Kings vs the Suns, 1/23/13

[Tetsujin]

Going to be honest. I didn't watch the game against the Hornets so no insight or awards from me. Sorry.


And yes. The Kings do apparently still play basketball.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

This has been a weird week. Basketball has never seemed more secondary, and I don't even live in Sacramento.

Well, this should be a win, but we'll see.

Nice lead pass by IT and nice play by REke after the initial miss

 

[Tetsujin]

Reke is rolling tonight

 

[Tetsujin]

T-Rob and Cuz pretty much refusing to let the Suns have a rebound

 

[LWP777]

DMC always gets owned by Gortat

Unfortunately they're also refusing to pass the ball out to reset the offense..

Isaiah needs to stop trying to make plays for himself on like every possession

Methinks you're forgetting a certain game.

 

[The_Jamal]

There's a noticeable difference in energy with Trob in the game over JT. 5 boards in 4 minutes+ several great hustle plays.

T-Rob's definitely starting to prove himself.

 

[Tetsujin]

Darren Rovell = ***hole

 

[LWP777]

Wow. I don't think IT has ever looked worse than this first quarter.

 

[Tetsujin]

Hmmm. Tyreke was playing good, which means that he definitely needs to be the first guy subbed out.

 

[The_Jamal]

Wow. I don't think IT has ever looked worse than this first quarter.

Everyone but Tyreke and Trob have looked really flat.

Always happens. I hope he gets back in around 5-6 min mark, but seriously you can never tell with this coach.

 

[The_Jamal]

So tired of Brooks.

 

[mac]

I personally do not think we will win if we keep trying to force an uptempo game. Just keeps resulting in TOs

 

[The_Jamal]

Trob runs a break better than any of our guards

 

[1234kings]

So tired of Brooks.

same here

 

[mac]

Btw, did you know that with the Thunder on a 17-2 run against the Clippers and up 7 Scott Brooks put Durant back in at the 10 min mark of the 2nd quarter?

 

[mac]

Jimmer, please. Oh, I have an idea. Give out free tacos every time Hayes gets a board

 

[1234kings]

Time to put evanssssssss goooooodnessss

 

[The_Jamal]

One thing that's always irked me is how little Trob and JJ have really gotten to play together off the bench. They play really well off each other on both ends

 

[Tetsujin]

T-Rob playing perhaps his best game as a pro.

 

[mac]

We should bring Evans in for Brooks now.

the subs we hope for never happen

 

[mac]

the subs we hope for never happen

It's ridiculous, he played very well in the 1st and has already been on the bench for 8+ min of GAME time. Seriously Smart treats him like frikin Rasheed Wallace or Kurt Thomas or something

 

[Tetsujin]

Travis Outlaw was set to check in. At this point, Smart is purposely trying to sabotage the team, isn't he?

 

[The_Jamal]

Turnovers are still a bit of a problem for Trob, but we have to be encouraged by what we're seeing. He's dominating the boards, shown some nice offensive moves and mad some great passes to boot.
