[Game] Kings @ Hornets, 2/24/13 - 3 PM PT

[Npliam]

2 really bad charge calls.

 

[Tetsujin]

Maybe Reke was nodding off on the bench.

They are in New Orleans, so that's not out of the question.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

It's embarrassing how much talent our team has yet we are so terrible.

True, however ... how much of that talent is being used correctly? how about almost correctly?

 

[Heuge]

That was a block.

Horrible call, it wasnt really close.

 

[Kingsnbucs1987]

Reke's not in the game.

It was on the the and 1 that Rivers got

Probably 0 lol

 

[Tetsujin]

Holy crud, MT made a shot.

 

[jpsls]

Just tuned in. Is Patterson with the team?

 

[jcunny33]

yes..on the bench.

Thats the thing. If you put our talent on just about ANY other team in the league I think we are a playoff team. But no, this is the MF'ing Maloofs left us with.

So we traded the #5 pick in this draft for a bunch of bench players, one of which may be more injured than we thought, and two more that probably won't even play that often. I get that they haven't practiced with the team yet, but do we really have any plays for them to learn? Cmon.

 

[Kings Faithful]

yes..on the bench.

Probably won't see him for the entire season.

Yes...when you get the ball shoot it quick before someone else does!

 

[D13]

That was truly the definition of ballhog going into the half.

 

[Kingsnbucs1987]

I hate our last second offense, it's literally the 1 - 4 flat, why can't Smart draw a play up, it's his job

 

[flipray]

BS 1 on 1 again. Plus Reke still doesn't know how to clock manage. Always attacking when theres like 3 sec left. So frustrating and poorly coached. What else is new with this team

We do that play all the time to close out quarters, Smart would think after seeing it not work that he would try something different

I was wondering if he even thought of passing to Jimmer who was all alone on the wing for a 3. I don't think he ever considered it.

You want to shoot with about 3 seconds left. It gives your team a chance for an offensive put back but doesn't leave enough time for the other team to get a quality shot.

Thats one of the many problems I have with Reke. Reke can look like he's the best passer on the team then suddenly goes Kobe on us and stops the ball movement. Although Kobe at least has a jumper

 

[Kings Faithful]

You know how every other team seems to sink 3's at the end of quarters on us? They pass the ball to that open guy. Every time we are in that position we get tunnel vision, and more often then not there is a train heading our way.

 

[Glenn]

I am looking forward to a new coach to see if the team changes. I guess by that I mean I want to see if we can win with the players we have.

Bad attempt/play, but the timing of it was perfect. We got a shot up, the Hornets had no shot at anything but a desperation heave. Given that there was about 2-3 seconds difference between the shot clock and game clcok, that was best case scenario. You just want your own shot to be a better one.

 

[Kingsnbucs1987]

c'mon cuz and thompson

 

[kingsnation]

Nice back to back 3's by Salmons.

You know Glenn, I think this team can win with these players or I would have quit watching a long time ago. Just waiting for new coaching.

 

[Kingsnbucs1987]

what's cuz mad at?

 

[Glenn]

jcunny33, at the begining of the year I thought they certainly would win more than 30 and perhaps hit 40. I know the coach is the main problem perhaps 2nd only to the mangled jig saw puzzle of players. I usually am optimistic until proven wrong but this team is fighting it out for the worst record in the league and that wasn't expected at all. 'Course a lot of things weren't expected this year.

Tyreke is awful in this game. He is missing all the shots he usually makes.

 

[Kingsnbucs1987]

game is teetering right now

 

[flipray]

Reke blows. Starting to lose faith in him. I'm still surprised he has no floater.
