I'll be listening to much of this when I drive home tonight
Dear Kings,
My fellow commuters would be very appreciative if you played really well between the hours of 6 and 7 PM.
Thank you.

did you guys read the Tyreke feature on NBA's page?
Not sure if it was posted already, but fantastic stuff to read about Tyreke and how mature and humble he is:

Holy heck. Anyone catching this sad NJ Nyets v. Raptors game?
Down by over 30 halfway through the second Q (53-21), the Nets have shot no FT and have 12 TOs? I think they should fire the coach….. oh wait…………..
They need to get rid of Lopez

Casspi strikes me as the type that can have the beard back by 3 PM tomorrow
the Rich Aurilia of basketball.
SACTOWN ROYALTY - Try our thick creamy shakes!
Hey -
Aurilia played into his 60’s. If we can get the same longevity out of Casspi…

Yeah
But he was only productive for his first four years in the league.

Yet only down 7 against a team that will let you back in it in as fast as 2 minutes. Am I being too positive?

I'm thinkin that PW is going to be applying a little kick ass during the half
he may mention that

So we usually take about 18 3s a game
We are 2-17 in the first half tonight. We are shooting 15-30 from 2 though. Might want to take more of those.

Yes, I guess that's the point
if we made a normal percentage of them, they’d be good decisions, mostly.
There were a few terrible ones though.
Professional Hyperbole Slayer
So seeing that we are not hitting them at all right now
do you:
a) stop shooting them
or
b) figure we’ll start hitting them and keep gunning?
I’m not sure what the right answer is, but I think if it was me I’d be looking to try and get it inside a bit more.

I don't think we have many advantages inside
they double JT everytime he touches it, he has to pass out.
4 guys meet Tyreke everytime he drives, that’s going to result in a TO or a pass for a jumpshot. More Beno and Omri is the answer, to make the shots.
Professional Hyperbole Slayer
personally
i dont think guys that can knock down an open 3 should ever pass one up, unless maybe the last minute of the game or so

PW needs to send the team out to run around in the freezing drizzle
to wake them up
"I make love to pressure" - Stephen Jackson
Is it OK for us to say that Hawes is not getting better....and perhaps sucks now?
I expressed worry in the preseason and at the beginning of the season over Hawes seeming backslide, and all I got was, “it’s only preseason….it’s only the beginning” etc. Hawes is pissing me off.
'Reke = too easy
Spence = too early to say he sucks. There’s a difference between not playing well and sucking.
"I make love to pressure" - Stephen Jackson
wait, wait
you watched this first half and Hawes was the one you were disappointed in?
Professional Hyperbole Slayer
Nocioni?
Hawes only played 8 minutes…you guys need to find another whipping boy for the other 16.
Hawes played pretty well this half, he certainly played harder than anyone other than maybe Omri.
Professional Hyperbole Slayer
Hawes is the whipping boy because he deserves to be.
He pouts. He’s inconsistent. He needs to go after boards. He doesn’t. The Kings need him to play aggressive, but it’s not going to happen.
True, it is only my opinion
I admit that I am very frustrated with Hawes and his seeming lack of effort.
no matter how much you don't like Hawes
you can’t honestly say he didn’t play hard that half.
Professional Hyperbole Slayer
I don't see a lack of effort
a lack of confidence, yes. A lack of progress, yes. But not a lack of effort.

Hard doesn't necessarily = good
both Omri and Hawes sometimes let their adrenaline take control of their brain…only it happens much less to Omri
Truly pathetic ballgame and effort
And yet still very winnable if they stop settling for 3s and starting playing some D.

just my thoughts
as much as I like westphaul, Im not a huge fan of the tinkering that he does with the starting lineup on a nightly basis.
Put that in your juice box and suck it
personally I think his tinkering with the line up is what has kept us in so many games
until Kevin and cisco come back he can’t really settle on his starting rotation. From what we’ve seen so far, even when they come back I think he’s going to be moving players in and out depending on the match up and how they have been playing
"I make love to pressure" - Stephen Jackson
Its a testament to how good Tyreke's been
that this half has been pretty bad, by his standards.
Professional Hyperbole Slayer
Yeah, only 8-4-4
slacker!

I hope they put it together in the second half
We don’t have the luxury of playing down to the level of our competition. Particularly on the road.

He’s been set for ages. You had 2 guys open on the other side

we could add Corey Brewer to the ugly list

That's all I've been able to find
I have NBA league pass, and its so choppy that I prefer this crappy pixelated view because it at least plays smoothly
put me in, Coach
that's weird
The International league pass is amazing.

terrible body language out there
their heads have never appeared to be in this game
Good Minnesota team or not
Kings seem to have trouble playing there, maybe anywhere this year…

3 things we have learned
1. Tyreke..is human…afterall
2. Omri may not be completely ready for starters minutes
3. Hawes NEEDS to start to play well, which is unfortunate.
Put that in your juice box and suck it
It seems like the team is a bit too out of control most times
Godfather of the "nice ass" movement.... the future begins now...
Can someone who is watching tell me what the kings problem has been?
From the audio it sounds like horrible transition defense coupled with horrific shooting on open shots.

No more mean face. He looks like a taller Tom Cruise.

maybe they’ll play better, might get some hometown support too.

Is just really Jamarcus Russell in a basketball jersey.

good call!
obviously Jamarcus isn’t a football player…perhaps he’s found his call on the t-wolves
I just turned on the game
I see tyreke is shooting horrible, whats the reason? Jumpers? Or just not having his way gettin to the bucket?

Yes
and we pick the wrog opponents to have bad games. Grizzlies first, now Wolves. Let’s see of we can pull this one out
Godfather of the "nice ass" movement.... the future begins now...
I think we weren't fired up enough for this one
haven’t been aggressive on offense at all. It was settle for jumpers from the opening tip.
