Preview: Pacers at Kings

THE OPPONENT
Of the four teams Sacramento met or will meet during this homestand, all have below average offenses, and three have dreadful offenses. Indiana is one of those three. The Pacers have averaged 101.3 points per 100 possessions this season, despite a wide-open offense predicated finding and taking the open three, and despite the presence of Danny Granger, a simply divine scorer.
Indiana has shot terribly from long-range this season: 30.8 percent, 24th in the league and some 40 points off league average. (By contrast, the Kings shoot 38.4 percent from distance, fourth in the league.) There is reason to believe this is just a cold start for Indiana: the team did shoot nearly 38 percent from three last season, and Troy Murphy in particular has been uncharacteristically errant, shooting 31 percent a year after shooting an incredible 45 percent. You figure Murphy (who takes nearly half his attempts from beyond the arc) will sort things out. You hope, of course, it doesn't come against the Kings, who this season have already given up a few big games to perimeter-based bigs, including Oklahoma City's Jeff Green, David West of New Orleans and Zach Randolph of Memphis.
If it's any matter, Indiana has improved quite a bit on defense. The team has surrendered 105 points per 100 possessions early this year, some 4.2 pt/100p better than last season, in which the team finished 19th in defense. If we may discuss specifics, Indiana has improved its shot defense (whether that's real or based on some well-timed opponent cold streaks remains to be seen) and its defensive rebounding remains solid. The Kings have risen to No. 9 in the league in team shooting, so, assuming the Kings aren't cold, our charges should challenge Indiana's new resistance. Further, Sacramento has managed to place 10th in foul-drawing, despite the absence of uberwhistlegetter Kevin Martin. No team fouls more frequently than Indiana. Jason Thompson and Tyreke Evans should get plenty of free throw attempts; let's hope Spencer Hawes and Donte Greene join them.
THE KEY BATTLE
Jason Thompson vs. Troy Murphy. Murphy, again, is perhaps the league's best massive shooter, a veritable Mehmet Okur without the excuse of European birth. Many consider this stigma to be just that -- a stigma, something to be frowned upon. But in actuality, Murphy (when his shot is true) is more valuable than your typical low post 17-point scorer. Why? Well, perimeter-based players are less susceptible to turnovers ... which is a huge deal for big men. Further, while free throws are the most efficient shots in the NBA, don't count out the fact that most big men suck at shooting free throws, and that three-pointers are, well, worth three points.
Murphy is also a great defensive rebounder, and that's where this battle could potentially turn in the Kings' favor: can Thompson steal more than a couple rebounds from Murphy and part-time running mate Jeff Foster? J.T. has shocked us against some other good-to-great defensive rebounders, so I'll keep that candle burning heading into tonight. Of course, I think I'd rather see the Kings hit all their shots. Thompson plays into that as well: every minute Roy Hibbert is not on the court is an opportunity for the Kings to run plays through J.T. in the post. On defense, Murphy is quick as frozen beets. Thompson has developed a few clever moves, and I hope he attacks with them tonight.
MEDICAL UPDATE
Team medical consultant Grant Napear reports that center Spencer Hawes (bruised knee) will either play tonight or wear women's underwear under his tailored suit.
INTERESTING SIDESHOW
The guard match-ups will be really interesting -- I write this Tuesday night with no clue if Donte Greene will continue to start, or if Beno Udrih will get back into the first five. If Paul Westphal sticks with Evans/Greene, Pacers two-guard Dahntay Jones (a solid if not better defender with decent size and strength) will potentially be assigned to mark Evans (Sacramento's top weapon) which leaves 5'11 T.J. Ford on 6'10 Greene. Guh. (Of course, if Jones guards Greene, then Evans will live in the post, with the only issue being with Foster or Hibbert can help quickly enough, and if so whether Evans can hit the open man cleanly.) If Beno re-enters the unit, he should be at an advantage across from Ford, but not nearly as big of one as Evans or Greene offers. It should be interesting.
NUMERIC PREDICTION
Kings by 8.
BOLD PROCLAMATION
The Dahntay/Donte transition dunk-off will be epic.
DETAILS
The game will begin at 7PM on Comcast SportsNet and KHTK 1140 AM. Game thread at 7, Game thread 2 at 8, post-game thread at 9:45, recap at IKEA West Sac.

Go Kings!
Since Murphy came back Hibbert has not been playing as solid as the early going. Abberition? Or cooling off (much like JT’s numbers last week).

