Kings Vs. Blazers Preview: THE MENACING DESTINY

First: magnificence
Then: to Portland, and maybe
more magnificence.
Sacramento Kings (1-0) at Portland Trail Blazers (1-0)
Rose Garden, Portland
7 p.m. Pacific on Comcast SportsNet California
The Kings were full of themselves on Monday night, menacing the L.A. Lakers and world with an aggressive attack and newfound defensive identity. But the NBA schedule lets no man revel in minute glories; just 24 hours later, the Kings find themselves facing the first road test of the young season, against a good team to boot.
Portland is also 1-0, having beaten the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday. LaMarcus Aldridge led the Blazers with 25 points, but needed 25 FGAs to get those. You'll remember that LMA was one of the upper-tier opponents that Sam Dalembert did a good job on last season. That task will fall to Chuck Hayes, DeMarcus Cousins and J.J. Hickson, in all likelihood. Aldridge is long and operates facing the basket, so this should be an interesting match-up for Hayes, who faced a not dissimilar Pau Gasol on Monday.
Where the defense matters most, though, is on the wings, where Sacramento has to keep a littany of weapons at bay. In the starting five, Portland as Gerald Wallace and Wes Matthews, a bully and shooter. Off the bench the Blazers have Jamal Crawford and Nicolas Batum, two gunners with playmaking skills and length. It's that length that could really weigh on the Kings' smaller lineups, especially those featuring both Marcus Thornton and Jimmer Fredette. Crawford played a good deal of point guard on Monday as Ray Felton's replacement, while Marcus Camby takes the pressure off out of the high post.
Portland should be a solid defensive team; the Kings' best bet is to attack Camby (who is losing agility fast) and Felton. If the Kings get into a good flow as they did for long spells against the Lakers, they can keep Felton moving around and off-balance. Attacking Crawford with quickness when the vet's in the game should be helpful, too. Kurt Thomas is a strong defender up front off the bench, but the Kings have springy legs in the frontcourt reserve unit, and should look to exploit the contrast when possible.
The game could very well come down to three-point shooting. The Blazers hit a very good 9-19 on Monday, while the Kings went over their heads at 9-18. If one team can sustain it while the other reverts to normalcy, that could be the difference. Or it could be one of a million other things, like second-chance opportunities, turnovers or a bead of sweat trickling down John Salmons' cheek that distracts Gerald Wallace for just a second, allowing Salmons to blow by for a game-winning lay-up. (And the TV-viewing audience goes anti-wild!).
Game threads at 7 and 8:30. Let's go Kings!

We have never fired an undefeated coach
who has beaten the Lakers. Never. Ever. Look it up.
35 and 31. I'm calling it now. Reke and Cousins 1-2 in most improved award both All-stars. Jimmer leads rookies in scoring, passing and Ole's. Make 2nd round of playoffs and Salmons is not here by seasons end.

I think the Kings will need to play better tonight then Monday to beat Portland on the road.
Shooting better than 60% at the free throw line for starters. Now that’s not to say the Kings played bad on Monday (they played quite well), but right now the Blazers are better then LA in my opinion. So we will have our work cut out for us, I think it will be a close game though.
Ba-da
FT's
They have to improve that. 60% at the line will lost them a number of games this year.
It was very nice to see Reke get 12 FTAs last night.
Made 7 and missed 3 in the 4th quarter, but he will make those as the season goes along.

Question
How much has Aldridge been able to practice? Didn’t he just recently come out from surgery and had to miss training camp? Might help explain the 25 points on 25 shots
by HeuristicLineup on Dec 27, 2011 3:14 PM PST reply actions
Not much at all
and he missed all 5 shots in the 4th quarter. Looked like he ran out of steam. Conditioning may be a little weak still.
He played 40 minutes last night if I’m not mistaken.
by Czar Nickoli on Dec 27, 2011 4:37 PM PST via Android app up reply actions
You're correct
but he was almost completely ineffective after the 3rd quarter. Last season 40+ was normal for LMA and his production actually increased in the 4th quarter. Looks like that line is about 30 minutes until he gets his conditioning back. He had to sit for two weeks after the heart procedure he had.
Nothing like this season to get and maintain conditioning.
Staying healthy, on the other hand, may prove to be difficult for all teams.

His outside jumper is a little rusty
LaMarcus was 4-13 on his long range jumpers, 3-7 on his short to mid-range jumpers and 4 of 5 at the rim. In fact the entire team shot poorly except from mid-range where they were 5 or 7 for 72% and from 3 point range where they were 9-19 for an eFG% of 71%. As a team Portland had an eFG% of 45.9%.
Wallace was a bear inside where he was 7 or 9 with 9 boards. It will be interesting to see if PW sticks with Salmons on Wallace. As far as Aldridge goes, if his outside shot isn’t falling we’re going to see a great battle between him and Hayes. But, if he can hit his outside shot over Hayes, we could be in for a long night.
What was surprising was the pace at which the game was played. Last season the Trailblazers had one of the slowest paces of the entire NBA. Against Philly there were a total of 102 possessions

I'm so excited to watch the Kings this year
This is the best our roster has looked 1-12 in years. I’m even scheduling all my estimates around Kings games now, because I don’t want to miss any of the games. As far as beating the blazers tonight…. 
GO KINGS!!!

This will be an excellent test of our team
I’m actually kind of glad we’re getting all these really good teams to start out. We’ll know what our team is made of sooner rather than later. So far I like what I’ve seen, even if it was just one game.

