[Game] Kings v. Nuggets 10/30/13 Game Thread

[swisshh]

I can sort of see what the team wants out of Salmons, which is dribble drive creation from the wings, but he is so done as a player that it fails most of the time.

 

[DesertFox]

I really don't like GV and IT together. I don't know why so many people are determined to see it. We have two perfectly capable SG's.

If it weren't for what this team has at SF, I would agree. IT at the expense of MT or Ben, no way.
But in exchange for Salmons or Outlaw, I will take it just as often as not, even after taking into account the size mismatches.

If the opponent is going to a 3 guard lineup it's a no brainer.

 

[KingMilz]

Defense and effort were good.
I'd like to see a more disciplined offense though, too many bad shots by guys who aren't supposed to take them and Cousins really needs to cut the mid range attempts.

Yeah its basically a complete waste of a possession cause he's clearly a beast down low attacking and offensive rebounding, you have to do things within your skillset and Cousins does not have a good enough jumper to justify him taking those shots, go inside abuse the bigs and get to the line.

A lead is a lead but I feel like we should be up by more. Still, I'll take it.

 

[swisshh]

Still amazed that Thornton is this much a non-factor in an offense designed to get open threes. He really has to have that warm up dribble.

Really like how at ease Cousins is in the paint. He is getting good position every time down the floor.

The team has looked good, but hasn't finished the quarters well. They lose a bit of focus and give up the lead. They manage to get back into it though, but Malone has been pretty quick to call a TO whenever Denver gets any run.

Dumb question, just got home from work, but the Kings HD broadcast on Comcast isn't there. I don't mean blacked out, there's just nothing there. I have the Nuggets broadcast non-HD, but the Sac HD broadcast is a black screen. Anyone else with this? Pretty infuriating, was looking forward to utilizing my new 110-inch HD screen......ARGHHHHH !!!!!!

 

[sdballer]

Ben's d is really poor at this point. Hopefully the physical skills pay off

 

[cuad]

Lawson is still hot. (

It's on ABC channel 10 today

 

[Spike]

Not a great start.

 

[Kingsfan23]

Thornton/Salmons/Outlaw all interchangeable wings that probably wont be here 2 years from now

 

[dude12]

Lawson is killing us

Damnit, guess I miss the broadcast, too far north in Portland. Arghhhhhh!

I'm also getting this and I'm not in the Sacramento area

 

[dude12]

Dammmmmnnnn...MT got to hit that 3

 

[Spike]

We have to hit those corner threes.

 

[AaronPDX]

Yep, not on Portland's CBS channel. Yuck, Blazers. Blahhhhhh

 

[Npliam]

Lawson is killing us

He does that to a lot of teams.

 

[theclash4u5]

The General would have at least 8-10 assists if we made our open shots

 

[cuad]

The shots aren't fallin', but we're hanging tough.

 

[KingMilz]

I really wish they would take Thornton out at this point in time

 

[dude12]

Wouldn't mind seeing PPat get some looks from the 3 point line. Salmons and MT have to hit some shots. This game is there for the taking.

 

[Mass]

Who is that guy out there wearing #23? I can't believe it's Thornton.

 

[dude12]

Lets get Ben in please

 

[Dime Dropper]

It's not just that Thornton is missing, he kind of looks disinterested as well. Hope that's not the case.

 

[dude12]

Cuz with mans work

 

[The_Jamal]

Getting tired of these ticky tack fouls getting called against us... sheesh

 

[dude12]

Great defense.....turn it up

 

[Spike]

He has to share the ball.

Seriously, that's not his style. Two good drives, though.

 

[dude12]

Man....I'm biased but I feel like a lot of weak calls are going against us.

 

[The_Jamal]

Man....I'm biased but I feel like a lot of weak calls are going against us.

No I notice it too. They aren't letting any contact slide when we play D
