Game #7: Warriors at Kings

Golden State Warriors at Sacramento Kings, Nov 9, 2008 6:00 PM PST


Corey Maggette is doubtful, Al Harrington is questionable. Kevin Martin and Brad Miller are also questionable ... but I assume at least Martin will play. Quincy Douby is out. If Martin doesn't play, Bobby Jackson could start at the two (and John Salmons would probably play 45 minutes).

The offense should be able to function tonight. Demarcus Nelson, Andris Biedrins and Stephen Jackson are good defensive players by reputation ... but the Kings have enough strong scorers to break through. (Also, Jackson's defense is inconsistent, Nelson probably doesn't know the league -- or that Beno only goes left -- yet, and Biedrins is much better off-the-ball than in straight post man defense.)

Without Maggs, Golden State might make Sacramento's defense look better than it is. Let's hope so.

6PM PST on News10 locally. Go Kings.

More crazy stuff today

New York is now 4-2 handing UTA their 1st loss. Clips got their 1st win vs. 2-4 Dal, and it looks like Atl may get their 1st loss in OKC.

Go Kings!

I don't know Pookey

If I were Beno, I’d start to be a little worried. If BB plays half a season the way he’s started, you have to start making the case for him over Beno. He definitely has the chance to be a better defender than Beno, to date BB has been a better shooter (small sample size though), and BB has been making good decisions. With all the excitement about our bigs (rightfully so), we’ve been a little quiet about BB, but he’s been very impressive.

and if Beno is struggling he can pick up the slack, he may be a better passer then Beno

I think of all the young players

BB is the difference between the Wolves and the Kings. Everyone is talking about Jefferson & Love, but Brown makes an ultimate difference team with no defensive backcourt players. And brown can shoot the rock.

I wonder if that has anything to do with getting his legs under the shot

Having a bad wheel doesn’t help you get enough set footing necessarily to push off to put the type of strength needed to hit a 3. It’s one thing to get a running start, but it’s another to push yourself off the floor and get the type of perfect shot you need to make to hit a 3.

Our second unit gets after it

From Bobby Brown pressuring the point, to JT/Hawes actually being able to block a shot, to defensive rebounding and athleticism to stay in front of people, we actually play some defense.

I mean these guys do different things than the starting lineup. The Dubs aren’t able to come back because the Kings have much better overall talent than the Dubs do without Maggette or Ellis available to them.

Wow...

The Kings are just a completely different team at Arco Arena. The Kings played so well that even when K-Mart went out, I didn’t sweat a bit. The Kings with a terrific effort and the key to this season will be can the Kings carry what they do at home to the road?

First, let’s hope the Kings can have a 4-0 homestand and take the confidence on the road. I think people are sleeping on the Kings this year and our we’ll be a tough to beat for any time LA and Boston included.

Let’s Go Kings, 3-4 now let’s make it 4-4 with the Pistons coming in.

BOOK IT!

Yep

Miller returning helped quite a bit. Should silence those who were calling for him to be traded.

BTW, if the playoffs were to start today, the Kings would have the 8th spot !!! :)

I wondered why Jackson was out entire 4th quarter.

The Warriors should be a completely different team when Monta and Maggette gets back and the Harrington issue resolves itself.

I’ll get beat up for saying this but thank goodness the Lakers beat the Rockets.

TZ, can you also get a record update on Houston as well. I hope they grab the 8th spot and gives up a pick in the late teens next year. Petrie seems to do well on those picks.

For a Pro Rockets point of View

They’ve also played a really tough schedule. Memphis & @ DAllas to open the season. (They did win both of those.) They played OKC at home, and then lost to Boston at home (they beat OKC). Lost a close game to Portland on the road, and beat the Clippers in LA. They lost to the Lakers in a bad game. Other than losing to Boston in a close game, and Portland in a close game, and getting thrashed, I’m not sure you can say that Houston isn’t headed for a 55+ win season. They do have a terrific team there.

The Kings by way of another view

Have played a really soft schedule so far. 2 games against Minnesota (1 home, away), and 1 game against Miami, Orlando and Philly on the road (all losses), and 1 game at home vs Memphis and Golden State. All the wins have come against bottom feeders, the one close loss came against the bottom feeder, and the thrashing about wins have come against middle of the road-to fringe championship contenders. Let’s not get overtly lovefesty about our flock of Royals quite yet.

