Kings @ Sixers Game Thread

[rainmaker]

why play him and show how ****ty he is?, that just brings his value down more.

I don't think anyone thought Noc would become such a nonfactor so quickly. But I don't know the answer. Play him and his trade value goes down. Sit him and his value goes down.

JT needs to cut it out with the stupid airballs and turnovers. He's playing like a choker ever since that LA game where he had 0 points.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Thad Young has the most points on the sixers. Who is our best matchup for him? Ill give yah one hint, he hasn't played yet.

Nocioni needs to get back to drinking!

 

[davidfriedlander]

can someone explain the reasoning behind thompson's foul on iverson. He had already dribbled passed JT and he is a great FT shooter. This is type of low basketball IQ silly mistakes JT makes - the silly turnovers and fouls with no strategic goal.

lol

 

[Lafayette]

Hawes can play but he just needs to realize that he can school other centers all day.

I think the Bulls fans did... He is to us what John Salmons was. He can get hot and be great... but the rest of the time he has you pulling your hair out.

bad shot evans

Sure I can explain. HE'S NOT VERY SMART.

Finally we are making a decent run.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

I am way past trying analyze why JT fouls when he does, because it makes no sense. The guy commits some of the stupidest fouls and then complains about them. I don't get it.

kevin with some D

Where's Greene?

 

[annihilator_33]

Where's Greene?

question of the night so far

 

[kingzallday]

Lol @ the sixers getting all the bounces their way.

He plays better when KMart is out there.

 

[=LarryLegend=]

I like Reke and Kmart together...I think it will work.....we need a defensive big.

 

[Luv4Kings]

Ugly but only down 2 at half.

 

[Merdiesel]

With how terrible our defense was that first half, we're lucky to be down just 2.

 

[Andre87]

The and1 "team" will be really proud of us!

Exactly. Even a Keon Clark type of player without the drugs would be nice

I agree, on my first impressions. I never though Kev would be much of a problem. Its our bigs and the fact they couldn't guard my mother which is the problem.

how have Reke/Kevin looked so far? sucks being stuck in LA

 

[piksi]

why Nocioni gets minutes and Greene doesn't - I can't understand

 

[Lafayette]

Yup, the Kings are only down by 2, amazing, this team just makes me fustrated but at the same time I'm excited to watch, damn this team.

 

[CBO]

how have Reke/Kevin looked so far? sucks being stuck in LA

I second this request. Details?

 

[Honolulu Kings Fan]

I'd like to see Nocioni and Udoka's 9 combined minutes go to Greene instead. Those two are a black hole imo, sucking up minutes and giving us nothing.

 

[JB_kings]

COY would be silly in this situation. The easiest coaching job to take (relatively speaking) is coaching the worst team of the previous season. The only direction the team can go is up and the coach can take credit for it, get a raise, etc... Why do you think Bill Purcell wanted to coach the Dolphins. Its much easier to improve the worst team than to keep the best team in their place.
i was saying Casspi was playing well because of his defense on Andre, not because of his shooting.
I just don't agree with his rotations.

Sorry don't agree that the problem is rotations. The problem is poor transition defense and turnovers turning into points. I see a lot bad decision making by just about any player you can name this game. And coach is trying to work Martin into the lineup, so consider that too.

well I generaly would disagree as well -- but it wouldn't be the best idea to bench Noc while we are trying to trade him....
