[Game] Timberwolves @ Kings - 11/27/12

[mac]

And let's look at FTs: Kings - 0, Wolves - 8

Points in the paint hugely in Wolves' favor too. But that's because Cuz has been scoring mainly from outside and JT hasn't been much of a factor. Bench unit was dumb though, terrible spacing with a lineup of Hayes/TRob/JJ/MT/IT.

We're only down 3, very winnable game if we play properly. I was a little mad that Tyreke was out for so long... guess Smart hasn't really learnt his lesson yet. Worst part is it was with the bench being absolutely useless.

That's been bad trend all season so far. Kings don't get to the line as much as opponents. Good news is Kings have been making their FTs - when they get to the stripe.

Considering the way our main scorers play, that is kind of surprising. Though I think that DMC has been playing on the perimeter more often which has lowered his attempts.

 

[Reke]

Lol Reke looked like Kobe with that shot he just hit -__-

 

[William Blake]

wtf

 

[rainmaker]

A double foul? WTF.

 

[spudfan]

A double foul!?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME LOL.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Double foul? What a cop-out.

Edit: All part of the NBA's "Deny The Kings Foul Calls So The Maloofs Sell" strategy, I'm sure.

 

[Kings Faithful]

a double foul? wtf is that. What a cop out.

 

[Arkitect]

Is that even a thing?

 

[deekay2o9]

Double foul...WTF??

 

[rainmaker]

Is that even a thing?

Yes, but not in that situation.

 

[Reke]

Double.. damn, didnt know they had that in the rule book

 

[annihilator_33]

Finally, some free throws

 

[Kings Faithful]

Double.. damn, didnt know they had that in the rule book

You can't simultaneously charge and be fouled.... thats ridiculous.

 

[Kings Faithful]

T-Wolves just hitting everything...

 

[spudfan]

Never seen that double foul called on a charge/block. Still laughing over here.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Salmons posting up? Why sure, that's a great strategy!

 

[Kings Faithful]

So who can we put in to change momentum? Jimmer? JJ?

 

[Glenn]

And with that double foul call, the air went out of the Kings as our monster who was having a great game heads for the bench.

 

[mac]

Our bigs have just been getting beat all night ... I can't tell if it's because of screens or what but the wolves bigs are getting wide open lanes to the rim and when our guards rotate over to help they are kicking it out to the wings for open 3s

 

[Npliam]

They called a double foul on a block/charge call? Seriously?

 

[Kings Faithful]

Kirelenko's presence is just shutting us down cold.

How was he having a great game? He has taken 15 shots to score 14 points...that is inefficient. He also only has 4 boards in 21 min.

I can't see the game but statistically he hasn't been great, not terrible but not great either. Has he been killing it on defense or something?

 

[mac]

We need to find a way to get Evans the ball in position to score. Tough when AK is covering him

Watch the game, not the box score.

 

[rainmaker]

How wasn't that a foul?

Excuse me, troll.

 

[Reke]

where the foul? Refs dont like us shooting freethrows?

Tougher when he's on the bench.

 

[spudfan]

How wasn't that a foul?

Gotta swallow the whistle until you can call two fouls at once. One at a time isn't worth the effort!
