PrintGolden 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.

Brad goes for Peaches head!

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!

Somebody has to have unbridled enthusiasm for JT becuz he’s from Rider. I’m too fickle to be that, and also, I won’t attend Rider.

Biedrins
is a good basketball player. He and Brad is a really weird matchup; Brad has all his skills, but Biedrins abuses him and Mikki both on the glass. Our old guys can’t even come close to keeping him boxed out.

It’s better than listening to Grant. (If only listening to the Warrior point of view is more interesting.)

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.
he has been a nice spark of the bench
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.

Having seen too many Timberwolves games recently
(I live in MN), the revelation for me in that game was how much better Telfair has become. I never thought he’d be much, but he seems to be finally getting it.
i agree
Telfair was such a dissappoint up until now, but he looked solid in that game
put me in, Coach
Brad exactly
1/2 was to the triple double.

As good as Kevin has been
he’s still struggling from 3.

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.
Yeah
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.

Lots of garbage time
Means the Kings don’t have to worry about Kevin until Tuesday. Which is not a bad thing. (Kevin’s leadership playing off bad wheels is inspiring though. Playing against bad teams don’t hurt either.)

yes
and when they play together and learn to pass the ball it will be fun to watch, just a little to much 1 on 1
7 games into the season
This season couldn’t have gone better at this moment. To be honest.

Shawes with a triple
Jeesh.

Yeah
Anybody want to admit they didn’t want Shawes come the 07 draft? (Raises hand. Glad I was wrong. Said that at the time too.)

Along those lines
I know a lot of people that were more excited about Randolph than JT, and Randolph has an NBA future, but the skill set difference between them is huge.
I did not want Anthony Randolph at any time
I feel very proud about that. In fact Jason Thompson was the guy I did want. I wish I had known it ahead of time.

Lest we dare question his drafting ability again.

I'm not going to question Geoff much
Unless he does something questionable like bring in Ron Artest. Hehe. (Kidding. I still blame the Maloofs for that. Don’t lose ya mind.)

Well in general little reason to question Geoff

but didn't Geoff want Joakim?
though I’m glad things worked out the way they did, and kudos to Geoff and his staff for taking Spencer!
put me in, Coach
What I love
Is That Spencer is the player the Kings are going to sorta stop the run, and stop the bleeding. It’s keeping Reggie with not putting any starter back in the game. I like that.

Every time I see Spencer this year I’m thinking Brad Miller’s suspension was a blessing. He gave him the chance to adjust to the NBA and he did it quickly and so smoothly. I can’t believe he’s still 20.
Yeah that's the part that scares me
But if Spencer’s knees hold up, he’s going to be dynamite no question.

Yeah probably
The Kings aren’t really doing much right now except coasting. The end of this game is a bit disappointing.

Game is now officially over
Sac now 3-4. 4 losses on the road. 3 wins at Arco. Not too terrible.

3 wins not enough
Need 4!
Let’s make Iverson’s visit to Sacramento a miserable one.
BOOK IT!
Brad's stabilized this team
And I think the panic, and the potential for real problems had the Kings not won against Memphis, icould be a thing of the past with the way this team is winning.

But I do think that panic internally was real
But this team winning @ Arco? That should at least make the fans consider how many times they want to visit Arco.

We go from having nothing a year ago
To having 2-3 dudes (depending on how you feel about JT) who can get a Double-Double every night, and Shelden and Mikki besides, who are both good options off the bench (unfortunately Mikki is starting).
Time for me to make my daily jaunt to Wendy's.
Peace Yall. It was real (as always).

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!
Maybe the Barack Obama theory of winning the presidency
Has been the driving force behind Shawes increased studness? (Nah.)

Excellent win!!
I tortured a Warriors fan behind me the whole game!
It looks like a loooong season for them. Thier young players look like crap!
Where is thier future? i didn’t see it.
Cisco? Cisco? CISCO!!!! #*$!%! !
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.
BOOK IT!
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.
No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. It's simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get tangled, you tango on
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.

The getting thrashed to pieces losses (I meant to say)

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:
Tue, Nov 11 Detroit 10:00 PM Comcast Sports SacramentoNot 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.

Grain of salt?
Why not just pee in my Cheerios? When was the last time we were in the top 8? I have the entire rest of the season to contemplate lottery picks and minutes for rookies. I’m going to enjoy this for at least the next 48 hours.
SACTOWN ROYALTY - Try our thick creamy shakes!
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.
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.)
No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. It's simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get tangled, you tango on
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.
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.
Cisco? Cisco? CISCO!!!! #*$!%! !

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!
SACTOWN ROYALTY - Try our thick creamy shakes!
Yes!
Brad Miller Redux? I think not.

at this point maybe Raef Lafrentz redux, though

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.
Cisco? Cisco? CISCO!!!! #*$!%! !
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.

Great Comment Eduardo
No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. It's simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get tangled, you tango on
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).

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.

Could someone explain me
How Spencer can lead the league in the 3PT percentage???
by KingsFanfromCentralEurope on Nov 10, 2008 5:13 AM PST reply actions
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
Ball movement ... is like jogging for most people: They do it occasionally, and it makes them happy. Then they go back to not doing it. - Henry Abbott
