[Game] Kings @ Sixers 10/01/12

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

We are doing the absolute minimal amount of jump shot contesting.

 

[swisshh]

Offense is moving the ball more right now. Need to stop drivers to the basket on defense.

 

[Glenn]

Cousins watch - only one foul in the quarter, killing the 76ers (he's really just about the only offense the Kings have other than "drive-and-kick"), but the last one down the floor almost EVERY play.

Salmons and Jimmer are really hurting the Kings with both their offense AND defense.
The Kings simply cannot compete in the NBA if they are going to keep playing this bad, regardless of what Tyreke and DMC do.

I really don't want to defend Jimmer and Salmons, but they actually are good three point shooters. They are new to the team. At my most positive homerish way I can be, I will say they come around. Bear with me. i don't know what else the Kings should do.

Thats how smart likes it; didn't the warriors give up 130ppg last season? lol

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

I can't tell if our defense is bad or if Philly's offense is awesome, but man ...lots of wide open looks for them. We still can't defend PnR's.

 

[annihilator_33]

make a freakin' shot!!!!

 

[Glenn]

I feel a huge need to whine!!!!!

Both. Philly runs a very structured offense, and usually get the shot they want. We however can do a better job of contesting shots. But......how much is Smart actually coaching defense? Not much judging by the five he had out there at the end of the 1st.

 

[Bricklayer]

Man, we just aren't any good at all unless we have both Reke and Cousins out there togetehr.

 

[Fireplug]

Can we please trade our whole team for Ray Allen or anyone else who can make an open shot!

 

[rainmaker]

Cousins has one foul. Get his *** back in there. No Reke or Cousins will kill us.

 

[rainmaker]

I feel a huge need to whine!!!!!

I'm damn close to complaining about Smarts rotations. He's killing us. What is this lineup now supposed to do?

 

[Glenn]

Put Cousins in!!!!!!

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Travis Outlaw and John Salmons are 0-1000000000 from 3.

Cmon guys. Most of them have been wide open.

 

[Glenn]

(not Donte fan) Put in Donte!!!!!

 

[deekay2o9]

Brick City!!!!

 

[OptimusRhyme]

can we get rid of salmons yet

 

[annihilator_33]

yep, just keep jacking up open 3's and keep bricking them

I think you are exagerrating but amazingly close.

 

[annihilator_33]

can we get rid of salmons yet

i wish we could package him and outlaw somewhere but i don't think anyone is that stupid to take the deal

 

[Glenn]

somenabeatch

 

[rainmaker]

Nice to see Grant doesn't realize how Salmons and Outlaw previously succeeded, and how that wasn't as spot up shooters. It's not just shooting %'s. It's how both were used. Outlaw was slashing off BRoy on Por, and Salmons has always been best off the dribble, not spotting up.

Ridiculous our announcer doesn't know more about the game.

 

[Schmoe]

Never play that lineup again. PLEASE!

 

[Fireplug]

Is it time yet for a drinking game based on missed wide open 3's?

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

We should be down by 20+ .. just nothing offensively this whole quarter. Not one good looking score. bleh.

 

[Glenn]

I thought we upgraded our outside shooting. Actually we did but they seem to have forgotten how to shoot AND when they aren't falling, seem clueless. I hope I stepped on someone alse's toes with that comment.

You have always been my favorite. Where's the lavender avatar? I used the WayBack Machine and found some of your articles. Cool.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Donte for threeeeeeee!........

DRINK!

 

[rainmaker]

Our guards not playing any defense is a great way to get Cousins to pick up his 3rd. Keep it up!
