Golden Shower Warriors - Sacramento Kings Game Thread.

92-93.

Cousins sort of pushes a shot. It misses, Warriors rebound.

Whew! Some ugly basketball. But, great defensive effort by the kings for 48 min. Brooks was huge in the forth. Thankfully Curry was off to tonite and Bogut played limited minutes. Kings had the lead up to 16 and choked it away
Reke was awful, just awful. He needs to be traded ASAP. He's actually starting to hurt this team.
Detroit on wed, so 2-3 is possible.

Cousins played great, but he only wants to shoot jumpers now. A serious red flag.

This is the discouraging part.

As well as how close the game was. You have to be able to have a greater buffer margin than 2-5 points all the time.

The offense was horrendous to watch though. It's a complete disaster. We played solid defense for most of the game, until the last 3 minutes. Our backcourt had zero assists. Zero! Strange fact: Cousins played 33 min, despite never being in foul trouble. Keith Smart cannot coach, plain and simple. Yes, this team is poorly constructed, but Smart and his rotations are flat out retarded. Outlaw should never be on the floor!

LOL, agree.

I'd rather have Garcia.

[kingraider412]

Haha! I was definitely missing some Garcia tonite. He's a great cheer leader.

[nuraman00]

Garcia might not be able to shoot anymore, but at least he still takes good shots and not ugly ones like Outlaw.

And while his defense is not what it used to be, it's still better than Outlaw's, for those 5-10 mpg.

it took Brooks to bail them out

[graumet]

Tyreke had a ton of points tonight.

[nuraman00]

Tyreke had a ton of points tonight.

At least his volume has been appropriate, and I've been pleased with his increased defense.

[kingraider412]

His commitment to the D will land us a better player at the trade deadline.

it was also him that put them into the predicament at the end of the game too with holding onto the ball until 8 seconds left on the shot clock. get that fucking ball moving around.

Basketball IQ and the Kings: An Oxymoron!
How about that James Johnson foul at the forth. Brilliant!
I see an marked difference in our defense. But, our offense is a mess and once we start playing good teams with full rosters. Meaning their star player or players are on the court, we will see how good our defense is. The month of Nov is our season. A majority of the games at home. We're 1-3 right now. 12 left in the month. Realistically, I see us winning no more than 3-4. I will say 5-11 or 6-10 for this month.
