I'm considered a big guard in this league and going against Tyreke I felt little tonight.

Ironically enough
I was thinking about Tyreke and who he and his game reminded me of and I thought of a bigger Arenas. I think right now Arenas is a better perimeter shooter, but assuming Tyreke improves there…be afraid. Be very afraid.
Please consider the environment before reading this signature.
And yet, I'm watching SportsCenter right now, and they just finished running through the NBA highlights for the night...
And no mention of the Kings.
Stay classy ESPN.

true dat
Tyreke’s game-winning steal was better than Kobe’s game-winning shot, especially since Kobe got bailed out big-time by the ref when he travelled on the previous play.
The Tyreke play should have made the ESPN highlights because of his consideration for R.O.Y. and his steal coming against one of the elite players in Gilbert Arenas.
put me in, Coach
Travelled and offensive foul
I would not be a happy camper if I were a Bucks fan.

Yep
But it’s a good thing that star calls don’t affect the outcome of games.

Arenas got a star call last night, too.
That dead ball foul? If you watch the replay, there was no jersey holding involved. Totally bogus, and just about cost us the game.

and its not uncommon—a lot of players hold jerseys. like you said, they usually don’t call it

One shot and posession when they're down by two.
That call should never have happened.

When you win
Ref’s notice that stuff.

Style over substance
ESPN highlights are all about the bling. Had Arenas not fouled Evans and Evans went on to dunk, it would have made the highlights, even though his free throw conversions are much more impressive when you consider his age and the game circumstances.
Brandon Roy doesn’t make a lot of ESPN highlights either – he’s just a freakin’ stud, Tyreke’s stealthy play may not make a lot of top ten lists, but he’s ours and that’s OK by me.

They actually commented on that a little early on
He made a really crisp bounce pass to someone and JVG started talking about how he made the pass that needed to be made without any flash or flair like a lot of youngsters would. He did what was needed to get the points.

Great point, 214.
ESPN doesn’t get advertising money if they didn’t show replays of Nash, Bron-Bron, Wade and Kobe. Those guys are the money making poster boys for the NBA and sports shows in general.
There’s no doubt Tyreke will have his day soon enough.
Even the Spurs don’t get as much love for the same reason.
33 Wins. Yeah, I said it.
Yep.
I suspect this will always be the way it is too.

And really it doesn't matter like winning does
ESPN highlights are for all fans and they try to get the most exciting highlights for the group as a whole. Thats what good marketers do. Atleast we don’t have to depend on the national fan base to give out awards based upon what they see on ESPN. When all is said and done Reke will get his regonition from those that know the game best (e.g. coaches and GM’s), who vote for ROY and All Star apperances.
I hope I stated that correct. I forget if the media have votes or not? But you get my point anyways.

Its why god invented youtube
and great blogs such as StR, filled with quality writers; such as Aykis. We are here to give rise to the little people, and a nod to the STARS who don’t have the flash of other STARS to qualify as ESPN material.
Yes, without Aykis we would never get to imagine Red Peaches shooting a derringer.

I'm beyond caring about ESPN highlights
Seriously, who gives a crap what some network decides to show? I used to watch Sportscenter for highlights, but with things like the Kingsflix channel on YouTube and the ability to watch archived games via League Pass (if I wanted it), it doesn’t matter. You can still see the highlights and get excited, whether the Kings are getting “respect” from a bunch of Big Media chumps at ESPN.

It's ok Gil
To quote section214, “It’s not the size of your Johnson Brockman that matters, its what you do with it”.
That’s what he was talking about right?

I dont know

I keep reading all the hype, the “20-5-5” stuff, and think, he’ll stay around here for a while, then he comes out and pulls what he did last night ….. I think I’ll name my first born Tyreke now.

Do you think bigger point gurads will start to be a trend?
Teams may be looking at bigger guards because of mismatch problems. If the guy has handles like a point guard but built like a 2 guard let him do it.
There's a reason you rarely see big guards like that
Its because most of them don’t have the skill of a Tyreke Evans.
Purchase you're tickets to the first ever StR Night at ARCO Arena, 12/28/09 v. the Nuggets. Link is here!
How many "big" point guards can you think of in the last 20 years?
Magic, Penny, Mark Jackson, Jason Kidd, Ron Harper, Gilbert Arenas?
I’m sure there’s more, but they are few and far between compared to the sample size.
"Even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace; When he shuts his lips, he is considered perceptive." Proverbs 17:28
Thanks, wow, I thought for sure he was bigger but
I think it had to do with him taking the other guards to the post alot. I cant wait for Martin to get back and have Casspi on the other side of the floor so Reke can kick it out to one of them for the open three when they double in the post.

