[Game] Kings @ Pistons - 3/18/16 - 4:30 PT, 7:30 ET

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I'm just glad that they haven't quit.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Nice give and go to Master P.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Can we get our All-Star center to stop shooting threes, please?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

If we were a team that were capable of playing defense, I'd say that this was totally a winnable game.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Improbably a four-point game after three quarters. If only we could cut off their three-point barrage.

Well we wouldn't want to resort to defending the three! We'll just have to outscore them.

 

[Sluggah]

We're dooooing itttt

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

My Kingdom for a rebound!

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I know, right? What was I thinking?

 

[hrdboild]

Detroit made 10 threes in the first half, so far none in the second half. We're still giving up offensive rebounds in bunches though.

Shh! Don't jinx it!

 

[Dbeltz24]

How has the game looked so far guys? At a wedding.

Got killed early, came back late. Still down three. midway through the 4th.

So the usual?

 

[hrdboild]

We gave up 67 in the first half, so almost as bad as the New Orleans game but we've come back int he third quarter and made it close. James Anderson hit some big shots, defense looks a lot better in the second half.

 

[HndsmCelt]

I hate that we let the refs take us out of games.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Well, that'll just about do it for the comeback.

 

[HndsmCelt]

In the words of Captain Taggart "never give up never surrender!"

 

[hrdboild]

Could those corner shooters be any more wide open? It's not like they're running some kind of trick play or something. No team defense should take you 5 or 6 steps away from a shooter.

 

[Dbeltz24]

Why do we come out flat to begin the games?

 

[Dbeltz24]

Did we Hack-A-Drummond?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Why do we come out flat to begin the games?

Must be that riveting pre-game speech.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Caldwell-Pope caught Cousins with the Chris Paul's patented maneuver.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Common foul? The hell?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

STOP SHOOTING THREES!

 

[HndsmCelt]

I really hate that this is become a close game. It just build my hopes up

 

[hrdboild]

Technically we're not out of it yet, but it looks like another one of those close losses where it would be a win if we didn't let them score 120 on us. The slow starts are killing us. Down 14 after 1Q in this one, losing by 9.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Maybe the advanced stats people can point out to our coaching staff that a pattern of giving up 30-plus points in first quarters has led to several lost games. They might need charts to explain this.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

 

[Boogie_Fever]

So another 31-10 game from Cousins yet we'll find another reason to blame him for allowing all those wide open threes, correct?
