Spurs @ Kings Game Thread

[albeitrue]

What is the lowest point we have made in half time?

I'm guessing this one falls somewhere in the top 10%, if not 5. Good news is, we're gaining on 'em...14 behind sure beats 25!

 

[Brewer16]

ok, just checked the score, can someone recap first half, to explain to me why kings are playing so badly? or are the spurs just playing really well?

Well for one, like always some player who usually sucks is having a career day on us. Doucheberg is 5/5 and has 13 pts..

 

[Bballkingsrock]

The Kings only have 3 assits in the game! Greg Ostertag has 2 and is the leader!! Wow, wierd stat.

 

[Lamar_Odom]

They are 5-0 together, they have played much better than this.

Just curious, what was their bet line together? Who did they play?

 

[AriesMar27]

what scrub doesnt put up career numbers against this team?

 

[piksi]

Very simple to explain first half

Kings 3 assists and 10 turnovers

Spurs 12 assists and 5 turnovers

 

[albeitrue]

Spurs down to 47% shooting, Kings = 42%, woohoo!

We seem to be holding the ball too long, their defense is just that good. We're 13-31 to their 21-44.

most teams that LA alreay lost to.

 

[Webber4tHREE]

kings cant let them dictate this game they need to defend their homecourt

 

[albeitrue]

The offense doesn't move well when Web is on the floor, this is not a dig on Web...cause he's not telling anyone not to move. Why is this?

Do you think the Spurs' defense has something to do with that?

Nobody is doing much right at the moment

 

[albeitrue]

McSluggo, refs have taken 4 points away with 2 horrible calls. Make that 5, because Duncan had a 3 point opp on one of those calls. Both involved Peja. Peja is being aggressive in the paint (just hasn't connected much there yet), and so is Brad. I LOVE to see our big men in the paint, oh yea.

 

[Variant]

Yep... Kings look pretty helpless against a good defense.

 

[Since93]

Looks like Phoneix and Seattle are winning tonight... bad news for us...

Go Kings!!! Go Jazz!!!

Nope

They have always and always will look to Webb to bail them out of trouble and create something. Therefore they watch to see what he does instead of helping him out.

 

[Lamar_Odom]

You missed the point but at least they won't accuse me of turning this about the "other" team.

 

[Heuge]

Nope

You're crazy

What was your point.

 

[Lamar_Odom]

Nope

Kindly explain, Sire!

 

[piksi]

Kindly explain, Sire!

Is Spurs defense responsible for sloppy play, quick shots and lack of effort. If Kings play OK (not great but just OK) - they score more than 36 pts no matter who they play.

Oh. But how are they in trouble just standing there, do you mean being in "trouble" = losing?

 

[Heuge]

no cw for the game.

agree. sloppy play by 1 guy is tolerable and we can win but sloppy play with 4 out of 5 is unacceptable.

 

[albeitrue]

Yes, mostly.

 

[rnmeuy]

How is it possible Webber has no rebounds?

 

[Entity]

One more thing i have notice is that Brad has great rebounding nights in games in which we are getting blown out. Why is that. Why not put that effort on games where we win by 3 or 4 then maybe we would win by 12 or 13

 

[Lamar_Odom]

What was your point.

Please understand that I'm basing my observation on this game as this is the first game that I'm watching with Mobley on the team. I understand that you are 5-0 with Mobley but what I wanted to see is how your team meshes vs. a "true" quality opponent. My point? After being 5-0 with Mobley, I still don't see a true fluidity between him and Bibby. Again, this is based on what I'm seeing and vs. a true quality opponent.

BTW - during that 5-game winning streak, how many games did Mobley play?

Webb out the second half
