Jimmer needs to shoot those open 3 looks

I noticed he passed one up
trying to multi task playing two poker tables
by Kings Fan In AR on Jan 11, 2012 5:34 PM PST up reply actions
This.
He’s actually been REALLY good on defense this year, when he plays the man straight up and keeps his hands up.

Reke and cousins play well maybe trying to get Hickson out of his funk. Maybe just guessing

Foul called and both Reke and Cuz just put their hands up
but in the “it was on me” type of way. Progress!

Well, JT is a poor man's David West. But he's a better rebounder.

What gets me angry...
Is this team isn’t a great passing team obviously…but not only is our spacing bad, but if your going to HAVE good spacing, you don’t just space out and then its good…you need to move even when you dont have the damn ball… Im sick of watching all these games and I continue to keep seeing them space, but nobody is moving, and the person with the ball looks a bit puzzled.. There is no point in spacing if you aren’t going to move without the ball. Thats another reason why kings struggle with assists, if you could move without the ball, things open up, and maybe we wouldn’t be last place

Yeah but we couldn't get anyone on the open market 1/4 as good as Durant.
They really lucked into him. That’s the way it goes for small market teams you suck until you get a superstar in the draft. Welcome to the NBA.
Look at Dallas. A real team with a bunch of vets. No one superstar otherbthan a great leader in Dirk

The team seems so dead otherwise. He’s the perfect counterweight to Evans’ cool, softspoken style
that was a really bad play by Evans when he went in got swatted
but then again, he shouldnt have been in for the whole goddamn 3rd quarter!
Wow stupid fkn refs. Cousins did not derseve a technical, it wasnt taunting, it was self inspiring motivation.

IT is the closest thing this team has to a point guard.
10 assists to 11 turnovers. 4 of those assists from IT, who has played 15 minutes.
if only he were a few inches taller...
he’d get the nod over marcus thorton in the starting lineup.
The Kings may pull this out the thing that worries is me is
The Kings against the NYK – no Amar’e = loss
Denver no Nene = loss
Milwaukee no Bogut -= win
Orlando with essentially no DHoward = loss
Philly with Hawes = loss
Now Raptors with non factor Bargnini = scary
Well. I throw out everything under PW. That team quit.
If AB is bad, give the D some credit.
Also, how about Kings with no Thornton & Hayes – 2 starters.
Not making an excuse, but let’s not give other teams one either.

Smart has some interesting rotations though not gonna lie.
i dont think Tyreke has come out the whole second half. and JT with only 7 minutes
Thinking that the match ups are dictating his substitutions
the Raptors don’t seem to have a true center so that takes minutes away from JT. Plus DeMarcus is playing grown man basketball

A lot of people don't know this
but Shawn Bradley was actually three guys stacked on top of each other.
One thing Evans can learn from IT
Every time Evans goes to the hole, he looks to pass or shoot. Other PGs will dribble out or back up if no great option when they are moving forward.
Evans needs to learn this. Nice way to get extra assists when the D get out of position.
yes and no
he was fouled hard but he should have passed

Kings are classier than to play for stats.
Always have been. New Orleans Saints, on the other hand…. and don’t get me started on the Lakers.
Although, we did focus on Reke and his 20-5-5 a bit much, but he got that within the flow of a normal game.

very short stint of confidence by salmons

isiah thomas playing well
no outlaw
hickson rebounding big
Evans 9/9 fromt FT
So glad he got the stroke back at the line after listening to fans boo him in the CHI and NY game

We're back to .500 with Smart
Nice recovery game. 76ers are great team. We just got beat, but these are the games that improving teams win.
If Evans committed to be all league 1st team defensive player...
And average 15 pts… This team couldmake plyoffs…… And he could then make all star team….. Just don’t think he is smart enough to realize it

They still no offense
Only reason they won tonight is cause the Raptors are starved worse for talent than the Kings.
The Kings are short on points now. No one can make up those 10 points.
I don't think u understand how good u need to be to make 1st team all def team
he has more potential to do that than be an elite offensive player
I actually agree with you here. While Evans is a beast of a slasher, and has a semi-miraculous finishing talent, he’s not a shooter, and unless he somehow gains a consistent jumper, he’ll never be an elite offensive player.
On the other hand, literally every time he actually attempts to lock down his opponent, he does. Just think back, even in this young season, to the 4th quarters of winnable games, and the defensive impact Reke has had. He even locked down Rose to the point that the Bull’s star player couldn’t even touch the ball.
I seriously believe that Reke could be the Howard of the 1-2, but he would have to focus in order to do that. Of course, if he could focus that hard, he’d have a jumper, and know how to run a real play, and then I’d be saying something more along the lines of the Lebron of the 1-2.

Cousins back in. Good. Game is not over.
Asked if the Kings had any intention of trading Cousins, basketball president Geoff Petrie said, "No."
Why is Jimmer playing so terribly?
I’ve watched him play for the last three years and never seen him miss so many shots. Most of them don’t even seem to be heavily contested. I don’t understand how he could make shots over triple teams in college, even against NBA-caliber players, and can’t make an open shot in the NBA.
Evans recovered some efficiency...
Back in the “plus” in points:shots ratio. Still not great with 24 points to 22 shots.

I get the same way when people who don't know shit tell me what I should and shouldn't do in a film that I made.
IE: “You should have made that explode.”
“It would have been cooler if there was more blood.”

I didn’t know my comment was so ground shaking that it could challenge the very foundation of STR. I just don’t think it’s cool to have a dance thread after every win, excuse the fuck outta me.
Now I will certainly agree that Van Damme dancing in every dance thread is too much.
We save him for the big wins.

Decent game from the few minutes I was able to watch.
Venomy, I couldn’t respond earlier since I was helping a coworker, and I don’ t want to push the page back up, but I wasn’t trying to read anything into the team reacting to help Cousins up. I just thought the instant reaction from everyone looked funny (funny as in humorous, not suspicious). If anything I’ll be one of the first to say that Cousins has been exceptionally professional when faced with any remotely confrontational situation, so the last thing I wanted to do was to paint him in any negative light.
For sure.
I just liked the sense of camaraderie they seemed to have there.

Kenji I have it on good authority
that 91.4% of King’s fans fuck so that is not a distinguishing characteristic.
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.

Good win. IT had an amazing game and Tyreke/Cousins.
Despite the misses, I loved to see Jimmer shooting the hell out of it. It’s a way more comfortable feeling than seeing Salmon’s do the same. And Jimmer’s D was not as atrocious tonight.
Now, let’s beat a good team…
I'm also okay with Jimmer taking a lot of shots.
His shot will come back and those will start going down. He only took 10 anyways. This isn’t 20+ Webber jumpshots from the top of the key.
Can't wait to hear Smart's words.
Think he might be just a little bit excited?

I know many want Isaiah Thomas to be the answer after this game
but you should probably take this game with a grain of salt. The teams probably have not game planned for him much yet or taken him into account as much with his low minutes going into the game. Also, I don’t know if his legs will stay as fresh and he will continue to play at this high of a level when given consistent minutes.
It would be a good story, but I’m not sure if it can go on like this forever.
Where is everyone? Dancing already?
