Kings 115, Wizards 107: Salvation Away From Sacramento!

Photo

The Sacramento Kings finally won again away from home, beating the Washington Wizards 115-107 on Wednesday to finish the pre-All-Star road trip 1-5 and snap an overall six-game losing streak. The Kings move to 11-22 overall, 9-17 under Keith Smart and 4-17 on the road.

Marcus Thornton and Isaiah Thomas had huge second halves for the Kings after Tyreke Evans had kept Sacramento alive in the first two quarters. Evans scored nine in the first quarter, 11 in the second and just two points in the second half as the smaller guards took over. DeMarcus Cousins finished with 16-16 night, but shot just 6-20 from the floor. Nine of his boards came on the offensive glass, several of them off of his own missed bunnies.

Thornton had 22 overall, 18 in the second half. Thomas had 18 overall, 16 in the second half, and shot 8-12 after the break. In four starts, I.T. is now averaging 19.5 points, 6.5 assists while shooting 51 percent from the floor (eFG of 59 percent). In other words: he's still balling out of control.

Jimmer Fredette did play, getting 12 minutes in Smart's nine-man rotation. He hit two shots in five tries, one of them a three, scoring a solid eight points. Donte Greene was the odd man out this time. <sad face>

The Kings next play on Tuesday against the Jazz. DeMarcus Cousins will be dominating the Rising Stars Challenge on Friday.

Probably best for Jimmer to get traded to a team that wins games and has a good coach. Sacramento has been an awful team for years and will do nothing other than hold Jimmer back. Being completely honest here – what player in the NBA wants to play for the Kings? None. Hope Jimmer is traded.

by Italics on Feb 23, 2012 12:01 AM PST up reply actions  

Agreed!

Jimmer needs to be on a real team where teammates play for each other and not their next individual contracts. I’ve been watching almost all year and I can’t help but notice that his “teammates” continue to freeze him out of nearly all aspects of the offense. Get him to a team that plays good team ball like the Knicks or the Jazz!

If he gets traded, can we include you guys in the deal?

The thought of several thousand new Kings fans was nice a few months ago, but it’s becoming pretty clear that your lot tends to be of the “biased homer” variety more than the “diehard fan”.

We can all see that our team is far from the top, and I can assure you that we don’t need reminders from angry BYU fans in every other thread. Surely there must be another outlet where you guys can create alternate screen names to agree with “each other” and disagree with the rest of us.

So, I'm guessing you have only been a Kings "fan" since we drafted Jimmer

Real Kings fans can accept that IT is our best player at times and needs to play. Jimmer could become a great player, but he isn’t ready to bump Tyreke, Thorton, or IT.

by SharkKings49 on Feb 23, 2012 8:11 AM PST up reply actions  

Considering he’s a rookie, its amazing the sense of calm I have late in a game with the ball in IT’s hands. Composure AND passion. Hard to come by. Especially this early in a career!

by Darren King on Feb 22, 2012 7:23 PM PST reply actions  

My observations from game

1) Jimmer fans are louder than Wizards fans
2) Keith Smart substitutions/rotations ??
3) Donte deserves the DNP’s. Has anyone seen the way he acts (goofing off, stretched out over two chairs, and joking with the team mates). Thornton almost knocked his head.
4) I’m a believer in IT now. But I think it’s given rise to the IT jockers.
5) NBA players are overplayed. It seemed more like a pick up game. BUt glad the Kings won.

Agreed

But there are plenty of players with talent who just don’t have the mindset to take it to the next level. Once we get a legitimate SF, his chance will be over.

by mrosado on Feb 22, 2012 7:46 PM PST up reply actions  

Is anyone confident Smart would actually play a SF at SF?

He loves going small. I was thinking about this the other day. If we had AK47 on this roster, would Smart start him at the 3? I’m not at all convinced he would. That happens when don Nelson was your mentor.

I mean, he doesn’t even consider Donte a SF. He plays by far the majority of his minutes as PF under Smart.

Good win, especially heading into the break

However, I found the substitution pattern to be both odd and risky. Not a fan of not putting starters back in who were playing very well, as in Reke and Cousins.

Kinda playing with fire by Smart, but tonight it worked, and IT and MT carried us to victory. Just worried the winning with that lineup in the 4th isn’t something we can duplicate.

by Up&Under on Feb 22, 2012 7:30 PM PST reply actions  

Buckets and IT seem like the backcourt that can close out a game. With IT in instead of Tyreke, I feel pretty calm that we’re going to take care of business.

Smart let the players who got the Kings back into the game continue to play

Works for me. I think that might be what he was referring to after the Warriors game about learning something that he would keep to himself. Jackson left his bench in (who were playing very well) for the entire fourth quarter and the Dubs came away with the win.

They pulled it out, and were largely responsible for the win

However, it was against Washington, and they almost blew it. IT/Marcus while great tonight haven’t shown they can regularly close out games with Reke on the bench. Worked against a terrible team. But sitting Reke isn’t a recipe for longterm success imo.

Reke killed it in the 1st half. Smart just went with who was hot at the end.

by Up&Under on Feb 22, 2012 7:38 PM PST reply actions  

Exactly what you said at the end

Smart went with who was hot and that was why they won. He had Cousins coming in twice, and called him back because the bench made a run. Even Cousins told him to keep Hayes in there (according to Smart’s postgame presser). You gotta go with what’s working, and the bench was definitely working in this game. I can’t fault him for that. I guarantee you, had the bench slipped too much, he would have put both Reke and Cousins in there.

