Jimmer had a nice 3rd
1-1, 2 fts, 2 assts, just wasnt aggressive enough, too much Salmons, wayyyy too much
I thought Salmons' role was to hit open threes, and play defense.
He’s looking too much to create his own shot, and we have guys who do that better.

Honestly
I just think Thomas just fits in more. Jimmer is different from them. He’s a short white guy that grew up in a different culture. It seems like they like Isaiah more since he’s more similar. It’s hard to flourish in the environment like that. Might be a good idea to trade him to the Suns, quite honestly.

Isaiah’s played exceptionally well, Jimmer hasn’t. That’s the deal.

Nah.
It’s just hard for them to relate. It’s really different when everyone around you isn’t in the same type of culture of LDS mostly white people. As a BYU student, I can attest to that. It’s nothing about race. It’s just about it’s difficult to relate.
When you get on a basketball court, no one is going to freeze you out for something like that

And I wasn't condemning any culture.
I was just saying that Jimmer is a bit different.
Is John Salmons different? Is that why he's struggling?
Rocks are free, and slingshots easily stolen. And for a limited time, every third person who follows me on Twitter (andy_sims) gets a free ice cream cone.
Which I will eat.
No.
I feel like Jimmer can establish himself and learn to fit in like I think Salmons has. It really is tough, though. Pretty much the whole campus of BYU is a lot of the same type of people. The teammates are white LDS athletes. I’m not saying they’re any better than other athletes, it’s just kinda different. It’s hard to say unless you’ve lived in Provo and have tried to adapt to living in a different area again.
I think Fredette is going to be a fine pro.
But the constant excuses are grating. He’s a rookie, he’s allowed to suck. His shot hasn’t disappeared forever, and when it comes back, he’ll make a fine 2 guard. I just don’t see him running an offense given the speed and talent he’ll be dealing with every night.
There’s a reason why every team doesn’t have a Chris Paul. That’s not a shot at Fredette, and if you must take it that way, it’s a shot at 80% of the guards in the NBA.

I don't see it being a chemistry issue from the players' standpoint.
Fredette has been playing with and against all kinds of people since middle school, presumably, so if there is a chemistry issue (which I doubt), it’s on his end. By all accounts, he’s a good guy and his teammates like him.
The issue is, as with many rookies, he’s been driving beautifully at 70 mph, and NBA players go 200 mph. I believe he can adjust, but again, the excuses don’t serve him well.

"I DECLARE BANKRUPTCY!" - Michael Scott
I've been reading this thread for two hours, so let me sum up:
You! In the Kings jersey! STOP SHOOTING.
That should improve our offense.
Rocks are free, and slingshots easily stolen. And for a limited time, every third person who follows me on Twitter (andy_sims) gets a free ice cream cone.
Which I will eat.
Looked at the box score: Jimmer with only 2 shots?!
What is he doing out there??? This team didn’t bring him in to play defense or pass every time. They brought him to shoot the rock! 2 shots is unacceptable from him. He needs to shoot the ball and do what he’s best at or his minutes should rightly be limited.
He's regressed IMO
At first, I thought he was just being unselfish. Now, I think he’s just struggling with the talent level he’s playing against.
"I DECLARE BANKRUPTCY!" - Michael Scott
Needs to play PG or this will continue.
I thought it before and my opinion is just reaffirmed that Jimmer will not succeed in the NBA without the ball in his hands. He’s never played without it before. It’d be like relearning the entire game for him.
Could be a viscious circle
Until he shows he should have the ball in his hands, he isn’t getting the ball in his hands?
"I DECLARE BANKRUPTCY!" - Michael Scott
I don't think he will succeed, then.
Simply put, he doesn’t know how to play without the ball.
And I don't think it's the talent level.
He’s honestly not being guarded as close as he was in college. He’s missing open shots. When that’s the case, it’s more an issue of confidence and trying to make it in the NBA rather than trying to be good in the NBA.
I know it's right.
I’ve seen Jimmer shoot dozens of shots with defenders all over him and they still have gone in the last few years. He’s not playing his game anymore. If he did, he would be a lot more successful.
This is the NBA though
He can’t dictate to play the game his way. It’s big boy time, and he needs to step up.

