[HereWeBoogie]

On my way to the game right now (free tickets and parking pass)
Lets hope they show up to play tonight

 

[RKDfan]

No Evans tonight :/ Thornton is getting the start.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Omg where did that come from? When did he get hurt? Great now I'm pretty sure I'm gonna regret coming.

That isn't right for keeping it a secret so close before the games start. It takes away from the fan experience. They should just fine the Maloofs... just because.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

I agree. I want my gas money back and money to compensate for my time. I thought tyreke was playing

 

[rainmaker]

No Reke? Cool. I already see a potential problem as soon as tomorrow if Reke is back. I'll keep that to myself for the time being though.

 

[Bricklayer]

Sigh. Well, its on Cousins now, if he can ever get the ball from the chuck and duck backcourt. If Smart was, well smart, he would try ot slip Johnson back into the starting linuep, just for tonight, to rebalance things defensively. The long chucks will certainly be taken care of, and then you could run Salmons as the fullsized backup SG. Alas, it is not often you get to call Smart, smart.

Spurs just got fined $250,000 today by NBA for keeping it secret that 4 top players were to not playing in Miami and instead rested at home in San Antonio. Fair?

I think I know what ur saying. "This person played well so we need to get him extra minutes"

 

[Section 101]

he's doubtful tomorrow.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Can we get a win here? This season is slipping away into nothingness. Keep it interesting, please.

 

[spudfan]

Nice! No Tyreke! I have Thornton on my fantasy team

 

[kingjatt]

reke out? great another built in excuse for smart.

 

[kingjatt]

lots of 1v1 early on.

 

[Kings Faithful]

The lack of foul calls when Cousins drives is ridiculous. He's just a pariah among the officials.

 

[spudfan]

Look like a bunch of chickens with their heads cut off out there.

 

[kingjatt]

lots of jumpshooting or driving into 4 guys without passing.

 

[rainmaker]

This is some poor basketball.

 

[PurpleHaze]

This is Pacers basketball. Ugh!

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Not good. So sloppy.

 

[rainmaker]

Kinda funny how we hear for weeks during preseason Smart doesn't want guys passing up jumpers and to shoot every jumper they see.

Now, he says we're settling too much for jumpers and that's the reason for our lack of drawing fouls.

All goes back to roles....

 

[PurpleHaze]

Poor, ugly, horrible, laughable (insert another stinking lousy word).

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

When is Demarcus going to show up this season? He's not playing anywhere close to level we need him to be at to be successful. Offense looks terrible.

We also aren't getting any help from the refs.

 

[spudfan]

So now we are back to Jimmer!

Thing is, it seems Smart has turned him into a jumper shooter. Either he's hitting them or not. Kind of did the same to Reke until Reke finally got the ball more and started attacking. All this iso ball and stressing of shooting jumpers has made our team soft.

 

[rainmaker]

I'm guessing Tyreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeke will show up any minute now.

 

[spudfan]

I'm guessing Tyreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeke will show up any minute now.

Let's see if he was looking for the bat signal.
