Good news: Tyreke Evans started, had a wonderful first half, and the Sacramento Kings started strong and rung up a 23-point lead over the New Orleans Hornets a few minutes into the third quarter. Huzzah!
Bad news: a 23-point lead was not enough.
In the final 20 minutes of the game, the Hornets outscored the Kings 49-23 and beat Sacramento by three. The Kings had 10 turnovers in those final 20 minutes of play, including four by DeMarcus Cousins. Those four by the rookie included three traveling calls in the fourth quarter.
Good news: DeMarcus Cousins was in the game in the fourth quarter, and had played well enough to demand the ball on offense.
Bad news: those turnovers arguably cost the Kings the game. The Hornets' comeback wasn't swift and fatal. It was a slow burn; New Orleans didn't take a lead until there were three minutes left, despite pulling to within three points all the way back with 9+ minutes remaining. The Kings held off the Hornets for a long, long time. Until those turnovers did them in.
Cousins ended up with 13 points on 6-9 shooting to go with five turnovers, seven rebounds and two assists. Evans was stymied by a smothering New Orleans defense throughout the second half, and finished with 22 points on 9-18 shooting. He also had seven assists and four turnovers.
Carl Landry was again solid off the bench, scoring 13 points and grabbing six rebounds in 21 minutes. The Kings next play in Oklahoma City on Friday.

I can't believe it!
They had this game and then loose all focus. I love the Kings and don’t want to hate on my team, but damn! This is starting to get to be too much. I think I just might skip watching a few games. It’s to hard getting frustrated as hell every other night.
maybe we could go to codes in the summary
since the losses seem redundant,
like 1-4 for which quarters sucked.
An E for Reke a C for Cousins..
So it would be like
3 4 E34 C5TO H=sucks
It’d make the pain go by quicker
There are some guys smarter than me, some guys better looking, I take comfort in the fact that there is no guy that is both.
No, really, its easy, watch
FU
It’ll be second nature after a while.
Sorry, just kidding, my brain made my fingers do it.

A game with moral victories
I took many positives away
I didn't major in Common F-cking Sense, but ...
Yeah
I often think this team needs one good win against a quality team to get on track and to start playing up to the level it can reach ( a level that should, in all honesty, at least be higher than last year).
Dunking Dutchman
I think a string of wins would help
The real issue has and still is chemistry, IMO. The starting unit now has it and we still need it with the second unit. It seemed to be heading that way with Pooh, but we aren’t there yet.
This really is a rotation thing. Our starters are gelling, but PW hasn’t figured out the right combination in the second unit. Who to have in during the 2nd and 3rd quarters. I think we have the 4th quarter line up heading in the right direction.
I didn't major in Common F-cking Sense, but ...
The team has some talent, but hasn't learned to win
You show a lot of potential when you go up 23 on a team with Chris Paul, but they just don’t know how to close the deal.
"It really was amazing to see the difference in this team when Pooh was out there moving the ball. Crisp passing, set plays, movement, and Oh yeah, SMILES & PASSION exhibited by the other players on the floor."
Absolutely.
Our youth and inexperience was on display last night.
The good news is that those things are curable. The bad news is that the only cure is time.

Ah, I see the problem.
All the evidence you need is right there in the picture. Tyreke Evans started The Wave a tad bit prematurely. And, who can resist the power of The Wave? No one. So, the whole team had to spend the rest of their time fighting the urge to continue The Wave. No wonder Cousins had so many turnovers: it’s a wonder that he managed to keep his arms at below-waist level for more than five seconds at time. Even Francisco, with his recent arm injury, all he wanted to do was stick those wrists in the sky.
Damnit Tyreke, save The Wave for the fans. They’ll do it for you, they’ll commit to it if you ask them to. But when you try to do too much, when you try to carry the team AND the fans? That’s when your hard-fought battles collapse. To be fair though, Westphal should accept part of the blame. He should have taken a full timeout and let the whole team get their Wave on, really let it out of their system. But no, he insisted on play-calling and substitutions with his timeouts. That’s a talent a coach only acquires with time I guess, but maybe Slamson should have some one-on-one time with Westphal.