I hope to God Jimmer follows the Stockton/Nash path
sucks his first couple of years, then becomes a superstar. Shut up.
What I am saying is give the kid a break. It takes point guards a while to develop.
See: Nash, Stockton, Billups, Lowry, Rondo, etc, etc etc.
It does take point guards time to develop.

2 shots in the game is not how he will get better.
He needs to take shots and get his stroke back. There’s no way he gets better if he doesn’t. It’s not like nobody misses shots on the team. He’d fit right in even if he kept missing. At least he’d probably find it eventually.
He played 4 years at BYU. A shooter doesn't forget how to shoot and certainly doesn't forget how to play

He looked very tired. That explains his play tonight.

It’s an ad — the name of the sporting goods company “Peak” 
but the name on the sign is the Chinese company name in Chinese, literally “China Peak” (zhongguo pi-ke 中国匹克). Interesting, kinda cool, kinda random…

BiPolarity is a given in most King's fan. WE.MUST.KEEP.HOPE.ALIVE
Without hope what do we have? 10 players that can’t play, bankrupt owners, an unnamed crumbling arena. All we have left is a diminishing bottle of hope that I choose to view as half full. Or not. Can anyone blme us for our BiPolarity?

I think I may be Bipolar in everything except the Kings which is wierd
When we win (unless its against the [Redacted]) I try not to get too excited. When we lose, even in the most disappointing fashion, I try to stay as reasonable and realistic as possible, without blowing over in frustration

Watch the game. Go eat dinner.Tonight I ate dinner
Six positive things if you;re ready to consider them:
1) Reke is getting his groove back and when he gets in shapes and can bring it for 40 minutes he is good enough to create wins.He was actually moving without the ball and looking for a pass in the paint and didn’t get them, I hope he has enough faith in Keith Smart to keep doing the right things even if they don’t pay immediate benefits.
2) We had no rights to expect anything from Isiah Thomas taken with the 60th pick and in a small sample size he is looking like a keeper off the bench, especially compared to the mini’s on the team recently like Sergio and Pooh who had their moments but where never looking like they were going to contribute much.
3) Cuz had a bad game, a miserable game by any standard but he has been playing better since Westphal’s departure. I’m going to look at this game as an outlier, chock it up to either a lingering chest cold or the Houston flu, whatever. He is usually going to contribute much more.
4) Chuck Hayes will be back fairly soon and we can definitely use his boards, his d and his leadership on the floor.
5) John Salmons will either revert to his mean and start playing the game Petrie thought he was getting which will help the team. If he keeps playing this badly he is going to be stuck on the bench and be this decades version of Kenny Thomas. Either way we won’t have to watch him spew crap all over the floor for much longer.
6) JJ Hickson is looking to be useful in the paint where he can be fed for a dunk in a way that JT has never excelled at. He brings speed, intensity and athleticism we haven’t had from the frontcourt.
Extra bonus optimism point: I initially started with only two points and it wasn’t that hard to come up with four more.
Frances Amthor: I think you're a very stupid person. You look stupid, you're in a stupid business, and you're on a stupid case.
Philip Marlowe: I get it. I'm stupid Farewell My Lovely (1975)

These were great points, deserving of a post on its own merits.