Troy Murphy
You hope, of course, it doesn’t come against the Kings, who this season have already given up a few big games to perimeter-based bigs, including Oklahoma City’s Jeff Green, David West of New Orleans and Zach Randolph of Memphis.
We’ve done a pretty good job of limiting threes and contesting outside shots, but we continue to struggle in the paint. Both West and Randolph did most of their damage down low.
Murphy is decent on the take to the basket, but he starts a long ways from the basket and I think we can switch to contain him and even strip him before he gets there.

i really think that their bigs
Are just too slow to keep up with JT, Noce, Greene, and even Hawes.
Let Noce hassle Murphy out at the 3 point line. JT is quick enough to beat Hibbert on the boards.

Interesting. Noce might be able to rough Murphy up and disrupt his three point shooting.
There can only be one Noce!
Granger
I am wondering how Donte would do on him. Tall enough to possibly bother his outside game, quick enough to handle his drives.

I think Donte will continue to get starts
Mainly because of the matchup problems it creates, something I’m a big advocate of. I think Westphal is too, because he’s stuck with that lineup over the past few games, even with Beno playing well. Because he’ll still find minutes for Beno and Sergio.
Father of the "Natt this!" movement and Grandmaster of the "Never let AnotherStupidSN forget what a Sham-Wow is" Order.
i think Coach does that
since Greene is bigger than beno and will fit better in that role than beno.
imagine yourself as the starting pg, lose your job to a rookie, get some starts at sg, back to bench. That could hurt beno since he won’t be accustomed to his new role.
We never get to see Indiana play
But I’d remind our young Kings that they have had thier way with us the last two years on both courts – AND THIS MUST NOT STAND!
1st: I essentially agree with CC. Limit points in the paint first. Thats the book on us, that we’re vulnerable there.
2nd: If you limit Granger and Murphy you Will outscore these guys.
defense young men – defense
Our offense will take care of itself.

I watched the Pacers last game against the Warriors
The Pacers have a lot of talent, they lost the game because they were all disjointed, a bit too much one-on-one play, and defensively had no answer for Monta Ellis (45 points) even though he fouled out with 6 minutes left in the 4th quarter.
IMO the Pacers are under-achieving so far this season. Mike Dunleavy looks healthy after knee injury. TJ For is SO quick. Danny Granger can score from anywhere on the court, although if you can make him a volume shooter, then I don’t think he beats you single-handedly. I imagine Donte Greene will match up with him to start. Noce, and Omri will take turns too.
Dantay Jones has come into his own as a player. Great athlete could give Tyreke Evans a bit of trouble. Jones really gets after it, and type of guy who will take a match-up personally. Tyreke needs to bring “A” game.
Foster and Troy Murphy are no slouches down low. They attack the glass. Fortunately, this has been a strength for us, so I think we will battle well, as long as JT gets help and avoids dreaded fouls.
Overall, it is going to take a solid, solid effort to get a win. Transition defense is a key tonight too. I anticipate close game in the 4th quarter and then our new found ability to make runs and fight off opponents will take effect and get us the victory.
Yeah
I bet they’ll have Dahntay man up on Tyreke—remember when Dahntay was a King? TJ Ford was easily getting past the rather quick (but poorly-resolved) Warriors PGs, could be a problem for us. Luckily, I don’t think they have a decent finisher for TJ to dish it to.
A Hansborough-Bron Jockman matchup would be GREAT to behold—hope it happens.
Is Hansborough 25 draft picks better than Brockness?
Hansborugh went #13.
Brockman went #38. I don’t think there is that big of difference. Neither one of them are big scorers, both based their games on hustle, rebounds and effort. I think the Pacers reached a little bit on that pick.
In fact, is Hansborough 10 picks better than Omri Casspi?
Casspi went #23.
2009 stats:
Omri 23.7 minutes / 10.3 points / 3.7 rebs / 1.1 assts / 52% FG / EFF 9.67
Hansborgough 15.3 minutes/ 7.3 pts / 4.3 rebs / 1.0 asst / 38% FG / EFF 7.36
Tyler Hansborough was injured to start the season, but when I have seen him he seems very Darius Songlia – like in his skills. Fundamentally sound, but definitely not star potential. He may have long career, but I think Omri has more upside.
I could think of about 20 players picked after Hansborough I would rather have.
Casspi is definently one of them.
I think Hansborough will end up being one of the 15th best players in the draft
The issue is value, and what the Pacers needed at this time and for the future. I’m not really sure what Omri Casspi does for the Pacers if you take Hansborough. Hansborough was drafted 13th, and I’m not sure what players I’d rather have than Hansborough if I were the Pacers. (Brockman would not be one of them.)
Are there better players than Hansborough? Sure. But he’s not so terrible that he won’t work out for the Pacers in the long run if he’s healthy.

