Clippers vs Kings 10/18 final preseason game

[funkykingston]

Temple & McLemore are the starting backcourt with Gay, Cousins & Koufos.

Early on the Kings look sloppy and disjointed and the Clippers look sharp.

 

[CurseOfTheSalmons]

What the heck is this starting lineup?

 

[Kingsfan23]

Rudy Gay turnover and that air ball..

Weird backcourt to start.. And a bad start

 

[NewArena]

not sure why Aflalo and Barnes are both out

whats the point? we need to see how everything fits and offensively we look horrible

 

[Kingsfan23]

Ben losing Reddick multiple times

 

[funkykingston]

What the heck is this starting lineup?

Unless the Kings trade away or waive a guy with a guaranteed contract there's no roster spot for Farmar. If that's the case Temple is the backup PG for the first 8 games.

 

[Kingsfan23]

Clippers in regular season form..

 

[whoopdeedoo]

Ben playing good tonight.

 

[funkykingston]

The Warriors game gave me some optimism. This first quarter is eroding a fair amount of that.

 

[PurpleHaze]

What the heck is this starting lineup?

Who dat? Who on the court end of game. This critical contest, must win! Yawn...

 

[whoopdeedoo]

The Warriors game gave me some optimism. This first quarter is eroding a fair amount of that.

Why? No Afflalo or Collison.

 

[Kingsfan23]

Not a good feel to end the preseason with the worst game..

Last preseason game is usually coached more as a regular season game..

Cousins complaining on a non foul..

 

[SacTownKid]

Kosta and Cuz just doesn't work against pick and roll teams. Kosta especially gives up wide open jumpers every time. Time to start thinking about correcting that coach.

 

[funkykingston]

Why? No Afflalo or Collison.

Because they are a mess and Collison will be out for 8 games.

 

[whoopdeedoo]

Because they are a mess and Collison will be out for 8 games.

Then what sense does it make to say the Warriors game gave you some optimism if 2 of the 5 guys who started that game aren't even playing tonight.

edit: 1/5 of the guys. Forgot Lawson started.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Lawson sober trey

 

[PurpleHaze]

Kings mini offensive explosion

 

[Joshoua]

This lineup will be very hoops for us and I think Tolliver will get a lot of open 3s off it

 

[jcwkings]

Clipper starting lineup is probably 2nd or 3rd best in league, always going to be a battle to stay with them. For a team like us we need the 2nd unit to bring it against theirs.

 

[Kingsfan23]

I think we learned Temples PG role might not be smooth at all times

 

[kingjatt]

this doesnt look like a regular season dress rehersal we are not running at full speed or running some of the sets that were effective earlier in the preseason, this seems more like dont give other teams film.....so far anyway.

 

[whoopdeedoo]

UH OH MO BUCKETS! Always seems to play good against us.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Kings 10-0 run

 

[funkykingston]

I don't like Koufos always starting with Cousins. Defensively it's going hurt then against a fair number of starting lineups.

 

[kingjatt]

I like how DJ uses Rudy keeps him engaged and lets him make some plays, very much malone like.

 

[thingfish]

Defense leading to offense. Yes!

 

[funkykingston]

Rudy is usually so smooth. He's forcing things and that blown layup was a good example.

Great block by Tolliver.

Great alley oop to Cuz

 

[206Fan]

I don't like Koufos always starting with Cousins. Defensively it's going hurt then against a fair number of starting lineups.

I think this means WCS needs to step up. His preseason play has been pretty meh.

 

[whoopdeedoo]

This is fun

 

[funkykingston]

Collison
Lawson
Casspi
Tolliver
Cousins

This lineup is quick and deadly with plenty of shooting.
