[Game] Kings @ Warriors 11/02/13 Game Thread

It's all relative with Thompson. Sure, he makes mistakes. No, he isn't great.

But compared to the other big men who have played for the Kings over the past few seasons he is undoubtedly one of the better ones.

For every mistake Jason Thompson makes Patterson misses 3 more jumpers, or fails to get 3 more rebounds.
 
What being a Kings Fan has taught me is that some fans make up their minds about some players, and that's all there is to it. There are some players whom, in some fans' minds, can do no wrong. And there are other players whom, in some fans' minds, can do no right.
 
JT isn't perfect and he makes mistakes. But you know what he doesn't do? He doesn't check out. He doesn't just quit playing. He doesn't pout. He's always out there hustling and trying his best. I'll take that over some of our other players any day of the week.
 
If the coaches want to create a new culture, the Salmons starting situation should be revisited. He's played poorly and more importantly, without any hustle.
 
The Kings barely have a backup caliber SF. Barely. Starter? forget about it.

I think Salmons could be a low end backup swing man, but man - if we just had a SF who could sit in the corner and hit a shot it would be a huge upgrade.

Honestly, seeing what Francisco Garcia did for Houston last year in the playoffs and early this season he was the best SF we've had since Artest. He'd be the best option at SF on this team, still.
 
I HATE 3 guard play... I don't care if it is "popular" as Jerry said. Butt chugging may be popular but it does not make up ending vodka in your derriere SMART.
 
None of the other starters were showing effort. Vasquez certainly isn't having a good game but it looks like he is trying.

Don't know that I agree. I've watched him let guys by him repeatedly on d with little effort. I'd rather punish the entire starting bunch as a group and play Jimmer.
 
Aight aight JT working
But IT that's a big mistake when ben gets the steal it's a 16pt game and GS defense is scrambled with Vasquez begging for the ball wide open for 3. IT looks for himself first by the time he pass Vasquez is guarded
 
I'd rather see three guards who are trying than Salmons and Thornton, who clearly weren't.
 
I hope Malone verbally abuses the entire team for playing like complete garbage, no defense, and worst of all for not playing like a team. The bad habits are embedded deep ... this may be a long season folks.
 
Kinda stupid for Jackson to leave his starters in. They're going to win this game...

I wondered as well if this had to do with a statement to Malone. He seemed a little agitated in the offseason when people were suggesting Malone was the tactics/brains behind their success.

No doubt about it. This WILL be a long season. But it doesn't mean every game will be horrible. It's been said repeatedly but it's gonna take a while for all the bad habits to go away.
