[Game] Wizards @ Kings - 1/16/13

[Glenn]

Problem now is that Cuz/Reke look like they're running on fumes. Happens because our coach won't sub guys out for 3-4 mins and get them back in. Essentially handicaps the players and team by extension.

I always wanted more minutes from Cuz but this is absurd. There is something missing in Smart's brain. Ya know, the part that controls logic.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

I don't care if Cousins is tired, or has 5 fouls, I wouldn't take him out here. He can do this. If he fails no one will blame him, but its great experience for him.

 

[rainmaker]

Yea, his sub rotations kill our guys.

Because he's not willing to bring Brooks/MT in for 4 mins then pull them, he gives himself two worse options, sit Cuz or Reke for 10-12 mins, or play them basically the entire half. It's retarded.

 

[sdballer]

Why did JT have to start sucking this year? With our main guys finally putting it together at the same time, would have been nice to have that consistent guy from earlier in the year. Part of the reason I've never been a huge fan of his.

Hayes is in over T-Rob............why?

hes playing the best D on the court, are you not paying attention?

 

[The_Jamal]

Great play from Jimmer and Big Cuz!

 

[treach1976]

Here he comes to save the day... DMC is on the way!

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

That's it! way to fight!

 

[xrzn]

Run DMC!

 

[Tetsujin]

Maybe those 3 minutes on the bench were good for Cuz

 

[1234kings]

Cuz and Evans should be getting these minutes every game! well... maybe not the entire game lol. at least 35 though.

 

[spudfan]

I find it amusing that we play 12 players but three of our guys will be over 40 minutes.

 

[mac]

Credit to Hayes as well for doing a very good job defensively and boxing out.

I am normally offended by the term "retarded" but in this case it may actually be Smart's IQ.

 

[The_Jamal]

I like that Smart is extended Reke and Cousins tonight. Ideally, you want them around 35 minutes a game. In a game where we're behind though, they have to stay on the floor

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

I, for one, will welcome any scenario where Cousins and Evans play 40+ minutes. It's NOT going to happen every game, but teams do this. We never do it, and now we are. I'll take it.

We played 7 guys this half. Amen.

Every other team in the league does it.

Yeah its fun to look at the box score and see 3 guys with over 40 minutes, 12 total players seeing time and 5 guys with less than 10. Only in Smarts world does that make sense

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

I don't know WHY Evans is sinking in like that, but at least Salmons got the 3 back.

 

[theclash4u5]

Cousins is exhausted, can't blame him for doing too much there.

 

[kings4lyfe32]

wowwww John Wall just gave us a gift right there

 

[spudfan]

Oh no! Our plays out of time outs normally leave something to be desired.... crossing my fingers right now.

 

[mac]

We got a game!!!! I'm slightly scared as to what Smart will draw up out of the timeout

 

[xrzn]

One Kentucky player turns the ball over on one end of the floor and another blows 2 fts on the other

 

[Tetsujin]

We run plays out of timeouts?

 

[theclash4u5]

Love to see a post up by Cousins here, then back out for a Jimmer shot.

 

[treach1976]

2 & 1 situation, but you have to have a great play out of timeout....

Let's see what you've got Keith.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Just give it to Cousins. Keep it simple. Live or die by that.

 

[1234kings]

he should just leave hayes in there for offense too. a person to box out for missed shots.
