WEAK fouls getting called against us. Cmon.

 

[spudfan]

Wow IT....

 

[rainmaker]

Everyone wants to jack a jumper. Cuz, IT and Outlaw all forcing quick jumpers.

 

[Fear the Putin]

some things just never change...

 

[spudfan]

I rather enjoy having Kirilenko back in the NBA. Such a well rounded player and always active. Fun guy to watch.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

i absolutely CANT STAND the way the Kings defend screens on the perimeter. every single time they leave an open guy to roll to the hoop

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

We can't get out of our own way right now. We look hungover.

I don't think they know how to. Last year it made me pull my hair out.

 

[cuad]

omg now SMART is going to make Thornton play with scrubs again. poor MT

Well, when you blow you whistle and practice every time someone passes up a jumper and count is as a TO, this is what happens. Everyone has an itchy trigger finger.

Why didn't IT set up the offense after the first few possessions? Thought that is why he was starting.

 

[mac]

This friends, is what happens when you keep lying to yourself that you can score. No, you can't score. You can chuck. Work on some damn halfcourt offense for goodness sake

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

I'd be willing to see Jimmer play over Brooks, and I'm not a Jimmer guy.

 

[xrzn]

I miss Adelman

 

[jalfa]

and after the TO there'll be the almighty second team platooning in to save the game. this should end well.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

ya all this talk about Defense over the offseason and the coach couldnt teach them how to defend screens? great.

 

[annihilator_33]

I miss Adelman

100% with you

Yea, we still have very poor movement off the ball. Everyone stands and watches the guy with it. So it ends up being one pass and out.

 

[Gilles]

It seems this team doesn't have scouting report: a lot of little things are missed like you want slightly contested perimeter shot you don't have to jump into him.

 

[mac]

Lol @ Reynolds. 5/15 = Got it going.

 

[LoungeLizard]

i miss adelman

yep

 

[SacTownKid]

OK guys, this is still as *** backwards as ever. This team should use a style that HELPS Evans/Cousins, and rotations to facilitate that. This ain't it. Just watch the defense people, Roy was near the charge circle leaving Johnson on the perimeter, Rekes man was doing the same. If you want IT to be the PG and Cousins to be an inside player then personnel changes need to be made, starting with Tyreke Evans. Now, the "SMART" thing would be to find a way to make life easier for Evans and in doing so it would be the same for Cousins.

I can't see how any team in the league doesn't defend the Kings this way. Cousins is a good mid-range player but he has to lane to drive right now. Same with Tyreke.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

so threw 5 quarters so far this season, Cousins is pissing me off. i had so much optimism for him to be a star this year and so far he has shown me no improvement. same old whining and silly foul trouble

 

[spudfan]

I think almost everyone misses him. He could always get the most out of his teams.

Top 6 offense man, just work on the defense it'll be fine, hahaha.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

That's not a foul. He ran right into Chuck. These better even out. We're lucky to only be down by single digits.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

this lineup sucks bad

 

[rainmaker]

Grant, you schmuck, the easy baskets are a direct result of our uptempo, jack it at every opportunity style.

 

[cuad]

lol, why are we running Travis Outlaw isos?

 

[HereWeBoogie]

wow i just saw a player defend a screen correctly. good stuff JT

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Find me an NBA player worse than Travis Outlaw.

We need Salmons to take those minutes. I said it. And this is why I never wanted Brooks on this team.
