Kings @ Jazz Game Thread

[Sparky6string]

These are my two teams. I used to go see this game every year but stopped because I realized I didn't want to route for either team. Wasn't fun live.

 

[Jespher]

How about them Kings! I'm loving the Evans, Udoka, Greene, Thompson, and Hawes lineup. Long, athletic, and active!

 

[Circa_1985_Fan]

Hugo COULD go for 30 this game. Just heard about Omri not playing, that's cool...don't want him to get hurt anymore than he already is. Udoka is a good defender, maybe the best one we have/just got.

 

[Sac.1989]

donte's feeling it from range. Come on coming out party

 

[OptimusRhyme]

good foul donte.

 

[Circa_1985_Fan]

Donte with the nice stroke from the perimeter...nice drive up and under too!

 

[rainmaker]

maybe donte's learning

 

[Sac.1989]

goota love these kids

 

[JerN820]

Donte and Tyreke! What a first half for these guys!

 

[Kings Faithful]

I effin hate Memhet Okur. That guy always seems to just destroy us. Especially from the arc.

 

[Mad D]

Who are these guys?

Team is playing well, too bad I'm going out. I hope I see a W next to SAC on the box score later tonight.

 

[OptimusRhyme]

this is the best ive ever seen donte play. tha kid looks very under control out there. maybe it was baptism by fire for him.

 

[Circa_1985_Fan]

We can only hope...that would male the Artest trade that much sweeter: Ron Ron for Donte, Bjax and Casspi.

 

[Sluggah]

wow. what is going on.

 

[BritishColumbia]

Wow !! Udoka is our Kirilenko!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[OptimusRhyme]

best half ive seen all year for us.

 

[Sac.1989]

ohh yeah KT

 

[Circa_1985_Fan]

Wow, tied at the half...got to be humbling I'm sure for the Jazz.

 

[Sac.1989]

sloan aint goona be happy, screw him though. Donte and Reke show

 

[swisshh]

Udoka has worked really well with Tyreke. He's providing some defense and can play on the offensive end without the ball.

And I'm rather surprised a Jerry Sloan team can't break a zone D.

No doubt. Utah is a rough place to play for most teams too. Last time our Kings played there, it was pretty ugly. Hopefully we continue to keep it up in the second half!

 

[rainmaker]

one thing about westphal is that our guys continue to bust their butts playing for him, which will keep us competitive.

 

[M_Barragan]

Once tyrekes shot gets better.... forget about it. Happy to see dante playing well 6'11 and athletic with those kinds of skills... shame if he never puts it together... maybe today he tastes success on the court and it sparks him to become what he can become.

With that 16 pt earlier deficit I was fearing a blowout. Our guys have no quit in them. Gotta love these kids. Most of that 2nd qtr was fun to watch. I LOVE THESE GUYS!

 

[king07]

you know luck is on our side when even KT scored lol

 

[kgrichwine]

Good work by our young team getting back into the game after being down by 15.
Tyreke is growing up before our eyes! This game has been fun to watch so far. Watch for the Jazz to get rough in the second half.

 

[Larry89]

sometimes I think the players read these forums

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.

 

[PurpleHaze]

best half ive seen all year for us.

I thought 1Q was horrible for the Kings but 2Q amazing and yes - best Kings basketball yet this season. The zone was very effective and Udoka made a big difference with his movement and skill. Donte got off, Tyreke looking extremely good - lots of positive things thanks to that strong 2Q.

Solid on both ends... taking controlled jumpshots and a nice take to the basket on 2 utah defenders