If Thomas keeps up the pace, they’ll have a very hard time keeping him off at least the All-Rookie 2nd team. Also, it’s a travesty that Cole is headed to Orlando this weekend over Isaiah. I know Cole has logged over 100 minutes more than IT, but look at the stats. It’s not like Miami isn’t going to be well represented there anyway. You could actually make a decent argument that Fredette deserves to go as much as Cole.

Also, I’m not saying the that Goudelock and/or Morris are going to be busts down in LA, but you have to believe that right now the Lakers wish they hadn’t passed on IT – FOUR TIMES in the second round!

I hear what you're saying but

I really think Cole should be in the game. It is pretty unbelievable that he has been playing so effective on the Heat when so many veterans have struggled to play along side the big three. Making a contribution as a rookie on a great team should be recognized over making a contribution as a rookie on a bad team. With that said I still think Isaiah deserves to be in the game. They should just add more spots.

so thats no suprise either

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.

IT's real numbers are from his starts

Compared to Rubio and irving, IT did not get much attention in exhibition, practice or early games. It’s really tough when you aren’t sure if or how much you are going to play. It’s tough to get a feel for the game.

IT is just getting started. He will get a lot better as he his given more minutes. He should get at least forty minutes a game. The little guy can take the load — he benchpressed 400 lbs in college.

This is The Year of the Emerging Point Guard. Irving, Rubion, Lin and IT will be stars for years to come, but Isaiah is the best of them. (Look what he did against the Heat versus how Lin fared.). I say this with all seriousness: Isaiah Thomas will someday be in the NBA Hall of Fame.

Fun game.

Gotta say, I did love the combos in the backcourt that Smart used tonight. IT/Thorton killed it in the 2nd half and I did enjoy the Jimmer/Tyreke backcourt at the end of the 1st (That pass to Cousins could’ve been a monster jam/play. I can say that’s one of the very few times Big Cuz doesn’t snag that ball with those great hands of his.) I think if we’re going to get the best out of Jimmer he need to play with Reke on the floor with him and I think Smart noticed that tonight.

It might have been the worst 16/16 game ever.

I’m guessing at least 7 of his 9 offensive boards were tips on his own shot attempts, which also explains his 6-20 shooting. One possession he had 4 tip attempts before finally scoring.

Cuz should not fall in love with those jumpshot.. Its ok taking it but he relies on it way too much! He should set up his low post moves first to open the 15 footers later on.. But i would really prefer him to put his big butt down in the paint more often and go up strong when he’s diwn there…

He misses too many bunnies by being too finesse and not going at it strong… And it would be nice if he would use or develop that jump/half hook more often

Watched the replay, and it was really tough to watch until that final unit started jelling with the score in the 70s. Thomas was great, and it’s good to see Hayes be a factor.

Cisco also hit some nice shots, including the dagger that sewed it up. Thornton also came up big in crunch time. And JT also seemed to be working well with that group.

I fully support Smart sticking with the lineup that was working, and it was nice to see the boys grind out an ugly W on the road.

Really liking Tyreke's overall shot selection during the roadtrip

shots inside 9 ft:

8-8 (10 total) at WAS
7-12 (18 total) at Miami
5-13(17 total) at CLE
7-12 (18 total) at DET
2-5 (14 total) at NYK
7-11 (18 total) at CHI

The only aberration here is the Knick game, where nobody on our team really played well.

Averages for the road trip:

19.2 PTS, 6.3 AST, 6.0 REB, 47.4 FG%, 95.6 FT%, 1.0 STL, .83 BLK, 2.3 TO

Playing most of these minutes as a SG, I really like to see him there, and driving more as a slasher coming from more angles on the court, therefore needing his jumper less. It is a great subtle change that will help him until he gets a consistent jumper.

We made CNNSI's Mid-Season Report!

Worst Offseason/In-Season Moves

1. Kings’ forward platter: Sacramento’s June trade for John Salmons remains borderline inexplicable, as Salmons is shooting 36 percent from the field and playing perhaps the worst defense of his career. In a three-team deal with the Bucks and Bobcats, the Kings took on $11 million in additional long-term money by swapping Beno Udrih and the No. 7 pick in the 2011 draft for Salmons and the No. 10 pick. The move just didn’t make any sense, even if the Kings already had plans at the time to ship incumbent small forward Omri Casspi to Cleveland for J.J. Hickson.

About that latter trade: Casspi has struggled with the Cavs, shooting just 29 percent from three-point range, but Hickson has been perhaps the league’s most disappointing player. He’s shooting just 37 percent, hasn’t developed any refined offensive moves and has essentially fallen out of coach Keith Smart’s rotation. The Kings also sent a first-round pick to Cleveland in that deal and are paying Outlaw $12 million over four years. Outlaw is shooting 29 percent and has made four three-pointers all season.

The Kings could have done exactly zero of these moves and just drafted Jimmer Fredette at No. 7.

It’s not like GM’s have no idea what the guys done with the Cavs. If they don’t trade him now I think you’d have to resign him this offseason. I hope JT and JJ don’t cost too much, because I don’t see this team keeping both.

But in this case, I think Heuristic makes a good point. It might be better not to play him; thus causing GM’s to rely on his play with the Cav’s. Let that be their visual impression; not what he has been doing in Sacramento.

In the end, I’m pretty happy about our draft and that we got IT (even if Jimmer hasn’t been the Jimmer from BYU). It would be nice to see our lotto pick live up to expectations, but its really fun watching #60 and seeing how far he can take it. I still see Jimmer as a solid NBA player, but worst case, I think he still has decent trade value. For now, IT is the stud rookie and Jimmer is the prospect.
