Tyreke Evans Hasn't Told the Kings He Is Staying Home

A great sign of the wonderful communication going on in this organization

that Spencer Hawes will not play with the team for the summer league?

“Ain’t heard nuthin on @thetyrekeevans shuttin it down fo dis trip.”

-@philosopherkingGP

Casspi did an adequate job defending Wade when the defensive rotation went that way, so I don’t see any reason he can’t stay in front of K-mart or Harden.

We have already tried the starting 5 for defensive purposes and we saw what that produced. Cisco isn’t all that much of an upgrade in that regard over Casspi either. And Casspi is playing at a much higher level on offense than Cisco at the moment, and makes less mistakes over all.

Last year, he only had 5 games with less than 10 points a game, and only 19 games where he shot less than 40%.

This year, he’s already matched that, and he already has 13 games where he’s shot less than 40%. But at the beginning of the year, for the first 6-10 games, he was at or around his level of play last year. Then he hit a huge wall and has been pretty terrible ever since. That’s the plantar fasciitis becoming a detriment to him on the court.

Tyreke can decide he needs to heal up, but I doubt he gets to say that he isn’t going on the road with the team. This might be a moment in which the team, GP and PW, establishes some boundaries…

lets hope he starts for the whole road trip and we won’t have 3 different lineups.

Only watches out for Tyreke. They don’t care about the politics or well-being of the team. That has been evident from the very beginning.

…the current vote tally is astounding and inexplicable.

And beyond that, just remember! JT can NEVER play the 3, but Omri is aces at the 2.

had he not hit all those 3’s the other night.

Based on the opponents on this road trip, I go primarily with Jeter/Udrih as a starting backcourt.

Or Casspi starting in place of Evans.

I like a Beno at the 1, Garcia at the 2 with Jeter coming in to replace Beno and Head to replace Garcia

..that the tweet from Doc Evans may no longer be there. I keep looking for it, but it’s not showing up at the moment. In fact, now all you can see is the retweet’s that were sent after Doc’s original tweet.

I’m thinking that it’s possible Reke plays and that Doc just simply jumped the gun.

…has become a shining emblem of this season so far: One stinking hot mess of discombulation, discontent and incontinence.

Hey we are not going to win anyway so he needs to rest his foot and maybe we can start to win again.i hate to be so harsh but it the truth.

Why is this a big deal again?

Not necessarily because I think Cisco would rock the starting SG spot, but because I think Casspi and Pooh look really comfortable with their bench roles, and I don’t want to mess that up. We still need offense from the bench.

I love listening to this show for the pure low comedic value.

Petrie re: Evans. Reke will stay on rehab plan on trip and its up to Reke to decide if he won’t play.

Petrie called severity of Reke’s plantar fasciitis “minor” at this point.

Petrie also said at this point Reke is closer to not having plantar fasciitis than having it. I’ll go into detail from Texas.

That makes it sound like Reke is just playing like crap, and the injury isn’t that serious. We’ll see what happens. All I know is what I see with my eyes, and that is that Tyreke has not been Tyriffic for a month or so now.
