[Game] Kings @ Nets - 2/5/16 - 4:30 PT, 7:30 ET

[SLAB]

This team is just never going to guard the three point line, are they? Infuriating...

 

[Sluggah]

Part of me thinks that would be funny. The other part of me thinks that would do NOTHING to improve either of their public images.

Damn it. Can't we just have ONE freaking game where it's just about good basketball being played by highly paid professionals and not have some crap to worry about?

Oh, I don't think it's anything to worry about. My read was that it was a fun reprectful pregame ritual type thing.

 

[Glenn]

Unbelievable.

 

[Sluggah]

Apparently 5 possessions of defense is all we get I guess.

 

[Merdiesel]

Wide open 3. Wide open 3. Wide open 3.

I really ****ing hate watching this team right now.

 

[Arkitect]

Grant saying "This is a <TEAMNAME> team that averages <LOW POINTS PER GAME> and already has <ALOT OF POINTS>" has become fairly standard at this point in the first quarter.

 

[VF21]

Apparenrly if we're gonna stop someone from shooting threes, we're gonna have to bring out the big guns...

 

[hrdboild]

Meanwhile... so far the tally is 6 3pt attempts and no free throw attempts.

 

[VF21]

I'd add in bogdanovic.

And don't forget about T-Rob...

 

[c-webb1s#1]

Never thought i'd be glad to have to go to school and take a math test.....

LATER ALLIGATOR!

 

[Showtime]

Fast pace = more possessions.
More possessions = more chances for other team to score (worse for a bad defense).
Therefore, faster pace = losing strategy.

 

[gman23]

This team would lose to the lakers right now. Pathetic

 

[Larry89]

another 30 pt first

 

[hrdboild]

another 30 pt first

SMH, it's become depressingly predictable this season.

 

[VF21]

They are so lucky (or maybe not) that I'm not Vlade. I'd fire George Karl during a time out in front of everybody, and make sure Corliss (whom I would appoint to finish the game) understands if things don't improve by the end of the half, he might be next.

I simply cannot tolerate this any longer. And yes, despite what anyone says, I FREAKING BLAME GEORGE KARL.

 

[VF21]

another 30 pt first

We can't stop now. It would be rude.

There’s your unexplainable Darren Collison dribble off your foot for no reason moment @OkhanSTR

 

[Hoovtrain]

This team needs to make some big changes and soon. Their defense absolutely SUCKS

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

I'd say I'm shocked we're losing to a horrible team by 8, allowing 30+ after the 1st quarter, but I'm not surprised in the least.

 

[VF21]

Kayte Christensen ‏@kayte_c 4m4 minutes ago
Nets not a good 3PT shooting team on the season avg just 31.9% BUT the last 6 games they’ve been shooting it VERY well at a 38.6% clip

Aaron Bruski ‏@aaronbruski 4m4 minutes ago
Now it’s Casspi on the slow closeout. Bogdanovic three. It’s contagious and the Kings have no mojo.

 

[Hoovtrain]

Oh wonderful. They just killed Rudy.

EDIT: Oh crap. I just realized I was 8 minutes in the past on my DVR, Is Rudy okay?

He was traded once they took him to the locker room

You cannot play what you do not practice.

 

[Showtime]

Not one DMC post up yet on the low block.

Me thinks VF is mad

Same story, different quarter for the Kings. They looked good for a few minutes when they ran something coherent.

 

[Glenn]

How many times has our defender backed away to leave the shooter open? At this point I would cheer a player who fouled a three pt. shooter.

 

[ParniValjak]

Sacramento Kings, where turning a washed up Joe Johnson into Kevin Durant happens!

 

[gman23]

And VF I totally agree

 

[thingfish]

Nice block out Gay :-/

 

[Peter_Gibbons]

The trend of giving up 30+ in the 1st quarter continues. Yikes!!!
