UNLESS that underground cavern was a David Thorpe run training facility. The problem of course, is that players really need to play in NBA game situations for them to develop well. So a league of cyborgs needs to be built along with a regulation-sized stadium and tons of fake fans to simulate real NBA games to develop the players. Though at this point the team is spending billions of dollars to develop those players, so you know… maybe it would be smarter to just wait. -- Iashwash

Good effort by Tyreke
He never stopped playing.
Tough night for Kmart. Missed eight of his last nine shots. 0 for 4 in the fourth. That hurt.

Good effort
Gotta find a way of getting through the cold shooting stretches. Good too see more consistency from Spencer.
The future begins now...
Kings Lose

Best part of the night -
It was when Tyreke made the 3 at the end of the game, Pop was leaving towards the tunnel, turned around looking at Reke and just started shaking his head. That is respect.
"Even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace; When he shuts his lips, he is considered perceptive." Proverbs 17:28
I don't think walking off the court with time left really shows the other team any respect.
And I think Pop is a hell of a coach.

Really?
Star? Consistent? Absence is making some hearts truly grow fonder. I love the guy, but he’s a utility infielder. Valuable, not anything like indispensable.
Perspective, y’all.

Garcia not a legit starter.
Love Garcia but he’s a sixth man type. He’ll make us deaper if his game is still intact and can hopefully out perform any other of our bench players. Beno was a sixth man monster for a while but he’s fallen off unfortunately. Noc was a beast for the first month of the season but he’s fallen off and sergio is hit and miss. Also Donte isn’t sparkplug material. Brockman has even lost his sparkplug effect. Bobby Jackson in the day; Nice. Garcia can hopefully fulfill that role as he has done fairly consistantly since we’ve had him.

Nice way to finish the game, even if Coach Westphal had no comments about the guys coming on strong at the end.
To be the best, you have to do your best. Otherwise, you are only second-rate.
Yeah, but a furious comeback is just wasted effort when you let the game get away from you.
It’s like saying you did a nice job cleaning up the floor, when you’re the one who took a dump on it.
SA is very good team, making it close counts for something, but Westphal can’t overlook the periods of poor play.

Enough!
If Boston wanted to trade Ray Allen for Kevin, wouldn’t that mean that they think they have a better chance of winning a championship with Kevin than Ray? If we were to make that trade that would mean we, a bottom dweller, were disagreeing with a championship contender about personel. It’s not like we are talking about two different needs. They are both scoring 2guards. Except that Ray is clutch which meets the needs of a contender, BOSTON, and Kevin is younger, more productive and has more upside, which meets the needs of a growing team, SACRAMENTO. Petrie hasn’t been YODA when making trades, but as far as I know, he is not suffering from a head injury. Ray is averaging 15.9 ppg and will be 35 years old in July.

the exciting thing about Tyreke was that he was hitting some outside shots
and his release and footwork on the shot is much better. If, sorry make that when he develpis a consistent outside game… OMG
Tyreke took advantage of the practice opportunity playing with a tough team.
He looked like he was out there having a great time, enjoying the challenge, playing basketball.
To be the best, you have to do your best. Otherwise, you are only second-rate.
If he can make that outside shot
He’s going to be a double handful instead of just a handful. That’s the missing link.
The Sergio and Tyreke pairing looked pretty good tonight, at least on the offensive side of the floor.

I didn't care for the look of the Sergio/Evans duo
Sergio is useless wthout the ball and Tyreke is too used to intiating the offense, bad match
by betweentheeyes on Feb 3, 2010 10:07 PM PST up reply actions
Tyreke hasn't learned to move and get himself free.
he simply relies on his own ability to beat his man off the dribble and bull rush the paint. Sergio as a playmaking PG has to have players working to get open, so they can receive the entry pass from Sergio, and continue to the rim or put up a high percentage jumper.
That’s why Sergio is a good backup for Tyreke but not a good backcourt mate.

