Kings @ Jazz Game Thread

[6th]

That 2nd qtr will go a long ways in boosting the guys confidence and morale. Hopefully, they can play 2 more good qtrs.

Dammit, first game I miss and Donte plays well.

I'm at a birthday shindig, someone want to tell me how he's gettin his buckets, his minutes , and how his defense looks.

Mostly spot up shots, but the good thing is they were in the flow of the offense and he was even using screens effectively.

 

[rainmaker]

terrible pick & roll defense by spencer, he has to let the guard slide through

 

[6th]

How many steps are they going to allow Williams? Sheesh!

 

[Sac.1989]

come on reke i want double digit assists

 

[6th]

Damn! The spacing and ball movement are BEAUTIFUL!!

 

[Kings Faithful]

The Kings look almost playoff caliber right now.

 

[Sparky6string]

I like JTs play from the post- particularly his passing.

 

[OptimusRhyme]

who said tyreke has tunnel vision?

 

[rainmaker]

beautiful passing

 

[The Hammer]

Hell yes. Seeing things you never saw at ALL last year. Focus. Offensive flow. Rebounding. Smart D. Doing all those things leads to confidence which leads to making jumpshots. Seeing some nice offensive plays as well. These guys are literally gelling before our eyes. There will be lapses, but this kind of basketball was almost wholly absent last year. It's about more than talent. Yes, we have some now. But the larger things are in place, especially, and probably, Westphal's leadership. These guys are learning and trusting each other. I would not be surprised to be surprised by seeing these kids and Noc really come together over the next two months, and then see Martin slide right back in place, precisely because he's not an ego type of player (something he's sometimes criticized for, but maybe there's an upside to him not being that "leader").

[stevetaebo]

When did Doug Christie change his number to 3?

 

[6th]

Evans has 26? Uneffinbelievable. Take that naysayers.

 

[The Hammer]

Hell yes I said HELL YES. YES.

 

[OptimusRhyme]

this is a thing of beauty to watch.

 

[swisshh]

Tyreke looks so much better playing the off guard. He can still pass off his attention, but he is in scoring spots instead of initiating from the start.

 

[Kings Faithful]

Wow... Deron Williams is pretty much alowed to carry the ball right now.

 

[Kings Faithful]

The Kings are embarrassing the Jazz right now... total breakdown.

 

[rainmaker]

defense looks much better after a couple days of practice

 

[6th]

From early in the 2nd qtr to late 3rd qtr, there has been a 31 pts swing. Kings now up by 16.

I LOVE THESE GUYS!!

 

[Sparky6string]

Tyreke hurt?

 

[OptimusRhyme]

[xyrin]

What a fun game to watch so far, all of our players seem to be stepping it up. Impressive defense all around
