[Game] Kings @ Mavericks, 12/31/14. 5:30 PST, 8:30 EST

Ben makes some nice passes. He crashes the boards and has a beautiful shooting stroke. if he can develop a solid off the dribble game, watch out!

Nice glue guy/roleplayer tools right there. I'd be happy with him as a spot up shooter/dunker if he can develop the defense.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Mavs have all the Momentum and we are lost on Offense. i don't like the looks of this

 

[VF21]

WTH. Jimmer should have been out there the past couple of minutes. And he should definitely be out there right now. IT's game has spiraled down into the bowels of suck.

 

[Revenge]

What are these shots? Reminds me of YMCA ball.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

WOW JT is just so dumb

 

[DesertFox]

Yeah Acy, hook shot is what you want with half the shot clock to go.

 

[theclash4u5]

What was our lead in the 3rd Q again? I want to remember the good times.

 

[Gilles]

Ben finally read the memo: want the ball - just go get a rebound.

JT, the offensive foul king

 

[HereWeBoogie]

falling apart

 

[t-rex]

Really not sure why Jimmer didn't see any time there. IT has pretty much devolved below heroball into nothingball in this stretch and it's not like his defense has been all that spectacular.

Jimmer looks pissed on the bench. He's probably thinking - I can do hero ball better than IT if that's what coach wants.

 

[PurpleHaze]

WOW JT is just so dumb

Dumb during most of the game, dummer in crunch time.

I think Malone trusts IT more on D - not sure why...
Or... Jimmer still being showcased, decided to cap his performance on a high?

That's OK, there's a game tomorrow... Makes complete sense.

 

[Tetsujin]

Halfway through the fourth... Just about time for heroball to rear its ugly, pint-sized head.

 

[VF21]

I am officially NOT HAPPY. There is no reason whatsoever to play IT this many minutes. It is clear to everyone with a brain that he's tired and now playing carelessly. He needs to take a breather. Jimmer did a decent job during the first half. How do you explain NOT putting him in to give IT a breather/

And Thornton comes back in while IT is still out there?

BALDERCRAP!!!!

He picked 2 quick fouls and coach is saving him for when the game is on the line. ....

 

[Toasty]

Coach wants to win.

 

[Tetsujin]

Maybe Coach Malone is trying to exhaust IT into becoming a better point guard.

 

[t-rex]

But toasty said we got this game. Sheesh.

 

[Revenge]

Coach Malone is starting to devolve into a slightly more intelligent version of Coach Smart over the past couple weeks or so.

 

[VF21]

Jimmer looks pissed on the bench. He's probably thinking - I can do hero ball better than IT if that's what coach wants.

A part of me hopes he's pissed enough to stand up in the locker room and demand what exactly it takes for him to get some minutes. At some point, you just have to say ... WTF.

I don't understand either. My guess is PizzaGuys want their guy out there

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

JT, the offensive foul king

JT just can't compose himself sometimes. A lot of the time. If he would just stop complaining, it would at the least bring him some better mojo

[fanop]

Give IT a break for a few mins.. let Gay play point forward... come on coach..

 

[PurpleHaze]

It will be miracle if Kings win this game - considering.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Coach wants to win.

He has a funny way of showing it.

 

[Toasty]

It is a close game... It Is too late to put jimmer in.

 

[DesertFox]

Maybe IT is the one being showcased... Figure east coast GM's are sleeping and just look at box scores.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Just let Calderon shoot a pregame warmup open 3
