Kings @ Raptors Game Thread

Keys to the second half..


let Salmons and Kmart do their thing

Agreed...this game so far is just kind of depressing.

So I have some questions:

With all the scorers on the floor - who will rebound (-9) ?

Which 5 will be on the floor if the game is close down the stretch ?

Who is willing to do anything else but shoot in the 2nd half ?

Remember, it's a lot easier to move players who are actually PLAYING than it is to move bench decorations. I like Bibby - always have - but I think Petrie should do his best to move him. In order to do that, though, GMs have to believe Bibby is back in form.

I'd love to have a chance to find out whether Justin would have one of his impressive nights, or one of his blah ones, but I doubt that we'll have that opportunity.

Bosh is pretty good. Wasn't he Raptors draft pick ?

 

[piksi]

Did Mikki just missed a layup ? (rhetorical)

 

[piksi]

Douby for Udrich - WTF ???

yeah he was picked in the top 5 a few years ago by them i believe

 

[creAtivetfh]

we played like this last year in toronto

 

[creAtivetfh]

this is one sad display right here

i wish i had something else to do

 

[creAtivetfh]

even john looks like crap

 

[piksi]

the team chemistry is gone in one night. The roles are unclear, the minutes, the rotation, pretty much everything. And i liked the roster so much that beat Allas. We need Jones defense and hustle.

Someone said that we have 6-7 players that can average 20+ points - well that doesn't make a good team

 

[creAtivetfh]

kmart is finally starting to play

 

[creAtivetfh]

i love how we foul people like little pansies so they can have 3 point plays!!

 

[kings4lyfe32]

aw that was a horrible foul at least make sure he doesn't sink the layup

 

[piksi]

Bibby's defense display

 

[fnordius]

Now, at the 27-minute mark, Mikki has improved to 2 points and *2* rebounds...

 

[piksi]

Kevin finally does something right

 

[venom_7]

i dont understand how kevin makes imppossible shots

 

[Fresno King]

No team in the league needs to make a trade more than we do

 

[creAtivetfh]

this team could beat and all star team one night and the next night get blown out by a middle school team

i think this is the problem precisely.

John needs the ball and more minutes to get into a rhythm. He's a totally different player when he plays limited minutes and doesn't have the ball in his hands.

I - with great reluctance - have to agree. I've seen the Bibby, Martin, Artest, Moore and Miller team and they aren't exciting and they aren't fun to watch. And I say that without calling out any particular player. The dynamic of that group is simply ... well ... boring.

Udrih, Salmons, Garcia, Moore and Miller with Martin and the guys coming from the bench ARE fun to watch; they ARE exciting. They're the future of the Kings. I want new tires, not retreads. Bibby can be a powerful force on a team that will utilize his strengths. I wish him well ... I love watching him shoot but it simply reminds me of the past.

And now, I'm done with my rant.

Toronto has a winning record. We don't. Hardly middle school. Calderon and Bosh are pretty damn good.

 

[creAtivetfh]

bosh is getting some bull**** calls right now

im not comparing toronto to a middle school team...im just saying

 

[Fresno King]

I'd rather go small with Salmons in and Moore out right now

 

[creAtivetfh]

this game sucks

You mean trades ?