position and money
The only reason i can see why Salmon is still in the starting line up is Pay, and for Jimmer, draft postion, grow a pair coach
PUHD!
ksh
Halfway agree.
They are two very different situations:
1 – Salmons is an aging veteran who is playing selfishly and like he has either lost it, doesn’t want to be here or both. I can understand Smart not wanting to immediately bench him, but he has to start reducing his minutes.
2 – Jimmer is a rookie who is learning the ropes and giving you 100% at all times. He’s having growing pains, but you need to keep feeding him minutes to let him develop. The extra couple of losses you might absorb early in the season will pay dividends later on. I’m also fine with Thomas coming off of the bench, because he provides a nice spark that our bench was missing earlier in the season before his emergence.
I agree with both of your points, SJ
1. We all know that Salmons is capable of more than he is currently showing. There is a complete lack of anything remotely resembling intensity in his game, which suggests to me that he is just not that into being here. Right now, I think it is more mental for him. He is making good money, so perhaps he just doesn’t care all that much. Hopefully, something will light a fire under him and get him to start playing for us, again.
2. Agree 100% about Jimmer. By keeping Jimmer on the floor and in the starting line-up Smart is giving him the message that he has confidence in him. Also agree with your thoughts about IT. He is giving a spark to the team, so whether he gets his minutes early in the game or later in the game, makes no difference. At least, we can feel he is on the bench and has something to give to the team.

Like what coach said, the ball distribution is not the problem
Its the receiver of the pass, he can’t decide whether to shoot or dribble or pass again, they are not there yet. thats why we see too much dribbling, they are still finding their best position on where to shoot.

I did notice better off ball movement tonight. Especially early on.
When the Rockets started pulling away and hitting some tough shots, we seemed to panic and start playing too much 1 on 1. That kind of impatience is expected though from a young team on the road. Baby steps though. This was a livable loss tonight.
you're right
but we were saying the same thing back when Reggie and Kenny Natt were coaching the Kings.
Frances Amthor: I think you're a very stupid person. You look stupid, you're in a stupid business, and you're on a stupid case.
Philip Marlowe: I get it. I'm stupid Farewell My Lovely (1975)

nate21h@evilcowtowninc.com
Lol. I don't think anyone was praising ball movement when Reggie and Natt were coaching
We mostly watched Hawes have his conniption fits when he was isolated in the high post and JT do, well whatever, you called those moves JT did.
Plus, sometimes if they make a pass to the open man, the receiver is not in a position to just catch it and shoot
it makes sense to make an extra pass but if you have the shot why hesitate to take it, i guess their confidence to shoot it is just low. tyreke , for one , has a lot of confidence lately with his shot, midrange and 3 pts. shot, he’s not afraid if it goes in or out. that’s what the others need, the confidence to shoot.
"I did not demand a Trade, the Trade Machine did" - Awesome
One good example is Lowry , when he shoot it Jimmer range
If he doesnt have the confidence to shoot it, it will not go in. thats what some of our shooters dont have right now especially Jimmer. Even Cisco, he has one wide open 3 pt. shot and he miss. Confidence right now is low.
"I did not demand a Trade, the Trade Machine did" - Awesome
I hate to point this but this one is a true fact.
Kobe Bryant has a pinky injury, a broken shooting hand if im not mistaken, but if he wants to shoot, he will make those shots because he’s confident that he will make it. Michael Jordan shot the free throw back then with his eyes close, and he made those shot.
"I did not demand a Trade, the Trade Machine did" - Awesome
Keith is a Smart Coach, he'll figure it out that confidence is missing.
"I did not demand a Trade, the Trade Machine did" - Awesome
shooters
Guys that do nothing but shoot need to come off the bench. All outside shooters that don’t do much more are streaky. Jimmer, Marcus and Salmon should come of the bench. MT should be the first on off the bench. Love MT but rather see a line up like this:
Thomas
Reke
Garcia
Hickson
DMC
with the option to play
Thomas
MT
Reke
Hickson
DMC
We need a passing guard in the starting line up. And I don’t want Reke to loose his size advantage starting a SF. Playing this line up is fine, just not a good starting line up for size issues.
PUHD!
ksh
We don't need a passing guard, we have a lot of passers on the team.
We just need to convert those passes into an ASSIST. You know, when someone pass you the ball and you shoot it and make them?
"I did not demand a Trade, the Trade Machine did" - Awesome
good point guards
good point guards have a certain timeing to there passing, right as players come off curls plant that first foot, pick and rolls, hit the guy instride, if it’s a big man while he’s close to the basket so he doesn’t have to dribble too much, things like that. things that make point guards the best passers on the team. we need a passing point guard, period.
PUHD!
ksh
