Kings vs Suns 3/29/11 Game Thread

[rainmaker]

Dalembert being Injured really hurts our ability to punish them on the glass like we would normally be able to do ... still though, the defense tonight has been embarrassing... It just has to be better than it is right now. They are getting easy baskets anytime they want.

What happened to Dally? Watching the pho broadcast.

 

[Tetsujin]

Cisco is killing us on D tonight.

 

[ArcoKings]

Can't watch tonight on TV. Can you guys tell me if there's a low turn out watching the game?

 

[BMiller52]

Suns announcers eagerly anticipating a move to Anaheim.

Wtf why? What are they saying?

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Between Evans, Cousins, and Thornton ... we have some very craft scorers and passers.

Bruised ribs.

Bruised Ribs - Questionable return .. I saw him holding his side when he was coming off the court, hasnt been in since.

 

[kingsboi]

Our scoring is perfectly fine, if we can play some defense maybe we can take a lead.

It doesnt look any lower than normal to me.

Yeah they are fun to watch, particularly Cousins. Almost every game he does something I have never seen a big man do.

 

[Tetsujin]

Oh hey look, we're actually going with a bigger lineup.

 

[rainmaker]

Damn. Tyreke with 4/7/6 in 12 mins. Not bad.

 

[kingsboi]

Somebody doesn't like getting back on defense apparently. Cousins with a stupid dribble move.

 

[Arkitect]

Our center is leading with our team in assists and our PG is leading the team in rebounds. Good stuff.

 

[TIG 19]

I like Evans passing the ball as he could`t found his shot there and Beno is staying infront of Nash very good so far!

 

[Tetsujin]

Our Big Three has scary scary potential. All 3 have delivered freakish passes tonight.

 

[rainmaker]

Cisco dropped a pass like that last game to. What's with the hands of stone?

 

[Tetsujin]

Cisco cannot play Hill.

 

[Tetsujin]

As much as I hate to admit it, I would rather have Reke running that 4-1 iso rather than Marcus.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Will someone remind Bill Walton this is a Sac Kings broadcast he's doing as he sings the praises of Lakers endlessly. Oh, never mind.

 

[kingsboi]

I don't know what that last play was there but whatever. Close game, I still wish we could play defense, the offense is there. Maybe in the second half they will wake up.

Wrong So Cal team

We were running a Tyreke play with Marcus in his place.

Only thing is with Reke no screeners come out, he either drives or shoots it. Dalembert came out for that play and he tried to split the double.

 

[vikinginferno]

Grant's laugh is as annoying as it gets... and did I see Bill Walton wearing a Lakers t-shirt underneath the Grateful Dead shirt?

He's not shy about his dislike of Tyreke's game either, lol.

There have been several occasions running that play where a screen did come out. In Tyreke's case, he would often eschew it in favor of going away from the double team. Marcus, however, actually chose to use the screen

 

[Bricklayer]

Damn. Tyreke with 4/7/6 in 12 mins. Not bad.

Not that Walton would have noticed. Am I the only one who has noticed him not only giving Reke a consistently hard time, but really largely ignoring him when he does do something good? There is a noticeable antipathy there that approaches snarkiness.

 

[TIG 19]

Beno should run pick n roll and not Marcus iso vs Hill!

Maybe one day Reke will be as good as Bill's son
