[Game] Kings @ Hornets - 1/28/17 - 4PT/7ET

If you front Cousins and then just fall down, the refs more likely than not will call a foul on Cousins....I keep seeing that over and over

I notice this as well. The entry pass is always too late, even if he has his man properly pinned. All it takes is that split second.

 

[kingsboi]

I really like how we have looked on this whole road trip overall. I don't know why we did not play like this on our ill fated recent home stand, but I really hope it carries over for a long while.

The team obviously plays better on the road then at home. I can't point my finger on why but I'll take it. Road games are the hardest to win.

Keep an eye on Voldemort in the second half. I would not put it past him to intentionally try to trip Cousins ... something I have never accused a player of since the days of Bruce Bowen.

Forced to be around your teammates and focus on basketball.

 

[Glenn]

He is not the best defender for sure, but he is 3/3 from 3 so far and has 11 points. He is just a little streaky as far as having a good game.

He has 6 rbds. also.

I don't think G1C really feels like home yet. The court is the same as far as length, width, etc. but everything else is different.

Gene Hackman could prove you right.

Complacency perhaps? It's all mental at the end of the day.

 

[glassman]

Voldemort was an abject failure in Sacramento and he's an abject failure now. I'd love to see DMC playing mind games with him, but it's kind of like having a battle of wits with belly button lint.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssss. Haha takes me back... just the beginning of the my I told u so guys moments

We certainly do have a better record on the road so far. I am wondering if our recent roster shake up also has something to do with this improved play we are seeing. No way to know for sure.

I've been noticing that too. Also if you double team him your allowed to be extremely physical with your body and push him using it without a foul being called, it's only a foul if you smack him very obviously.

 

[Suicide King]

So glad we have Elston Turner on the sidelines again.

 

[VF21]

Appearing fairly obvious a big part of the Charlotte game plan is to do everything they can to frustrate Boogie.

NOTE: Grant announced that both Boogie and Voldemort received technicals for their altercation.

 

[kingjatt]

Not mentioned enough that Affalo looks soo much better on both sides of the ball at the 3. He has definitely turned it around without Rudy in there.

 

[VF21]

If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say it's the opposite of complacency. The new arena is mind-boggling. The score board alone looks like a giant space ship hovering over the court (a la Independence Day). The tunnels are constructed differently and the lower bowl has handrails, something Arco never had. It really does take a while for it to sink in that you're sitting in an arena in Sacramento...and not somewhere on the road.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

We should just put Cousins and Marvin Williams in the Octagon and get it over with.

 

[Suicide King]

Kemba has decided to join the party. Hopefully we can contain him.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

We may be the only team in the NBA whose role players play better on the road.

You always play better at the tryouts.

 

[VF21]

I hate 3rd quarters.

 

[kingjatt]

Collison getting cooked.

 

[gil renard]

Good ball movement.

 

[gil renard]

Oh great...Kemba going off now.

 

[Kingsfan23]

This team fouls jump shooters more than I've ever seen

 

[dude12]

DC. Just can't guard Kemba

 

[glassman]

It's just time to move collision. Hope he can just put up great numbers but he needs to go. FA anyway.

 

[dude12]

At least the refs are calling the mugging on Marvin Williams...one of the few times,they give Cuz that call

@kayte_c What's the story with Omri? Thought it was his calf, but NBA injury report (CBSSports) now says "foot." Will he ever play again?

Kayte Christensen ‏@kayte_c 1m1 minute ago They’re wrong. Omri has calf strain not a foot injury. Spoke w/him yesterday. Making progress. 1st day on court today prior to the game

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

The lack of a defensive stopper at point guard hurts way more than the lack of an elite scorer at point guard.

 

[dude12]

Grant Napear is zoned in on Cousins right now....this is all we will hear for the remainder of the game
