Kings 109, Suns 95: Box Score Breakdown
Be sure to check out Aykis' ace recap, live from the press section.
SHOOTING
The Kings shot 39-70 (.557, A+) on two-pointers, 6-17 (.353, C) on three-pointers and 13-18 (.722, D) on free throws. Thanks to that magnificent percentage on twos, the Kings had an effective field goal percentage of .551 and a True Shooting percentage of .574. That's excellent shooting.
The Suns shot 34-58 (.586, A+) on two-pointers, 2-16 (.125, F-) on three-pointers and 21-30 (.700, D-) on free throws. The team's effective field goal percentage shook out to .500 (average), and the True Shooting percentage was .544 (roughly average, or a bit worse). That's not necessarily a boon for the Kings shooting defense, though it should be noted that most of the errant threes came from rotation Suns, not scrubs. (Opening night rotation players accounted for 13 of Phoenix's 16 three-point attempts.)
Rebounding, turnovers and foul-drawing after the jump.
REBOUNDING
The Kings did really well on the offensive glass, grabbing 13 of 40 opportunities (32.5%). Sacramento was also quite solid on the defensive boards, grabbing 34 of 43 opportunities (79.1%).
DeMarcus Cousins, of course, stood out, with 16 (5 offense, 11 defense) rebounds in 30 minutes. His estimated offensive rebounding percentage was a Brockman-like 20%. His estimated defensive rebounding percentage was a Dwight Howard-like 41%. Simply insane totals.
Jason Thompson had a lovely night on the glass, too, with 10 in all (five on each end). Shock's offensive rebounding percentage was 22%, and his defensive rebounding percentage was a solid 20.6%.
TURNOVERS
The Kings had a few too many turnovers. It was a 97-possession game, so you'd want the turnover count to be below 13. Sacramento had 15 turnovers (six of those Suns steals), for a turnover rate of 15.4%. Cousins had five of those, and Carl Landry added three. That'll be something to watch with DMC, given that he had turnover problems at Summer League as well.
The Suns had way too many turnovers, but obviously weren't taking this scrimmage too seriously. Twenty-three turnovers (11 Kings steals) in 97 possessions for Phoenix. Goran Dragic had six off just one assist.
FOUL-DRAWING
Only one Kings -- guess who? Tyreke Evans -- drew fouls with any consistency, with eight free throw attempts. Top Hat added four, and no other King went to the line for more than a pair.
The Suns had a host of players earn four free throws. Cousins and Thompson each committed five fouls, something else to keep an eye on going forward.
No technical fouls! I'm shocked.
***
Box Score Champion of the Day: DeMarcus Cousins
Boogie shot better than 60% and owned the glass. It's been six years since the Kings have had someone do that without it being a complete shock. Remember how refreshing JT was his rookie season, when he exploded onto the scene doing stuff like this? That was a touch flukey.
Does anyone remotely think DMC's performance was flukey? At all?

For the people there
Can they remember the situations where DMC turned it over? Were the Suns just poking the ball loose down low? Was he at the top of the key making bad entry passes? Poor pass back out to the perimeter? Offense foul? Traveling? Dribbling the ball off his shoe?
"Once again i still dont get it. We have the best backcourt in the league. 1 of the best front courts in the West. A nice bench. What team in the west cant we compete with besides the Lakers? What team in the west u guys can look at and say damn they’re much better than us? Seriously? Not being a homer at all." ~ J-Ridah's Golden State Warriors analysis.
One was a travel while making a post up move
We couldn’t see his feet as Lopez was in the way but he looked suprised. Another was one of those traveling calls driving to the basket where I guess he took a step before putting the ball down. Seconds later they made the identical call on Lopez so you wonder if it was a make-up call or they were schooling the young bigs.
The third I remember was a loose ball he tried to dribble the length of the court, two Suns crowded him and he couldn’t decide what to do with the ball and got it poked away.
I don’t recall the other two and I don’t remember any offensive fouls.