To add more of the pieces of the puzzle to how I see this team looking

We’ll know alot more about this team at the end of December when they have finished an absolutely rotten schedule for the rest of this month. Check it out:

Wed, Nov 12 @ LA Clippers 10:30 PM Comcast Sports Sacramento

Wed, Nov 26 New Jersey 10:00 PM Comcast Sports Sacramento
Fri, Nov 28 @ Utah 9:00 PM Comcast Sports Sacramento
Sat, Nov 29 Dallas 10:00 PM Comcast Sports Sacramento

Not to be buzzkil or anything, but that’s a fucking a schedule right there. The Kings just played through “the soft” part of their schedule if you look at it this way. If you’re at the bottom of the league, every game is likely to be tougher than not. But this is a rotten schedule for a team even better than the Kings. We will know alot about this team by the end of the month. Hopefully we will still be as happy as we are now.

Im not sure how good this team can be

Even in a fairly solid win like this, the defense was porous and there wasn’t any real offensive cohesion, just alot of good individual moves. I think this team is gonna really struggle on the road, but can challenge anyone at home.

by Deleran on Nov 9, 2008 10:09 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Gee there's some new analysis

I don’t mean to be rough on you, but that’s pretty much the standard thought about this team going in. And, like, TZ had been saying it over the last few days too. (I regurgitate thoughts too, I more than am willing to admit. But, at the same time, If you aren’t saying anything NEW about why the Kings are struggling on D, or why they’re losing on the road, you aren’t really bringing much about to the conversation either. Food for thought. And for the record I agree with your points.)

Its not new

But predictions about this team have been both murky and numerous. I’m just saying that seven games in, I think this is where the team is headed. It took me that long to make up my mind. Incidentally, I think running Brad with Spence more would go a ways towards shoring up our interior D.

by Deleran on Nov 10, 2008 9:55 AM PST up reply actions   0 recs

I don't think anyone knows yet

How this team will ultimately pan out. The kids are getting better and look like they’ll really contribute (not Donte’) this year.

The West looks much weaker at the bottom 6-8 spots this year though.

Brad Miller

Can really run an offense out there. It’s really too bad he’s so terrible defensively, the Warriors were forming a layup line with him and Moore protecting the rim (Beno’s perimeter D wasn’t helping either).

Spencer is already a better defender and rebounder, but he can’t run the offense like Miller can. But when he does learn, this team is going to be dangerous. Especially with the MASSIVE upgrade from Moore to an experienced Thompson. I can’t wait.

More stupid stats from ridiculously small samples:

Spencer Hawes has blocked more shots this year than Joakim Noah and Al Horford…combined!

Suddenly Solid

at the bigs. Like I said (yesterday?), we need that other swing threat off the bench. Without Cisco, our best ‘catch and shoot’ player, the assists are way down.

Not to demean CPaul (because he’s great) but he has three or four guys who make a living at the catch and shoot. Even KM tends to dribble-move-shoot which eliminates the assists.

More food for thought

This is regarding Margin of Victories since I typed this out in Wordpad, and used the ESPN site to check scores for margin of losses and victories.

In Minnesota: Lose by 2 points Vs Memphis: Win by 5 points
In Miami: Lose by 26 points Vs Minnesota: Win by 12 points
In Orlando: Lose by 18 points Vs Golden State: Win by 18 points
In Philadelphia: Lose by 34 points (these average to – 20 points a game over 4 games when you add the total of points you lose by, and then divide by the amount of games played hence the 80 divided by (/) 4 equaling a negative 20 margin of victory.)

After 1 game Margin of Victory: – 2 points (negative does stand for loss)
After 2 games Margin of Victory: -24 points
After 3 games Margin of Victory: – 15.33 points
After 4 games Margin of Victory: – 20 points
After 5 games Margin of Victory: – 15 points
After 6 games Margin of victory: – 10.5 points
After 7 games Margin of Victory: – 6.6 points

Other observations about the numbers: In 4 losses the Kings have given up 447 points or just under 112 a game. In 3 victories the Kings have given up 302 points and averages a bit under 101 pts a game. That’s a hell of a difference when you factor the pace in for the team, and considering the crappy defense, and missing an important defender in Garcia? Again, I think the strength of schedule has alot to do with this, as well as some rudderless/leadership/management void teams out there, but that being said, a win is a win in the NBA, and after some awful losses out there, and some reasonable one’s mixed in, and 3 exciting victories that may prove to be 3 of the more enjoyable victories this team has all year, let’s enjoy them. It’s not likely to be pretty from here on out. I suggest we don’t think 500 about this team until January. Don’t even think it’s possible. Do not even dare to dream. Don’t even believe. Just don’t!!!!

