Honestly
Just learned what that stat was and trying to figure out how it works in the scheme of things. Thanks.
It's best used for about a minimum of 50 games
Usually over the course of a season. You won’t see someone like TZ or myself ever seriously talk about a +/- over one game. Too many ways it can be skewed.

They spoiled AI's debut, which was the national hook
Now maybe this will finally let people see we have some reasons to be hopeful
like BOMRI, who does not play like a rook.
I think Hawes will start now
But Bomri will still come off the bench.
No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....
I sure hope
that Hawes starts. Last two games reminds us why we were so high on him going into the offseason.
really really glad he turned it around.
Imagine Hawes and JT playing at their best.
33 Wins. Yeah, I said it.
I'm still high on him
These 2 games proved why the Kings are still high on him. They were down on him because PW decided to bring him off the bench. This Hawes is what the Kings want every night. If they get it, he will put up monster numbers. Tonight was not a fluke. These are all things Spencer can do consistently.

agreed
Seems to have gotten the boost in confidence that was lacking early. Maybe his ankle was tweaked more then we knew? Who knows…
I also think he was struggling to figure out his fit in the offense
My hope is that he can fit together with Tyreke from now on.
No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....
He Should
Just like with May. Set the screen, roll out, get the pass and hit. Spence did it earlier in SA so I don’t see why they can’t be a good duo.
Kings rule! (They are royalty - right?)
I know
I’m hoping that isn’t just a bi-product of small sample size. If Spencer continues to set screens, I think he & Tyreke will be a great combo.

Putting Spencer in the high post
Really plays to his strengths as a passer, screener and jump shooter.

That Hawes-Nocioni-Casspi front line really clicked.

Put JT
in his comfort zone and start him alongside Spence. With Hawes playing like he has the last couple of games it takes a lot of pressure of JT do have to do everything on the front line especially protecting the rim. May is too big a liability on defense IMO. Did I just make my first May fat joke?
I really can't wait to see how May performs off the bench
It’s not his fault that Spencer started slow.
No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....
I like May off the bench
and I think we’ll see some changes next game. Mason and May out of the starting lineup, being replaced by Nocioni and Hawes. I think that would give us our best chance at competing. Kings cannot afford to keep spotting teams a 10 point lead to start the game.
NO I think Mason will start
Whether he plays big minutes or not is immaterial. May was only starting until Hawes got his act together. Now Hawes has his act together, what’s the point to start May?
On the other hand, Mason is not May and should start. So gotta disagree with that.
Time to write my recap. LOL

And the best part is he can come off the bench to give the Kings an energy jolt.

Comment malfunction
When I was at the Blazers and Jazz game in the preseason, I could not get over the height advantage given up by the Kings. If Noc gets significant minutes at PF, then that only worsens the chance of effective rebounding and post defense IMO.
Depends on the opponent
Naturally Noc isn’t going to be able to guard a team that starts two twin towers. But we match up well in small ball lineups.

He dropped a goose egg tonight and Nocioni and Casspi both had good games.

Yeah I dont think you can have a starter like Mason likely to only avg
2.2 points a game. That is a dilemma.
I like a second unit of Beno, Martin/Reke or Mason, Casspi, Brockman, May.
I prefer Casspi coming off the bench
You can always play him a lot of minutes if Mason isn’t playing well. Gives Omri more room for error. He played the best game of his short career tonight (by far), but that’s still only one game.

I wish TNT crew was doing NBA tv.
But Barkley would’ve still found a way to call the Kings wimps.
We gotta beat the Jazz on Sat. to earn some raised eyebrows.
Actually not that tough of a month—except for the Texas teams back to back.
I just wanna see Reke continue to improve and make some smart decisions—aka, more drives and kick outs to open shooters. He needs to average 16-19 points to take pressure off of Martin. He could be a 15, 6, 6 guy every night.
Grizzlies are not crap anymore. Gasol was a beast.
And Conley and Mayo are tough. Rudy Gay may not quite be worth the money he wants though.

