[Game] Kings v. Warriors - 12/1/13 - 3 p.m. (PST)

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Down 10. If we can just play smarter we should have an entertaining 4th quarter.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

I, personally, am still interested. Therefore, I will continue to watch and post. That makes sense. Saying you've completely lost interest would be an indicator that you're going to do something else... Then why not just walk away from the computer?

i guess i just said that because i caught myself browsing the interweb and kind of forgetting that the game was even on for a few minutes lol

 

[gman23]

could have been worst than being down by 10. Well we see the starters at the beginning of the 4th? Just play a 2 man game with DMC on the post and a shooter outside and make GS work on D for the first 2 poss.

 

[John Galt]

This amount of Warriors fans weren't at the games last year. Wonder why they became Warriors fans? (*COUGH*bandwagon*COUGH*)

To be fair there were not this many kings fans at games last year either

 

[Kingstime]

McCallum has to be put in the rotation and hopefully does well so IT can feel the pressure to not turn the ball over

 

[HereWeBoogie]

We will see if the officials actually allow the Kings to have a chance here

 

[HereWeBoogie]

while people are bagging on GV i guess ill jump in and say, i can't wait to see him guarding Westbrook on tuesday...... yikes

Man I'm looking forward to that, just because I what to see what he has to offer.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Much has been made about the Kings need for an interior defender / shotblocker.

This is still true.

That being said, Cousins and JT have done a much better job locking down the paint and defending interior scorers than the starting guards have done defending the perimeter. That's been a bigger issue all year.

LOL, that's a cartoon

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

IT with his 38th turnover on the night

 

[VF21]

Oh ... my ... Two games in a row where IT has not looked like the Hustlin' Husky.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

With GV being as bad as he is and Isaiah with 7 TO's, might be time to give the young rook his first look

 

[gman23]

IT dranked his own kool-aid

 

[dude12]

MT playing well today....including defense

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Cousins better come in after this timeout.

 

[gman23]

I guess we are not going to the starters

 

[VF21]

We think we're frustrated? Imagine how Malone must feel. No wonder he wears his hair so short.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

But it's not like the Kings just became a winning team last year.

3. he only had 9 pts the game before last

Not sure what you're trying to say but Warriors fans have had large numbers in attendance at Sleep Train for a couple of years now.

The thing about Thompson, and the reason why he's not effective as a second big is because, while he's an above average man defender in the post, he's a below average help defender, mainly due to the fact that he doesn't block shots or draw charges. He's also pretty good at keeping his man from blowing past him from the perimeter, but he's not so good at boxing out.

I still say that he's a good buy for what he does. Or, he would be, if we had a legit second big. Which, unfortunately, we do not.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

why no D-Will?????

 

[gman23]

?????

Press coverage.

Yeah. The penetration that the guards are allowing is terrible for any team defense hopes. It's what's leading to the high 3pt% that the Kings are giving up. Guards give up penetration, the middle and wings collapse, and it results in kickouts for wide open threes.

He meant to say, "IT drinkded his own kool-aid."

I'm saying they're bandwagon fans. There have always been more Lakers fans than Warriors fans in Sacramento, and the Lakers fans weren't this loud.

New career high for Thomas, so he's got that going for him.

i can definitely confirm this. i was at the first game of last season against Warriors, before anyone thought they were a playoff team. and there were TONS of obnoxious warrior fans from the bay
