[Game] Kings @ Raptors 1/4/2012

[HereWeBoogie]

JJ forced some shots but played very good D.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

OK, so as much as it would seem that this is the case (and we have had a few major second-quarter meltdowns), it turns out we're hardly worse on the season in the 2nd relative to other quarters.

1st: -1.56
2nd: -1.75
3rd: -1.31
4th: +0.13

Whoda thunk?

what exactly are those numbers?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

what exactly are those numbers?

I'm guessing the Kings' +/- average by quarter, on the season.

Can you break it down to bench vs bench scoring somehow? Curious to see as it seems our bench regularly gets dominated in the second for some reason. The other quarters they normal play decent.

Our net score in each quarter, on average, this year.

Nope, sorry. I had to enter the quarter-by-quarter box score data by hand. Don't have access to bench/starter breakdown data.

 

[spudfan]

30-16 bench points. That's a bit misleading though since two of their starters combined for 13 minutes.

 

[spudfan]

JT and Cousins looking strong to open the quarter.

 

[jalfa]

oh god, please don't take Gray out!

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Cousins continues to play like a monster. gonna be the real test tomorrow when he goes up against a high quality Center in Brook Lopez

 

[Glenn]

In my usual defense of Cuz, he could very well have lost his temper in the first half and didn't. Maybe now the refs will lay off.

 

[Fear the Putin]

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

oh god, please don't take Gray out!

Looks like Cousins is enjoying White Panther for supper, tonight.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

It turns out that the second and third quarters (std dev. 8.5) both have a lot more variability in net score than the first (6.8) and the fourth (6.3).

If you want to look at it a different way, I do have this info:

Number of quarters of -10 points or worse, by quarter:
1st: 4
2nd: 9
3rd: 6
4th: 1

Number of quarters of +10 points or better, by quarter:
1st: 1
2nd: 4
3rd: 2
4th: 3

Our two worst and three of the worst five quarters came in the 3rd, the other two of the worst five came in the 2nd.

 

[jalfa]

if the Raptors bench were their starters, they'd be in much better shape today.

 

[William Blake]

I would love to see the +/- for the Cuz/JT pairing in this game.

 

[Kings Faithful]

Seriously. Thumbs up to clifford ray for his work on Jt's offense.

They are making the Raptors look like little kids out there.

Thompson should tithe ten percent of his paycheck to Mister Ray. Whatever that man's getting paid, give him a ****ing raise.

 

[lwc]

Good to have a double digit lead.

 

[spudfan]

We need some guys to start knocking down open shots when Cousins kicks it out. I want another triple double

 

[HereWeBoogie]

the "Trade DeMarcus" people have sure gotten quiet lately

 

[spudfan]

Seriously. JT used to try to play so fast and blow open/easy looks. He has slowed himself down a lot and finishes so much better now.

 

[spudfan]

Oh, they will be back. Remember we are suppose to get DeMarcus to start playing like a super star.. THEN trade him.

 

[Glenn]

JT is far better than I thought he was going to be coming out of Rider.

 

[Kings Faithful]

Hopefully some of that magic rubs off on T-Rob.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Garcia missing shots that he's been hitting all year.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

DMC needs to touch the ball every trip down the court. Garcia needs to go back to the cutting and slashing he was doing the other night. please stop shooting jumpers

 

[spudfan]

That looked like a travel to me.

 

[Kings Faithful]

DMC is making them look like children.
