Good Game Tonight
I think if the Kings continue to play like the 2nd half of Bucks game and this game, they will pick up their fair share on this road trip.
Children, before you go to sleep check under your bed for the BOOGIE MAN!!

4th foul for Howard
Asked if the Kings had any intention of trading Cousins, basketball president Geoff Petrie said, "No."
Technical on Howard

I hope Whiteside becomes a decent player who can play 15 min by next season
there’s no interior D on this team
Thornton=B-Jax
Seeing him hit those threes just now reminds me of Bobby lighting up Arco back in the day

I slightly agree with that
it was a game in which I didn’t know who to root for based off equal hatred for both teams
I know I already said it
but don’t get all the Tebow freaking out so for me it’s mildly comical to see people furious that the guy wins a game.
and given I don't think he's anything more than a one trick poney and won't have the greatest career
totally cool seeing him being the starter in Denver

He roasts Thornton earlier and yet makes Jimmer a saint for nothing.

Salmons is a proven veteran
Fredette, a rookie known for his shooting, can’t break 37%. I’m not a fan of Salmons, but he’s had a decent career, and minutes shouldn’t be awarded to players simply for the hype that surrounds them.
Well he did shoot his own 29 foot shot
He has that range but not really a play he should’ve made

Jimmer played 2 minutes in the 2nd half
in case you didnt notice, dont think Smart is a big fan

Jimmer played all the crunch time minutes in win over Bucks
I didn’t see a lot of the game, but it seemed Smart was playing some disjointed lineups at the end of the game. Having Donte and Thomas on the floor in crunch time? Head scratcher/
"His D was a difference at the end."
According to him, matchups
Thomas on Jameer, and Donte on Anderson I guess

Thomas on Jameer is OK on defense
But not as productive on offense.
We were switching very effectively at the end of the first half and that makes everybody, including Jimmer, look a lot better on D and it also gets us running on the offensive end.
"His D was a difference at the end."
Anderson was 5-16
so just about anyone on him is OK.
I think we have to play the people WE want to play in crunch time and make other teams adjust to us, not the other way around. I thought we did a good job of that in the Bucks game. Not so much at the end tonight.
"His D was a difference at the end."
What makes you say that?
I’m not trying to come across as rude, but Fredette has done nothing to prove he’s a crunch time player since coming to Sacramento. Hopefully that will change as the season progresses, but as of right now he doesn’t deserve any more time on the court than Thomas.
Ball movement was fine for most of the game
Tyreke actually moved the ball pretty well

How about explaining who you’d prefer on the court in his place? And 9th straight game without production? Did you watch the Bucks game the other night?
well, if he only watched the first three quarters of the Bucks game ...
joking aside thought Salmons, JT, and Tyreke played pretty darn good. JJ had a little really good and a little real bad while DMC was just fantastic and horrid.
Im sure the people talking to Howard are telling him to come to Sacramento lol
I like that, and I like Kings basketball.

Dude. You clearly don't like Evans, but your statements make no sense.
Evans just shot 10-16, 8-10 from the line. And had 28-4-8 with 2 steals and a block. 2/1 assist to turnover. He also had the hockey assist on Thornton’s big three when he drove and the Magic doubled.
If you are going to crucify Evans because he was caught in the corner after a two man game with Cousins and no one moving off the ball, then I seriously question how much you know about basketball.
Fair criticism of a player is one thing, but taking thinly veiled shots at Evans after that performance sounds petty and tone deaf.

