[Game] Kings @ Heat (2/26/13)

[Glenn]

Does anyone have any questions as to why Tyreke is discouraged?

 

[Kings Faithful]

The Kings is where players come to learn to DEMAND the ball... that's why Patrick Patterson didn't even touch it on offense.. he hasn't been properly trained in the art of selfishness.

 

[flipray]

He went out with 3+ minutes in the first. Almost sitting a whole quarter.

That'll totally help with Reke's momentum. Hate it so much.

 

[kingsnation]

It wasn't "flexible" enough for you?

Heh, well, it was as "flexible" as an anchor.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Icing Reke for the playoffs

He went out with 3+ minutes in the first. Almost sitting a whole quarter.

Edit: you're effing kidding me - John before Tyreke???

Don't worry; Smart'll play him the whole second half, without a break, and people will be like, "What are you talking about? Evans played 30 minutes!"

 

[LWP777]

Paging Coach Dumb: You can put Reke and DMC in now!

 

[Kings Faithful]

Lol, James and Bosh back in... No Tyreke or Cousins for an entire quarter. Smart trying his hardest for the second quarter sabotage. Thank god our bench is responding.

 

[kingsnation]

Great ball movement there.

 

[rainmaker]

Don't worry; Smart'll play him the whole second half, without a break, and people will be like, "What are you talking about? Evans played 30 minutes!"

Smart hasn't done that in about a month though. He's mostly just been a f'ing idiot.

 

[flipray]

Hey we actually have the lead. Smart might ride this lineup until we lose the lead and be down by 20

 

[LWP777]

MT is so much better when he actually moves without the ball.

 

[Kings Faithful]

Wow, how many freaking times to refs change the calls for the opposing team when they complain. That would never happen for us.

Smart hasn't done that in about a month though. He's mostly just been a f'ing idiot.

The other night in Atlanta, Reke played 18 straight minutes in the second half.

 

[Kings Faithful]

Thorton playing like a beast.

 

[flipray]

Thornton acting like the 6th man we all want him to be.

 

[LWP777]

Wow, how many freaking times to refs change the calls for the opposing team when they complain. That would never happen for us.

The interesting side note to that was the older ref (Salvatore) pushed the younger ref when he came in to give him help. Sort of like "Yeah, whatever. 2 shots" and then he pushed him. I found that kind of odd.

 

[Glenn]

Tyreke was playing like a beast.

 

[LWP777]

Thornton acting like the 6th man we all want him to be.

Yep, it just took 60 games for it to happen!

 

[rainmaker]

The other night in Atlanta, Reke played 18 straight minutes in the second half.

Exactly my point. Sat him during crunch time. If my memory is correct, he's only played Reke all 24 2nd half mins twice this season. The large majority Reke is sat similar to how he is in the 1st half, which is long enough to get a mani and pedi.

The other night in Atlanta, Reke played 18 straight minutes in the second half.

I was looking up bill russels season averages earlier today. He averaged 45 minutes a game at one point, and 48 minutes in a 1962 16 game championship run.

 

[flipray]

Well this lineup is playing decent defense, either that or the Heat are toying with us

 

[LWP777]

Okay, now would be a good time to bring the starters back in....otherwise we will be down 7-10 at halftime

 

[Glenn]

Wilt averaged more than 48 minutes one year because of OTs.

 

[Kings Faithful]

Okay, now would be a good time to bring the starters back in....otherwise we will be down 7-10 at halftime

IT and Thompson what you were thinking?

 

[LWP777]

IT and Thompson what you were thinking?

Nope!

 

[LWP777]

I gotta give credit where credit is due though....our scrubs are playing well tonight.

Scrubs playing great. Maybe we should just leave Reke and DMC on the bench

 

[Fear the Putin]

trap game for miami?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Well, in the first place, the regular season was shorter. And, in the second place, the playoffs were a lot shorter. You may want to review and revise your estimation of how many playoff games he played that year.

 

[kingsnation]

Exactly my point. Sat him during crunch time. If my memory is correct, he's only played Reke all 24 2nd half mins twice this season. The large majority Reke is sat similar to how he is in the 1st half, which is long enough to get a mani and pedi.

Gotcha. I want to see something along the lines of Reke playing 10-12 minutes in the second half, resting and coming back at about the 9-10 minute mark in the 4th. Of course, depending on the situation and the game.