Reke is the greatest player in the history of the world.
Overstated, but even at 80% health Reke is too much too handle. His awesomness(if that’s a word) makes Kmart seem very one dimensional.
And I can’t believe I’m saying this, but Spence is a better overall player than JT at this point. Spence is a better. – passer, shooter, scorer, defender. JT the better rebounder.
We know that about Spence
he just needs to show it more often
Another flaw in the human character is that everybody wants to build and nobody wants to do maintenance. Vonnegut
I think the benching of Spence payed off
"Even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace; When he shuts his lips, he is considered perceptive." Proverbs 17:28
Other new things that looked good...
Sergio playing along side Kmart and Reke.
Donte starting at the four.
Donté played well, he needs to grab some defensive rebounds
but then again even Hawes only had 6.
Donté was +10 in 37 minutes, Tyreke +5 in 38.
Another flaw in the human character is that everybody wants to build and nobody wants to do maintenance. Vonnegut
Hilton Armstrong was +7
DeJuan Blair was +3.
Armstrong > Blair.

I barely remember Hilton playing
I get the point though. Plus/minus isn’t much good, at least for one game. Over the course of a season, I think it useful to spot certain trends. The cause and effect of those trends is where the argument lies.
Another flaw in the human character is that everybody wants to build and nobody wants to do maintenance. Vonnegut
Donte brings that element of athleticism that we sorely needed
I really like the dynamic that his game brings. I was wrong with giving up on him and am not ashamed to admit it.

it’s a bi-product of him missing over two months and coming back to an offense that is completely different than the one that was being run at the beginning of the season.

Missed the first half.
Seems like everyone played well but we just got beat by a team with more talent. Tyreke is a beast.
Interior defense killed us again. Spence played as well as he is capable from what I saw. Experience trumps youth.
As much as I like Brockman, I wish we could have picked up Blair in the draft.

Interior defense had nothing to do with it.
our guards and bigs were getting beat on top with the pick & roll. Nothing new,

Yes, and Spencer and Donte got 30 points
so maybe SA needs to improve their interior defense. I didn’t see Duncan scoring 20 pts going 1 on 1 against Spencer. Even Blair didn’t create on his own against Brockman.
It’s not who got the points but how they got the points. When your bigs get scored on off of penetration, you look to improve your backcourt defense first. I will give you that the KIngs needed more defensive rebounding from the front line.
But, with JT out and the Kings using Donte at PF, and the reserves going with Brockman and Noc, I think the rebounding is understandable.

HT,
I really missed most of the game and just saw sporatic minutes of the second half. Baby sitting duty. I just made an assumption as this has been the story all year with respect to interior defense. When the other team is scoring tons of points in the paint its usually a lack of interior defense, hence my question about the jumpers.
I don’t understand why so many on this site get hostile.

I'm sorry but
Curry is no comparison to Tyreke. I absolutely hate hearing that. It’s like saying Gilbert Arenas & Dwayne Wade are the same because they have posted similar stats. Or Michael Redd to Wade. It is ridiculous. Heck or even Kevin Martin to Wade or Kobe. You get my point.
I love beating dead horses.
Did you get the memo?
They gave the January rookie of the month award to Curry. And most anything that happens once is more likely to happen again. Don’t get all bothered by it, I didn’t say Curry was in the same league (no pun intended) as Evans. I said that Reke padded his stats. Nothing controversial about that, IMO.

Lack of size at PF really hurt
The Kings will never, and I mean never win a game if they try and compete in a jump shooting contest. They need to attack the basket.
Third play of the game and Duncan got away with an illegal screen, what else is new.
Jon Brockman, Ime and Sergio played 3 high pick and rolls as bad as they can be played at the end of the 1st quarter. PW was so pissed he pulled Brockman for May. Then he pulled May for Hilton. And, it continued later in the game when PW called a timeout, after Brockman and Sergio did it again. Really, this isn’t a rookie type mistake, this is basketball 101. There is no excuse for this type of play.
Your not going to get many offensive rebounds when you PF is outside the 3pt line. And, a frontcourt of Brockman at center and Noc at PF, can’t out rebound 6’7" rookie with no cartlidge in his knees. If we don’t get a starting PF at the trade deadline, the KIngs will be hard pressed to win 10 more games.

