[Game] Kings vs The Philadelphia Spencers 3/24/13 6PM PST (HWB Part II)

Oops. I must never doubt Keith Smart again. Grant just said he made one of the most amazing shots in NCAA history some 26 years ago...

And I thought his credentials were suspect. My bad.
 
...sigh... Hey Isaiah? Those other guys with the solid white jerseys are on YOUR team. You can go ahead and pass them the freaking ball once in a while. Honest. I wouldn't lie.
 
On the one hand, I'm looking at this, thinking, "Again? Seriously?" On the other hand, the trademark Kings "defense" against three-pointers may have just given me a come-from-behind playoff win in one of my public leagues. Down 4-5, with threes as the only category I had a mathematical chance to pick up, I got Dorell Wright off the waiver wire. Arron Afflalo going down for the season may have, ironically, saved my bacon.

I honestly believe that this is what Keith Smart wants. He wants them to cheat in the paint and leave shooters open. I look at Coach Smart's face when this sequence occurs and he's not overly pissed as he would be for something he really "preaches". Other teams feast on this because they know he doesn't adjust his offensive and defensive schemes in-game. It's crazy!
 
I didn't think I could be more bored than I am when listening to Smart's post-game comments. It appears I was greatly mistaken. I feel very sorry for G-man who sat there and acted as though he was fascinated by Smart retelling the story of his moment of greatness. That was the half-time special.

I have no more words...
 
Wasn't able to catch the first half, but how did the fans react to Spencer Hawes being introduced? And what is the announced attendance?

Attendance hasn't been announced. Spencer Hawes has received the reception he deserved - every time he steps on the court and especially when he's at the foul line. As tweeted a few minutes ago, "Hey, Spencer, at least they know who you are." LOL!

PatPat seems willing and able to set a pick. Unfortunately, I think Smart fines him if he does it.
I can just imagine Smart watching Patterson and Aldrich setting screens, thinking to himself, "I'm going to break y'all of that bad habit, if it's the last thing I do!
 
Still think that bandage on JT's eye is having a major impact on his depth perception and shooting.
 
Word getting out about the banned signs:

@CrownDowntown send me some pics of the signs that weren't allowed in.

According to ESPN's box score, they gave Evans an assist on Thomas' layup? Okay, sure. A little bit of home cooking but, whatever.
