Kings vs. Lakers Preseason Game 5

[annihilator_33]

damn....Cuz with 3 fouls already

 

[HereWeBoogie]

with how lethargic the Kings have looked and how many fouls have been called, its pretty nice to see they are only down 2

 

[The_Jamal]

Great effort from our squad to only be down 2. Lakers are getting the FT line if we fart on them while they're allowed to mug us on the other end

 

[rainmaker]

Some are complaining, but I'm pleasantly surprised with the lineups and sub patterns so far. Like the strategy from Smart. To me hat's more important than the score.

 

[SacTownKid]

Next time somebody wants to knock Hayes for missing a layup or not finishing as the number 1 post option, watch the last two sequences against Gasol, that's how a coach with any semblance of talent scouting ability would use him. Was it a spectacular block? Was it a live by the sword die by it steal? No, just called putting a body between the man and the hoop and putting an end to the damn dunkfest.

 

[Entity]

Well they are obviously frustrated by the awful calls. You can't defend them or its a foul. Why play 82 games nba wants Miami vs la lets just do it now f***

IT
JJ
Cuz
T-Rob
Reke

Anyone notice how that lineup works 5x as well as the others combined?

Must have missed the last game.

 

[Kingster]

I'm not please with the brain-dead play. If the Kings can prevent themselves from throwing the ball away or fouling out in the first half, they can play well against this team.

im definitely happy with the lineup and rotation. just not happy with the sloppy passing, and the bad defense. the bigs keep staying out on the 3 pt line on screens and let Howard/Gasol roll into the paint wide open!

 

[Kingster]

It's like the Kings are saying, "OMG, I'm playing against Dwight Howard and Kobe and Nash...OMG!"

Let's be honest though, this is the first time they've seen this kind of defense since last season at the least. Training camp and Por/GS doesn't prepare you to face D12, on top of everyone else they have. Some poor passes though.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

i feel like our second unit should be able to outplay MOST second units in the NBA

 

[rainmaker]

Nice play! Mt missed, but I like the curl action.

 

[WALTtheWIZ]

i havent been a down as others have been with hayes this preseason. he does a lot of things well, especially man post D. He moves the ball well on offense but is otherwise useless on that end

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Chuck, please do not shoot the ball, ever. unless its a putback or dunk. thank you

Not being able to stop a slow break isn't exactly confidence inducing. Maybe as the game goes on they can play with some poise.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

JT is getting schooled by a 60th draft pick on both ends....... i like the hustle though

 

[Entity]

Some of act as if gasol and Howard have 30 pts gasol has 6 Howard has 4. Were you expect those two not to score?

 

[Kings Faithful]

I think overall we look pretty good. Still some work to do but we look much improved from the trash of past seasons. I mean we are neck and neck with one of the best teams in the league...and one of the most talent stacked in NBA history.

i just dont like the defensive strategy being used against the 2. and if this is how they plan to play D against them in real games im gonna be scared

 

[Entity]

And yes as far as a bench of outlaw Thompson brooks and Thornton. That's 4 guys that have been starters

 

[Kings Faithful]

Outlaw... are you effing serious... wide open lane and he chooses to take a crappy jumpshot.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

did i just see a foul called on the Lakers? oh wait it gets Howard and Nash back in the game. now it makes sense

 

[The_Jamal]

Chuck Hayes!

 

[Kings Faithful]

Chuck hayes is a Dwight Killer.... reason enough to play him.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

nice D chuck

 

[Kings Faithful]

Brooks scoring ability is very welcome here...

 

[HereWeBoogie]

lets see how our second unit can hold up against the Laker stacked starting lineup now

 

[HereWeBoogie]

and if Smart uses his last years strategy of leaving the starters on the bench the ENTIRE second quarter once the regular season starts, im gonna lose my mind

 

[Kings Faithful]

Outlaw bring zero positive impact when he is in the game....
