[Game] Kings @ Pacers 11/3/12

[jalfa]

apparently the solution is JJ. great.

 

[rainmaker]

See, this is when you bring starters back. Ind gets it.

 

[tyreeeke]

Look at Indy's ball movement and patience, they are unselfish and actually listen to their coach.

 

[cuad]

Aaron Brooks just pulled a Nate Robinson, lol.

 

[SacTownKid]

JJ and Hayes in there together. I like it, two best defenders on the team.

 

[kingjatt]

Smart: "Lets see, how do we increase this lead.......Ooooh! Lets change the entire lineup for most of the second quarter!"

seriously, this kind of crap cost us in both of the first two games. its so frustrating. yeah rest them thats fine but dont do it for entire quarters!!

 

[SacTownKid]

Look at Indy's ball movement and patience, they are unselfish and actually listen to their coach.

And look at his substitution pattern. Very few minutes go by without at least one starter on the floor. Timed substitutions, set lineups. Wish this team had that.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

I'd feel better about this team if:

1) Tyreke could play 48 minutes

2) We had a coach that realized we need to play Tyreke 48 minutes

 

[Chupacabra]

That 1st quarter defense is the level of defense that this team is capable of playing and it should happen this way EVERY GAME. What do you know, Smart starts off the 2nd quarter with a completely different lineup. Brilliant.

 

[UK_King]

oh my god Gerald Green.

What was Cisco doing there leaving him

 

[jalfa]

JJ and Hayes in there together. I like it, two best defenders on the team.

if we had any kind of plan to free up/properly utilize Thornton and Brooks, I wouldn't even be that against it.

 

[UK_King]

Notice how with MT as "Sixth man" all the offense is for Cisco.....

 

[The_Jamal]

Chuck Hayes defense

 

[kingjatt]

yeah these iso's arent hard to stop.

 

[Bibbilicious]

I feel like Smart just doesnt want to hurt anyone's feelings so he tries to play everybody. There doesnt seem to be any reason to a lot of his subs.

 

[LWP777]

Cisco is horrible. The only thing he's supposed to be good at is shooting the basketball but he's not even good at that.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I only feel bad when MT23 has to play. I kind of enjoy watching the other Kings get destroyed.

Nice to know where cuad's head is at...

Seriously, though, I thought the point of Thornton coming off the bench was so that he could be the focal point of the offense when the reserves are out there; why is he not touching the ball?

 

[jalfa]

bringing in Cuz is a start, how about bringing in Reke as well, though?

 

[The_Jamal]

6 min rest for Cousins and Reke is perfect

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

And, of course, as soon as I post that, Thornton makes plays on two straight possessions.

 

[SacTownKid]

JJ looking good at PF, he's opening up space at the corner. PF's will come out to guard him, SF's will not if Reke is on the other side.

yeah like with Jimmer getting the DNP the first game then huge minutes against the wolves, almost seemed like it was a nice gesture from smart, even he should know Jimmer has no chance at containing Berea.

 

[rainmaker]

This is an improved sub pattern. Not that great, but improved.

 

[The_Jamal]

10 points, 7 shots, 2 assists. He had plenty of ball

 

[tyreeeke]

Oh no Salmons will be back soon.

 

[jalfa]

weird that George Hill couldn't do that vs. IT.

 

[Quix]

I like what JJ could bring to the team...but of all our starters, I'd like him to take the least amount of shots. every night.

 

[tyreeeke]

Jimmer was the only one that broke even on the +/- stat and played JJ just as good if not better than the other guards. Watch the tape.

Keep posting then Slim.

No, he's only supposed to be good at defense and he's solid.
