[Game] Kings @ Trailblazers - 11/11/16 - 7 PT, 10 ET

[VF21]

Much-needed successful shot by Darren at the end of the quarter. I'm not sure who needed that more the Kings or Darren.

I think I needed it more.

Giving Cousins the ball behind the three-point line gives the defense too much time to get set. Why can't our coaches ever run more plays for him to receive in the high post?

That's a good question but it has been like this from day one. I am assuming the coaches have something in mind. I'd welcome a comment from people who know more about the game than me.

 

[SLAB]

McBen sighting!

 

[jcwkings]

Blazers are shooting nearly 70 percent.

Some things never change: Willie with a quick foul.

Who the heck is Jake Layman?

I'm only catching game updates on the phone so I see no actual action. Therefore I ask, is that great shooting more on good offense or poor defense?

I'd settle for an answer from Keith Smart.

 

[kingjatt]

why even play and roll if going to lazily set the screen to where the defenders can blow it up with little effort. its just leading to the same old iso ball.

Virtually no defense IMHO.

Portland's next one-night superstar.

I wish you were only joking...

Me too...

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Hey, Steamboat, I don't know if you've heard, but you're allowed to box out!

 

[Glenn]

I thought Crabbe traveled. He took the pass and took a couple steps.

It's more like George Karl type pace game so you can guess answer.

Even though we're losing, I like the effort being displayed. A lot more refreshing than the Lakers game, hopefully it continues onto the 2nd half.

 

[sactownfan]

Honestly just watch WCS... it's pathetic... he is so lost and soft. It's awful he literally moves into the worst position possible on defense every time.

Also anyone else notice he refuses to jump to block shots. Just an embarrassment

 

[lwc]

Rudy Gay taking over.

I also like the way the team is playing. Now it should be Boogie time. Rudy is selfish but he is making his shots. Not sure I'd discourage him in THIS game.

 

[kingjatt]

we dont have the offensive talent to be lazy on defensive rotations like that.

 

[VF21]

Hey look. Willie played defense.

 

[Hoovtrain]

This is Gays finest hour

 

[kingjatt]

Rudys hot so lets get away from him as quickly as possible.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

As much as I enjoy making fun of FWC Mason Plumlee, he is a good enough player, for what he is. He'd actually lowkey be a good fit to play alongside Cousins. He's like a (slightly) more athletic Nick Collison.

 

[Glenn]

He just grabs the ball and doesn't let anyone have a chance to shoot.

 

[sactownfan]

WCS is acting like a diva. No heart no hustle soft as toilet paper. BUT WANTS A "BIGGER ROLL ON THE OFFENSE"
He's frustrated by being benched.

Of course as I type this he jumps for a rebound. But don't worry guys he only has maybe one or two more of those left tonight.

Then actually blocks a shot. Maybe I will just keep talking about him and he will do well hahaha

 

[Chubbs]

We have the worst guards in the NBA.

Bigger roll - toilet paper. At least I saw some humor in it.

 

[VF21]

So is the game plan for Ben to stand in the corner for an entire possession just in case we might need him? WTF?

 

[Glenn]

I'm enjoying this game which is totally unexpected. Yee! Haw!!
