[Game] Kings vs Jazz Game Thread 2/7/11

[gunks]

Alright Westphal, draw up a turrible play so we can bump the thread callin for your head.



..Or Reke can hit a midcourt buzzer beater again, I missed the last one.

 

[Krunker]

Hmm, 20 TO's

 

[cuad]

Dalembert showing off that sky high BBIQ

 

[Tetsujin]

Why didnt Dalembert just pass that rather than take the stupid 15 ft putback?

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Ugh. Hard to knock Dally... he got the rebound, but what a terrible shot. He is such a gifted athlete, but he makes so many bonehead decisions.

 

[FaStRmAn]

Why can't Jason Thompson cleanly catch a ball ever? Why does he fumble nearly every ball he touches? Why does he pass to other players feet? He is flat out clumsy!

 

[Capt. Factorial]

With no timeout, we've got to go for a three here. I think a quick two is no good, because we won't have time to score the second time.

 

[Tetsujin]

Dalembert showing off that sky high BBIQ

This. Genius

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Huh? thats your play? ...

 

[Tetsujin]

Omri. What was that?

 

[cuad]

lol what a crappy play.

 

[The Hammer]

Damn.

 

[xrzn]

Did Westphal even draw up a play? Or did he just tell them to get the ball to Casspi and have him shoot the second he gets it? At least try and get him an open look.

 

[captain bill]

Dalembert really needed to reset - with 8 seconds on the clock there is no way he should be taking a rushed shot that far out.

And CASSPI??? WTF are we letting him shoot in this situation for? Ball needed to go to Evans or maybe Beno- if there's one thing Casspi has proven, it's that he can't hit a clutch shot when we need it.

 

[rainmaker]

C'mon Omri. Not blaming him for missing it. But missing it by 3 ft? He got it off clean.

 

[Fear the Putin]

off balance contested 3 while drawing the defense towards you?

geez...

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Huh? thats your play? ...

Casspi set a distractor screen and then popped out, but it didn't fool anybody. Would have liked to have seen Donte on the floor there as an option instead of, say, Head.

It's not like Omri didn't have the chance to pass the ball either. There were still 5 seconds on the clock when he threw that airball up

 

[PurpleHaze]

Beno get the ball and no one, absolutely no one is setting a screen. Then whole play breaks down with Casspi having to off balance a shot that never had the slightest chance. This Kings team are dumb team that's unable to execute in crunch time - ever!

 

[LakersStink]

Well at least we know why his last name is Caspi...he shoots like the basket is the Caspian Sea.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Again, lots of good stuff in here. Reke was good. Cousins is an animal. JT looked good in his first game back. Udrih was solid.

We should have won this one. The bench was garbage in the fourth, Cousins had some bad calls go against him late. And everyone looked too scared to shoot it when the Jazz went to that zone. Very annoying, very frustrating, but at least the future of this team showed up, and it was the role players who kind of killed us this time. On to the next one.

 

[steelevt]

horrible shot

 

[Tetsujin]

Probaby would have been better off with Jermaine Taylor shooting that rather than Casspi. At least we'd be expecting that from him

You really don't have that many option when the other team knows you need a 3, and they only guard the 3pt line, and they also have the option of fouling and sending you to the ft line for 2. Omri had the clear option to pass to Tyreke, and there was time on the clock, but he decided to pull the trigger, and choked.

 

[King-Da-Yah]

I feel like a jerk hoping for lins, while I check to see is Minny and the Cavs (yah freaking right) won. But such Is the life of a Kings Fan.

Hey gunks, I will take a Tyeke half courter over an Omri sidewinder prayer any day of the week! Nice play WP!

i bet you could have thrown up a shot better than that. that was no where near the basket

IT was actually an attempted alley-oop gone wrong

I'm about ready too start rooting for lins again. After they beat L.A. and New Orleans, I said was done rotting for lins unless they lost 5 or 6 in a row again. With Dallas and OKC coming up, that could very well happen.

 

[gunks]

Westphal rode the crap lineup too long in the 4th. 9pt lead lost just like that.

Ah well. Next up, the Mavs. Its not like they're a hot team or anything...Oh wait.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Garcia will help this team when he comes back, provided he plays his natural position (SG). Would have absolutely been on the court during the final possession, and would have hopefully scored a few buckets for the bench in the fourth when the Jazz went on their run. We really only have 2 three point shooters right now in Udrih and Casspi.
