[Game] Kings @ Spurs, 2/1/14, 5:30 PST, 8:30 EST

[VF21]

IT might as well just tackle Parker. He's not gonna be able to impact him any other way...

And love our point forward handling the offense.

 

[VF21]

My eyes must be deceiving me. I could swear IT didn't even touch the ball on that last possession.

 

[VF21]

Whoa. IT brings the ball up and immediately gets it to Rudy? WHAAAAAAAAAAAA?

 

[Glenn]

IT might as well just tackle Parker. He's not gonna be able to impact him any other way...

Or bite his ankle.

 

[VF21]

Crap, I spoke too soon. Why should we continue to do something that's worked three times when we can have IT drive inside into traffic?

 

[Tetsujin]

Heroball

 

[VF21]

IT looks like an angry chihuahua chasing a greyhound every time he tries to cover Parker.

 

[miltonap]

That's what I can't stand about IT. He always has to get his, at the expense of the team. Selfish mentality

Interesting mental image there...

 

[Tetsujin]

Tony Parker well on his way to having a double double in the first quarter.

 

[mac]

This is what I mean by Parker runs the offense. To lump IT into the same group as him as a "Scoring PG" is just stupid. Parker probably makes more passes in a quarter than IT does the whole game

 

[Glenn]

He is very predictable. Rudy scores a bunch and IT thinks IT needs to shoot.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Early observation: Kings look like the older team of the two.

 

[mac]

He is very predictable. Rudy scores a bunch and IT thinks IT needs to shoot.

Don't forget if his man scores a 3 or the Spurs get a big basket he'll come right back and pullup for a 3 pointer with 15 on the shotclock.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Isaiah Chuckmas

That's what I can't stand about IT. He always has to get his, at the expense of the team. Selfish mentality

I am truly puzzled. It's clear the Spurs don't have an easy answer to Rudy, so why the heck doesn't IT recognize it and get the ball to him? This is possibly the worst game as far as exposing ALL of Isaiah's weaknesses yet.

 

[Glenn]

So far it looks like the team is deliberately keeping the ball away from IT. So far. It's worth watching.

 

[VF21]

We look like drunken groundhogs out there on defense.

 

[VF21]

Official VF21 status update: The consumption of the brandy has begun.

A 'hot hand' is always a second option or near a last resort

Parker immediately directs traffic to get guys into position where they excel and makes a quick initial pass to start the offense.

IT directs traffic to set himself up much of the time and that first initial pass many times isn't there as he dances with the ball to look for opportunities for himself to penetrate/score.

If Parker had Rudy next to him his main concern would be getting Rudy good looks. Same with Boogie.

 

[Tetsujin]

Breaking news: IT has an assist!

 

[VF21]

And it's VF21's granddaughter again. I love that commercial.

 

[t-rex]

Official VF21 status update: The consumption of the brandy has begun.

Mellow mushroom pizza and diet mountain dew for me.

 

[Glenn]

Breaking news: IT has an assist!

And he leads the team in number of shots taken.

 

[VF21]

Breaking news: IT has an assist!

Oh goodie. Something for the belITebers to point to when they inevitably bring up how we all pick on him.

 

[PurpleHaze]

We couldn't stop Duncan early but now Diaw getting off as well. Oh well, it's close game so far.

 

[t-rex]

Breaking news: IT has an assist!

And he's shorter than him.

 

[Tetsujin]

5 points on 6 shots is, once again, not very efficient

 

[cuad]

Man, this team is melting down, and it's only the first quarter.
