The game is NOT blacked out on CSNBA!!

 

[spudfan]

Check out that defensive anchor of ours!!!

 

[HereWeBoogie]

i know its VERY VERY early in one preseason game, but it already doesn't look like the same team at all.

 

[cuad]

Cousins looks like he's really trying to run back and play D. As long as he has the energy, he'll wreck teams that way.

 

[spudfan]

IT wasn't ready for that pass.

 

[spudfan]

IT looking good.

 

[The_Jamal]

Woooo

Pretty move IT.

 

[cuad]

DID YOU SEE THAT FAST BREAK?

 

[The_Jamal]

WHAT.

Did we just complete a fastbreak?

 

[spudfan]

Announcer: What a pass that was with the left hand by IT.

 

[spudfan]

WHAT.

Did we just complete a fastbreak?

Seriously.

 

[jaysoonii]

We have the lead???

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Yes, but another factor is defense. MT is pretty poor and it wouldn't be surprising to see MLM pass him up on that end by Christmas or the AS break. If he does that, unless he's really struggling on offense, case can be made to plug MLM into the lineup to improve team defense, especially if MT gets lit up the way he has previously combined with our defensive issues at PG.

We'll have a better idea a month from now though, obviously.

I don't think we have any idea what kind of defender MLM is, and I actually think we're going to need Thornton's offense this season.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

the defense is a night and day difference. getting through screens, getting hands on lose balls, hands in passing lanes.

 

[jaysoonii]

just kidding looking good, excited to see Ray !!

 

[Kings Faithful]

Lookin Good so far!!! Its only 1 quarter of 1 game, but DAMN!

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

So far so good? No one standing out, which isn't a bad thing. Everyone playing solid on both ends.

 

[spudfan]

the defense is a night and day difference. getting through screens, getting hands on lose balls, hands in passing lanes.

Only issue I see so far is Thornton is cheating off his guy a lot.

 

[spudfan]

Ben Ben Ben!

 

[The_Jamal]

New guy time!

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Mbah a Moute and McLemore in for Salmons and MT, i bet this is a starting 5 Malone is also heavily considering and thats why he did the subs this way

 

[spudfan]

Ben just exceeded his summer league assist total, there is hope!

 

[The_Jamal]

Interesting, going to Chuck over Landry

 

[spudfan]

Nice block. He got up there for that one.

 

[The_Jamal]

Bad pass from Ppat

 

[cuad]

Too bad they didn't want Toney Douglas

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Chuck seems to be the backup center .. for now.

 

[Sluggah]

I forgot chuck Hayes existed

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

.. And Toney Douglas :,(

 

[The_Jamal]

No Vasquez tonight?