I love that this comment is a response to the "The Wave" post
I wasn’t able to watch the game last night so I have no idea what this Wave thing is, but maybe I should watch it now… I’m very curious
The NBA: "Where 27 free throws happens"
2010-2011
is all about 13 erudition how to stay in good physical shape and keeper’s getting along…Westfal needs ALL his horses…right now playing future expectation spots is all he is liable for…they (Kings) need to play through GM past sins of 5-6 year’s stretch a little off-if not lost; Okay! everyone thinks GM is a hero…I am sure its Grants fault for having red hair….or Jer’s 500$ pants. Next season will be the start of something great. I can feel it!

It’s the easiest d*** shot in basketball. Kids start shooting the free throw at age of 4. These guys are 20 plus. 16 years to get a shot so easy they call it FREE.

The thing I liked
Apart from Cousins and them painful turnovers, dudes looking to kill that rim….and hes not afraid to have the ball in his hands in clutch time….to me, this is pointing all in right direction of him being that beast in the future that we all want him to be.
Westphaul doesn't seem to have our guys prepared.
The Kings have been pretty competitive during the first half of games and I don’t chalk that up to the Kings being a better team. Everyone knows that most teams in the NBA dog it in the first half of anything; the first half of the season, the first half of games etc. Half time is when these teams are making their adjustments and when they come out in the third quarter they are blowing us away. If other teams are making adjustments then what is Westphaul doing to combat that?
Last night New Orleans switched to a zone in the third quarter and turned up the on the ball and post pressure and we looked like a deer caught in the headlights and we lost all composure. Our players are young and are still getting used to these situations but Westpaul has got to prepare them for these situations.
I disagree with this statement completely
In my opinion teams come out slow because they are unprepared, unmotivated, or just tired. You don’t see teams like San Antonio coasting into a game. If a team comes out fire up it shows they have the right attitude. Closing out a game has less to do with preparation and coaching than it does experience. You teams don’t know how to keep another team down. They haven’t developed the killer instinct yet. As long as we fight for most of the game, and struggle a little at the end, I will be just fine. That’s something a young team can learn. Any team that can stay with top teams like we have shown quite a bit over the last few weeks has a lot of promise in my opinion.
Can PW do more? Of course. But a big part is just learning through experience.
"This season is another learning process for this team. There is no segment of the schedule that looms larger than the sum of the season, in my opinion."

Watching, it looked like they purposely blew the game
One play in particular caught my attention. It was at about the 2.30 mark, CP3 was driving the lane and the defender (I think it was Beno) runs out of the way to give Paul a clear shot for an easy layup. I was like wtf?
PW was like, “you could see it coming”, but I guess it was inevitable.
To be fair...
…Beno did the right thing by going over the top of the screen, unfortunately nobody rotated to cut CP3 off, and he got a completely uncontested layup. DMC was there but didn’t slide over to help, probably because he didn’t want to pick up a cheap foul.
I like Beno, always have, but
no matter how you try to substantiate it, there is no excuse for a defender who is standing between a driving ball handler and the basket to purposely get out of his way. I don’t care about screens or rotations or whatever. You see somebody driving to the basket, stand your friggin ground! Besides, Beno would not have got a foul for simply standing there. And so what if he did get the foul? Losing that game like that is a hell of a lot worse. Don’t the Kings have any pride left?
so defensive schemes and rotations don't matter?
I honestly don’t have the best recollection of the defensive stand but to say this stuff doesn’t matter is a bit odd.

Yeah sorry but that read to me like you don’t think defensive schemes and rotations don’t matter … you know, considering the fact you don’t care about screens or rotations after someone pointed out how Beno might have done what he was supposed to do. Maybe you didn’t notice but I put a “?” in there so you can answer the question.

He licked out with 2 missed Fts but that was seriously dumb.

JT wasn't thinking.
He was frustrated by the Kings losing.

