[Game] Kings @ Pelicans - Tuesday, Jan. 30 - 5PT

[jcwkings]

Poor Papa. Tonight just doesn't bode well for him.

If you want to look for any positives with Papa he set two good screens and hand offs to Buddy for wide open jumpers.

True. I was commiserating about his possible defensive assignments.

 

[Kingz19]

Papa G got the motor running tonight.

 

[VF21]

Papa is actually giving me room for hope. He's working hard. It's not his fault he has mittens for hands.

 

[Kingz19]

Asik looks like he should be a coach. He looks 50

 

[jcwkings]

Papa G played with motor and that's all you can ask for.

 

[VF21]

So...let's just say Papa starts to show more and more what Vlade saw in him. This team is getting more and more interesting.

GO KINGS!

 

[Suicide King]

Asik looks like he should be a coach. He looks 50

He was limited to 31 games last season due to a severe bacterial infection ( he looked awful ) in addition he was diagnosed with Crohn's disease a few months back.

Papa G runs the court well, he plays with energy and aggressiveness. I still think he has the potential to be a bigger, stronger, and perhaps better offensively Koufos. Time will tell if he has the IQ and efficiency of Kosta or if he can ever settle into a role instead of being a boom or bust prospect. He’s still only a kid so coaches and Papa himself are still trying to discover what his potential actually is but I think the Kosta role would be perfect for him. I just don’t see a big body like that with his full court mobility and toughness NOT settling into a rotation player eventually.

I'm trying to figure out why Carter, Koufos, Hill & Temple are playing together

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Wait, Papa 4 assists, rest of team 2 assists?!?

 

[kingsboi]

on another topic, it's great not listening to Jerry out there, despite Napear still announcing

Oh. I knew about his infection last year and saw how thin he had become but didn’t know he has Crohns. Feel like a jerk now.

 

[jcwkings]

Fox and Bogi coming back on with two minutes left in the half. Looks like Elston and Joerger drink the same coffee.

Papagiannis delivers now

 

[VF21]

I'm trying to figure out why Carter, Koufos, Hill & Temple are playing together

1. Elston Turner wants them to.
2. ET's options are limited.
3. ET wanted to give Bogs and DeFox a breather.
4. At least it wasn't Z-Bo.

Nah, not a jerk. At least I wasn't trying to make you feel like one

 

[206Fan]

I must say.. Turner's rotations are horrible

 

[206Fan]

One of Bogdan's worst game. Can't hit anything on offense, while consistently getting beat or lost on defense.

 

[jcwkings]

First team to play defense will win this game.

 

[Suicide King]

Nothing gets Grant's juices flowing like a potential 2 for 1

 

[jcwkings]

It would shock me if a playoff team, like OKC who just lost Roberson doesn't go after Garrett Temple. Can easily see him giving 20-24 quality minutes off the bench in a series.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Nothing gets Grant's juices flowing like a potential 2 for 1

Grant also thinks that if you shoot with 30 seconds left, that's a 2-for-1. But you really need to shoot with about 40 seconds left to guarantee you'll have enough time to get a decent shot on the next possession.

Christie needs to be permanent IMO

 

[Kingster]

Fox and Bogi coming back on with two minutes left in the half. Looks like Elston and Joerger drink the same coffee.

Actually, I think Joerger is far better about playing the youngins than Elston. I don't know what the hell Elston is doing. Brings back Fox with only 2.5 minutes to play and Jackson with 30 seconds?

Hey Elston, did you get the memo about playing the youngins?!!! Take a freaking timeout to get them into the game!

 

[Kingster]

Napier and Christie talking about the start of Fox in the game. Then why the heck did Turner keep him out until 2.5 minutes left in the half?! Let the young man play!

 

[gunks]

I'm boxscore watching tonight and was going to ask why Fox played so little while having good numbers.

I was worried it was an injury, but it was merely a case of suspect coaching! Hurray!

I think he must have read your post during half time and taken it personally.

George Hill was playing pretty well and we really want the Pelicans to get a good look at him, if you catch my drift.

Suspect coaching? Elston Turner knows his stuff.
