[Game] Kings vs Nets, 1/5/13 7:30 EST Game Thread

The problem isn't JT and JJ won't solve anything. The problem is who is shooting and where, along with our defense.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Give me some Honeycutt.

I fear this is going to be get uglier and more frustrating by the time it's over. Granted the Nets are a very good team and we're mismatched at almost every position, most particularly at the PG, but there is a difference in the body language of the team tonight that's disappointing. And while I can understand Smart trying to find someone/anyone from the bench to try and get things going, the result is a total mishmash.

Keeping things in perspective, however, I'll still take this road trip as a giant step forward for the team, especially for DFC.

 

[The_Jamal]

So who do you want to blame for the offense not running through Cuz? IT or Smart?

Aaron Brooks

 

[spudfan]

Did you guys see that play? IT cheating off thinking of helping and gives DWill a wide open three. I highly doubt his job is to double on the guy posting there.

 

[rainmaker]

Aaron Brooks

Aside from not passing on fast breaks, Brooks had Cuz much more involved when Cuz returned in the 2nd. Right now IT is chucking and not running plays for Cuz.

 

[The_Jamal]

0-13 from Cisco, Outlaw, Hayes, Jimmer, and JJ. Other than that, everyone else is shooting pretty well. The problem is our lack of effort and defense tonight

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

This game is reminding me of something my LPO on my first ship used to say: one "Aw ****!" can take away a hundred "Attaboys!"

2 shots is chucking? Ok

 

[rainmaker]

2 shots is chucking? Ok

huh

this game is too easy for the nets

 

[VF21]

We just look pooped. No effort, no defense, no one really going after the hustle plays.

Four games in five nights on the road is tough, no matter what team you're talking about. The Nets are a much better team. Period. The Kings just don't have an answer for most of what's going on.

 

[The_Jamal]

Perfect example right there. We're getting majorly outhustled tonight on defense

 

[HereWeBoogie]

I hope a lot of trades are made soon

 

[1234kings]

I hope a lot of trades are made soon

forget trades, fire the coach

 

[HereWeBoogie]

That too but I think its obviously not gonna happen

Absolutely. Tonight would have been gravy if we could have pulled out the Win. We've made huge strides as a team on this road trip

 

[theclash4u5]

At least Cousins is having a good game again.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Cousins has to play the rest of the game for us to have any sliver of hope.

 

[spudfan]

When you play defense like this and leave guys wide open it makes it wayyyy to easy. Here is IT off his man for no good reason.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Cousins turns a pass that should have been a TO into a layup. Very nice hands.

 

[LWP777]

Good lord. Relax. It's one game. They are playing well the past few weeks.

Best hands since Webb.

 

[1234kings]

gahhh just when I thought we would be able to cut the lead into a chance of hope it gets destroyed.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Outlaw is so crappy

 

[Glenn]

Best hands since Webb.

JWill had huge hands also. He put them to different use though.

 

[LWP777]

DMC is quietly beasting again tonight! Should help his trade value dramatically!

 

[theclash4u5]

Garcia is playing terrible, I can't remember the last time we had someone from the bench step up recently.

 

[VF21]

Regardless of the final score, I am going to take heart from how well DFC is playing. There's something special happening right before our eyes and people need to quit focusing on little stuff that doesn't matter. DFC is exploding onto the scene in the right way night after night after night. He's putting other teams on notice. When Reke gets back, very special things could happen. Grab a seat and hold on, fellow Kings fans. We could be in for a very interesting ride.

 

[spudfan]

Cousins so good.
