Kings vs. Lakers pre season game 4

[rainmaker]

Cuz looks like he's 10% bodyfat or below. Impressive.

 

[spudfan]

The ball moves so poorly with this lineup.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

even in preseason games we gotta deal with ticky tack laker fouls

 

[The_Jamal]

Thank goodness Im watching the game. NBA TV companion has IT, Brooks, Thornton, Reke, and JT in the game right now

 

[Bricklayer]

Yay hero ball

No no. It worked beautifully last year. get with the Smart program.

 

[The_Jamal]

Last I checked, Reke and Thornton aren't top 5 players in basketball

 

[HereWeBoogie]

why is jimmer in before brooks........

 

[spudfan]

No no. It worked beautifully last year. get with the Smart program.

It was beautiful, wasn't it? Now that Jimmer is in to restore order, I believe the ball will move around the floor better.

 

[rainmaker]

Now Smart bring in Jimmer, instead of moving Reke to the 2. Intentionally going small at 1,2 and 3, and intentionally playing Reke at SF. Did I miss how this was somehow successful last year?

 

[spudfan]

I wish I could be in the group of people who can watch these lineups and think "It's just preseason, relax!" But this is a pretty atrocious use of our talent.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

gotta love MT23. the guys is all over the place, getting his hands on loose balls and rebounds

 

[sactownfan]

well outside of JJ's 3 PF's... that block on Kobe alone was the most encouraging thing defensively i've seen from a SF on this time in years

 

[flipray]

At this rate, I doubt Reke will ever develop. If I were him, I would demand a trade for not being used right.

 

[The_Jamal]

I must be watching a different game here. We're up 7, playing good basketball on both ends, but the sub patterns aren't working?

hmm

Because it's pre season, I'm not concerned with the score. I'm far more concerned with our strategy, and it seems to be the same f'ing strategy which failed repeatedly last year. Not the first practice or first pre season game anymore either.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

theres nothing i would like to see LESS than Jimmer, Hayes and Garcia on the floor at the same time.

hmm

It has nothing to do with the score. And the Lakers are shooting 26%, we are not up 7 because we are doing something good.

 

[Fireplug]

who is that clean cut white boy point guard, that just came in for the Lakers?

hmm

The Lakers are atrocious and have been losing every game in preseason by 20+.

The Anti-Jimmer

 

[Fireplug]

The Anti-Jimmer

haha

 

[Fireplug]

does tyreke think he has to jack up that contested 3 point shot so that the defender will push up on him making it easier when he's trying to drive

 

[HereWeBoogie]

why so many minutes for Jimmer/Garcia

and no minutes for Brooks wtf?

 

[HereWeBoogie]

they might have the lead, but i am thoroughly unimpressed. i dont see the same team i saw in the first 2 games

 

[sactownfan]

Evans has just looked God Awful... i really dont see any light yet for him

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Garcia seems like he is always starting crap with players on the Lakers. i guess thats all he can do since he's worthless in the game

 

[The_Jamal]

Great look from IT to Cousins

 

[spudfan]

What is it that makes you want to talk about Garcia all the time? He didn't start anything with anyone there. Cousins was pissed and took a swipe at Gasol, Garcia stepped in as what one could only guess was in a peace maker roll. Which is what he is known for.

Evans has just looked God Awful... i really dont see any light yet for him

Careful now...