And we’ll be fine. Tyrus Thomas would be a great pickup though.

Even with that JT back, we'll still woefully undersize and underskilled off the bench.
at this point I’d take anybody who could give us 20mpg of rebounding and decent defense. As long as Spencer and JT still get starters minutes.

I have no delusions about this year
but whether we get a starting PF at the trade deadline or during the FA signing period next summer, we’re going to have to get one.
I think one of the fallacies about rookies needing PT to develop, is that when a team isn’t playing a coordinated offense or defense, they can’t learn proper technic. Every play is a scramble of disorganized effort. It leads to a lot of hustle and effort plays, but very few plays that rely on footwork and working with your teammates in an efficient effort.
Thats where the Kings young guys are missing the stablizing presence of a veteran big, who can defend his own man so the young bigs can concentrate on learning how to defend their man. A vet who can score but can help the young guys learn to score by making the other team have to defend the vet and not sag off.
I’m glad the young guys are getting extended minutes. I just wish it would be along side some talented vets, instead of other youngs guys who are also learning to play the game.

I looked into my crystal ball Chuck Barkley gave me
and if you wanna know what happens (more or less); Martin is outta here, so is Noce and K. Thomas. Kings are going to get an upgrade at point, move Reke to 2, and pick up another mediocre big—but they will also get a promising athletic big in draft.
Next year, without Martin, they’ll be a playoff bubble team but will probably still miss it thanks to another cursed Kings injury.
Two years from now, they’ll be back in playoffs.

Win Number 17...
… is looking pretty tough to get. It needs to happen before the All Star break so we can get over that mental block.
Just finished watching the replay and really......................not a bad game
The last 2:30 were incredible. I think this is the first game that I saw some visible emotion from ’Reke. Good play all around from ’Reke, Spencer,Omri and é. Just an impression, I think Sergio is thick as a brick. Interestingly good game without JT. Even though it was a loss this would have been a great game to start the All-Star break with.

I've defended Martin as consistently as anyone
and I’m not blowing this out of proportion, hell I have a bad day at work about once a week, but I did not see professional focus on winning from Kevin last night. He had a really bad night, despite shooting well for a stretch.
Between not giving the effort on defense he can, the horrendous blown layup, and a couple of entitlement, “you have to give me the call” drives he didn’t get the call on, I was disappointed with Kevin’s play tonight.
Kevin needs to lead this team, and while I don’t expect him to make every shot, I do expect the moment he hits the floor to be worried about winning, and the effort I saw tonight was about individual play, and it was not about winning.
Like I said to start; I’m not indicting him for the past 3 weeks, I’m not blowing this out of proportion. Its one friggin night; but I thought it was a really bad night for Mr. Martin, it deserves mentioning because its unusual, and I hope to not see it very often in the future.
Free Omri...trade.Noc.

Not the only reason for certain
but his shooting is pertinent in the Evans/Martin backcourt discussion. Evans is a player who needs the ball. His backcourt mate needs to be someone who can shoot and doesn’t need the ball. If Martin isn’t the Martin of old, and can score at a high rate, then his weaknesses come into play. And, the team isn’t as good.

So low post defense isn't an issue?
Above you said that you would be happy to play anybody who can give 20 mpg of solid defense and rebounding. Sounds like K-9 would even be OK and then you dismiss lttg’s point about defense? You jump on the blame K-Mart express. How about Blair scoring 3 times his average and looking like he should be on track to be an all-star or something?
We lost this game because of our low post defense, lack of really. Spencer did good, so don’t get all bent, against Duncan, but other it sucked.
