[Game] Kings @ Trailblazers - 12/8/12

[pupsingh]

man these blazer announcers are just clowning the kings selfishness. salmons was doing so well then it all fell apart

 

[1234kings]

jason thompson needs to be more aggressive when going to the hoop geez.

 

[rainmaker]

smh @ no Jimmer.

BTW, TRob isn't as poor inside as you make him out to be.

TRob- inside eFG% .581

Blake Griffin- inside eFG%-.568

Pau Gasol- inside eFG%-.551

Again, cuad, if you're going to troll Kings players on a Kings forum, and simply say they suck, have the decency to back it up when confronted.

blzer announcer also pointed out that cousins is always in position early in the shotclock but guys always shoot it instead of finding him

 

[1234kings]

urghhhhh why can't the kings ever keep a steady lead.

 

[spudfan]

Yay! We got 10 points this quarter!

What makes it worse is a) our lead is evaporating while we chuck from the outside and b) our offense is right in front of our bench and Smart and there's no reason Smart can't yell to dump it inside to the big guy.

 

[1234kings]

eh at least we're up by something.

 

[lwc]

If the Kings lose this game, they can only blame themselves. Hopefully Keith Smart rips into them during the half and figures something out. I'm not holding my breath.

 

[spudfan]

Welp, our bench was 1/13 in the second quarter in about 30 minutes of combined play time.

 

[VF21]

Oh good. The Isaiah Thomas story is on again at half-time. I'm so glad. I missed so much the first three or four times they showed it.

I was hoping for Jimmer's story again!

 

[jcwkings]

The second unit runs so much better when Jimmer plays, our gaurds not giving the ball to Cousins killed our lead. Jacking up jumpers with 20 seconds on the shot clock is just plain stupid. Kings will lose this game and can only blame themselves

 

[lwc]

Spudfan got me interested so I looked: The bench is shooting a total of 2/15 or 13%. Yuck!

 

[rainmaker]

Smart just isn't willing to man up and tell our chuckers to quit chucking and to go inside to Cuz. It's more glaring of an issue when Reke isn't playing.

IT going 0-3, 2 turnovers and 0 asts. Just how the hell did he jump Jimmer in the rotation again?

 

[lwc]

Interestingly, Garcia has the highest +/- of anyone in the game with a +9.
Cousins has 9 points, 8 boards and ZERO turnovers!

The second unit is bad at scoring. Like REALLY bad. They scored 5 points if my math is correct during that second quarter in about 30 minutes. 3/4 from free throws and one field goal from Marcus. So 13 shots and 4 free throws got them 5 points while playing half of ~50% of the minutes in the second quarter.

Why would he start now?

No idea, I think Jimmer helps Marcus more than IT does. He definitely draws more attention from the defense which will let Marcus have a bit more breathing space. As it is now he is the only one of the five players during that 6 minute span in the second that the other team has to worry about AT ALL.

What's funny is Smart saying he won't play Reke more because he's afraid of empty mins, yet he regularly leaves our bench out there when they're doing the exact same thing.

I mentioned yesterday that they should have recorded Walton's courtside rant so they could play it as many times as possible. I have no faith in Smart being able to rip into them. He'd be afraid of hurt feelings.

Yea. Our second quarters have been pretty terrible all season from all those empty minutes we are getting from guys. The starters have been doing decent but these second quarters, and more recently third quarters have been head scratching.

 

[spudfan]

Haha Bobby! "Man we just...ssssss" I thought he was gonna say we just sucked

 

[rainmaker]

2004 version of Salmons showed up tonight.

 

[1234kings]

can we get some D in the paint please?!

 

[VF21]

Now this is fun to watch.

 

[jaysoonii]

[1234kings]