One of Cousins' turnovers
Was after he had rebounded the ball and tried to dribble the ball up the court. He quickly got it poked away. Westphaul immediately called a timeout and was yelling at Cousins so laudly that I could hear it from my seat in the upper deck.

Good breakdown
I’m also impressed with both JT and Casspi getting 4 assists. DMC did not fare well in that category, but I can see him getting 4 assists or more once in a while.
Also, Casspi’s 7 rebounds in almost 25 minutes could be mentioned. That’s a nice addition from your SF spot, especialy when compared to the Landry’s collectively…
Dunking Dutchman
You tell'em TZ
I said it before but – When we started winning the rebounding battle we started winning the game.
We started winning the rebounding battle when the Landrys went out and JT and Casspi came in, we were trailing in rebounds early and at the end of the 1st quarter.
Nice catch on the 3 pt attempts being by Phx rotation players.

Why give the Kings a C on threes?
Shooting .353 from three is the same as shooting .530 from two. That should deserve at least a B. I know it’s a nitpick
I thought a C was average and a B was above average
Stupid grade inflation

I'm curious TZ
How do you come up with the rebounding %s? Who tracks that?
So imitate the action of the tiger!.

Henry V iii
The formula for defensive rebound rate is as follows
100 x ( DRB (Team Minutes Played / 5)) / (Minutes Played x (Team DRB + Opponent ORB))
So for DeMarcus it would be 100 x ( 11 (239.5/5)) / (30 x (34 + 9)) which = 52690 / 1290 = 40.8 or about 41% like Ziller said.
These formulas can be found and explained on Basketball Reference
Author of the Pick and Scroll. Follow me on Twitter here.
It's just some quick math
Kings offensive rebounds + Suns defensive rebounds = Kings offensive rebound opportunities. Kings offensive rebounds divided by offensive rebound opportunities = Kings offensive rebound percentage.
On a player basis, you adjust for minutes. Kings had 40 offensive reb opps total. DMC played 30 minutes in a 48-minute game, or 62.5%. So assuming the off reb opps were spread evenly, DMC would have had roughly 25 off reb opps while on the court. He had five off rebs, so his individual off reb % would be 20%. It’s only “estimated” because we’re estimating the opps while he was in the game.
Actually I prefer the written explanation
I’m not really planning to do the math myself. Now I understand that it’s an estimate
So assuming the off reb opps were spread evenlyI get it. Thanks to both of you.

A Look at a Couple Other Boxscores from Yesterday
Jon Brockman: 6 points (3-4 shooting), 8 rebounds (2 Offensive), 1 TO, 2 Stls, 27 min.
Spencer Hawes: 6 points (3-5 shooting), 4 rebounds (1 Offensive), 1 Blk, 5 Fouls, 16 min.
Andres Nocioni: DNP-CD
Brockman better then hawes..You heard it here folks!
And noc, Euroleague is waitign for you

Founder of team Omté Caspeen
Hawes got into foul trouble early and often
20 secs. into the game against Brands man, and 2.5 minutes into the game he fouled Lopez and sat out the rest of the quarter. He fouled Lopez at 6.40 of the 2nd quarter and his 4th came 2 min 43 sec into the 2nd half, again against Lopez.
If he continues to foul at that rate, he may have the fewest mpg of any starter in the league.

DMC is no fluke
He may not be able to dominate on the boards against a big team, but I would predict double – doubles every time he plays 30 minutes.
I didn't major in Common F-cking Sense, but ...
Actually, probably even every 22-25 minutes. Not 16-16, but definitely 10-10.
I didn't major in Common F-cking Sense, but ...

He’ll average a double-double in 20 min + until/unless he hits the rookie wall.

In other news,
PhutureKings gave that $280 million to elfboy_ for outstanding contributions to humanity and being ‘a darn nice guy’.

You should donate 200 of that 280 million to making the

No probs about the arena, but the name
is too obvious and narcissistic.
I’m thinking the ‘Elfboy Is A Darn Nice Guy’ Coliseum. On the corner of ‘Elfboy Avenue’ and ‘Suck It CalExpo’ street.
Or we could just call it the ‘Sacramento Kings’ Arena, as long as we have it on ‘Suck it CalExpo’ Street.
This.
well technically
If he is able to get 10-10 in 22 minutes, that would be awful close to 16-16 in 30 minutes.

