[Game] Kings @ Timberwolves - 11/2/12 - 5pm PDT

Problem now might be that naturally, IT and Reke will tire. Can't just ride guys the entire 2nd half. Can Smart actually rotate them in and out without killing what we're doing?

Put in Marcus for Tyreke. That was a good move. Let's see what follows..

 

[HereWeBoogie]

omg now you take Tyreke out for MT? how about take out Garcia or IT. you idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He has to come out for a rest so he can finish off the fourth.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Garcia with the worst defense i have ever seen trying to stay in front of Shved

 

[jalfa]

and at some point in the future I'll sit down with my kids and tell them: "and then JJ Barea came in and he was a total bloody game-changer."

he's fine, he rested the whole second quarter

What amuses me the most is that he's had Brooks and IT guarding him all game and they haven't been able to stop him. Then Grant asks Reynolds who has the best chance of guarding him and his response is Brooks/IT. Like ... ok we're ****ed then.

Then he played the entire third. Doesn't matter what he did in the first half after that.

It's a tough spot, but I think you need to ride Evans and Thomas till the end here. It's not like we are tied or in the lead anymore. We are still down. We need this win. Play with urgency, coach with urgency.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

i dont like our chances if Chuck Hayes is in the game much longer

 

[swisshh]

it may shock the Tyreke fans to hear, but Evans is 3-12

 

[UK_King]

I can't imagine Smart is calling Chuck hayes in the post plays, quite simply that is lazy offense, if no one moves he has to do something, the rest of the players hid.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Down on the road in the 4th quarter with Garcia and Hayes on the court. NOT GOOD

 

[rainmaker]

Subbing him out isn't the problem, it's how long until he gets back in. It was IT/Reke playing off each other which got us back in the game. For some reason we went away from it. More importantly, when do we go back to it?

 

[kingjatt]

on a side note harden with 45, hes on a mission.

We know. Why would that be shocking, lol?

Should be no later than the 8 minute mark. This is his weakness though, lets see what he does.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Lazy defense. These team fouls are going to kill us.

 

[xrzn]

Whistle, whistle, whistle

Chill, if he gets 5-15 he's got it going

 

[HereWeBoogie]

haha Jeremy Lin is probably pissed. he thought he would come to Houston and be the star and the fan favorite.

It;s Smarts offense which gets the ball to Hayes in the first place. Smart obviously has said he's an option on offense, and given how he runs nothing off Cuz, no runners/cutters/off ball movement, it's no surprise. Not just guys happening to stand around when we still haven't sent cutters off Cuz either.

 

[kingjatt]

i knew the subbing would get us.

 

[deekay2o9]

Howabout that flop???

 

[HereWeBoogie]

so just as we all suspected. coach would kill our chances to win with bad rotations. cool. new coach please

 

[spudfan]

That should be counted under the new flop rule. The movement was made to fool the ref and not indicative of the contact. Did you guys watch the video they put out on it?

 

[jalfa]

yeah that 4th team foul was clearly necessary.

edit; oh bloody hell!

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Flop by Barea. Garbage.

 

[kingjatt]

haha Jeremy Lin is probably pissed. he thought he would come to Houston and be the star and the fan favorite.

he put up 21-10-7 im sure he can live with that line, oh and hardens 45 was on 19 shot attempts.

 

[spudfan]

Lin went 21-10-7, doubt he is pissed. They won too.
