Kings vs Clippers 3/1/12

[BMiller52]

And ladies and gentlemen, that is the Jimmer we've been talking about.

He's a rookie going up against CP3 bro... he's going to have good moments and bad moments. He did kinda suck in the 4th though, I will admit it. I don't see why you guys are so quick to jump on him though. Were you so quick to jump on our other young guys when they've made mistakes???

btw we can't shoot tonight. IT, DMC, Thornton, have all missed or turned down open shots. We are getting pretty good shots though.

IT is looking like he ate too much pie today

 

[BMiller52]

Man CP3 just raped whoever was defending him.

 

[Blue Print]

Sometimes...

It really rips your heart out to get feeling good about this team.

how much of the breakdown here is due to the lineup we're using? how much of this is on the head of Smart?

 

[Spike]

IT looking to get double digit TOs tonight

He seems to be looking for his own shots, and he's not running the offense, and being abused by Paul. Must be a low BBIQ thing going on.

Chris. Motha. ****ing. Paul

Move him to the 3 spot

I don't think there is any doubt we have a better record with improved lineups and substitutions. How much better? Who knows.

3 shot attempts is looking for his own shot? what?

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Jimmer is A LOT less valuable as an undersized SG then he is as a PG. He needs to fix his handle.

 

[Tetsujin]

On the plus side, Blake isn't as good as Demarcus

 

[eflat]

Move him to the 3 spot

Gallows humor.

 

[cuad]

lol @ Evans attempting a post move .

Hassan better be in after this time out.

 

[Nighthawk1]

Coach remembered DMC was on the bench with 4m left!

 

[LoungeLizard]

Demarcus >>>>>>>>>> rest of team

 

[Tetsujin]

Demarcus >>>>>>>>>> rest of team

Demarcus>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>rest of the league.

We'd probably be better just forcing the ball to him every time we have the ball than having any semblance of an offense

 

[rainmaker]

What I really don't get, is Smart not playing his starters in the 2nd, and riding the bench too long. And then, when we're down 15+ with under 5 left, AND a game tomorrow, he keeps the starters in.

Dumb.

I agree. I think he will but it isn't good right now.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Something is going to have to give with Tyreke here at some point. He needs to be better. And I'm not putting it all on him, I'm just saying .. he needs to shoot better than 6-19 and he needs to cut down on the jumpers.

 

[Spike]

Even worse: how gassed will the starters be tomorrow?

 

[The_Jamal]

Yikes... Tyreke with a rough night

16 pts 4 boards 4 assists on 6-19 shooting and 4 turnovers.

 

[Bricklayer]

We are playing like crap. This team is beyond disappointing at times and it makes me sad and angry at the same time. Cousins is the only consistent King. Everyone else is on a far lower level. I think we have 20 different line-ups during one game. Come on pick a rotation Smart.

As an aside, I hope JJ is alright that was one heck of a fall.

Not sure I understand. youngest teamin the league, played a championship contender tight for 3/4. How does this equate ot being beyond disapointing etc.? I am seriously getting confused by Kings fans. Of course we lose this. A win would have been a gift. But its a loss on just anybody's calendar.

 

[The_Jamal]

Not at all? No one's played over 33 minutes

Yes Jimmer had 2 bad turnovers in the 4th but:
Jimmer 3 turnovers
Tyreke 4
IT 6

WHich of course looks amazing compared to some of his teammates

Yep.

Stop with the effing Jimmer posts.

Please

 

[rainmaker]

Christ, NOW is the time to play the bench. Why risk injury? WTF is this? Game in 22 hrs coach!

 

[The_Jamal]

Essentially only Cousins and Thornton came to play tonight along with Jimmer for 9 minutes

 

[Spike]

Bad news? Hassan time.