Battle of the Paint
The Kings have scored 50 or more points in the paint over the last 7 games. And, they have out scored their opponents in the paint in 5 of those 7 games. IND will pose a tough challenge to that string. The Pacer’s are ranked 1st in Blocks per game averaging 7.4.
Rebounds, turnovers, steals and assists are all pretty even. So, our biggest advantage lies in FG% (47.2%) & 3P% (38.4%). While IND’s advantage seems to be FG% allowed (44.8%).
I credit much of our 3pt shooting success, to the fact that we are able to score so well in the paint. I think our bigs can attack the basket, against Hibbert & Foster who account for less than 2 of IND’s 7.4 bpg. And, Murphy & Hansbourgh average less than one block together. But, at the same time, I believe JT & Spencer need to start taking some 15-17foot jumpers if their man isn’t following them away from the basket. We need to punish them for packing the paint.
And, that goes for Tyreke also. Take a lesson from Beno. A 15ft jumper counts just as much as a layup. If their blocking you and waiting for you, pull up just inside the FT line and put up a little jumper. Your good from the FT line, so it shouldn’t be any more difficult.
With Rush starting for IND, I like the past lineup for the Kings with Greene starting over Beno. And, I think that Dunleavy is kind of the wild card here, just back 2 games and he’s shooting 52% and 17.5ppg.
The Pacers can put up big numbers, but I expect the Kings to hold them to under 100 and win by 9. But, we must keep them off the FT line, where Granger, Murphy, Dunleavy & Jones are all shooting over 80%.
"If you don't have anything good to say, LIE" - Mom
We need to get Hibbert into foul trouble
He’s more foul prone than JT, and he’s almost as good when he stays out of it, so if we can get him out early, thats a good thing.

Bold Prediction
Our offense goes really well for the first quarter and a half. We jump out to an early lead of as many as 10-15 pts.
Then in the middle of the second quarter we lose steam. The Pacers lock down better on defense and creep back into the game bringing it back to a single digit lead and maybe even coming even with us.
We send in Sergio at PG and the offense goes into overdrive with transition points going up and a resurgent Kings take back their double digit lead going into halftime.

His shooting numbers are plummeting
…which I forecast. Inevitable for a rookie PG shooting 50%. Though, I didn’t know he would struggle quite this much. In last 6 games, he is shooting a horrible 30% (30 for 99 FGs). His 3pt FG% has been OK, though. And he makes big plays in the clutch, and keeps his team in games. Overall, he has been great. But if he continues to lay bricks, the ROY race between Jennings and Tyreke will be neck-and-neck soon. Personally I think it is about even now, but Jennings has gotten twice the hype of Tyreke.
Making the Timberwolves run the triangle
might be one of those historically bad coaching decisions. Let’s see, we should run an offense that keeps Al Jefferson from getting good post up situations, the thing he does well, and doesn’t let Johnny Flynn be creative.

and as cancerous as I think Zach Randolph is
he is one offensively talented basketball player.

And Kurt Rambis won't play
Ramon Sessions and Jonny Flynn together, even though their off-guard is journeyman Damien Wilkins. Teaming up Flynn and Sessions would space the floor and give them a lot of quickness and ball movement for a team that can’t score. Apparently 2-15 is not a bad enough record for Rambis to mix it up.
Rambis,
May not know how to run anything else.

I thought he was out with a knee injury for a couple days
which meant he couldn’t move around that much since last Friday. I could be wrong

Seriously though, he’s not that athletic to start with and after being out with any kind of leg injury for more than 3-5 days it takes just a bit to get that lift back. It’s really a guess, not sure if it’s the case. He seems to be doing much better now

granger was floating on the wing last possession.. glad murphy didnt see him. but if your the kings thats what you don’t wanna do on defense
hey fellas, I see Tyreke is full offesne for the Kings
does anyone know if the other guys plan on scoring tonight?
I know is such a small detail
but that pass from Donte to Spencer is really tough. Way too pass that e
Godfather of the "nice ass" movement.... the future begins now...
I wish the Kings would post Donte
I think he has a tremendous advantage in the post over anybody who defends him.

he needs to be confident. He knows he can either hit the shot or get his own rebound so there’s no reason not to take it. Especially when Hibbert probably won’t play him too tight when he’s out that far
