[Game] Suns @ Kings 4/3/12

[Section 101]

He was playing shooting guard today, unless you believe Donte Greene went from being a backup 4 to a starting SG overnight. Tyreke was sucky today, there is no bones about it. The most discourage part is that he played like an All-star last night, making good decisions, attacking the rim, finding open men. But tonight he was smushed inside, forced the issue, made horrible decisions. I still have very high hopes for Tyreke but he needs to be held accountable when he takes nights off mentally.

Why Twill didn't start is beyond me.

Donte played good D on Frye at the start of the game. He got some cheap fouls that limited his PT. Also, he had some nice rebounds in the paint something that has been much better this year.

Tyreke is not effective against packed paint and to avoid that you have to do better, much better than 1-10 from 3. Yes, Tyreke needs mid-range pull-up asap but the team needs to knock down wide open shots as well.
Anyway, Kings got a lin and Boogie's career night.

 

[Gary]

25pts 7 assists 3 boards on 13 shots for IT tonight. I have no problem looking off Reke in the 4th as he didn't deserve the ball tonight with the way Boogie was playing and how efficient IT was scoring.

Once again the problem is defense, defense, defense. It's a distinct problem that needs to be fixed in the offseason with new personal

It was points off TOs. The Kings only allowed 44% shooting which if you average that for the year it would be top 12.

He started as a SG and had a bad first half. Watch how they played him in the second half, watch whether he got any touches in the 4th, or where he was being placed on the court. Like I said, this was without question a poorly played game by him, but for a player like Tyreke it doesn't help to not get the ball at all, whether or not the game's been going well for you.
