[Game] Kings @ Jazz - Saturday, Oct. 26 - 6 PT

Lol buddy play like you just earned a new contract

 

[TaxMan]

They look like a frustrated team that has struggled through a long season, not an excited young team. Not good

If walton's strength really is as a communicator/motivator, then this is where he better shine.

 

[Kingz19]

Ball and player movement please

 

[dude12]

Take the turnovers away and we are in good shape. Can they stop turning it over?

 

[Capt. Factorial]

It sure seems like we need a coach that can teach people how to play basketball. Walton seems to be the sort of coach best suited to a team of 30-something superstars that already know exactly what they're doing and need a guy to manage egos. We need a teacher in a bad way.

 

[Bfreeman]

Fox looking like a stud!

I thought we had one

 

[SLAB]

Doug Christie earlier this quarter; “The Utah Jazz have trouble scoring the basketball.”

Utah Jazz have 31 before the end of the first quarter.

35

Not anymore. The move to the ZenMaster coach appears to have been a bit premature.

 

[joemama]

Kings shots are almost ALL fading away or are rushed.

Agreed....I'm very concerned.

 

[dude12]

Down 10 after 1. Damn

may want to play Yogi a bit, get some offense and pace going. Hell, I’d input James right now to help speed things up. Whatever it takes

 

[TaxMan]

We aren't running. We aren't passing. No pace. It feels like every possession is at most one pass, often none. The offense seems to have no purpose at this point.

 

[LoungeLizard]

We seem to be the cure for any teams offensive woes. These 30+ point quarters have got to stop.

 

[Hoovtrain]

Sitting here waiting for PG&E to cut the power for the 4th time this month and I'm faced with a burning question. Do I go up to the local eatery, which has a good generator and a nice TV (and okay food) and watch the game or do I stay home and use the gas in my own generator to watch?

Upside to staying home is I won't have to make excuses if the team sucks rocks. Downside to staying home is I won't have access to as much variety of adult beverages if the team sucks rocks.

Talk about dilemmas...

Come on, Kings. Prove last night wasn't who you are. (If Fox doesn't play, however, all bets are off...)

It's not gonna be an easy season but I refuse to give up this early...or ever, truth be told.

GO KINGS!!

go to the restaurant, you are going to need copious amounts of booze

 

[Kingz19]

Kings were very good at taking care of the ball last season despite more passing and more possessions. Hopefully this is just an early kink but Kings seem to be terrible at setting screens and are doing too much high post Dedmon

 

[SLAB]

Kings seem to be terrible

This would also sum it up nicely.

 

[SLAB]

Great minutes for Ariza again.

 

[kingsboi]

Great minutes for Ariza again.

we now know why he signed here

 

[Hoovtrain]

This team is an embarrassment

 

[Kingz19]

Great minutes for Ariza again.

I didn’t even know he was in. Don’t know if that’s terrible or a relief

 

[KingKong]

This team was just not ready for this season.

 

[joemama]

This team is an embarrassment

U see a team?

 

[TaxMan]

I kept track as the number of passes per possession since the start of the second quarter. This may not be exact, but the point stands:

2 passes
0
1
0
2

I couldn't continue. For comparison, here is the Jazz ball movement for a few possessions

[chief bromden]

This whole team is out of sync. Bad body language

 

[Kingz19]

STOP. RUNNING. THE. OFFENSE. THROUGH. DEDMON

Passing the ball doesn't seem to help, as it just goes into the hands of the Jazz or out of bounds when we do.

 

[SLAB]

30 wins might be on the high side for this team. We’re bad. Very very bad.

 

[ESP47]

What the hell has Walton been doing? Just shoot arounds all training camp? This team is not ready for the season.