Yep pretty much. Which may be closer to his actual minutes once Sammy is back
I didn't major in Common F-cking Sense, but ...
IF Sam ever truly gets back.
I have a feeling this might have hurt Sam’s playing time permanently. How can you take Cousins off the floor with that kind of production?

Mostly because he may not be capable of going more than 30 a night.

But originally,
Sam was to get major minutes and bring Cousins slowly. Now, it seems like Cousins will get 30 minutes off the bat while Sam is coming slowly. But late in the season, when Sam is all the way back, it’s not like he’ll be able to cut into Cuz’ 30 minutes. It was like…now or never. And now he’ll be back to where he was in Philly – about 22-25 min/game max.

I think they got to go with the original plan
If they burn DMC at 30 minutes a night he won’t last the whole season. He will hit the rookie wall harder than Omri did.
I didn't major in Common F-cking Sense, but ...
This
& don’t disregard the fact that Sam’s a veteran and knows how to play in this league — DMC’s talent is sensational but Sam’s experience is undeniable.
Also foul situation.
We don’t want to lose DMC for large tracts of game time because he’s in foul trouble. It might damage both his long term development, and our chances to win the game.
So DMC is our 1st big (and possibly 1st player) off the bench.
This.
PW has made a point of his conditioning
and said he’s only leaving him in 6 mins at a time, so the coach is thinking along your lines, too.

Slightly off topic,
but the Suns are being absolutely schooled by the Raptors! How bad are the Suns this year.
And if so… is 2nd place in Pacific up for grabs? I do believe so.
This.
Reg. Season Steve Nash > Preseason Steve Nash
As long as Nash stays healthy, I have trouble seeing the Clips, Dubs or us overtaking Phoenix. But I’ve been wrong before (lots).

Hmm… he’ll have to log heavy minutes each and every night, just to put the Suns in a position to win games. Though I’m sure he’s in great shape, his recovery time between games is gonna be severely tested this season.
Still they could turn out to be the West Coast version of the Celtics. Only start winning when it counts.
This.
Agreed
But the guy’s a freak. 33 minutes a night last year as a 35 year old. Common sense says that he can’t keep it up. But common sense would have never had the guy winning MVP awards.

The Suns live & die by the long ball.
They led the league in 3pt % and attempts last season, so when they’re off they seldom win. And, tonight they were 3-18 from beyond the arc.
Also, they played 15 players with Frye and Warrick sitting out.
They won’t win 54 games this season, but I’d expect them to at least play .500 ball and probably a little better. The Kings will probably will have to win 45 games to end up 2nd in the Pacific. But, like Section said, “He could be wrong”,
"If you don't have anything good to say, LIE" - Mom

agreed about the playoffs,
that’s why I picked that number because I think the Suns will be fighting for the 8th spot and will probably lose out.
By the way that’s a good take about Amare being out 2 years ago when the Suns missed the playoffs. That’s why I think they miss this year. Hedo gives them ball handling and outside shooting which they really don’t need. And, Warrick is no Amare. They really need a bruiser at PF to give Lopez some help inside.

It depends on what you consider enough
there top four 3-pt shooters were Frye, Richards, Dudley and Nash. They averaged 7 made 3’s on 16.7 attempts for around 42%. Dragic & Hill shot 60% eFG% from 3 or better and now they have Hedo who’s career eFG% from 3 is 57%.
The 3pt shooting will be there, but Amares 13pt around the rim and 8 points from the FT line will be hard to replace.
"If you don't have anything good to say, LIE" - Mom

Like Orlando
those 3 point shooters depend on a dangerous/dynamic interior player to draw double teams – or at least keep defenses honest.
They don’t have anything close to that anymore.
They also seem to lack any real slashers (with Barbosa gone) as well that might substitute some of that.

Maybe that Suns - Raptors game will help

But sure, Reke will average .600 from 3PT range. I’ve said it.
