I don't mean the time he takes
just his overall movement. it’s like watching someone shoot at half speed or something.
I saw him once take a first quarter FT

I was a little offended during the OKC game when the 3 bald stooges back at TNT headquarters made a comment about the Kings just played well because they were on national TV and that effort should be brought every night. Well I am starting to think they may have been right. Kings play so much better against the big shot teams.

Amazing quarter
We are running with them. If this was any other good (not great) team, we would be in the lead now. Or if Miami had missed a couple of those threes.
Just checked in
Are we in this game? We’re in this game. We’re definitely in this game and, damnit, I want to watch them steal this one.
IT is the best PG the Kings have had since Bibby
this guy looks like the real deal. He’s a game changer.
If he's doing this against Miami, he'll do this against the rest of the NBA as well.

It was a well played game from the Kings
Perhaps a little more competitive throughout than many of you here would have thought against the defending East Coast Champs.
I sure didn't expect them to be in it
In fact, turning the game on mid way through the first my exactly thought was, they are probably already down 10

This was a blowout. In the 4th quarter, sure, but still a blowout. It's deceiving because we only played about 6 players.
there was absolutely no way we’d be able to sustain and endure in that last quarter. I don’t know what Smart was thinking. There’s a reason NBA teams put 14 players on the roster

Kings have no bench.
The fact that Isaiah is the one true PG on this team is huge. Jimmer not even seeing the floor this game is a testament to that.

It seems like they get up for these bigger matchups and then fall flat against far lesser comp.
It happens far to frequently.
They definitely get pumped up for big games
But they have to be frustrated about falling short. Hopefully they take those frustrations out on the Wizards.

I'm not trying to be an ass
But everyone is so happy with the kings this game. I guarantee we could keep up with ANY team through 3 quarters when we only play 6 of our hottest players. But does no one on here realize there was no way in hell we were going to endure that 4th quarter. 6 players with no minutes. I’m not a fan of our bench either, but holy shit, that approach will work maybe 1 out of 30 times. I don’t know what Smart thought was going to happen…especially at the tail end of a long road-trip.

Kings played more then 6 players.
Donte Cisco Hayes came off the bench.

I would agree it would not be a smart move on Smart's part to make a habit out of that.
But usually he is the exact opposite, goes way to deep into the bench. And in the playoffs most teams go down to about 9 players. Problem is our bench is terrible. JJ and Outlaw have been awful. Salmons is injured. Whiteside and Honeycutt are not NBA ready.

Dude we just hung tough with the
Miami Heat. I don’t think a team full of Greek Gods could beat them tonight. That Cole Kid is pretty legit.

its questions like these that make STR oh so lovely.
Who wears a Kings jersey and rhymes with "Nothing but net??"
Agree. Smart knew that and just rolled the dice.
"Should he just be renamed Player of the Week?" HeuristicLineup on Cousins.
Agree. Totally agree.
As long as we’re calling it what it is: a roll of the dice. I just wanted to make sure people realized some of the reality behind what just happened. If we had gone deep into the bench we’d probably still lose by a similar margin, but have been down most of the game. I guess this way at least we had “hope” going into the 4th quarter. But I wasn’t surprised at all to see what happened in the 4th.
You realize that the heat only played 9 right?
It’s not like they were reaching deep into the bench the whole game
Kings better BLOWOUT Washington tomorrow.

Playing the back end of a doubled header, having only played 6 guys tonight, and being more emotional tonight due to it being a big game.

I am going to buy an Isaiah thomas jersey authentic..
I hope kings dont trade him in the near year or two though. Anytime I buy a kings jersey it seems they end up trading the guy haha

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.

but Miami has some good bigs

oh Hickson was a DNP
Totally forgot he existed.
Maybe a trade?
Hickson/Jimmer/Salmons for Marvin Williams? Maybe?
Well I would hope ATL would add a bit from their end
Maybe Hinrich
Jimmer for Lebron James seems more likely

I'd want a pick back
He’s likely to bolt for Cleveland

Too early to be talking about trading Jimmer.
"Guys, I'll tell u what... With a few draft picks and some worthwhile trades,
we could make the playoffs in 3 or 4 years."
"Brought to you by the European Wax Center

What does that even mean? lol

Can't wait to hear what Smart has to say.
Overall, I bet it will be positive.

If IT can keep the production
We will have better offense. 4 players averaging double figures not counting JT. And our assists/ball movement are way better. If we use these losses as feeling out games then I would be fine given that they will have much better games in the future.
happens if the big games come after selection date
if someone can’t play he’ll have a shot

Not sure
this was a really rough time for a rookie. Lock-out, then head coach getting canned.

If Salmons never played, we'd have infinity plus one wins

how do you figure
we lost to detroit and cleveland
Because the team looks better when he's on the floor
If he’d been starting all year i think they’d be a better team right now. Not that i;m saying they should have know that at the time, I don’t think anyone knew how good he would be.
Good news....only 12 more road games
which also means more rest and practice between games

Can we get Ramon Sessions?
I know the Fakers are interested in him. But then again we now have IT so would that mean we don’t need a PG anymore?
It's definitely a need
Thomas can’t play all 48 minutes and Reke can’t back him up because they’re on the court at the same time already. Another pg is a serious need unless your content with Jimmer backing him up.
by Ricardo Audain on Feb 21, 2012 7:14 PM PST up reply actions
I think the point (hehe) is that we don't need another PG
We might need to replace a PG, but we don’t need an additional one.

I like his game too
Not sure what kind of role model he would be for the Kings youngsters (the whole team) but he can score and play some D.

Should we make a play to get him?
I know he’s another headcase but hey it will be exciting to see him together with Cousins
I'd rather find a way to snag Pekovic vs. Beasley
Pek and DMC inside would be lethal.

I think we need defense from the three
He’s kind of a chucker. Think he’d slow down our offense. I’d rather get a veteran role player there. We need a poor man’s Shane Battier.

Smart pretty positive with the game.

I think you answered your own question
by HeuristicLineup on Feb 21, 2012 7:20 PM PST up reply actions
He could have been told to just come in, give some energy, rebound, defend and never shoot.
Why can’t he just follow simple instructions like those? We could have used that scenario tonight.
May have had to do with some of his comments about rather being in Cleveland.
"Should he just be renamed Player of the Week?" HeuristicLineup on Cousins.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing actually.
Glad you mentioned it. That might not have gone over well at all with Petrie and staff.
Yep. They are paying all this money for him to play and he is saying this stuff to the media.

I think that the Olympic bid is going to be a stretch
But if it has any legs, it will need to include a modern multi-purpose arena like the one being proposed in Sac. I can’t see the Reno area being able to build anything like it.

We are 10-22, people, TEN AND TWENTY TWO!
Really, we might have a “couple” of more wins if IT started all year? What are we playing for? There are no moral victories in sports. What? We want to be able to say, " well, we aren’t the worst team in basketball!" Shoot me; I want to see Jimmer play. And for all those that say he sucks at defense, look at the scoreboard whenever he doesn’t play – the team sucks at defense. We give up 100 points anyway. Let’s at least see what he can do offensively with the ball in his hands for 30 mins.
What are we playing for?
To win. Each win means something to the team. It is important because each game has four chapters. It is important for a team to learn how to play the game from beginning to end to learn how to open and to close games.
I see your point that there are no moral victories and we are probably out of the playoffs, but there is something going on with each game. They all have to learn how to play together.
If Smart just decides to use games as practice, putting guys into the game with no set plan, then he and the team won’t get as much out of the time as they would if they go into win the game.
