PrintI'm setting this 2nd half Game Thread from the past. So I'm gonna cover my bases here:
Are we winning? If so, don't get excited.
Are we losing? If so, don't get suicidal.
Are we tied? Eat some bacon.

Playing like the young guys they are

And then our offense goes to crap after halftime.

crazy sequence their
beno forcing. good effort by cousins though. i’d also like to see reke be a lil more aggressive and try to get the ball when it was about to go back court
3 turnovers for Cuz in the 3rd quarter so far.

No movement though
The players off the ball need to move too. They’re just standing and watching
"Children want what they want when they want it." ... Andy Sims
I'm with the people calling for the elimination of the halftime break.

Its the worst announcing I've ever heard for an NBA game

NOLA up 23 on Utah in the 3rd
Rox up 24
Clippers up 21 on Detroit

What's up with the blowouts today?
Let’s hope the Kings aren’t part of it

He probably told them to pass the ball weakly so the other team has a chance to steal it

We need to make the extra pass instead of going for the shot after the first pass.
Cousins should not be attacking so high up on the key.
The fouls are the key
He’s had great per 36 stats, but he hasn’t been able to play big stretches.
Author of the Pick and Scroll. Follow me on Twitter here.
100% in agreement with you there
He’s learning how to stay on the court and he is learning fairly quickly. Just took him a little bit to start figuring it out. Like I said, I’m very excited about him and his future.
You stole my words.

Foul trouble guarding Durant has something to do with that

Yup.
I missed all of the first half, but I can already tell I like them more than 60% of the announcers in this league.
"I think I'll pat myself on the back. You don't mind, do you?" --Jerry Reynolds
True, It's not like they
compared Dr J, Chris Webber, OTIS F-in THORPE, and Jeff Green. Ive ever heard Otis Thorpe in any comparison other than atheletes with the last name Thorpe.
How good their hands were
Which would be fine (they are entitled to their opinion), but what brought on the comparison was him catching a sweet pass and dunking it.
yeah
I was wondering because the play by play commentator said that Richmond had huge hands… I still call bull shit. Haven’t seen anything from Green to show he has hands like Dr. J and Webber.
Agreed
Yeah i heard the Richmond Hand thing too. Maybe they were like “if we just keep talking about ex Kings players their fans listening won’t really care if what we say has any merit.”
Fine by me!
In that situation
Ther was really nothing better he could have gotten

Yeah you're probably right.

He still fades way too much at time
When he doesn’t, his shot looks a lot better. On the fades there almost all short.

Carl Landry again with only 1 defensive board in 15 minutes.

To be fair
For their size their a pretty good rebounding team near par with the Kings. (Kings only slightly better in defensive boards but not showing it right now).

It alway's seems like there is a different problem every time the Kings play.
Why!!!?
Brennan Huff: I have a belly full of white dog crap in me, and now you lay this shit on me?
we've not made up our minds what kind of basketball team this should be.
Are we a running team? Are we a mid-court offense team? Is this Team Tyreke?
This.
Boxing out and rebounding.
Boxing out and rebounding have less to do with the play style the coach chooses and almost everything to do with player effort.
All night long
Thunder attack the basket, wait for the collapse, feed it to open man at rim.

I sit down I watch for 5 minutes and DMC gets 3 fouls
ouch! I will continue to watch but cover my eyes
I think Cousins is tired
and that’s why he’s picking up these fouls. This has to be his season high in minutes.

If the Kings could put Carl Landry down low as much as Nick Collison
he’d score 30 points a game. But instead we have him on the perimeter half the time.
Author of the Pick and Scroll. Follow me on Twitter here.
This is possibly the most confounding thing about the Kings.
We’re taking players away from the positions where they can deal the most damage.
This.
Our guys need to stop letting the game in their heads
Between Cousins displays of disbelief and JT spiking the ball every time things dont go his way it makes it pretty apparent that they lose these games due to mental weakness…
This is why we have so many DUIs

Seriously, Garcia, Beno & Casspi (and Donte) are not good 3pt shooters.
This.
Yea they've been bad
Although I’m looking at Casspi’s month of December, and he’s shooting 52 percent from there.

However, I do think he will improve upon that.

"Children want what they want when they want it." ... Andy Sims
I agree, I would have liked to see an and 1 there
but no way do I like DMC leading the fast break like that.
His body language and other silly things he does encourages the refs to blow the whistle against him.
He’ll learn
Good game Cuz
The coach should let him foul out more often. I like that better than watching him sit on the bench with 5 fouls.

27-14 in the 4th is pretty shitty.

True.
We just haven’t figured out how to play to our strengths in crunch time. Once we figure that out, we’ll be a real test for anyone (not just the bad teams).
This.
I'll be waiting.

Almost.

how would you feel about trading landry
to Portland for Andre Miller and Rudy Fernandez and possibly the Greg Oden trade exception?
Well, if we used Landry properly, he'd be better than what he's showing.
But in times when we need defensive board help, yes, Darnell should be in there. It’s not like he’s a total bust offensively either.
This.
I hear Larry King is available.

Good game from DMC even though he fouled out
19/16/3/1/1 in 33 minutes. Saw that charge coming a mile away, he needs to be slapped for not getting the ball to his guards, but a very solid game!