Pretty forgettable game for May
I’m pretty sure Hawes earned a start.
The Tyreke-May two-man game was driving me nuts. Beno is a much better floor general than Evans at this point. Tyreke’s going to be very good, but he’s got a long way to go. His passes all seem to be juuuust out of the reach of the defenders. They’ll wise up to that and he’ll turn the ball over even more if he doesn’t stop passing across the court or while falling backwards.
m*****f***ing c***s***ing peanut butter and jelly!! f*** f*** f***!!!
Well, it helps
that we were playing Mike Conley Jr. instead of Chris Paul or Tony Parker tonight. Helped Beno contribute. And you got to hand it to Tyreke for playing with the ankle. Tough kid.

Reke impressed me
He gutted out a game he didn’t have to play. I wouldn’t have blamed him if he sat it out.
No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....
Definitely.
Tyreke was a horse. He didn’t get to the hoop as well today, and that’s probably due, in part, to his ankle. He’ll definitely have better nights than tonight—it’s just nice to know that our backup PG is quite capable in his own right. Not to say that Beno should be the full-time starter. I think that more often than not, Tyreke will be the better matchup for the Kings.
m*****f***ing c***s***ing peanut butter and jelly!! f*** f*** f***!!!
If Beno becomes very valuable as a backup PG
You can bet money the Kings won’t even take offers to move Beno.

There are not a ton of backup PG's that give a team what they want
The bad thing is that Beno is overpaid. The good thing is that if he plays well the Kings may make a decision to keep him based on his play.
On the other hand, if he does play well the Kings may decide to get out from under his contract. The problem is that backup PG’s are not even a luxury in reality. I’m very positive the Kings will trade Noc by the deadline. Beno? I don’t think he entices enough teams to want to take him on so it’s probably a real moot point.

Disappointment was my closest friend

Reke has to use his ability to get to rim effortlessly
to set up crashing JT or Hawes in the lane with easy dunks or layups.
That wrap-around pass from him should be a bread-and-butter play.
Tyreke is still
more of a physical specimen than a true basketball player. Still pretty speclal for a 20-year-old playing his fourth NBA game on one good leg.

The thing about Tyreke
His instincts are good. He sees the play and he tries to make it, but his passes are not where they need to be, especially when he’s driving. And his shot needs some work. But he can get to the rim at-will and is the best point guard defender we have on the roster. Plus the guy is putting in ludicrous hours in the gym. I think he’ll improve alot by the end of the year.
He doesn't know the league
the players, the competition – yet.
Needs to crank it up a notch.

Yes and no. Evans, KMart, Casspi, JT and Hawes.
Noce and Beno as 6th/7th men for points, May and Brockness for rebs, K9 for D (?!?!), Sergio for running game, Donte as human victory cigar
There can only be one Noce!
Nocioni to start
I would prefer Noc to start. Omri is more of a spark plug off the bench right now and when Kevin comes out, Omri can slide over to the SG position.
Kings rule! (They are royalty - right?)
Casspi looks hungry doing anything.
That guy is an overachiever who just brings intensity and preparation.
something the Kings desperately needed. Really smart move to get that guy.

Im still not sure if, for time being, Casspi is not better as the spark plug

If you respect the vetaran/toughness factor, Noce should probably start.
But Hawes definitely needs to start.

You can only dress 12, Donte didn't make the cut
Hawes will start on Wednesday, no doubt about it. PW may be stubborn, but he is not stupid.
I also think there is a 50-50 chance Omri will start on Wednesday. When PW studies the tape, he will see Omri did everything right tonight. Desmond Mason did not even see the light of day after the first 3 minutes of the game. How can you start a guy you played 3 minutes, then benched the next 50? Again, PW is no dummy.
Is the "starting" experiment over?
I think May and Mason sit. Also, what’s up with Hoss Brockman not getting any more minutes than he did? On a night when we got murdered on the boards, I would have thought he’d have gotten more “P.T.”

Mason played 6 mins
May played just over 9 mins. Brockman didn’t get into the game because Noc & JT were getting those mins at 4 tonight.

