[Game] Kings @ Trailblazers 27 Dec 2200 EST

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

IF this is Portlands big push we are doing a pretty good job of hanging around despite playing so poorly.

 

[Sac.Kings]

Where in the world are Tyreke and MT? Why are they not in the game? We have two rookies and JJ Hickson who doesn't play defense not doing a thing currently.. Get Tyreke in please

 

[kingsboi]

free throws after free throws after free throws for Portland. sigh

 

[gunks]

Westphal been drinkin the Kenny Natt coolaid.

Also...CUZ!

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Westphal can be such a hard head sometimes. I know you have a man crush on Jimmer but the Blazers are targeting him right now. Can't play Jimmer and Thomas together tonight.

 

[slugking50]

We are lucky we are only down by 5.....

 

[Ryan]

Ugh. cousins and fouls

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Flop alert = Kurt Thomas.

 

[annihilator_33]

wow...u gotta shoot that jimmer

 

[Dreadnought]

Is anyone else surprised at how much passing there has been in the this game and the one before it? Very team oriented I feel like. Or maybe I've just seen so much less passing in the previous years.

 

[cuad]

Wow.

 

[Nighthawk1]

Jimmer is getting exploited. Tyreke needs to be in this game to slow this down

 

[gunks]

Westphool really blowin it with this goofy lineup.

 

[nickmcclure]

ok the thomas/freddette back court combo = fail westphal!

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Ugh. What is Gods name was Westphal doing that quarter. Seriously.

 

[xrzn]

Westphal is clueless. We have a beast of a backcourt with Reke/MT and instead he plays Thomas/Jimmer.

 

[kingsboi]

well isnt this swell

 

[ovrush]

so Westphall is happy having Isiah Thomas monopolize the ball but Tyreke seems to have no rope to create anymore. This has been a game the coaching staff is working hard to lose after our starters had a tired Portland team on the ropes in the first half.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Hey, remember when we beat the Lakers in the season opener? That was awesome.

 

[Tetsujin]

Why no JT?

 

[spudfan]

Kings had Hayes, Outlaw, Fredette, Hickson and Thomas on the floor for awhile... All players who weren't on the team last year. Interesting lineup.

 

[cuad]

only 10 assists to portland's 21.

 

[SacTownKid]

Westphals rotations and coaching style are not conducive to winning, passing, and team basketball. At least not right now.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Defense has been average, offense has been poo poo.

 

[cuad]

Ha ah ah ah

 

[Circa_1985_Fan]

Hey, remember when we beat the Lakers in the season opener? That was awesome.

I don't...tonight sucks

 

[GoSACtown]

why hasn't jason thompson returned to this game????? he absolutely beasted in the 1st half, come on PAUL!!!

 

[annihilator_33]

back to good ol' one on one basketball.....fantastic

 

[LakersStink]

All of these lineups by Westfail are true head scratchers.

 

[ovrush]

it looks like we're playing Tyreke as a 3 now... matching him up against guys bigger than him, turning his size strength into a weakness. Just terrible terrible coaching. Someone should tell westphall that Don Nelson spent 30 years making small ball not work.
