[Game] Spurs at Kings 3/28 7PM PST

[Spike]

Go Kings!
Last meeting was a very ho-hum 88-86 victory over the Spurs. Things are a little different now, and the sugar plums have ended their dancing, but I'm sure we would all like a win tonight (unless you're hoping for a powerball victory) especially those kids on the court.

Is JT back? We'll need him.
Will Smart toy with the sub patterns a little better than in Houston? We'll need him to.

The Spurs are hot right now, and everyone is healthy...well, healthy enough for a bunch of old guys.

Update: no fish tonight. Who is Shavlik Randolph?

 

[PurpleHaze]

Spurs extremely tough on the road. Something like 12 wins out of last 14 away. They definitely remember what Kings did to them in San Antonio back in January, coming from 6pts down in last couple of minutes to win by 2. Hopefully, Kings play extremely HARD and SMART for all 4 quarters because that's what Pop's teams always seem to do.

 

[annihilator_33]

Let's go Kings!!!!

 

[Capt. Factorial]

JT will be back tonight.

 

[cuad]

still spamming timeouts at the beginning of the game.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

We look flat and not very aggressive.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Thats some really impressive defense by Cousins on the old guy.

 

[Spike]

Big mismatch in Evans's favor.

 

[rainmaker]

I'm glad members of our FO simply "hope" IT's quickness can bother Parker a little.

 

[cuad]

Tim Duncan is old

 

[rainmaker]

7 of SA's 11 pts on IT/MT.

 

[Spike]

I'm glad members of our FO simply "hope" IT's quickness can bother Parker a little.

He hasn't done well as of late, that's for sure.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

JT is has been magical the past month or so.

 

[rainmaker]

Interesting difference in sub patterns, eh?

 

[PurpleHaze]

Cousins 2 fouls. An opponents strategy plus make Kings a jump shooting team - since they're statistically worst in NBA.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Earlier subs than usual from Smart. Hmm.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Jimmer doesn't play for a few nights and THAT is his first shot.

He's not shy.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Like that Smart left Cuz in even with 2 fouls until finally subbing late in 1Q. DMC is learning slowly how to play with fouls, critical for his long-term development.

 

[rainmaker]

Jimmer doesn't play for a few nights and THAT is his first shot.

He's not shy.

Nor is he aware of clock management apparently

 

[The_Jamal]

God, I freaking love Manu. He's easily one of my favorite non-Kings players of all time

 

[The_Jamal]

Glad to see JT is back to business as usual. 5 pts 4 boards in 9 minutes is fantastic

 

[Spike]

Interesting difference in sub patterns, eh?

At least he shows a willingness to adapt...somewhat.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

No Salmons = Jimmer gets another chance at backup PG. Make the most of it.

Good finish in the paint.

 

[The_Jamal]

I'm interested to see how Williams defends Manu

 

[Spike]

This lineup on both sides makes me look for the clown car. Mini ball at its finest.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Williams can clearly play. I don't know what sort of role he can fill on this team, but there is talent there.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

I really don't like Hayes and Donte as our two bigs, ever.

 

[Kingsfan23]

Sean Elliott calling Spurs games is the exact model that the Kings should be employing - a commentator who has personal ties and is beloved by the community.. what is the point of Fat Lever?

 

[rainmaker]

This lineup on both sides makes me look for the clown car. Mini ball at its finest.

At least a shinny one.

 

[rainmaker]

I don't like all bench players against Parker/Manu/Duncan/SJax.

Pop is toying with Smart at the moment.
