[Game] Kings vs Bulls, 12/29/11 Game Thread

[TehSwimGuy]

See the Bulls move the ball around? That's how the Kings of old used to move the ball around, but even more so.

 

[Henkel]

Love the improvement from cousins on the defensive end.

 

[Tetsujin]

For what its worth Jimmer's defense has been about as good as Beno's.

 

[Aenadin]

We are still a terrible basketball team. Why did we bring back Salmons again??

we could have taken back brockman or id prefer ilyasova but no we had to get john salmons

 

[cuad]

Bulls didn't ice and John Salmons gets a nice easy jumper.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Cousins with his first field goal of game! Let's celebrate - nope, Bulls blowing back down court in transition for another hoop. What a broken record!

 

[Tetsujin]

Somethign is wrong with us if we aren't trying to give Boogie the ball

 

[Henkel]

Man Noah is really shutting Cousins down.

 

[cuad]

Tyreke rly needs to stop gambling in transition.

 

[swisshh]

Stop going for backcourt steals

 

[Tetsujin]

Man Noah is really shutting Cousins down.

The concern the entire Bulls D has had for Cuz has resulted in Hayes having quite possibly the best offensive night of his career

 

[Nighthawk1]

These guys are uninspired, playing at half speed. Do they just hate playing for westphal or have no idea how to react?

 

[swisshh]

"we didn't have a preseason or breaks"

No westphal, you've had two whole seasons and their preseasons.

 

[Nikefutbolero]

Bring back Eric Musselman

 

[LakersStink]

Paul Westphal on his approach to practice: "Practice...Practice...We're talking bout practice?...Practice!?!?........What is practice again?"

 

[cuad]

Great play and great pass.

 

[Aenadin]

why don't we run on the offense??

 

[Tetsujin]

Boogie for DPOY

 

[Henkel]

Another great cut by Evans. If he can play off the ball effectively I think it makes us a lot better.

 

[William Blake]

can we say cousins has become a good one on one defender?

 

[BMiller52]

Tyreke isnt playing defense

 

[Italics]

Paul Westphal on his approach to practice: "Practice...Practice...We're talking bout practice?...Practice!?!?........What is practice again?"

Playoffs? Playoffs!?

 

[cuad]

Were the Kings playing zone?

 

[PurpleHaze]

Kings cutting it to 7 (5 earlier) but need to press Bulls at least as much as they "bully" us - and most importantly stop endless transition run outs. None of that is on the coaching staff of Kings!

 

[Henkel]

can we say cousins has become a good one on one defender?

His help defense has been great thus far as well.

Did you hear him in that interview? hes so uncertain with himself. When players ee that they lose confidence, at least put on some good acting and act like you know what your doing. Im sick of this coach. He sucks and he looks like bill clinton.

 

[Tetsujin]

Our team is suddenly not playing all that terrible

 

[xrzn]

Guaranteed split

 

[Henkel]

Tyreke isnt playing defense

He is capable of playing defense, which makes it even more frustrating.

 

[William Blake]

things are better when thornton/evans get the shots on offense intead of letting salmons drive inside everytime he touches the ball