It doesn't take Einstein to get Kingsfan's point
Let me clarify for you since you are struggling (with comprehension and typing). All KingsFan, is saying, if I may interpret on his behalf, is the first priority has to be to stop the ball. If a defender finds himself in a switch or in transition with player in front of him with live dribble and immediate threat to score, that has to be his first priority, regardless of defensive schemes or rotation. Thats all. Not complicated!
Too many people on this board want to take a phrase or sentence out of context and pick it to death. Its ridiculous.

I made one comment bench_blob with a question mark at the end
that wasn’t exactly picking it to death and I was not taking it out of context. I was welcoming a response from him because I was just a little confused why he would suggest what rpmonkey brought up does not excuse Beno on that play. That’s it. I don’t quite see how that is ridiculous.

by wallywagon11 on Dec 16, 2010 9:45 AM PST up reply actions
Thanks you Bench_blob
That’s exactly my point.
I remember that play
And Beno was the one who was screened. Paul went around one of his teammates and Beno either had to go under the screen and risk Paul pulling up for a 3 or go over the screen and hope for help to keep Paul out of the lane. He went over the screen but his help never came. It was a defensive breakdown, but it wasn’t Beno’s fault. Whoever was supposed to rotate to help didn’t. DMC was right out there, but didn’t cut Paul off. Someone else (Landry I think) was boxing his man out , and didn’t try to defend the rim.
We actually did a pretty good job of defending Paul, but fouled him too much
He got 12 of his 22 points from the free throw line. He made as many free throws as we attempted, and that was one of the big problems last night.
No Beno was not gaurding Paul
Either Tyreke or Jeter were gaurding Paul and whoever it was made a horrible attempt and fighting through the screen. They didnt try to go over or under they just stopped. DMC didn’t cut off Paul at all and he let him go right to the lane. Beno was gaurding the shooter who was in the corner and initially he had good defensive positioning but when Paul hit the lane Beno ran back to the corner thinking that Paul was going to pass. Basically a fail on everyone’s part…just a small example of the Kings overall failure as a team.
That's exactly what I saw
I think the video of that should be shown the Kings in practice today.
it was tyreke
and he didnt really try to get thru the screen, but DMC didnt react at all as a hedger and just watched Paul go by to the hoop.
Beno has heart
him and cousins (baby huey)played great.we need a shooter!!!!!

In this instance it does not matter who he's responsible for
You have to stop the ball. He’s standing in the lane with Paul dribbling right at him. He then realizes he has a shooter open in the corner so he runs to cover him leaving Paul with an easy layup? I sure hope that’s not what PW is telling his players to do and it’s definitely not team defense.
A big has to rotate
Cousins was too far out guarding the man who picked (Pooh I believe) and JT (I believe) failed to rotate.
Yes, fail on several guys’ parts. It seems if you make us switch a few times we almost always get lost.

Cousins wasnt too far out
He just stood there. He just did not step out, like the defensive man is supposed to. JT was at the rim, but you cant wait until the man is at the rim to stop him, DMC needed to step out at the free throw line.
considering all the times Cuz trys to take a charge, I might give him a pass this time
not much reaction time for a big to move in front of a guard when your that close.

The big question is why is our center on the wing trying to drive to the basket?
He should be catching a pass on the blocks and turning into the paint for a hook.
This team needed a point guard, and there were good ones available in free agency and we didn’t go after one. Now, when our guards get pressured they give up the ball to a center or pf 18 ft from the basket. Are TO’s all that surprising?

I get the sense that their surprise in Beno and belief in Tyreke at the point led them down the road where they weren't going to spend to acquire a veteran pointguard
I highly doubt though they could have gotten anyone outside of Ridnour, that is unless they wanted to pay big money to Blake (have a hard time seeing him come here over the Lakers unless we paid more)

I think Blake and Ridnour got similar money, Felton was the big money FA
But, in preseason, PW did make a comment something like ’ Tyreke’s true position isn’t known yet’. So, maybe they were still hoping. But, I’ve always felt that ball handling wasn’t a strong suit for the Kings guards, and by the way the offense struggles when teams pressure the ball, it looks like I was right.

