[Game] Nets @ Kings - 11/18/12

[spudfan]

I never really considered either guy an NBA starter. I thought Thomas had the potential to be that, and with Brooks out of the NBA for a season it was hard to tell with him. Neither have played well this season, though.

I'd like Reke, MT, Salmons, JT, Cousins myself .. mostly because Salmons has been a much better role player version of Salmons this season. If this was the Salmons of old it wouldn't work.

Ya I hear ya. I thought if Brooks could play like he was before going to China he would easily pass IT in the rotation. I wouldn't mind having the REKE-MT-SALMONS-JT-COUSINS either... at this point I am kind of bummed out with how the season is going. Even if it is early, I wouldn't mind us playing whatever lineup we think has the most promise in the future. If our bench ends up getting killed, so be it. Let whoever the coaches/management think is the future of the organization gel and grow. Worry about the bench/deficiencies in the offseason + next draft.

I'm actually happy I'm not getting the Sac broadcast today. Tired of the fluff from Grant/Jerry.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Another very important game.

Lets go.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

just our luck. gerald wallace is back.

really not liking the way we match up defensively with this Nets team

 

[rainmaker]

Well, national media already questioning Brooks on DWill.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Evans opens on Wallace, hmm. I suppose I like it. Evans is bigger than Salmons at this point. Salmons looks very thin this year.

 

[cuad]

1rst possession: Cousins brings the ball up the floor like a PG. That's why they'll never be good. I don't even care about the Slamons brick...

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Brooks is actually doing a good job of creating here.

 

[rainmaker]

Lopez looks pretty smooth.

Fresno represent!

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Great pass by Salmons.

 

[Chicken Chaser]

How is Aaron Brooks getting those shots to drop? Sooo lucky lol

 

[flipray]

Lovin' everything I see so far. Hope it keeps up for 48 min

 

[The_Jamal]

Can't complain so far!

 

[hrdboild]

Wow, talk about night and day. We're actually looking like a team out there.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Cousins looks sloppy / sluggish again tonight.

 

[rainmaker]

Wow, talk about night and day. We're actually looking like a team out there.

Yes we do. Let's see how the 2nd goes though. That's usually our weakest quarter.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Love that coach!

How about now?

I missed the start of the game as I was outside getting some firewood into the house. Now I have a conundrum...

The Kings are doing well and I'm not watching. Do I risk the jinx karma thing and watch OR do I just follow this thread and not take the chance? It's pretty bad when things have deteriorated to the point where I'm afraid to watch when they're doing well.

 

[VF21]

How about now?

Hrm...Does this mean the jinx karma thing has already been triggered?

Pulls all our starter and NJ now killing us inside.

Bigger question is how long starters are benched.

12:00 3rd

 

[pupsingh]

ok i take it back

 

[flipray]

12:00 3rd

Let the icing begin.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

This is going to happen with Hayes / Trob on your bench. Both guys are undersized for any big position. One major reason why JT makes a lot of sense on the bench, but with him playing so well that's hard to do.

 

[rainmaker]

So, we go away from what was working, sub out all our starters and NJ goes on a 13-4 run, consisting of many layups.

We got destroyed by Andre fing Blatche. I've lost all hope for this team if Blatche can destroy us inside

 

[hrdboild]

Does any other coach in the league sub out his entire starting lineup with 2 minutes left in the first quarter when we're clearly winning the matchups? Come on coach, sub out 2 guys -- you had a good thing going.
