[Game] Kings @ Jazz 3/30/12

[The Hammer]

Well when your coach is coming out of the locker room drawing up plays to iso you.....

oh right.... cause we need to "get him going" right? unbeleivable. these guys are not on the same page. if they are... I don't like the page they're on.

 

[rainmaker]

Of course JT goes out and not Outlaw. I can't stand this style of basketball, just pathetic.

These sub patterns really should put to rest Smart is forced to go small, as some continue to say. A lot of it is completely BY CHOICE.

 

[The Hammer]

Cousins playing out of his mind.

Oh but it's 20 pts on 17 shots so he's really not very efficient.

 

[kingjatt]

what is outlaws shooting percentage on the year?

We'll see what happens. Its entirely possible Smart took out JT early so he can put him in with Hayes instead of Donte in with Hayes like it was in the second/third quarter when we were getting killed on the glass by Favors and co.

Cuz is our best rebounder .. so it sort of makes sense to pair him with the worst rebounding 'big' on the roster (Donte).

 

[kingjatt]

i really think our team botched in developing donte green, 6'10 with gaurd like skills is hard to find.

That could be the thinking. But having watched Smart coach all season, I doubt it.

Do you really want to know??

Edit:

30.5% before tonight

tonight: 1-5

should put him below the 30 percent line. Unbelievable that we're running isos for him and he's taking kobe like shots. just insane.

I think Donte's biggest enemy is Donte. He could be a great player but he never showed the commitment necessary. He is still young so I have hope for him, but he may have a tough time finding someone to pick him up next season.

Maybe, but I kinda side with Arkitects thinking.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Cousins, man.

 

[Arkitect]

That was a solid elbow. I think DMC has a legitimate complaint there.

 

[rainmaker]

That ref can let that go. Numerous players don't get called for a tech there.

 

[kingjatt]

Do you really want to know??

on 2nd thought nevermind smh

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Harpring ... THAT is how layups are made? you swing your off arm out like that?


He wasn't trying to cut Cuz, but that is a clear push off/use of off arm.

 

[Henkel]

Can't be too upset with Cousins for that one.

 

[Arkitect]

That could be the thinking. But having watched Smart coach all season, I doubt it.

And now that DMC is out,still no JT as the Jazz grab 4 boards on one play.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Rebound. Kanter and Favors are monsters compared to Donte and Hayes.

Hassan time.

 

[kingjatt]

is t.will a better ballhandler/distributor than jimmer? he seems pretty comfortable handling the pg roll

 

[rainmaker]

JT has 2 fouls. Why the hell is he on the bench?

MT's been getting a lot of techs lately.

 

[Arkitect]

Refs are quick on the T's tonight.

 

[The Hammer]

on 2nd thought nevermind smh

see my original reply. you need to know.

 

[Henkel]

What a joke. Your second best rebounder is just sitting on the bench.

 

[rainmaker]

One problem is Cuz will get suspended. Two more and he misses a game. Or is it 13 in this compressed season? That's mean next tech he's suspended.

 

[Arkitect]

We are losing the rebounding battle 46 - 36. Our 2nd best rebounder has played 22 minutes out of 36 and 4 minutes in the second half. Oh and he has 9 boards already.

No problem for Donte. He just needs to learn to say "Chao" all the time and get a scooter to ride around in Italy.

Do they have scooters for 6'11" guys?

 

[The Hammer]

Hassan is immediately helping out interior D. blocking, altering shots... good to see.

But I though shot blocking didn't help on defense?

I'm 6'5" and have ridden them worldwide, Europe, Latin America, Asia. Safety is an issue, more so overseas - and when tall. Donte is much, much closer to 6'9 than 6'11. I'm 6'5" in my bare feet and having seen Greene closeup - the 6'11" stuff is simply a big stretch.
