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

[Kings Faithful]

I would love to have a player we can just dump it to and just forces fouls...

 

[Kings Faithful]

Man. All of the T-Wolves misses are resulting in wild rebounds that are just tough for us to grab.

We have two.

I think that call (ball to Kings out of bounds) looked like a really bad call. Wouldn't be surprised to see that switched over during the timeout.

DMC has that potential. He is a load down low.

Looked like AK touched it

 

[wazzups]

we wont utilize our big guy properly....so frustrating

They didn't overturn it, so you're probably right. I didn't see AK touch it in real time, but it's not that easy on TV.

 

[Kings Faithful]

We have two.

No we don't. Our guys don't make a high enough percentage of those easy shots and aren't patient enough to fit into that category.

Why is the ball stuck in IT's hands instead of a Reke/Cuz two man game?

 

[blackice]

hero ball time?

 

[Kings Faithful]

See how Pek just muscles his way into the paint then gets the ball. You have no choice but to foul him at that point. We need that.

No idea. No idea either why IT is in and not Brooks.

Smart is his BFF

 

[Reke]

smh at not runnin the 2man game with cuz and reke.... instead they go I.T And cuz

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Kings have six players!

OK, somebody came off. There were six on the court right before the FT.

Never mind. Rewound it and I must have hallucinated a player.

 

[Kings Faithful]

Thornton time.

 

[flamecrow]

lol maybe kings announcer should be the refs

 

[rainmaker]

How do you go from not playing IT to handing him the offense down teh stretch of a close game and going away from what's working best?

 

[Kings Faithful]

Just a few more free throw hits and less stupid plays and we could have won this easily.

 

[spudfan]

Kirilenko is pretty good.

 

[Heuge]

We the FFFFF are we playing a zone.

 

[Tetsujin]

Cuz should have passed out of that quadruple team.

 

[blackice]

what a weak attempt at the rim by cuz there..

 

[Kings Faithful]

This is why dumping it to Cousins is not a viable strategy. He isn't that kind of player on the post.

 

[mac]

See what I mean about Cousins' post game? It's certainly not his strength.

 

[jcunny33]

Two great shooters Thornton and Jimmer on the bench...who can score?

Would like to hear the answer to that myself... When we get down to close games it seems like we more often than not have some funky rotation/lineup in. Reminds me of that game where Salmons just came back after being away from the team... and after not playing in the first half or for days gets tossed in to try and pull out a win with the game neck and neck.

 

[Tetsujin]

To be fair, he was triple teamed. On the otherside, Pekovic is being zero teamed.

 

[rainmaker]

We probably win this with better sub patterns and play calling down the stretch.