Noce and JT playing well enough for the Kings to not need Brockness at PF
There can only be one Noce!
So everybody is ready to start
Hawes and Casspi. Why aren’t you ready to start Beno too? Evans has only played one solid game out of four. I think Hawes will start. But I don’t think Casspi or Evans are at a point in their games where they have earned the start.
"Shut up and Coach!"
Vfettke
Until Evans ankle heals completely, Beno should start
but Evans brings better defense, and a different offensive look. Beno’s defense looked better against Conley but he gets eaten alive against better PG’s. But, it wouldn’t be the worst thing to happen if Tyreke came off the bench for a while.
I’d like to see Tyreke pick up Beno’s short pop & drop shot.
"If you don't have anything good to say, LIE" - Mom
Why Beno?
First, I’d argue the point that Evans has only had one solid game…if you look strictly at his offense, maybe. But the overall package has been pretty solid. Second, hasn’t Beno only played one solid game this season?
Desmond Mason - Untied the balloon in Colorado, forged Obama's birth certificate, and ruined the careers of Omri Casspi and Tyreke Evans.
Westphal
It looks like WP is trying different combos, and finding out what each player can bring. If he’s any good he’ll be able to utilize the specific talents of each player and find them all roles. Or, at least that’s what I hope.
No, he's going to ride whoever is playing well
but sometimes when you ride the lead horse you end up losing in the stretch.
Hawes came in at the 4min marke of the 1st, and PW played him all but 5 mins of the entire rest of the game. He didn’t get a rest of more than 1 minute, until he got 2 shots blocked because he had no lift in his jump. Then he got a full 3 minutes. Martin played all but 30 sec.
In the N.O. game PW went the whole 4th quarter with Brockman, and left Spencer & May on the bench. Brockman had been playing well, but in a close game having a energy guy who doesn’t score well or shot FT’s can be a liability.
It worked for PW in the Memphis game but not so well in the NO game. I hope this isn’t a trend for PW. Just because we aren’t deep at the SG & Center, doesn’t mean PW can leave these guys out there indefinitely. It’s an 82 game season, but they won’t make it to the end at this pace. Now, that we have a win, let’s hope PW settles into a normal rotation.
"If you don't have anything good to say, LIE" - Mom
I think Westphal
played every minute or close in one of those multiple OT playoff classics (I think against Houston), so he probably thinks these guys should be able to do it as well.

I take that back
Only 5 guys had 20 or more mins for Memphis and it was the starters. Conley had the least amount of mins at 36.
Allen Iverson had a touch less than 18 mins, and DeMarre Carroll had about 16 mins. Nobody else had more than 7.
Likewise with Sac, You had 7 guys with 20+ mins, but you also had 3 guys log more than 6 mins each.
Sac was far more balanced in mins last night. It’s not even close.

He was born on a summer day, 1951
And with the slap of a hand
He had landed as an only son
His mother and father said “what a lovely boy”
We’ll teach him what we learned
Ah yes, just what we learned
We’ll dress him up warmly and
We’ll send him to school
It’ll teach him how to fight
To be nobody’s fool
Oh, oh, what a lonely boy
Oh, what a lonely boy
Oh, what a lonely boy

Brought him a sister
But she told him “we must attend to her needs”
“She’s so much younger than you"
Well, he ran down the hall and he cried
Oh, how could his parents have lied
When they said he was an only son
He thought he was the only one
Oh, oh, what a lonely boy
Oh, what a lonely boy
Oh, what a lonely boy
[Instrumental Interlude]
He left home on a winter day, 1969
And he hoped to find all the love
He had lost in that earlier time
Well, his sister grew up
And she married a man
He gave her a son
Ah yes, a lovely son
They dressed him up warmly
They sent him to school
It taught him how to fight

Reke’s production though was rough… injury bothering him?
There's nothing to fear but everything.
AI
all class:
He said he had no problems with his hamstring, but had a big problem with the playing time he got from coach Lionel Hollins.
“Go look at my resume and that will show you that I’m not a sixth man,” Iverson said. “I don’t think it has anything to do with me being selfish. It’s just who I am. I don’t want to change what gave me all the success that I’ve had since I’ve been in this league.”

He didn't come out for warmups before the second half
I guess he was “getting treatment”
The future begins now...
The whole AI thing is mind-blowing
So…Memphis’ brass didn’t think this through before signing him?
The entire planet knows AI wants to start, why are you signing him and bringing him off the bench if you didn’t talk to him first?
I’m not saying Iverson is right for his stance, but everyone knows what it is after the Detroit mess last year; how you could not take it into account before signing him is terrible management by the front office.
Professional Hyperbole Slayer
Well
They are only paying him $3.5 million.
Besides, that’s a two -way equation: if Iverson is so hung up on still being “the man,” why did he sign with a team that’s embracing a youth movement for the most part?
Truth is, Iverson didn’t have any other options.
Truth No. 2: Iverson is still probably a better option than Conley, who may never really pan out as a top PG.
Also, it was his first game back, so I am sure he’s going to be playing more minutes, although I am not sure where they are going to come from. Maybe he takes 18 minutes a game from Conley and 8-12 from Mayo.

