[Game] Kings v. Grizzlies - 3/27/17 - 7:30PT/10:30ET

And my point is if he's being put in situations to learn, tonight isn't such a good learning experience because the player he could learn the most from (Gasol) isn't there.

I disagree with your premise. He doesn't learn just playing against superior players. He learns from being on the floor against NBA competition.

And who knows. Maybe he could use his big time size advantage to do something good. It could be a positive mismatch for us.

 

[Tetsujin]

Tony Allen's like 40 now but GT is a better defender than him at this point.

I think we'll find out he was late or something. My instincts on these things are usually uncanny.

Love the way buddy is playing defense....away from ball is is bodying up his man and denying him the ball as best he can....especially love how physical he is being off ball...tbink he is listening to temple

Well, duh. I knew that posts ago, which is why I made the "Cool Hand Luke" paraphrase.

I'm just gonna watch the game now.

Skal not in for a second half stint. An all around non development game. Management will have to rest players for the youth to play it looks like

 

[Jimbob]

Collison is playin like he wants to be resigned. I actually like him in interviews, and recon he could be a good veteran as we develop Frank N next year.

 

[Blob]

Nice to see Willie follow up from yesterday and play solid back-to-back. The last time he had a monster game (29/10) he followed up with 2/2 and 0-5 FGs.

Skal hasn't played well over the past week. Also possible our young dudes are not ready for the second half of a back-to-back.

 

[White_Chocolate]

Why are we trying to win with veterans right now?

Nope. They were all smoking behind the bleachers after school.

So I'm watching Koufos set screens on Vince Carter and I'm wondering if it qualifies as elder abuse?

I have an alternate theory to disciplinary of Papa G: Joerger did not leave Memphis on good terms. Bad blood there! He wants this game bad against former employer and he is going with the guys (vets) who he thinks can best get him the win.

 

[White_Chocolate]

My assumption is Joerger is taking this one personally.

And I have no problem with that. Give coach this game to keep him happy.

 

[White_Chocolate]

As long as we have two lottery picks at the end of the day I will be happy, but if we win too many games I'll be seriously annoyed.

 

[Tetsujin]

Maybe Kosta playing defense like Marcus Camby has something to do with the kid bigs not playing.

 

[Kingsfan23]

Impossible not to love Koufos.

 

[Kingsfan23]

If the main aim was winning and not developing as a 28 win team

Come on now. Willie and Buddy are sitting at 27 min midway through the fourth. It's a back to back against the coaches former team. Kosta and Tolliver are playing well.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Come on guys were getting out hustled here!

Good game so far, but time to bring out the tank. Knicks won today. Big difference between top 5 pick and 8th pick in this draft.

Kings have done and excellent job taking care of the ball. The last few possessions it’s been like a hot potato — gotta credit Grizz w/that

Actually the coach should not put his personal feelings ahead of the good of the team (player development). That's dereliction of responsibility!

Insert McLemore, solves that problem.

 

[VF21]

Way to go, Kings! If the seasoned Grizzlies cannot pull out a win, then shame on them! WCS is showing vast improvement and I'm loving it.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Two days running these kids just flat defend

I'm sorry but I think I take the head coaches judgement of what is good for the team over yours.

 

[Kingsfan23]

WCS has looked more solid these last couple
