Kings vs Warriors (Preseason) Oct. 7, 2013 @ 7:30 PST - Happy Birthday Vivek!

Liking ITs offense but if you watch his defense, GS gets lots of baskets in the paint.

This is going to be our problem all season long because if we have Vasquez instead, the opponent would not post him up, but he will get passed very often in the one to one

 

[HereWeBoogie]

I know he missed that one, but he just got two wide open looks from the corner. If he can do that often it is going to be so nice for us.

yes! and his movement without the ball is great!

PS: Isaiah could have ally-ooped him on that last one before he ran to the corner

 

[VF21]

idk i have seen some of the same forced shots

I didn't say he was perfect. I think his body language is speaking volumes - like he's happy out there and not frustrated or defeated.

 

[spudfan]

This feels so weird!! We have only seen 10 guys get play time. And our starters have more minutes than our bench. Smart you have tainted my mind, these normal rotations feel so awkward to me now

Also, Cousins obviously needs to keep himself on the court.

 

[dude12]

Ben gets up and down the court for sure, very active. I like PPat on the court. I just think he sees the floor well, moves the ball, can knock down shots. Luc didn't get a lot of time. Want to see more of him. I don't know if it happens in this game or later, but would like to see some different lineups with Cuz.

As a whole the entire team seems to be moving the ball well and seeing the floor. The pace is good and not as frantic as last year. IT has had a couple forced shots, but other than that it has really been kept to a minimum. Much improvement all around in the team aspect of the game.

JT looked solid as hell, but it doesn't make sense to start him unfortunately with the current bigs we have.

Who would rather start, PPat?

 

[spudfan]

Atta boy John, don't let him dunk it on you.

 

[spudfan]

These refs are going a bit overboard on the offensive fouls. Let a bit of contact please.

 

[The_Jamal]

Thornton has got to cut those shots out. They're such low % shots

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Malones pre-season rotations are much tighter than Kieth Smarts tightest rotation in the middle of regular season

He seems to be getting a little bit antsy out there.

 

[VF21]

Here's to enjoying Kings basketball with so many returning Kings fans!

 

[The_Jamal]

Cmon Bogut... 1st game and you're pulling that crap?

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Bogut was grabbing and shoving cousins that entire possession and then grabbed him by the shoulder when his goofy ass got faked, and then he makes a stupid face when Cousins doesn't like it? get outta here Bogut

 

[VF21]

Okay, all this passing and looking for other players is starting to scare me.

If I was defending Cuz, that's what I'd do. That's the book on him. Cuz has to show he won't allow that type of play to get under his skin. I think he will as he continues to mature.

 

[spudfan]

That ball was off Lee's shin!

 

[The_Jamal]

Good D on Steph

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Jimmer hasn't even played yet, in a preseason game. lol. i knew his minutes were done when the Keith Smart circus left

 

[Sac.Kings]

Salmons still being Salmons... Not bad for a 1st preseason game under a new coach. Cousins seems a little flustered though...

 

[morsatun]

Is Landry injured?

 

[The_Jamal]

Good News. We're getting Cousins tons of ball in good spots.

 

[spudfan]

Is Landry injured?

Sore quad or hammy I believe.

 

[spudfan]

Nice aggressive move by Ben.

noticed that too. forcing the offense and not really getting the better of Lee or Bogut

 

[morsatun]

Thnks

 

[spudfan]

Too much dribbling IT.
