[Krunker]

Game time coming up, go Kings!

NBA.com says the game will be on NBATV. It also says we're getting Dick Bavetta.

NBA.com says the game will be on NBATV. It also says we're getting Dick Bavetta.

Prediction: DMC (and possibly Reke) is plagued with foul trouble, most of which are iffy calls, and we lose the game by single digits, with the Thunder having at least 15 more FT attempts than us.

 

[rainmaker]

Tyreke better move his feet on D tonight. Westbrook will attack, attack, and attack some more. Pretty sure Westbrook/Durant are number 2 and 3 in the NBA in FT's made. Also a game where Cousins will be important. If we have any advantage, it's him, on the inside.

let's go kings!!!!!

I think this could be a tough one. May get ugly. Just a hunch.

NBATV announcer quoting Mario Elie on DMC : "We're trying to get him to take more outside shots"


Sigh... The Petrie/Coachie effect I guess.

Woooo were lighting it up!

 

[The Hammer]

Looking like some good Kings basketball so far!

They also probably want him to get more comfertable in the high post, a lot like Webber.

Smokescreen.

 

[The Hammer]

Evans feelin it. I think he could go off here.

 

[rainmaker]

I like that take by Omri. Curling off a screen and drwing the foul. Lets see more of that.

 

[The Hammer]

Arena looking pretty full.

 

[rainmaker]

And I drive and dish from Omri. 3 in the key, but I like what I'm seeing from Omri early.

So far you have to be very happy with the Kings' play in this one.
If we can play a full 48 minutes we can win another one on national TV.

I like it too, rather than see him routinely settle for the deep perimeter shot. Unfortunately, Omri has very small hands for a guy his size and cannot lift the ball high to get up even higher on those slashing moves.

 

[Uncia03]

That half-court buzzer beating heave by Maynor really hurt.

I don't think his hand size should effect him too much when attacking the hoop, but more with his ball handling. Regardless of hand size, he's tall and long enough that runners and flip shots should work fine down the road.

Tyreke not knowing how to play end of quarter possessions hurts more. Continues to do it over and over. Pathetic and stupid.

 

[rainmaker]

Grant/Jerry, that's called being a ball hog. How come the first time Landry touches the ball after checking in, he always jacks up a shot?

Dude, it's not just Tyreke, it's the entire team.

 

[gunks]

Yikes...Crotch shot.

 

[rhythmless]

Dude, it's not just Tyreke, it's the entire team.

Who has the ball at the end? Tyreke. He runs nothing. He milks the clock until it's too late so he can just jack up a 3 or a fading jump shot.

 

[gunks]

Wow...Great pass

 

[The Hammer]

wow turnovers

 

[The Hammer]

four trips four turnovers. COME ON!!

 

[Sluggah]

Why are we playing like a chicken with it's head cut off?

Kings coaches have called it a weakness - Om's small hands. They also point out is he leads Kings in having his shot blocked this season. If he was able to hold the ball higher on his shots (slashing and outside) he'd be more effective. Also, he needs work on ball handling - no doubt. Personally, I'd be ok with him or Donte (or both) being traded before the deadline IF something worthwhile was coming back in return. Hurry up and comeback CISCO!
