[Game] Cavaliers @ Kings, 3-16-11

[Capt. Factorial]

No game thread? Hopefully everybody is at PBP...

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Jumpshots basically not falling for the Kings - we'd be lucky to be ahead if it weren't the Cavs.

 

[gunks]

Speaking of jumpers...I dont like Cuz taking them.

He has a big size advantage on J.J. he should be in the post. He has his best games when he plays in the post. Westphal...Do your job and coach!

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Damn. I was hoping we would get through the quarter with only the one timeout.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Damn. I was hoping we would get through the quarter with only the one timeout.

It was close. I don't remember ever seeing that happen, but I'm sure it has and I just didn't notice. I think the first mandatory today didn't come until after the 3 minute mark - normally that would be the second.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Hrmm... I think I'm going to go with the safe guess for the Cache Creek, and say Webber and the Rock.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Manny Harris seems to look good every time I see him. Small sample size?

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Hrmm... I think I'm going to go with the safe guess for the Cache Creek, and say Webber and the Rock.

I think the Rock is solid. I wonder if Webb had 6 40-point games? It's gotta be Webb, Kevin, or Peja, right?

 

[Capt. Factorial]

I wish Cousins didn't insist on bringing the ball up when he can easily pass it off to an open guard. It's just a charge waiting to happen, even if it did result in an assisted three that time.

 

[gunks]

Westphal really needs to get on Cuz about those long jumpers. I read somewhere (quoted fuzzily, I dont have a photographic memory), that Cousins took less than 30 jumpers in college, but Calipari constantly had to harp on him to work inside.

Get to harping Westphail!

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I appreciate the little nod to Nate Dogg there.

 

[rainmaker]

I think the Rock is solid. I wonder if Webb had 6 40-point games? It's gotta be Webb, Kevin, or Peja, right?

Pretty sure Kev is one. Has 9 40pt games, and 2 or 3 have come with Hou. Mitch would be my other guess.

 

[Spike]

Harangody cannot be contained!


OK, that's my homerism for the night. Go Kings!

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Pretty sure Kev is one. Has 9 40pt games, and 2 or 3 have come with Hou. Mitch would be my other guess.

You were in fact correct. Both Kevin and Mitch had 6 with Sac.

layup after layup and missed dunks.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Wow. If we lose to this depleted Cavs team maybe Anaheim will tell us to take a hike.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

That wasn't even a foul in Europe.

 

[Spike]

Glad to see them come out of the half with a little fire. Bring in the bench!

 

[kingsboi]

I was afraid they would come out and play lackadasical and they are doing just that. Can somebody out there play with some hustle and energy? What kind of hot garbage are they putting out there. I hope the Cavs beat us, we need a damn wake up call.

 

[steelevt]

the worse team in the nba, they replace jamison and varejao with a couple undrafted rookies, baron davis is out, and we are at home..how are we losing to these scrubs?

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Westphal - if it's NOT WORKING for 6 minutes, why in the world do you call a timeout and then put the same five players out there?!?

Edit - because apparently he had a feeling we'd hit three straight threes. Who knew?

 

[steelevt]

and just like that we find out why the cavs are the cavs

 

[cuad]

Thornton is a freak of nature. Jesus!

 

[gunks]

Turns out....Thorton was just toying with them!

 

[Capt. Factorial]

So after that Beno-not-even-a-touch foul, the officials are now letting street-thuggery on both sides go with nary a blink? Ridiculous.

 

[Spike]

and just like that we find out why the cavs are the cavs

To be fair, the Kings are still the Kings. Let's see if we can do better than just playing to the level of our competition.

 

[kingsboi]

Cousins 5/16 or something like that? There is no reason he should be struggling THAT much against this Cavaliers team, I mean come on. SMH.

 

[gunks]

Cousins has been jackin those jumpers

 

[rainmaker]

flashes of webb on that pass

 

[Arkitect]

If cousins could have made some of his layups, this could have been a monster game for him.
