[Game] Preseason Game 1: Suns at Kings, 10/5/10 7pm PST

[Entity]

JT 15pts 9reb 4ast 2blks 1stl

Phoenix plays tomorrow night in Vancouver, BC. Nash had a role in setting it all up and apparently is involved in lots of pre-game stuff around the Canadian city. Probably the Suns want to make sure his 36 year old legs are fresh for the back-to-back with everything about the local Canuck hero.

Ahh I see. Makes sense, thank you for clearing that up.

if you order it through directv, you get the tv package plus free league pass broadband access, in my opinion, order it through directtv, the only reason why i got the league pass broadband only is because my cable provider doesn't offer it, i used to get league pass through comcast cable and had league pass broadband for free

Thanks, but do you know if I can order the choice package which is just access to 7 teams through directv? I only really have a few teams that I'd really wanna watch this season

I hope JT can consistently block around 2 shots per game. If he continues to block like this, him, Dalembert, and Whiteside could be a dominating defensive trio.

 

[Larry89]

Hmm either JT is doing very well and has come into his own (I know its the first pre season game) or Hedo is guarding him, or something.

Carl Landry has more min than anybody and has exactly 1 rebound.

 

[kingsboi]

What I noticed so far based on the box score, the team is doing a good job of gang rebounding. You got Cousins, JT, Omri & Reke rebounding the ball. Put in Dalembert with Hassan and Carl at times, and wow! that's a lot of rebounds folks.

 

[Boogie-havoc]

JT double double.. we running now, 95-88

Thompson and Cousins both with double doubles when was the last time we had 2 bigs with double doubles? and this is just the 1st game

Don't know if you can do that through directtv, i would call them to clarify though.....

 

[kingzallday]

two guys with double doubles hell yes!!!!!

 

[Entity]

OK thats it. I am declaring JT must be the starting PF.

 

[annihilator_33]

i hate not being able to watch the game, even if it is preseason

With Cousins at C or Sammie D?

Well it's still the Suns, they're not really big and strong.. but impressive nontheless

 

[kingzallday]

with big cuz

Listening. Quick shot off the dribble from the perimeter with twenty seconds on the clock is not a smart play.

How do you know it wasn't a wide open shot? Is it better to dribble the ball until the defense is set and try to make a play with the clock running low? You can't know the context of the shot by just listening. Some people already mentioned the label thing. Now that some posters have labeled Casspi as selfish, any shot he takes there will be someone who complains about how he forces them up every time.

 

[Tetsujin]

I have the feeling that this Tyreke kid might be pretty good one day

 

[PurpleHaze]

of course the Kings comback and now running lead has been mostly against Phoenix scrubs, no Nash, no Grant Hill, etc. This game has gotten to garbage time it appears with Cuz throwing up a 20 footer and bricking it. Next time down he posts and scores - yep that's the ticket!

i was thinking the same thing....

I know that you are a big Omri fan but at this point it's getting ridiculous. Every time someone critiques someone isn't a personal attack against the guy.

 

[kingsboi]

It's good to see JT and DC getting both double doubles, against a small Phx team none the less, but still impressive. I'm just dissappointed Westphal decided to play so many starters down the stretch and this far along into the game, just let the others get some playing time, don't wear out the starters already.

 

[The Hammer]

With Cousins at C or Sammie D?

With Cousins.

After this game, it looks like our starting frontcourt is Thompson and Cousins. I've got our starting lineup down to:

Evans
Garcia
?
Thompson
Cousins

Well, to be fair, we are missing four guys due to injury.

I don't know, anyone can make a jump shot, I think I need to see more

i'm telling you...JT and DC starting together = beasting. It was the same way during the scrimmage on sunday.

 

[Gary]

Yah his jumper sounds amazing.. Thinking we might see a 25ppg year from Evans.

THat's pretty good for preseason (at least compared to the travesty which was Miami's attendance today)

Better than most games last season