Salmons has been pretty bad, though every once in a while he’ll give you something. Garcia is what he is, I don’t think he’s that bad, I like him, he’s a good role player. And Greene is a decent defender, but sometimes lacks knowledge of situations, which is why he makes mistakes or takes early 3’s, but he is doing a better job at just taking open shots

I'm not depressed about any of them.
Neither Garcia nor Donte have played too much. But, what little play they have had hasn’t been too inspiring. They haven’t come into a game hit some threes and gotten the team going.
As far a Salmons, he’s frustrating, because he can play really well and be a real factor, but other than a few good plays here and there, he has been more of a let-down. I think it is risky to bring a player back onto a team when you have traded him away.
Asked if the Kings had any intention of trading Cousins, basketball president Geoff Petrie said, "No."
Well Garcia played that way in the first game he played
But hasn’t shown much since, Greene hasn’t at all. The fact that I said depressing was in response to SoCal asking if anyone disliked all of them which I don’t.
Agree with you in regards to Salmons though

I missed the first game, so I missed that.
Certainly know he is capable of that, as that has been his trademark. That has also been Greene’s, but he just hasn’t had that much play, so I guess that can be a factor for him.
Asked if the Kings had any intention of trading Cousins, basketball president Geoff Petrie said, "No."
Garcia's first game was the 4th game of the season I believe

Oops forgot about him, which should tell you something
When we signed him, I hoped he would be able to come in and help with some scoring and shooting; he hasn’t done either, I’m still hoping he could get his shot back. What’s surprised me is that his D hasn’t been as bad as I thought, and his rebounding is decent. So basically Salmons>Garica=Outlaw=Greene>Honeycutt, as of right now.

reke
I’m really tired of watching tyreke dribble down the court and jack shots all the time without passing especially when they are garbage shots.its really getting old.What some don’t realize is that these games are based on Thornton and tyreke being hot. If they are on kings win if they are off kings lose. They really need to learn to pass to wide open players instead of them always wanting to be the ones to shine in the end.Its selfish ball plain and simple

but great teams learn to trust in their role players
when their stars are off. Yes I saw glimpses of great assists but I still saw a player that would rather shoot than distribute the ball right away. To me that is not a true pg
True PG's don't always equal winning teams
Great teams trust their role players, but when they stand around and miss open shots, passing doesn’t make anything better

you have a good point and I didn't realize that rekes assist stats were so high tonight.
I guess the bad shots he chose really stood out to me.But that is encouraging if he really got 8 assists.
He could've had more too but missing open shots, or teammates getting fouled don't count
He is passing more and trying to move the ball, but there are times we need him to score, and sometimes he tries too hard to get into the paint to get a shot. His misses were magnified because it was crunch time, but he really didn’t have too many better options at that time

because young Nash didn’t have the dazzling assist numbers, & young Jordan had no legit mid-range game (it was something that arrived in the 90s).

This would be a good night for the Tyreke bashers to take a break. He was the main reason that the Kings stayed in the game tonight.

I think good effort from this team.
I missed the game, but I read the play-by-play in the 4th Q.
Got killed by the dagger 3pters in the end, we draw close/tie/ahead and Bam! If we had an answer of our own, we would have won, sure of it.
Salmons, as much as I’m not a fan, seems to be playing his role better. Maybe not on individual sets, or on offense, but he’s getting steals and stuff, and his +/- is positive, so must be doing something right.
This.
Salmons played half-way decent in this game
We lost because our defensive rotations were bad and too much 1-on-1 in the end after ORL tightened up the D

because we were turning the ball over when ORL tightened up and we couldn’t get open, or because the players were tired and stopped moving?
This.
A little of both
When we tried some stuff, it was usually a two man game with Reke and Cousins with everyone else standing on the opposite end

I think Reke is really hitting his stride in the past games
Except the Denver/Memphis games, he is starting to dominate and gain confidence in what he can do. 8 assists in this one, 10 rebounds in the last game, he is looking like his old self again. I think its just a combination of clutch plays from Orlando and bad breaks from us that did us in this game. But I’m happy with this result. If you look at our stats we have a pretty solid team when everyone’s clicking. Just imagine if we made some of those three’s.
Evans is very talented. I think he would be even better for the team if they played him at small forward.

Nah.
He’s best at his position now, honestly. IF we had a pure PG, I’d agree, but for now, Salmon’s is better suited for the position, on this team.
While Tyreke could play SF, his size advantage would lost, and in fact, often he’d be smaller than his opponent by an inch or two and twenty pounds. He would be quicker in most cases, but not all. On top of that, a SF is expected to have a minor amount of low post talent, and Reke has non that I’ve noted.