Kings blaze their trail up north (the most stereotypical headline possible!)
Hark! Through what light breaks forth?
The Kings take on a team of core youngsters with disappointments supplanted with solid vets. Far more than the Ghost of Christmas Past, this Portland team is more than just Petrie’s old haunting grounds and Kings dreams mirrored and shattered (heyo Mr. Wallace! Heyo Seattle! Heyo Oden’s knees that ended a possible dynasty even though it was too early to tell! ).
A ragtag group of guys try to figure out who they are and what they’re made of by heading out into the road and the wilderness of Portland. Lewis (Reke) and Clarke (Cousins) lead this expedition, but they’re just the guys that got managements approval. It’ll take a whole lot of leading to push these Wagons up the trail, and all we got is one Ox (hello Mr. Chuck Hayes). Speaking of Chuck, while he’s busy guarding LMA, it’s up to Camby to go off in typical “Oh shit I’m playing the Kings” fashion. Can Camby bring it? Can Gerald Wallace go a back-to-back without causing physical damage to someone? He is the small pox we must all fear, flowing in the river of long wings that is Portland.
Will Thorton’s fever break or can he sink deeper into mindless, shooting, shaking, pneumonia! Is Cousins the big oak we’ll use to cross that river, or just another redwood in the way? Will Cisco brave the cold or will The West claim another victim? Will Isaiah find himself home? Can JT survive or is his horse beat? Will Travis Outlaw claim cosmic vengeance or will he forget which team he’s on?
Either way get excited, these Kings are undefeated and have more piss and vinegar than they have supplies!
Let’s Blaze the Trailers, and nothing else! (I’m talking to you Mr. Salmons!)

Hopefully Jimmer is much more comfortable tonight
and shoots the damn ball rather than taking it to the hoop.
He's usually very good at taking it to the hoop, too
Just having an off night most likely.

He actually did really well taking it to the hoop yesterday
He was just short on some open shots. He just needs to figure out the rhythm of the NBA game.

Tonight will be tough
3 point shooting could kill us. The lakers shot terrible from 3 last night. If a few of those 3’s go in it could have been a sad day today.
Portland always seems to have our number. Even when 1/2 their team is hurt. I’m worried but optimistic.

Are the Kings often black holes on offense?
It didn’t seem like they ran a whole lot of plays last night or passed a lot. As a newcomer, it might be kinda frustrating to watch on nights when it doesn’t work and individuals aren’t able to score by themselves. Did they play fundamental team basketball last year? I’m really wondering, not a trolling attempt or anything like that.
Last year they ran a black-hole offense
We’re hoping for better this time around.
by lead_pipe on Dec 27, 2011 4:31 PM PST via mobile up reply actions
Is it more the players' fault or the coaches for this?
Do they just not have good passers, do the players tend to be selfish on this team, or is it just bad coaching do you think?
Too many jump shots for my liking, but when they're going down why change?

On nights like last night, you don't change since the shots are falling.
However, you generally want to run more of a balanced attack since the alternative isn’t always going to work.

This might be looked down on a bit, but
I go to BYU and a team of Jimmer’s is a team of mine! I still like the Nuggets more, but I also like the Kings now. I’d like to see them do well this year!
Kings are 1-0 and just beat the Lakers
Taking about last year is violation of site protocol.

Let's talk about this year, then!
Can you answer the questions I asked in that post above and maybe give me some encouragement that they’ll be able to do better at team basketball this year? It almost seems like each player doesn’t really want to give up the ball. Maybe I’m wrong, though.
If you thought the ball movement was bad yesterday
You would have HATED the last three years of this team.
Author of NBA Mashups. Follow me on Twitter here.
Oh, so it's getting better?
I’m sure Jimmer is very happy to have good shooters on the team who hit pretty consistently. BYU could go cold at times and he wouldn’t get a whole lot of assists since others wouldn’t hit on them. I’m just worried about everybody getting the ball, but maybe I don’t need to worry so much? Who will be the passer when Jimmer is out, Tyreke or Salmons or Thornton?
It's a combination of all.
PW on an interview not recently (?) said that he would use most of our guards to bring the ball up on offense. Let’s just pray to God one of them is not Salmons. Other than that, we should be fluid.

You have to respect the job Nate McMIllan has down in making this collection of talent (which is a bit haphazardly collected) into a formidable opponent for any team. Winning in the Rose Garden takes a 48 minute effort. Let’s see if this new Kings team can muster the ability to stay focused for that long. The line has the Kings at -8.5.

I would like to see more than 16 assists tonight
Jimmer needs to take advantage of open jumpshots.
Salmons needs to come off screens for his offense.
DMC and Hayes need to take advantage on O when Wallace is playing PF
If those things happen, we have a good chance of winning…

I like how the game tracker on the front page says we’re 1-0 and we have 81 games left.
By that math it’s predicting great things. We have 65 regular season games left. 81-65 = 16

67 points Nets?
My brother’s high school team scored that many points a week ago and they play 24 less minutes in a game.
Amen, that's pathetic
I once saw an under 124 Rec team score 73 points

I don't know why, but I don't reconize people who comment at MCC and then comment on other SBN blogs
I didn’t even realize Alex Lewis was here last night.
You're like me and don't comment at MCC during the offseason?
In fact I mostly stay from all the blogs I comment on during the offseason.
We're almost exactly like MCC here,
only without the intelligence.
SACTOWN ROYALTY - Try our thick creamy shakes!
Yeah, and likely won't be posting much during the regular season ever
I never posted here until the last game of last season either.
That is cray-z.
Game blacked out on Direct TV?
When I look at the guide on CSNCA it says its showing a High School football game. On CSNCA+ it says “Upcoming: Bulls @ Kings” What the heck?
