Kings Vs. Celtics Game Thread. 2/16, 7 p.m. PST

[Lafayette]

JT is playing ugly but he's hustling

 

[DeMoN]

JT needs to get rid of some of that finesse and throw the ball down for once.

 

[DeaconBlues]

Casspi has made some nice passes inside. Unfortunately none of the ones I've sen ended up in conversions.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Hawes.. Is playing some D.

 

[=LarryLegend=]

JT this year is soft around the rim. He was alot better around the rim last year.

 

[Merdiesel]

Hawes, Martin, Udrih, Sergio to name a few

I don't think so.
Thompson's lack of defense affects the game waaaay more than those guys. Dude commits more fouls than anybody in the league. Stupid fouls at that.

 

[piksi]

come on Spencer - that has to be "and 1" - it has to be you wuss!

 

[Tetsujin]

this is a good defensive scheme to allow Perkins to get the ball under the basket ad then just block him

Perkins makes JT look good.

 

[Lafayette]

Okay, looking good on some D, only one Celtic is killing and that is Betty Condo

and yet half of those fouls are offensive fouls which are dumb but have nothing to do with defense

Big men usually have more fouls than wing players and point gaurds, and he has a lot of offensive fouls also. I'm not trying to defend JT because he is playing really bad lately, but he's THAT bad on defense, although he isn't good.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Our starters are playing fine. Good, actually.

It's the bench that killed us. No offense aside from Udrih hurt us big time.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

I'm willing to bet I could block a JT jumper.

So easy a caveman can do it.

 

[Merdiesel]

Do they have a stat breakdown of offensive and defensive?..

 

[sc3252]

That was icing on the cake seeing them fumble that last play.

They're playing like us.

Is it just me or has Ray Allen gotten really really bad?

Boston isn't going anywhere anymore, they are too old. Its really showing now, I have a feeling during the playoffs they won't get far and they will start dumping players fast.

Dudes waaaaay better than you NOW. lol

Rondo is their one upstart star that is still on the upswing. Pierce can still play. KG is in full Chris Webber post injury mode. And Allen is just horrible. No wonder the Celtics fans are slobbering over K-Mart.

 

[=LarryLegend=]

Tyreke looks baddd with a head band.

It was always supposed to be a 2-3 year window for them after they went old, and this is year 3. Really turned out to be a 1 1/2 year window as once KG's knee went out, so did their legitimate chances. Still got a title out of it, rejoined the elite, so it was worth it. But what comes next was always probably going to be pain.

Sound familiar?

 

[Andriod_KiNg]

Would be a really big win if we can hang in there for the second half.

 

[piksi]

If I find time - I might look them up tomorrow

He averages 4 fouls per game and he leads league in offensive fouls as well as dumb fouls, unnecessary fouls, drive me crazy fouls etc...

 

[Fresno King]

Tyreke looks baddd with a head band.

Who looks good with one? Maybe Bibby?

 

[Ed2009]

Thank God Casspi is not playing H.O.R.S.E tonight..

 

[Tetsujin]

Perkins is the East Coast JT

 

[Tetsujin]

Nice effort by spence

 

[Merdiesel]

Love the effort Spence!!

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Hawes is playing very good defense tonight. That was a huge hustle play.
