Hall of Famer
Note #1 - I did not watch the first half hence I might be wrong or missed something
Note #2 - I won't watch the game tonight hence if the world doesn't end by the end of the ASB - I won't be able to do the game thread for whatever game we are going to lose then.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, Kings did win a road game and no, they didn't mean to. Knick are Knicks and that was enough for another "from behind" road win. Kings 17-34 and 4-22 on the road still 4th worst record in the NBA on course for another good draft spot. One more game before couple rookies go to their first of hopefully many ASB. They better return in one functional piece. After the break Kings will host the Celtics.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I was very happy about the win last night but this morning I realized that this win can be the difference between picking who you want (Noah) instead of who is left(Hawes). That made me somewhat upset. We should definitely focus on beating good teams and let bad teams pick up the wins in games where it counts double. In our situation - it is never too early to start planing for next season.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I am so tired of having to figure out each and every half - which lineup we wil start with. I don't get it. Does it really make any difference ? You just can't haave any rythm, any consistancy to grow. now, veterans may be able to provide instant production when called but kids need time to learn, time to grow and time to make mistakes. Everything else is just slowing down the rebuilding process and wasting time and my nerves
---------------------------------------------------------
have no ides why Kevin didn't start but it was nice and productive decision. He did pretty well last night. Took full advantage of Knick not being able to do anything with Evans. Ran of screens, made open shots. Didn't defend again but he never will. we will know tonight id this status is permanent.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Little over a week until christmas and no sign of Santa. My expectations are as low as KT or Nocioni. Other than Webber in 199 we never got anything goos in the trade and that trade was in the off season. I am pretty shur that we will do something but I am afraid that it will be something very, very stupid.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Did not watch the first half. Kings swept the Knicks and I am not sure whether that is sayins something about the Kings or about the Knicks. Reason Kings won was the reboundig edge of around +20 or so. The real reason Kings won is because we played the Knicks. Kings were down 15 in the 3rd but one again they came back, earned the overtime and then let Knicks beat themselves. JT and Donte played great. Knicks are ... well they are Knicks.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
AWARD TIME
TDM - Chandler abused us until Nate Robinson stopped him
LW-VC -Nate "can't hit pacific ocean, but I will keep trying" Robinson
JHA - Hawes & Udrih (have no clue why they didn't play 2nd half)
MIKKI - Andres " I can rebound in my sleep" Nocioni
SAR- Metuselah - Udoka had been old ever since he choked in LA
RA&1 - Jarred " I am opponent's clutch player" Jeffries
Jax/Walk - Omri "I bet I can fool my teammate into a turnover" casspi who shot 1-8 from three. Even 'Toine would say - "you can do that ?"
WTF moment of the game - If you call for the ball - at least you can attempt to get it and not play dumb
-------------------------------------------------------------------
kings weren't ready for the all star break last night but they will be tired tonight. Pistons have won 3 out of their last 4 games as they are getting healthier but they still suck. it is a back to back for them too so no advantage there. The adjustment we have to make is the tempo whcih will be slow and # op points i the game too. good news is that they don't have a center who will score 50 with 30 rebounds as Wallace couldn't score 50 if he was alone in the gym. Bad news - their bench is back and they make the difference. We should play zone because they can't shoot and because we can't defend
-------------------------------------------------------------------
my matchups:
JT vs can you frigging make two good games in a row ? - is that really too much to ask ?
Casspi vs stop jacking the threes and drive the ball ? - we already have Noc for crap like that
Kings vs rebounding ? - we don't have to win it by 20 again
Jerebko vs TDM - I am the new guy who needs a career high
PW vs lineup #24934 - most of the time I have no clue who is on the floor and why
-------------------------------------------------
Evans - got robbed of two assists. That is what happens when you abuse the home team
Thompson - do it again JT, AGAIN !!!
Greene - exactly reloaded
Martin - much better when side kick, awful defense
Hawes - was he really bad in those 5 minutes
Casspi - it is okay to skip a bad shot from time to time
Sergio - turnover machine reloaded. 4 possesions - one basket, 3 turnovers
Nocioni - one day he will play somwhere else. He is the new flexible piece
Udrih - weak reloaded
Brockman - too slow
rest = mateen
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Pistons 12th in the Leastern conference with 18-32 record right there in out teritory. 12-14 at home but did win 2 straight and 3 out of the last 4 games. They have a very dangerous bench with Gordon, Bynum, Maxiel and Charlie V. Other than that - they are old, slow and boring but the can beat you if you don't defend enough. They don't shoot well. Jerebko gets the career high and TDM. LW-Vc will go to the "big beard." Kings wil surely not ruin their reputation by winning two consecutive road games.