Agreed on Lowry vs. Brooks
I think Lowry and Pooh would be a decent combo to man the PG position. Play Tyreke at the 2, and Beno gets some mop up minutes at both positions. Maybe Taylor gets some burn. Garcia mops up the 3. Head heads elsewhere.
"It really was amazing to see the difference in this team when Pooh was out there moving the ball. Crisp passing, set plays, movement, and Oh yeah, SMILES & PASSION exhibited by the other players on the floor."
I can agree with that
I wish Omri was getting the minutes at the three though, with Cisco backing him. I like Donte, but I dont see him being more than a bit player.
By Garcia mopping up the 3
I meant he takes the minutes that Donte and Casspi don’t play, which should usually be 10 or less per game.
"It really was amazing to see the difference in this team when Pooh was out there moving the ball. Crisp passing, set plays, movement, and Oh yeah, SMILES & PASSION exhibited by the other players on the floor."
I haven't been able to watch the games this season
I just follow the threads & boxscore. Some one mentioned on the postgame thread how NO switched to a 3 gaurd line-up & PW panicked putting in Luther Head (ugh!). PW seems to adjust to benefit the other team rather than exploit our own strengths a lot. Is PW just being outcoached every night? Not saying that’s the only reason why we lose but it seems like we don’t use our own mismatches to our advantage. What happened to “bigger, badder, better”?

Yes,
happened to Sammy as well, he had the ball waaay outside his range and no one cut to give him a passing option for too long – until he had already started to try to take it to the hole.
Too late.

New Kings Trade. Jermaine Taylor to Sacramento...
for second round pick according to Marc Stein of ESPN.
"Go ahead. Make my day."
New?
We knew about that 2 days ago.

My bad. I guess it was made "official" today.
I’m not a Kings fan, but a Warrior fan who happens to live in Sac’to.
It doesn’t sound bad. 32nd pick for a protected future 2nd rndr.
"Go ahead. Make my day."
Or did that start two days ago, too?
All hail Geoff Petrie! He’s made the King’s backcourt even more crowded when he needed a PG. Oh well. A new toy for Westphal to play with.

It's better than trying to figure out why the Kings lost bad last night.
When I heard the score last night (Kings leading big), I thought what’s wrong with New Orleans? I was trying to see if I should pick up Marcus Thornton for my NBA fantasy deep league. Then in the end, I heard the Kings lost and MT was instrumental in the comeback. All is well with the world again. I didn’t pickup MT, but he’s on my radar. As for the Kings, read the subject line.

When you first started commenting here I honestly tried to give you the benefit of the doubt and didn’t think you were necessarily trolling. Now? Yeah not so much.

Just telling you what happened last night.
Usually, I’ll listen to the Kings game unless I’m busy or at home and can watch NBA broadband or something else.
Anyway, I would point the finger at Petrie right now which many Kings fans refuse to do. I gotta think the Maloofs are looking at Petrie (let’s hope). I can’t point the finger at a player yet unless it’s Landry (one of the recent to blame) or Casspi, Beno, JT, Sammy, etc. from earlier. It’s Tyreke, too, but he’s been injured and he’s your best player.
Back to Petrie. With the JT trade, he’s trying to do something NOW. Not for the future. But he got a guy who just got back from the D-league. I think he’s a Houston mistake, but he may work out like Jackson. It just means he’s bench material. Now, how does that help the Kings? I dunno because I didn’t think the bench was the problem but you tell me. I’m not the Kings fan.
That’s about all I got. It’s better to figure things out instead of firing or getting rid of players by reflex action and the W-L, especially after a losing streak. One should see a trend. After twenty games, on should be able to see it. That said, Westphal hasn’t built an identity for his team and that’s VERY concerning in my book. Before he’s fired, Petrie should explain what he expects from Westphal and the team. I’m not sure he’s done that.
"Go ahead. Make my day."
Thanks for your expertise on our team
on a game you didn’t see.
Watch that first step.

I haven't gone to a Kings game this season. Yet. I plan to go.
I almost went to the Jazz game, but Landry got benched. Then Miami, but tixs were too much. I’m in el cheapo mode right now due to the holidays.
Most of the time, I listen on the radio.
Again, the bench is not the problem. T or F?
"Go ahead. Make my day."
Well no one expects you to figure that out
You’re a Warriors fan. But right now you’re adding nothing to the discussion.

