[Game] Kings vs Pistons 3/14/12

[rainmaker]

Anyone know of a website which tracks blown asts? Does that stat exist? Would be interesting.

 

[Tetsujin]

The way Detroit's announcers are talking (and they're talking because their ****ty TV feed gave out) Demarcus is the biggest bust this side of Jamarcus Russell

 

[eflat]

One plus is if Jimmer gets traded...

...is his fans go with him.

 

[Tetsujin]

Is there any reason we aren't giving Reke the ball?

 

[Arkitect]

He was completely ineffective in the first half....Oh wait.

 

[Tetsujin]

Good D, IT. Sad sad sad

 

[rainmaker]

You know, just like playing IT/Jimmer at the same time didn't work because of defense, I don't think we can play IT/MT together either, for the same reason, never mind offense. Our defense at the point of attack is disgusting.

 

[BMiller52]

Don't know I'd want that selfish **** infecting our kids with his particular sense of entitlement.

Yeah there's no way a guy with multiple all star appearances and a title should feel entitled to anything! We'd be much better off without anybody like that, where we can just keep collecting young kids who play hard sometimes.

Nah for real though I might not make that trade either. Definitely wouldn't want Ray Allen either though because our record is too horrendous for him to help anything, we have too many guards, and he'd leave after the season. Seriously our season is over more or less.

It wouldn't be a big deal if we had a shotblocker and another good wing defender.

 

[Tetsujin]

We aren't going to win games when our backcourt forgets that there's a whole half of a game other than jacking up stupid shots.

 

[Tetsujin]

Good D MT. Way to stick with your man.

 

[rainmaker]

It wouldn't be a big deal if we had a shotblocker and another good wing defender.

It's never a good idea to have two below average backcourt defenders starting together. They don't just have poor fundamentals and positioning, but they're small as well. SF and a shotblocker might cover some of that, but it'd still be a problem. Playing one or the other off the bench also helps a great deal.

 

[Hadlowe]

21 point swing since the second minute of the second quarter.

 

[Bricklayer]

Glad we got to see what every single member of our team's crossovers looked like on the same possession, just for comparison's sakes I guess.

 

[swisshh]

If jimmer wasn't being held out of this game, this would be about the time you'd see him be inserted.

 

[Tetsujin]

On the plus side, if the team keeps putting up efforts like this, Keith Smart's days are numbered. On the negative side, it means that we're going to sign Alex English to a 50 year contract as head coach.

IT out for Salmons, Jimmer to ???

 

[Reke]

And 1 dribbling contest between reke and IT.. smh lol

 

[Tetsujin]

Hey a normal line-up now

 

[theclash4u5]

Smart isn't going anywhere, no matter how bad we look.

 

[TheWileyVet]

Jesus. Someone don't play like **** please

 

[Tetsujin]

I don't think Jimmer is being held out. He just pulled a Donte.

 

[Bricklayer]

teams do like to hit their jumpers on us don't they?

 

[BMiller52]

SF and a shotblocker might cover some of that, but it'd still be a problem. Playing one or the other off the bench also helps a great deal.

Well yeah I've always thought that Thornton's role could kind of be what Jim Jackson's was from 2003 or what Jamal Crawford's was with the Hawks. I know everyone thinks Jimmer sucks right now, and he has a lot to get better at, but I think his skillset compliments Tyreke pretty well, and at some point I'd like to see us get a SF like Nic Batum or something and have a Jimmer/Reke/Batum/PF not on roster/Cousins. But I don't know how likely that is.

 

[Hadlowe]

IT out for Salmons, Jimmer to ???

Lakers dumping Blake on Portland it would appear. Maybe the folks who hate his fans on here can hate him more in a Lakers jersey?

edit: Of course that's mostly sarcastic. It's more likely that we would be the Lakers' cap mule to bring in both Howard and D. Will.

 

[Tetsujin]

Detroit only hitting shots at a 58% rate. Whatever defense Smart is teaching our guys, it's working.

 

[Bricklayer]

IT out for Salmons, Jimmer to ???

We wre probably hoping to stiffen our ridiculous "defense". Did not work.

 

[bluntsnbball]

no jimmer or donte tonight, gotta love these f-ed up rotations. it really helps build chemistry when you have different players on the floor every game. oh and i love how salmons is the tallest guy on the floor for the kings right now. thats how you win games Smart, keep it up

 

[rainmaker]

Smart isn't going anywhere, no matter how bad we look.

Based on what? What happened to Theus/Natt/Musclehead/Westy?

My guess is we're paying two coaches at the same time one year from now. Just wasting money again.

Rule number one: Never ever trade with the ****ing Lakers.
