[Game] Kings vs. San Antonio Spurs 3/21/14, 7 pm PDT

Travis Outlaw may in fact be our most effective offensive player tonight. That's pretty much all you need to know about this game

I thought Ben was having an overall efficient night offensively despite the fact his hands are made of linoleum floor tiles.

 

[KingMilz]

DeMarcus needs to keep shooting that jumper he might make one eventually, I mean he's been on fire outside the paint all season long with that jumper......

 

[HereWeBoogie]

It's not a question of what I can see; it's a question of what I care about. I don't really give a **** about offense, and I never have. If we were averaging seventy-nine points a game, I still wouldn't care about offense.

I want to see us consistently playing defense, like we are tonight. The offense will take care of itself most nights. And, on the nights when it doesn't, I'll take my chances with defensive effort.

You aren't going to beat anyone playing offense like this regardless of our defense. Spurs are shooting 33% tonight and look at the score

He's definitely in our top 3 most reliable parimeter shooters. not just in this game

 

[Tetsujin]

On the plus side, IT's inability to make a shot seems to have spread to Tim Duncan

Solid point. Forget about him since he's sitting on the bench with 5 fouls

 

[Tetsujin]

Outlaw giveth, Outlaw taketh away

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Please put McCallum in

I'd much rather the Kings played defense like this on a consistent basis, and live with the occasional absentee offensive performance. We don't play the Spurs every night, and this quality of defense will beat twenty-five teams in the league, most nights, even if we're not scoring.

Cousins having another one of his "I can block shots!" nights

Here's comes forceball from IT. Bet the farm on it

No it won't it will beat the Bucks/76ers and a few other rubbish teams who are missing key players, with the low IQ basketball we play we are not beating 90% of the L regardless of defence cause we will ruin it playing garbage basketball at the other end.

 

[Tetsujin]

IT's FT syndrome spread to Manu

 

[Kingster]

IT is playing ball. Now if he can get some to join..

A defensive effort that can hold the most efficient offense in the league to 34.8 percent shooting will beat most teams in the league on any night. The key is getting it consistently.

id love to see them play D like this every night too, but come on they have 57pts at the end of 3.Even with good D they won't beat anyone scoring at that rate. Even with great defense in this league you are going to give up around 90ppg

 

[Kingster]

Ridiculous number of missed assists in this game.

Not quite sure you're watching the same game as the rest of us.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

I can't believe they overturned that 3 point shot. Really a bad call

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Spurs are about to slam the door shut on this one

 

[enigma99a]

I can't believe they overturned that 3 point shot. Really a bad call

Did you see the replay? I haven't yet

 

[Glenn]

Not quite sure you're watching the same game as the rest of us.

No kidding.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Did you see the replay? I haven't yet

Yes, it looked like he got it off. Definitely not enough evidence to overturn it

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

No it won't

Yes, it will. Portland, Denver, Golden State, Minnesota, Phoenix, etc, are not teams that can win when their shots aren't falling. Those are midling-to-poor defensive teams, that rely on their offense. When they're not scoring, they can't win. Those are not teams that can win when they shoot thirty-five percent. Indiana, Memphis, San Antonio, Miami, Chicago... these are teams that can beat you, shooting thirty-five percent. Hell, I'll give you OKC, Charlotte, Houston and the Clippers, too. And that's it. So, yeah, I guess it's not twenty-five... it's twenty. The rest of the teams in the league all need to score to beat you.

 

[Kingster]

Spurs bench is considerably better.

 

[enigma99a]

Yes, it looked like he got it off. Definitely not enough evidence to overturn it

Contender team call I guess

 

[Glenn]

Yes, it looked like he got it off. Definitely not enough evidence to overturn it

The only problem is that the refs definitely disagree with you.

 

[KingMilz]

Spurs bench is considerably better.

Than our starters?
