[Game] Kings v. Blazers 11/09/13

How many shots does GV needs to generate for us to make one? He has had 4 passes for open shots this quarter alone. Mo assists

 

[storisaurus]

I have never been a huge MT fan but he is struggling... Its actually quite sad. I play and when you can't buy a bucket it feels awful. You know you have the ability, but it just does not seem like it is clicking for him. I just feel bad

You feel bad for a guy making 8 million dollars a year that continues to get heavy minutes while sucking? You're sweet, lol.

 

[flamecrow]

tough to watch so far, giving up open threes

 

[HereWeBoogie]

ya let's stick with this lineup. its been solid all year....

 

[Kingsfan23]

thornton and salmons the worst wing combo in the league by far

 

[PurpleHaze]

GV has a nice jumpshot.

Very fluid, very squared up. He's not the problem and could easily be a 13/9 guy for Kings if his teammates could shoot.

I feel like a broken record, but this team needs Isaiah offense. Yes, offense. Shooting. Taking it to the rim. All of that. And a lot of it.

We don't need him to be the point guard we needed him to be last year. Evans is gone, he's not stealing anyones shots anymore. He is our second best scorer and it isn't close. The shots are his to take.

And that isn't ideal. It isn't good, of course we WANT a better second option, but it is reality.

Are you drunk yet?

Not yet. But reading your post made me realize my brandy glass is sitting in the kitchen! I must rectify the situation immediately!

 

[Kingsfan23]

we said from game 1 that there was no production outside of the 1 and 5 spots, and he we are again, lot of scrubs on this team

Yes, IT needs to take shots and score. BUT he also needs to recognize when a shooter like Ben is open.

 

[cuad]

hahaha Salmons's FG%.

 

[VF21]

DFC getting hit like a pinata and still getting in for the shot. Now if we could just find a way to defend the corners...

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

I could shoot 28%

 

[cuad]

Please tell me Ben's coming in for Salmons.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Horrible, horrible D except for Vasquez - who at least tries.

 

[blackice]

brick brick brick...clank clank clank

 

[VF21]

I could shoot 28%

So could I, and I'm female, old and 5'1" tall.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

What the hell has happened to Marcus Thornton.

 

[Kingsfan23]

I said before the game that I thought we'd lose down the stretch, and hopefully we pick it up and give the fans a show at the end

 

[nebs]

Random thought.. there's no way we are going to set that noise record next week lol.. no chance.

 

[TheFirstBandwagonKingsFan]

First off not defending MT and I get that his chucking his hurting the team. I completely agree with you guys! I just have had those days and it suck, but I don't get paid so Touche lol I for one believe Ben should start like a lot of people on these boards. I just hope he finds it enough so we can milk anything from him in a trade. Or at least enough to have a team take and eat his salary

 

[miltonap]

Yup we need a roster overhaul. Keep Vasquez, Benny Mac, Mbop, Thomas, Cousins, maybe Landry. Ditch everyone else.

 

[VF21]

What the hell has happened to Marcus Thornton.

Pod in the cellar?

 

[cuad]

I guarantee everyone that Marcus Thornton returns to normal as soon as Salmons no longer plays.

 

[PurpleHaze]

What the hell has happened to Marcus Thornton.

He signed a huge contract extension not all that long ago and is now "settled."

 

[Kingsfan23]

What the hell has happened to Marcus Thornton.

I don't know behind the scenes, but to me it just seems lack of heart - or will to play the game. Lack of work ethic to improve, it seems like basketball is a job and not a passion to him, and I'm thinking of calling Grant about it

 

[VF21]

Random thought.. there's no way we are going to set that noise record next week lol.. no chance.

Oh, we'll get it. It will be a full house and the fans will be incredible right from the start. Symbiosis at its best.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Kings continue to score at an incredible clip! 10 points since halftime with 3 minutes to play in the third!

But IT needs to stop shooting! (Kidding .. sorta )

 

[VF21]

I blame Salmons for a lot of things but are you really blaming Salmons for Thornton's abysmal performance?

 

[cuad]

haha, Salmons is still in.

I just dumped a virtual brandy over your head, sir...