Couple things from the game

Just got back from Arco and of course I’m happy with the game. Some observations from my seats (section 201):

Very first thing I gotta get off my chest. This idiot Warriors’ fan sitting next to me kept calling Speed a ball hog. He was annoying the shit out of me. I didn’t wat to get into an argument cause I do my best to respect other fans but DAMN…..!! K-Mart was killing them and everytime he touched the ball this idiot would just call him a ball hog. He also said that’s all we have… well what we have is more than what you have… Bitch!! Ohh yeah, and then he dissapeared after the third quarter and didn’t show his face until the end to just leave with his friend. I’m sorry but some Warriors fans really irritate me. Anyways…

I was happy to see that K-Mart started, yet again leading by example (I’m sure this is earning him serious points with Reggie and his teammates). I couldn’t really tell if his ankle s bothering him because he was lighting it up. I was worried as soon as he went down and kept looking at the tunnel for him to come back. I think Petrie actually went in with him for a bit and then came back minutes after. Glad we did not need him to close the game and hope he’s gonna be good to go on Tuesday. If not, I’m not going to blame him; he already played two games with a bad ankle.

Salmons looked good defending Jackson and did not see one play where he stopped the ball on offense. He’s getting it

Brad is just a big point guard. You can tell we need him for the offense to run. Kinda worries me when I think of life after Miller cause Hawes is not there yet in terms of running the offense

Hawes looks so much more comfortable out there. His offense is so much more polished and he’s getting better on D. Couple of great blocks got me off my seat

JT had a good couple post ups and is all energy. Foul trouble is expected but he looked good

Bobby Brown is really helping off the bench and he’s D really bothers the other team’s point guard. His shooting doesn’t hurt either

I was stocked to see Greene for a little bit. I totally remember what he did: had an offensive rebound, took a charge, forced a turnover and got to the line. Great couple minutes to build from. The crowd loves the guy

Mikki’s offense is bad. Shelden’s is horrible.

They played that video with K-9 and Donte telling the crowd to get up. I thought it was hilarious because of K-9 of course.

Good game overall. Great to stick it to the Warrior fans.

One more thing

I don’t know how it came across on TV but Nellie just gave up after the third quarter. I kept waiting for him to put the starters back but he never did. I was really surpised…

(More) Food for Thought

Looking at the stats it’s very clear JT is a solid O boarder (tonight was a bit misleading with 5 of his 7 boards being offensive) but still, this is a team seemingly has gotten more offensive boards. But after looking at last season’s stats, that’s not what’s the real case. This team is far better DEFENSIVELY on the boards than they were last season. That’s incredible to me. Even if the Kings match the 10 O-Boards the team grabbed last season (that’s pretty likely), grabbing an extra 5 boards will help this team, even as it’s not as good defensively without Artest (negligible argument at best if you ask me), it’s gotten so much better in the defensive rebounding department that losing a top 5 defender at his best is nothing this team is missing overall. What a wonderful “in your face” argument to people who thinks this team greatly misses Artest (which they don’t, and won’t).

I’m basing my argument based on these stats after 6 games (which would have improved after tonight’s game anyway).

Observations
  • It’s amazing how much better of a coach Reggie Theus has become in the past five days.
  • Bobby Jax has that arch his back thing going again, and it has really improved his stroke. It’s nice to see him do well again.
  • That high-post pick and roll game never gets old.

How Spencer can lead the league in the 3PT percentage???

by KingsFanfromCentralEurope on Nov 10, 2008 5:13 AM PST reply actions   0 recs

He has the hot hand right now (9-12)

But look for that to cool off some. His career 3 pt % is .394. Still awesome especially for a big.

Here's some good news

From Amick at the Bee:

The good news continued afterward for the Kings, as an MRI on Martin’s ankle was negative. He is considered day-to-day
