As I posted earlier, I attended tonight's game vs. the Pacers, and just wanted to post a few observations
First of all, Conseco Fieldhouse is without question the best NBA arena I've ever been to. I've been there multiple times (for Wooden Classic, Big Ten Tourney, etc.) and it is perfectly set up for viewing basketball. The concourse has a really cool retro feel to it also. If you guys ever get a chance to see a game there, jump on it.
Troy Murphy may have the ugliest jumper I've ever seen, how he gets that garbage to go in is beyond me.
Jason Thompson really impressed me, he's a lot quicker in person than he appears on tv. He puts a little weight on that frame, and plays a little smarter and he could be a special player.
Along with that, Jason could have been called for 12 or more fouls. When he was guarding Hibbert, Jason got away with a lot of contact in the post.
If only Landry was 6'10, he'd be absolutely dominating. He has some really crafty post moves.
Tyreke's change of speed on the dribble is absolutely lethal, I really think his quickness is very underrated
Obvious to anyone who watched the game, Danny Granger is an absolute baller! Really took over the game in second half
How on earth did we lose to the Pacers? That team was just dreadful, what a poorly constructed team.
Noc and Udoka, need to be gone as soon as the season's over. Noc screamed at Tyreke much of the first half, and you could tell that Tyreke and the rest of the Kings have just tuned him out and some of the looks on their faces after a few of his shot attempts were just priceless.
Beno is really playing well!!!! Pacers fans kept coming up to me asking me who he was, and commented how talented they thought he was
Felt so bad for the dozen or so Israelis/Casspi fans who sat a section over from me, as they were so psyched to see Omri play, and well DNP. Kudos to them though, they were really cheering hard for the Kings the whole game despite the dire 2nd half.
There were probably 30-40 Kings fans that I could see, not a horrible turnout at all
Larry Bird was sitting in the stands for most of the game, seemed impressed by Tyreke's play, but disgusted by the Pacers first half.
Really random I know, but Tyreke and Luther Head seemed to be pretty close friends as do Landry and Earl Watson for whatever reason
Overall, a microcosm of our season: a promising start followed by a disappointing finish. We have some really good pieces, just need to mature and add another big. Great time at the game, got to make it out to Arco sometime though
