Kings Preseason Game 1 Vs. Portland. Tuesday, 7p.m. Game Thread.

[Gary]

Wow, Reke causing Portland to adjust D. Fat Lever just commented that each time he has the rock the D from his man shifts off him and Blazers set up interior zone to keep him from going into the lane. Amazing!

With his penetrating ability you have to.. It's no surprise though either that Evans is weak against a zone.. It was talked about a lot when he was in college..

But all in all he is keeping the mistakes to a minimum and I would rather have him working on that than the passing game. That will come to him in time.

and caspis leading our come back

Omri scores first NBA hoop with a running floater!

 

[Bricklayer]

so anybody been able to tell who Aldridge worked over? Was the matchup with May? Or did we switch Thompson onto him and have May cover Pryz?

 

[6th]

Only 9 assists halfway thru the 4th. Sounds like an awful lot of dribbling. Course, a lot of misses haven't helped, I'm sure.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Its ok guys Beno is back in ..

 

[gunks]

Thank Jeebus

I think it was nearly equal but maybe JT a bit more overall. I notice May with 5 fouls and JT 4 of them - with a lot of the 9 hacks on Aldridge but most of them on Oden.

Hawes is once again getting worked on by Oden.

Oden has 17 points, Hawes has 4 .. Hawes at a -18 at the moment.

Looks like the lineup changed so much its hard to tell. Noc, Kt, Hawes, May, Thompson, and Ely all played 4 or 5 tonight. I am not sure where greene played. Looks like Westphal is test ALL the possibel lineups tonight. so far to me the most successfull was rek, Kev, Cisco, JT, and spencer

 

[Nika]

I am adjusting my "where is that icon with the hearts" question to include both Brockman and Casspi.

 

[Entity]

Hawes and Garcia with back to back 3 pointers. down by 8 right now.

Is this an indication why Hawes did not get the start? 4 pts? That stinks!

Edit: And only 3 boards in over 23 minutes.

 

[Merdiesel]

Nocioni has more minutes than Omri and Donte combined...

**** thats irritating.

 

[gunks]

Isnt Hawes playing on a tweaked ankle or something?



...I give him excuses because I'm an optimist.

 

[Entity]

so much for a comback, May enters for Garcia. lineup is greene, May, beno, brock and Omri. lol

don't look like a winning combination. but like I said he is seems to be testing all lineups.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Super Wierd lineup of the night :

Thomas
Casspi
Greene
Brockman
May

Based off Yahoo .. this cant be right.

 

[cstorm]

That didn't take long May

Coach said yesterday that he was 100%

 

[PurpleHaze]

Only at bit over 2 mins to go. 90-81 Portland w/ Greene, KT on floor. Coach wants to play everyone and not care that much who wins.

6 PF in 14 minutes. Yikes!

 

[Entity]

scrath that KT and Lenny smith in now. down by 8 with 4 min to go. guess winning is not important at this point for Westphal.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

I think all we have done this quarter is foul.

 

[Sac.1989]

Caspi our new 7th man

And it shouldn't be. I don't look at the Ws and Ls in pre-season. I want to see how they play together.

 

[Entity]

probably 10th.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Brockman goaltended a Udoka free throw. Dont see that every day.

 

[gunks]

Caspi our new 7th man

And he just made a 3.

Everytime Spencer sees this team and that frontline parts of him that are supposed to be outies shrink up and become innies.