Good lowlight
That drive by Gay, was a good example of one of the Kings problems on defense. As Martin and Gay drove to the basket, not one other King was below the FT line. The bigs are setting up too far out in front of the basket, and players are getting behind them on fast breaks.
The same thing happened in the NO game when Sergio tried to guard Paul. Paul drove the length of the court with Sergio on him the whole time. But, when Paul made his layup, the deepest King other than Sergio, was May who was just getting to the dotted line.
There were other examples of players getting behind the Kings for easy baskets, off long passes on fast breaks. Add, to that the fact that the guards aren’t getting back when the bigs are shooting and we end up losing the Fast Break Pts battle.
"If you don't have anything good to say, LIE" - Mom
Starting lineup should be:
Evans, Martin, Mason, JT, Hawes
Hawes, because May hasn’t earned the minutes lately, and if Spencer is going to be a dynamic decision maker, he needs to be that guy with the core of the team.
Nocioni should come off the bench, because with the bench he’s a core player and can do his thing. If he plays with the starters, he should be a role player, shooting open shots but not dominating the ball. He needs more freedom than that, which is why he leads the bench for me and plays the 4thQ when we have good matchups or he’s going well.
Casspi needs to keep coming off the bench. Its working right now, he doesn’t need the pressure of squaring off against starting small forwards yet. Give him time to keep being successful.

A drawn-up play that works at the end of a game. Haven’t seen much of that since Adelman left, although I was flashing back to a play in Theus’ tenure where Bibby picked (I think D Wade) and Kevin was free for a pass form Miller that led to a layup.

One aspect of the play that's interesting I thought
If that pass isn’t there, what was the rest of the play?
Were we going to let Spencer take the top of the key jumper to decide the game if the passing options weren’t there?
If so, its a large amount of faith placed in Hawes at crunch time.
Professional Hyperbole Slayer
Would it have bothered you if Hawes takes that shot?
Because I just saw a youtube clip of it at CK, and it very much looked like to me that Spencer wasn’t even in a position to shoot the ball.

I take that back
I think he could have very easily taken the shot or passed it to Omri who was wide open to Spencer’s left.

No, I wouldn't have been bothered by it
I do think it says a lot about what Westphal is doing with Spencer though.
If PW really had issues with Spencer, is he drawing up the play that way and putting the game in his hands? I think it was a statement to a couple of things:
1) like coolcat said, its a team
2) he has some faith in Spencer as a core part of the team
Not to blow one play too much out of proportion or anything, but I did find it an interesting decision by the coach.
Professional Hyperbole Slayer
Only 1.7secs left after Beno's basket
I don’t know if there was time to pass to anyone else.
In Martin’s post game interview, he indicated that they expected Memphis to double him, and that the Kings needed to spread the big shot around. Not to continue to rely on Martin (my paraphrase). They had been running th offense through Hawes in the high post and beno off screens, the entire game. Hawes was hitting his medium range shots, so I suspect that Hawes taking the shot was the last option.
"If you don't have anything good to say, LIE" - Mom
There was plenty of time HT
1.7 secs is an eternity to get a shot off at the end of an NBA game. Omri was also wide open on the other side of the court. He would have at least gotten a wide open look if.
If you watch this, watch the beginning of the clip HT. You’ll notice that Omri moves to the open spot and Rudy Gay didn’t even react. Omri would have been wide open even if Beno hadn’t been.
No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....
A bit of good fortune
Beno did a great job of using his body to shield Randolph and also making the shot with his right (off) hand. If Randolph blocks the shot or if Beno misses it, we are crying in our soup. Maybe the better options were faking the pass and taking the shot or passing to Casspi for the open three to win or lose the game right there.
Best thing is it’s nice to see us run a final play where we actually had multiple options. And it’s truly great to see us find a way to win a game like that instead of believing we will find a way to cough it up. Nice building block for the team.
It was also nice to see Beno exert some leadership. The team needs it. The previous bucket he made on the short jumper was just as crucial and came late in the shot clock. Usually that results in a shot clock violation, but Beno really stuck with it and used all his weapons to get a quality shot and then make it.
I also enjoyed seeing multiple offensive options come to the fore in the game as a whole to match the loaded offensive arsenal the Griz brought to town.

