Kings vs. Warriors pre season game 3

Kings first half highlights:

Shooting Percentage: 34.2% (JT and Cousins a combined 2-11)
Turnovers: 13
Assists: 4
Personal Fouls: 17
 
Let's see if the Kings can regain their poise, show some maturity, and win this game. The first half sure sounded like the old immature brain-dead Kings.
 
It's wildly inconsistent, which is the problem. Easy calls are missed and terrible calls are made.

The ending to that half was UGLY.
 
any time that Jimmer is running the point the game is UGLY. if he even receives any minutes at all in real games, he better be playing off the ball as a spot shooter
 
i also notice that Smart's minute distribution was that of a pre season game, and Jacksons was that of a regular season game. Smart really needs to cement his rotation down pretty soon so that they get at least 1 or 2 games to get used to regular season type rotations. But with the way the refs seem to be calling the game, and the kings slopiness, glad im not watching this one.
 
How was the IT/MT pairing?

I personally want IT to play all 48, so pair him with anyone I say. That said the Marcus had a nifty move but looked meh. I don't see size issues a problem from my view (I'm three rows back behind true basket), more defensive lapses. A double or show of a double and boom someone is open for a three.

To answer you directly I think it'll work fine especially with a big(ish) front three.


And as an admitted Jimmer apologist, Jimmer is just bad. BAD.
 
Cuz needs to stop it with the 20ft shooting

edit: even when he makes them, I'd rather he be inside bangin, drawin fouls and getting those O boards.

Seems Smart is going the same route he went last year. Unless your name is Cuz, you are sitting on the bench most of the 2nd, if not all of it.
 
Preseason or not, the Warriors seem to have our number as of late dating back to last season. We don't no longer match up with them as good as we used to, although they went away from playing small ball so that might be the reason.
 
MUCH better start to the half here. Real nifty possession endin in a reverse by Reke. Aaron Brooks looks positively comfortable, which will be great with IT who's never seen uncomfortable.

omg that was SOOOOOO annoying last year. so many games were lost while the startes sat for the entire second quarter
 
DMC sure seems to be blocking more shots than he ever has before. im gonna attribute that to his weight loss, and keith smarts new emphasis on Defense
 
Hehe, the play by play had a sudden Boogie attack:


6:14
Golden State Warriors GS
Shooting foul on David Lee

6:24
Sacramento Kings SAC
DeMarcus Cousins offensive rebound

6:26
Sacramento Kings SAC
DeMarcus Cousins misses a layup

6:28
Sacramento Kings SAC
DeMarcus Cousins offensive rebound

6:29
Sacramento Kings SAC
DeMarcus Cousins misses a layup

6:31
Sacramento Kings SAC
DeMarcus Cousins offensive rebound
 
so this year I see Demarcus appears determined to keep his FG% depressed by chcuking up a bricked 3ptr or two every game.
 
i guess the positive is that as bad as the team seemed to be playing, they are right back in it. Last season a bad start like that and we would be down 20 to 25 pts in no time
 
Tyreke and Demarcus are a combined 5-22 from the floor. Not a winning combination lol. Thank goodness its preseason.

The play by play doesn't show the 5 fouls I counted. I'm sure I missed 1 or 2...
 
his jumpers looked pretty good in the first 2 games. tonight, everyone is missing everything so idk what to think lol

Yea maybe I'm just overhyped with all the work all the Kings players are doing, that I expect them to do great right away. Lucky its only preseason.
