[Game] Kings @ Rockets, 26 Mar 2000 EST

[kingjatt]

The Kings, as a franchise, have lived or died with guys like him. We take the league's castoffs.

plus hes cheap

 

[PurpleHaze]

Chuck Hayes a clinic on defense. Meanwhile, Cuz monsterous on offense.

 

[Arkitect]

Cousins finally showing what he can do when he isn't in foul trouble. And it is amazing.

 

[Glenn]

Have the Maloofs offered TWill a contract yet? Can't waste any time, ya know.

 

[Spike]

Hayes is a good complement to Cousins. We need to focus on creating that balance everywhere else, and we'll be fine.

 

[rainmaker]

Wasn't Reke at the table ready to check in before the timeout? What happened? Holding our best defender and top two player out again?

Good thing to, as apparently we want Hou to win.

 

[Glenn]

Is IT trying to be ROY? He's beginning to irk me with the "me first" attitude.

lol couple more threes and they might max him out.

 

[rainmaker]

There you go Smart, keep icing Reke until we lose the lead. Good thing you;re keeping IT/MT out there though, they need shots don't they?

 

[rainmaker]

Smart wants defense, Reke has 6 steals and is far better on that end than IT/MT, yet can't get in the game in crunch time. I'm sure putting him in ice cold is a "Smart" thing to do.

 

[PurpleHaze]

I agree, he's not showing poise at all late in games. Rookie jitters or just to damn small when the chip are down.

 

[Reke]

Reke struggled the first 3 quarters.. Doesnt mean he'll struggle in the 4th.. Get em in there coach.. Lets get this Win

 

[LoungeLizard]

IT and Thornton are both gassed...have either sat this half? Reke should def. be in there for one of them.

Love Cousins picking the PG's pocket.

 

[Spike]

Ugh. Outsmarted?

 

[LoungeLizard]

DeMarcus Cousins!!

 

[fansinceday1]

Good job Thomas, telling DeMarcus to pass the ball in 3 on 1 situations. Love thomas.

 

[kingjatt]

Cuz!!

I just don't know what to say if mgmt thinks he has a legitimate chance.

Don't worry, he'll be back just in time to be blamed for the loss.

 

[rainmaker]

I do.

 

[kingjatt]

has anyone noticed IT shooting more since this ROY B.S?

 

[Bricklayer]

Good job Thomas, telling DeMarcus to pass the ball in 3 on 1 situations. Love thomas.

Not sure he shoudl be talking tonight.

 

[kingjatt]

lol rockets announcers say theirs a battle going on between cuz and patterson, one has 36 and 12 the other has 20 and 4 doesnt sound like much of a battle to me.

 

[Spike]

has anyone noticed IT shooting more since this ROY B.S?

It's been ever since he's been put into the starting lineup, actually.

 

[rainmaker]

I posted this in another thread.

It's just that year after year we're hyping rookies above our better players. Not a knock on IT or Jimmer, but just let them be. I don't agree with the ROY campaign either. I can understand if the guy has a legit shot as Reke did, but IT doesn't stand a chance. Could be 1st team all rookie though. But why even give out the expectation he could win it? Unecessary, and could be part of IT looking more for his shot. Does he feel he has to chase shots and points now that the organization has started an ROY campaign? Possible.

 

[kingjatt]

I posted this in another thread.

100% agree.

 

[LoungeLizard]

How did Thornton get that shot up and in??? WOW!

 

[KingsCitizen]

I don't care if we win or lose this game, I'm already happy how DMC showed up tonight. Very nice bounce back from being previously overpowered by Dalembert in their previous meeting.

 

[Heuge]

Crap offense. Thorton had no intension of doing anything other then throwing it at the rim. If thats what we do, its Reke's ball. That said, I hate this type of offense.

 

[annihilator_33]

time to draw up something for Cousins and get a W