You got troll.
The Kings suck donkey balls and will never get out of the miserable rat hole they’re in. You will stink to death forever. Well, maybe not forever. Just until they move to San Jose after Mayor KJ loses them trying to build a downtown arena for the umpteenth time. What a puppet that guy turned out to be. Jeez downtown is crowded enough at night already.

after all, callahan might be a troll but he is foremost a Warriors fan.
cowboyron is just straight up 100% pure troll. His BTC (blood troll content level) is a solid .98 at this point.

I vote Callahan
cowboyron is always a dip$shit, but Callahan makes me more mad with his “I care” bit, only to go off and talk trash about our city, mayor, etc… when he gets called a troll. THAT to me is the true definition of one.
I was uncool before it was cool
I dunno, Callahan had to actually make the decision to troll while trolling is in cowboyron's nature.

Both are solid choices...
To me I would vote callahan, since I doubt he will be up for the award ever again due to his comments in this very thread. cowboyron can win it many many more times before his career is over.
Also, I like cowboyron better because he is actually a Kings fan..he’s just kind of extremely negative towards the team.
The NBA: "Where 27 free throws happens"
Was just about to point out the same thing.
I don’t think cowboyron necessarily is trying to annoy or anger people. He just feels strongly about certain opinions that a majority of the people here disagree with. It’s not like he directly insults anyone here, though I do see he gets a lot of virtual “eye-rolling” and a dismissive tone from everyone.
Also, think about what we’re suggesting here: trolls would be getting recognition for their actions and we’d only be fueling the fire by reacting to them.
Very true about fueling the fire
but in truth I thought lodisacfan and I were joking around (at least I was). Granted might be stupid but oh well.

Lol, ya I was joking
But I am not joking about this:

The NBA: "Where 27 free throws happens"
And most of my cowboyron hate
Is directed at a lot of the newer posters here who repeatedly say the same thing: Every one of our players is worthless and/or PW is piece of shit who needs to be fired.
It’s irritating. I like the general positive vibe of most of the veteran commentors
The NBA: "Where 27 free throws happens"
I agree about cowboyron
I dont think he is neccessarily a troll, just a teenage kid. Probably not in the gifted program, but still just a kid.
Definitely NOT a kid...

Yeah, let's publicly humiliate one member per week
I guess I should stfu or I’ll be the next victim, eh?
Does Westphall
feed these guys queludes at halftime or what??
Typical the other team makes adjustments and we fall apart. 23 points with only about 18 minutes left and we lose.
We can blame cousins for the travel calls and poor free throw shooting but a lot of this disaster rests on PW’s inability to make adjustments to the zone defense and the small line-up.
When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.
wait a second ...
I thought someone said already something about how PW was responsible because he adjusted to the small lineup instead of the Kings playing their game.

In regards to the zone
Seems that the zone has has been a major problem this year. Is that an incorrect assessment? (calling all X’s and O’s people!)

Your actually dead on,
I sure why this baffles our team so much. I can see the zone being effective for a short time but its gotten to the point of beng ridiculous.

Zone is hurting us`
in large part because we will settle for outside shots and not break down the defense with a strong drive or crisp passing. Everyone just stands around instead of attacking the D.
I was uncool before it was cool
Jerrry said it twice
that they should be feeding the high post to be able to break the zone down. We rarely did it.
Isn't that where Cousins got all his TOs?

He wasn't feeding the ball to anyone.
no one moves once Tyreke, DMC or Landry get the ball, so there’s no one to feed it to. So he ends up taking a jumper of putting it on the floor, where he has a 50% chance of getting called for traveling.

so, chicken or the egg
Is no one moving because they know that those three are going to put it up? Or do they shoot because no one is moving. Landry, I think, is probably the least likely to pass, but I would be interested to know your thoughts.
this is so weird... I typed sactownroyalty.com and instead I got sacbee.com/sports
WTF? (and another WTF? from this sacbee article)
This doesn't even merrit an exasperated sigh anymore
When has any Kings team in history had the ability to consistently close out 4th quarter leads? This stopped being frustrating years ago.
