth, let me elaborate: it was all well, and to the good, when Thomas wasn't making the interior passes to Cousins, because other players on the floor were. What has since happened was that two of the guys who got the ball to Cousins got traded, one of them got benched, and the other only gets to play in limited minutes.

So, all of a sudden, all of the guys who were feeding Cousins the ball are no longer available to feed him the ball, which makes Thomas (who is, ostensibly, the point guard) not getting him the ball that much more noticeable.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

There was sarcasm in the post.

Not easy to tell.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Gay is now shooting .111 from three as a King.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Then your not paying attention.

"you're"

 

[dude12]

Hard to guard a guy from the bench.

It's the same defense whether he's on the floor or bench...can't stop anyone.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

That was a clean block. Miami refs doing their thing

 

[Glenn]

Cuz grabbed the rim.

 

[gman23]

Kings cannot sustained team D or team offense for long periods of time. They need to learn to slow the other team offense on D and utilize the strength on offense. Always turns to one on one play when things go bad.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Cuz grabbed the rim.

No he didn't, Birdman did. they showed a close up replay
