[Game] Kings vs. Suns 3/8/13

[HereWeBoogie]

well they have been playing better lately. Suns not so much, so this SHOULD be a win. but who knows what will happen.

Suns already dont have an impressive front court, and tonight they are without Gortat, which puts Cousins up against Scola at the Center, if he doesn't dominate this game there is a problem

"You kind of expect anything here," Cousins said when asked if he was surprised about his minutes.

Sad but true.

 

[kingsnation]

I want to see more of Toney and Pat tonight.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

me too. but knowing Keith, we will probably see Jimmer and JJ instead. or Outlaw or something

Hoping for a better result, let's see what happens

 

[Kingsnbucs1987]

Why is Reke collapsing, he doesn't need to

 

[mac]

Does Tyreke really have to double EVERY single guy in the post? Come on coaches, at some point you have to address this issue! We're 60 games in for goodness sake.

He does it every game. Wonder why the coaches don't tell him to stop doing it.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

barbeque chicken "shaq voice". people who watch NBA on TNT will get the reference.

 

[Glenn]

Maybe they are telling him to do it.

I don't know maybe the coach is telling him to help when they are in the post, but if the coach isn't telling him to stop, then I'm thinking the coach is telling him to do it.

don't you remember Keith Smart's quote on defense? he said its 2 things, guard the paint and rebound, clearly the coach doesnt care about guarding 3's

 

[Kingsnbucs1987]

Maybe they are telling him to do it.

Could be. Kinda seems like all our perimeter players do it if the ball is on their side

I shouldn't give Smart the benefit of the doubt, but he can't be that absent minded, could he?

need to play D, allowing way too many open shots.

 

[Glenn]

We'll have to put off the whining about Cuz and Reke for awhile.

 

[flipray]

Coach doesn't want Reke to reach all-team defense so he tells him to cheat everytime. Anyways, looks like Reke and Cuz are determined to play tonight

 

[Kingsnbucs1987]

Reke and Cuz are off to a good start, hopefully it continues.

Still haven't heard Smart say anything publicly about us leaving shooters too much. And judging by our zone defense where the 3 and 4 baseline guys are supposed to help down on bigs and rotate to the paint without anyone rotating from up top to cover the corner 3, and instead wants the 3 and 4 guy to recover, Smart's comfortable leaving 3pt shooters.


Dragic is good.

Edit: Saw Glenn brought that up.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Salmons is turning into a chucker

That's what I was thinking, but didn't want to believe it

 

[gunks]

Uh oh, Beasley....If he played us every night he'd be a lock for the HOF.

 

[rainmaker]

Awesome.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

they have gone away from running the offense through Cousins. who the Suns have no chance of guarding

 

[HereWeBoogie]

i like this lineup

 

[1234kings]

i like this lineup

we'll have to enjoy it until the 2nd quarter.

That just shows what a brilliant coach Smart is. He goes away from whats working before the opposing team has a chance to adapt defensively and take it away from us!

Very, very clever.

 

[Kingsnbucs1987]

Dragic already has 6 assists, I didn't even know that

Dragic is blowing by IT. He's not scoring so it doesn't look like IT is playing bad D, but guys have had to help or foul on Dragic's penetration because IT is getting stuck on all sorts of screens or just getting beat.
