At least we're passing better, this is true but we have a bunch of sketchy passes in a row but it always ends up in an iso-play it's never a cut to the hoop

Insert generic bitching and moaning about how we should have gotten Rubio or Thabeet instead here

 

[rainmaker]

I bet he is still not 100% after the injury.

Maybe, but still would like to see him attack more. Get some ft's.

 

[Arkitect]

The team knows they are supposed to pass, but they aren't sure when.

 

[The_Jamal]

Why do refs always let **** go against us?

 

[Tetsujin]

Tyler Hansborough deciding to take eyes as souvenirs.

What?

 

[Sac.Kings]

Thornton is truly selfish. Who takes a shot like that?

Yes, because this is on Tyreke that we're only down 4...
P.S. Thabeet, really? Rubio is a fine at least arguable right now.

 

[The_Jamal]

Well, the ball movement looks a ton better, but our problem remains the same. We can't make wide open shots

 

[nickmcclure]

Truth be told absolutely no one was open

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Would have been a good quarter if we just hit our damn shots. Too many missed tips/layups/threes.

Overall, I think the defense has been something we can live with, and the ball movement has been decent.We aren't getting to the line either.

 

[The_Jamal]

Turnaround fadeway bank shot from Greene?

 

[Tetsujin]

It was sarcasm.

Why not?!

 

[nickmcclure]

yay for passing on the break!

[The_Jamal]

Love the energy/hustle we're playing with

 

[nickmcclure]

It was sarcasm.

damnit, lol.

 

[Arkitect]

Gorgeous. 4 Kings touch the ball on the break.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Why Jimmer is playing over Isaiah right now it baffling to me.

 

[The_Jamal]

Hickson needs to pass the ****ing ball. Stick to jumping high on oops

did Isaiah do something to land him in Smart's doghouse?

 

[rainmaker]

Yeah he does. Proving his career .6apg average is well deserved.

How was Jimmer's defense in college? Was it this bad?

Jimmer's a 1st round pick, Thomas is the 60th pick. Simple as that

 

[pupsingh]

yes he did. being drafted 60th and not 10th

 

[Sac.Kings]

Hill scored twice on successive possessions immediately after he came in. I get the feeling the Pacers were waiting for that. I just don't think he is ready for major minutes right now, but I am ok with about 10 minutes a game

 

[rainmaker]

I'd have to think Jimmer is showing well in practice, and it hasn't translated to game for whatever reason.

Jimmer didn't play D in college. His coach literally told him not to expend energy on the defensive end so he could focus on scoring