The Clippers tried it w/ Shawn Livingston
He seemed like he was coming along before the knee injury, but not that quickly. Tyreke is almost the first of his kind…
The NBA: "Where 27 free throws happens"
And the Suns tried it with Boris Diaw
That didn’t work out. Livingston would have worked because he had great quickness and court vision pre-injury. He still has the vision, but his quickness just isn’t there. I feel bad for the guy, he looked pretty good.

Yeah, there was this one 6"8' small forward guy that acted like a PG a while back.
He lasted for while, and I guess he did OK.
All joking aside, like Aykis said, it’s rare to see someone at that height still having the necessary quickness and ball handling ability to play the point. There has always been a few, but there has never been many. The 6"5’ or over PG will always be a slight anomaly.
Luckily we’ve got one!

That would be Boris Diaw
Fantastic passer for a forward, played the point in Europe, definitely shouldn’t play the point in the NBA.

Lets not forget about Penny
he was a beast pre injury…..6’ 7" btw

My thoughts exactly
He wasn’t as big as Reke but he was damn good. I am so glad he did fade away as I was going to shoot Lil’ Penny in the face.
wow, and you all call yourselves Kings Fans
the Big O was the prototypical big point guard. Remember, the guy averaged a triple double and he had an ugly jump shot as well.

Next year we have John Wall coming in
And barring some miracle luck in the draft lottery, we’re not going to get him. But Wall is 6’4 with freakish length as well. Seeing him and Tyreke go at it for years will be fun. Kings v. Nets NBA Finals 2013! Evans/Martin/Casspi/Thompson/Hawes v. Wall/Harris/CDR/Amar’e/Lopez

Wall is great and all..
I’d just rather get a big man with big time post moves…like an Al Jefferson with crazy rebounding and shot blocking skills. I’m still scouring the NCAA games to find who that might be but I have a feeling he’s out there.
33 Wins. Yeah, I said it.

He was playing like a Man amongst boys.
It really looked like he was getting bored out there because it was so easy for him to just stuff any little guard coming in through the paint.

Stunning oversights.
a) somehow didn’t get Yi Jianlian in there.
b) I thought it was trendy to totally hate Hawes right now for a minute.
Lower their expectations and rise to met them
This may be a niave question,
but I was wondering if anyone was aware if teams do scouting reports on referees to see what type of calls they usually make?
I don't think they have an official scouting report
but I think they have an idea of the tendencies of each ref
That's interesting.
I’m sure they do. So glad that one woman ref didn’t do our game last night. She has the tendency to call ticky-tack fouls ALL the time.

Do things like that. I remember reading some things on Cuban’s blog awhile ago remarking about ref stats and such. he was whining as per usual but they did have staff specifically for this.
Yes!
This site seems to be working normally for me again. Where their changes made or something?
I made a complaint last night to TZ & 214 among others
That the 2nd half game thread just slowed to an absolute crawl. (I Had the same problem on Bedge later too actually.) Hopefully it is fixed.

Watching Tyreke last night...
A thing of beauty, his game. I don’t know which stuff I like better. The one on Deron Williams or the one last night on Arenas.
He just has a complete game. It seems like a lot of bigger guards are either good scorers or good defenders and not both. Stars, however, have both and Tyreke fits in that mold. Definitely.
Bold prediction. Tyreke Evans, by the end of the year, will have stuffed more all-star players than any other guard in the league.
Nah
Wade will have. But its ok, Reke will catch up.

Wade is a monster. 'Reke has a little while before he can match the defensive timing that Wade has...
But I think with his length advantage, he’s gonna get there pretty soon.

All I really want this Christmas
is for Reke to torch Jennings for 55+ this weekend.
Not sure I’ll get it, since Reke doesn’t put up gaudy numbers in a single game to become ESPN’s flavor of the month — but here’s hoping.
There's nothing to fear but everything.
I'd rather
him go for 25 and hold Jennings to single digits. I think that would say more about his overall game than putting up huge numbers.
I also believe that Tyreke Evans is making his teammates better.
They aren’t standing around waiting for him to “be” the offense (oh, those old Kings teams when the strategy for the last two minutes was “give it to Mitch and clear out”).
I think that Tyreke has been a very positive influence on Donté – he has set the bar higher and now his fellow young’uns are working to keep up. They see him defending and they defend harder/better as well.
