Donte Green Welcome Back!

He never was here before...I think he might be telling the coaching staff that he doesn't want to go to Reno!

 

[AussieKing]

Donte looking pretty good the last couple nights!

That's good to hear, but about time.

 

[IDidntDoDat]

Jason Thompson with ANOTHER missed easy layup... Not saying hes playing bad, but DAMN work on that stuff buddy

 

[6th]

Donte has 9 pts in 6 min. Any idea on # of rebs?

 

[rainmaker]

damn. donte is playing both ends of the court.

 

[6th]

Oh, great block from behind by Donte

 

[Kings Faithful]

This season is already much better than last season... so many problems have been fixed.

Rebounding - Great
Turnovers - Good
Ball Movement - WIP but looks promising
Another scorer besides Kmart - Tyreke
Shooting - Our scorers are scoring pretty good, Casspi adds another deep threat.
Defense - WIP but alot of good defense sprinkled in there.
Donte Greene - Uknown, but has impressed during his playing time so far.
Beno - Playing Great

Their are still a few problems that I don't think are solved yet like...

Hawes and Thompsons inconsistency
Injuries - Kmart and Garcia
Closing out games - better but not great yet.

Overall its more than you could've hoped for.

Dare I say it?!?...We're blowing the Warriors out!!

 

[Kings Faithful]

Jason Freaking Thompson Inbounds Allyoop! Holy Crap!

 

[6th]

[Sac.1989]

[Larry89]

[Sluggah]

[OptimusRhyme]

ummmm i think donte green should be playing just a little bit more...

 

[Circa_1985_Fan]

Holy ****!!!! Jason!!! haven't seen that from the Kings in AGES!!!

 

[LoungeLizard]

I freaking love these kids....what a play by Green to Thompson!!!!!!!!

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Great play Westphal.

 

[Dreadnought]

The last time I was this excited to watch the Kings, it was 2004.

 

[The Hammer]

If you don't like that, YOU DON'T LIKE KINGS BASKTBALL!!!! Alley OOOOP!! With .4 left on the clock to close out the third!!!

----

And with this team, I pose this question to you all:

Do you see what I see??

 

[rainmaker]

is that 3 straight double doubles by JT?

 

[KingsCitizen]

Dayum...Westphal is teaching these kids pretty good stuff...

I like what I'm seeing....GO KINGS!

 

[Sac.Kings]

It is a pleasure to watch this game. I havent said that about the kings in a long time.

 

[xyrin]

I'm absolutely loving the look of these new Kings. Exciting, spirited play by them all. They're really hustling, it's an extremely fun thing to watch.

 

[Sac.1989]

dam straight, benos looking great, rekes going hard, JT, donte and casspi playing well. Ball movements going. This is kings basketball how it should be

 

[One B]

Guys don`t need Martin! They are playing better D without him and everybody is involved in offense. The ball is moving-everyone has a chance to score and to be dangerous...

 

[The Hammer]

who IS this team.

This is the KINGS BABY!!

 

[Prince_XY]

I am watching the dawning of a new era of good Kings Basketball.

Nice play by Donte Greene and Jason Thompson !

 

[SkinnerBox]

I really LOVE this team. Haven't seen basketball this good since the good years.

 

[miltonap]

The last time I was this excited to watch the Kings, it was 2004.

agreed. I have never been this excited about the team since the old days. A lot of the problems I saw in the past year have been fixed. Our ball movement has been way better, our defense has improved, and we are much more aggressive and energetic. kudos to westphal.

2006 for me, playoffs vs the Spurs.