Your right about there being enough time
But, there’s no guarantee that Omri makes a clean catch. And, we only needed a 2, so why gamble.
Also, Spencer made a couple of shots for that area already, so I let him take the shot.
"If you don't have anything good to say, LIE" - Mom
Why not let the angel balance on the head of a pin juggling chainsaws & matchsticks....
I mean, this is totally counter-intuitive in my mind. The question was what if Beno didn’t cut?
Well, he did. I mean I don’t realize to be flip, but I only think there are so many options. Pass to Beno (happened), Spence take shot or passing to Omri.
We know what happened. I find it difficult to speculate on what should have happened if what happened didn’t.

Dead By Christmas
Life is every mammal's journey from very very wet to very very dry.
Feels good to get the win
Was constantly checking my phone for the score, and I saw it at Memphis 110, Kings 108 with like 5 seconds left and thought “Oh great, here we go again”, but it looks like we actually have a coach who can draw up actual plays.
I think Spencer won his starting spot tonight, but I’m still for Mason starting. It’s not like Mason is going to play all that much, just have him start and pull him if the teams offense is lacking.
Martin had another great shooting performance, but all the minutes worry me. Also, he took 27 shots, In 4 games this season, he’s already had two games where he’s shot more than he’s ever had in his career. But I’m ok with that if he’s getting 48 points.
Casspi had a very nice game it looks like, but reading the game thread I’m very disappointed in Jerry. Cassptastic? Omnipotent? If Jerry has a twitter, we need to suggest Bomb-ri.
Tyreke probably shouldn’t have played today, I think his ankle was bothering him a lot. Other than points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists in 24 minutes isn’t bad. But if he isn’t feeling better Wednesday, I’d be fine having him sit. No need to aggravate it.
And Beno. This is the Beno I want to show up every game.
Damn it feels good to win. Let’s get to 4-4 guys!

Mason and May should not start
We need starters who can get out to a lead not get us into a 10+ point hole within the first 5 minutes. Hawes and Nocs need to start.

I to am concerned about PW playing guys too many minutes
hope he changes now that he has his first win. PW played Hawes too long also. He only got a one minute break after entering in the 1st half. And, the only reason he got a 3 minute break in the second half, was that his legs gave out so badly, the he got 2 shots blocked under the basket.
My thinking on Mason is that Omri is going to take the starting job before Christmas. Because the Kings aren’t going 14 of 25 from 3pt range very often. And, we’re not going to get alot of scoring out of our bigs on a regular basis. We can’t afford Mason’s lack of offense. And, if Mason isn’t starting and ends up get limited minutes as the 3rd SF, we might as well play Donte. Send Mason packing and save the money to spend on another center.

Mason's staying for the duration of the year
Get used to it. Especially with Cisco out. But don’t expect him to play more than 20 minutes ever.
The way I see it, start Mason to bring that little extra defense early, but if we start off bad offensively you have the option of bringing in Casspi. Casspi is who I want to be our 6th man while Cisco’s out.

Could very well be that he stays
PW seems to overplay the guys he like. And, I expect him to like Omri & Noc better. Mason got 6 mins. with a zero stat line in every category. I don’t expect PW to like that very much. Once Mason loses his starting job, he’s on the fast train to unemployment. Cause after that I don’t expect him to get 10mpg.

I'm sorry guys. Bomb-ri is kind of funny on a blog and kind of not,
but do you seriously think it can be said on TV?
Thousands of the man’s countrymen have died due to shelling and suicide bombs from the Palestinians and thousands of Palestinians have died from Israeli attacks.
There’s a pretty good chance Omri would be offended if he heard it, and it’s almost a sure thing that Jerry would lose his job if he said it on TV.

PW has shown that he'll stick with whomever has the hot hand
And when he gives them a short breather, it’s a really short breather.
What’s the over/under on Casspi being ROY? If he keeps this production through New Years, his name should pop up on the top 10 ROY list, if not top 5.
There's nothing to fear but everything.
