[Game] Kings @ Pistons 2/17/12

More evidence supporting why Marcus Thornton needs to start games on the bench. Kings playing better with a PG starting.

The Palace at Auburn Hills has largest capacity in NBA at over 22,000. It sounds like an echo is bouncing around when fans cheer - the handful cheering - probably less than half arenas capacity on hand.

I agree 100%. If we want to make the next step, we need a PG (Calderon? Hinrich?), and MT must be our 6th man. That's his role I think, and if Harden can do it in OC, Marcus can do it here.

Actually I take that back. I like the three guard lineup.
 
Anyone else LOLed at John Salmons shot to start the quarter? It's no wonder our young guys seem selfish - they have these kind of vets to look up to

I had been resisting this thought, because that would mean that we're missing both a starting small forward and a starting shooting guard on this team. Add that with the fact that our starting pg doesn't have natural pg instincts, and it really explains our struggles. I was hoping we were just short a small forward, but that doesn't appear to be the case.
 
Jimmer playing better at his natural position: PG. Not playing SG next to Isaiah Thomas. Well dunn, Smart. Now send Salmons home.

Also want to point out that Jimma and Thornton are feeding off of each other like Beno and Thornton used to do last year.

I'm not so sure about that. JImmer has shown he can't really handle the ball well ... his passes are good but he tends to get himself trapped when he's the main ballhandler. Here he's just moving the ball and shooting when he's open

Hey Reke, we are almost at halftime, do you think you will ever start playing tonight?

Well at least he's setting guys up inside. When all our players realise 2 things - the importance of going up strong (Cousins has been dunking it! Tyreke needs to too when he he's coming down court that fast. A lot harder to control the ball off the glass when you're coming down that fast), and the importance of moving the ball - we'll be pretty good.
