[Game] Nets @ Kings Game Thread -- 11/19 @ 7PM

i thought westphal was tightening up the rotations?

Eh, he did for the most part. I cant kill him tonight. Jackson came in at the end to keep everyone out of foul trouble. The fact that he went to Cousins with 2 fouls says alot about him tightening things up.

It's obvious to see that Tyreke's confidence is hurting right now. Lack of mental confidence sometimes hurts a player more than an injury, and that's what we're seeing. This guy has never been "explosive", but he's known for getting to the rim and finding ways to finish. We're not seeing any of that this year and hopefully it's just a slump and he will shake out of it soon. This team needs a confident Tyreke Evans. His leadership or lack there of is going to determine the success of this team.

Greene is a team leading +8 tonight.

 

[Rockmeister]

What a nice halftime segment.....Jim Gray interviewing Marv Albert. <sarcasm>

 

[PurpleHaze]

it did get better. and would you rather have cousins pick up his 3rd with a min left in the half?

Exactly. I thought it was interesting that Cisco was put in for Donte on last O possesion that resulted in a hoop by Reke to cut it to a 3 pt Nets lead at half.
Unfortunately, it almost became a disaster as both Reke and Cisco let Farmer jet to the rim on other end for a basket he should have made at buzzer.

PW is obviously going to be using Casspi as an emergency defensive stopper...

yeah, i jumped the gun and posted that, it did make sense for jackson to come in

 

[davidfriedlander]

Why is Casspi boycotted today?

 

[rainmaker]

donte and head all ready making their presence felt on defense!

 

[davidfriedlander]

dalembert is a good defensive player but he can't score for the life of him.

 

[annihilator_33]

dalembert is a good defensive player but he can't score for the life of him.

yeah, dalembert has missed a couple point blank shots

 

[Lockehead]

I dont think its anything to do with his confidence, but more as hes splitting his priorities in both playmaking and scoring which makes things appear muddled or "stagnant".

 

[annihilator_33]

now the nets are coming down with offensive rebounds.....

 

[annihilator_33]

reke is heating up

 

[gunks]

We gotta stop their offensive rebounding. Dally is our only guy on the floor right now who is a capable defensive rebounder. Landry and Greene suck on the boards.

 

[rhythmless]

Way to pass it for the open fastbreak layup mr. pg

 

[hrdboild]

Reke needed to pass on that fastbreak. Luther Head was standing under the basket uncontested.

 

[=LarryLegend=]

We have to remember that teams are playing Tyreke better also, they know what he likes to do.

 

[davidfriedlander]

Did Casspi cuss PW out or something. I think he is the new Donte.

 

[gunks]

JT in for Landry...Thank Jeebus. Now maybe Humphries will stop looking like Hakeem

 

[rhythmless]

Reke needed to pass on that fastbreak. Luther Head was standing under the basket uncontested.

It was a very selfish play

 

[rainmaker]

definitely an adjustment period for him.

 

[King-Da-Yah]

I love the tempo of our offense right now, not seeing any slow dribble dribble crap, the ball is moving.

 

[kingzallday]

Nice hustle by Reke. I know for a fact he can do that D-wade/lebronesque block when he "wants" to key word "wants".

 

[annihilator_33]

it's weird to see the kings with the lead heading into the 4th quarter

 

[gunks]

Reke's jumper looks good this game. He's really trying on D as well.

But it seems like he's losing BBIQ points with each contest.


Ah well, young player!

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Reke looks gassed. Im not sure why he's still out there, and when he is im not sure why we arent giving Cousins and Beno more looks.

Dont get me wrong, Evans is playing well for the most part, but he does look tired and we keep feeding him the ball.

Ah well, young player!

the passes he throws while he's in the air are the one's that freak me out

 

[King-Da-Yah]

Might spell disaster.

good look by garcia
