Kings@ Nuggets 3/30/11

[Tetsujin]

Im not saying its the reason we lost, but Westphal's rotation tonight was just terrible. I could point to about 5 different things that just didnt make sense.

And the Denver Nuggets have some of the most clueless annoucners in the league.

Yeah not exaclty sure why we decided to suddenly insert Omri in there for 30 minutes. I realize that Cisco has been sucking eggs but Donte at least plays defense.

WTH did Omri get all Donte's minutes? Omri had one good quarter, compared to a very good 5 game stretch for Donte. Unbelievable. I can't comprehend Wesy's treatment of Donte, especially when Omri is getting abused on defense.

Marcus and Reke did their part, but we needed a third gun and/or more defense. Thompsons's and DMC's 5 TOs each didn't help either.

Defensive breakdown in the second half; too bad because the Reke/Thornton backcourt played to perfection. At least we have seen that the 2 seem to quite possibly make each other better or at least open up some space for each other.

Also, I won't be surprised to see someone somehow blame this on Reke.

Oh don't you worry, it's going to happen. I already smell the Rubio/Martin crew coming up with something new tonight.

Well you did notice how his return to 20ppg form oppressed all of his poor little teammates into incompetent play didn't you?

No doubt. Its starting to get real personal when it comes to Tyreke with many people now. Why all the hate for the guy? If our big men didn't get worn out today, it would have been a more competitive 4th with how Reke and Thornton played today. BTW, we need a nickname for Marcus. I heard one of the guys on NBA Tv refer to him as Lil Buckets but not sure if I like that.

Kings fans are funny like that sometimes. I guess there must be a villain.

 

[gunks]

Meh.... There's some fans who have a definite agenda against Reke, and there are also fans who are over defensive of the guy.

I have my issues with Reke's playstyle. Do I want to trade him? Hell no! I just think there are certain things the guy needs to work on mentality-wise. He overdribbles, and he tends to try to be the hero a lot at the detriment of the team.

Dude is also a deadly offensive weapon and good defender when healthy.


Both the haters and those that overreact to the criticism need to realize that Reke isnt a finished product. The optimist in me says Tyreke (health permitting) has about one more season of sometimes irritating, polarising play... Followed by a career of beasting it on the league. I'm going to be patient, but I'm still going to speak up if he does something fool on the court.



...All that being said... No, I dont blame the loss on Reke. Calls went Denver's way the entire night and our frontline laid a stinker.

The worst part about this game was the Denver announcers.

I hope we absolutely obliterate the Nuggets in our next game, and I'm frustrated that we weren't able to pull out a victory.

The Suns announcers were good yesterday which made what I had to put up with tonight all the more unbearable.

For some reason, I feel like the Suns are maybe the chillest franchise in the league.
