[Game] Kings @ Lakers - 11/11/12

[Sac.1989]

were going back to rekes rookie season here. Give him the ball and get out of the way

I challenge you to see how long you can make it without resorting to your old refrains about Smart. I'm guessing you won't last past the first couple of minutes...

no that starts at the beginning of the second quarter. and even though Smart is limited tonight thanks to the NBA helping out LA, he will probably still find a way to make the lineups much worse than they need to be

Whatever. The real point is that everyone on this board knows what you're going to say. We've all heard the record so many times we can recite the lyrics in our sleep...

It would just be nice to have a game thread where it was the discussion of the game that was paramount and not the same old tired refrain. You know?

 

[cuad]

lol @ SMART starting Travis Outlaw. That was so predictable.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

see i was right, Smart will make it much worse than it needs to be. Outlaw starting? HAHAHAHHAHA

 

[Quix]

i thought the cousins suspension thing was a joke? but it's real? this is about to be very depressing.

so we should all just be content and happy with how pathetic this team and coaching has been for the last 8+ years? sorry im just getting a little frustrated with it lol

 

[cuad]

Marcus Thornton must be real happy,

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Marcus Thornton must be real happy,

why?

Nobody said a thing about content and happy. What I'm saying that you're either choosing to ignore or just not comprehending is that there's more to discuss than the failings of Keith Smart.

To play devils advocate, sub patterns are a paramount part of the game and arguably Smarts largest weakness. Can't watch a game without noticing the effect they have.GS forums were the same with Smart. I don't remember complaints about sub patterns nearly as much under Westy or Theus. You kind of notice the good and the bad each coach brings. But during an actual game it's more, it either helps us win or doesn't.

A coupe games ago Smart's rotations did seem to improve for a half, and many including Reke Havoc pointed that out. Just my opinion.

other than some unfortunate suspensions, theres really not much going on bad with this team besides Smarts failure with rotations/subs/and coaching Offense

 

[Kings Faithful]

All we have to do is play even with there starters and our bench will do the rest...

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Thompson pushed out of bounds by Howard, foul on Thompson?

 

[rainmaker]

We need Reke doing that tonight to have a chance. Don't know why he's running the pick & roll with outlaw of all people though.

 

[kingjatt]

kobe and dwight high pick and roll is what we should do everytime with reke and cuz.

This is simply not true at all....

 

[HereWeBoogie]

sorry VF21, ill try not to be annoying talking about Smart and his rotations. but when its literally the biggest factor in our success or lack of, its hard not to talk about

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Tyreke 3-3 and great D on Kobe.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

nice to see Outlaw go to the bench

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Come on, Kings, I've had a good Veteran's Day. Don't **** me over, now...

 

[VF21]

Thank you. It is appreciated. Honest.

 

[The_Jamal]

Predictable beginning to the game thus far with us getting dominated in the post, but we're staying in it by making shots.

 

[rainmaker]

Jerry just said Reke was darn good as a PG and Smart wants more of it.

Lol. Bet a few of you are ready to tear your hair out.

Only at that shot by Chuck Hayes right there.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

theres just no chance in hell were winning this game without Cuz.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

seriously. who told Hayes hes allowed to shoot?

 

[HereWeBoogie]

this is just sad. Hayes getting absolutely murdered by Jordan Hill on the boards

 

[flipray]

SMH at Hayes fading shot.

We could I think. Between coaches and without Nash, as well as D12 still not looking 100%.

Great defense like the first four games, no foul trouble from key players, 12 turnovers or less and shoot 43%, and I think it's close in the 4th and we have a chance. This is not an LA team which will get out in the open court and rack up transition points. Well, not at this point.
