[Game] Sacramento Kings @ Boston Celtics, 2/7/14 4:30 PST, 7:30 EST

Jimmer and Landry with -17 +/- in only 7 mins. that unit threw the game away

 

[Glenn]

Only bright spot of the night was Demarcus literally picking IT up and separating him from the scrum.

Very disappointed in the Kings. No effort, no hustle, no enthusiasm, and pretty much no interest in not looking like batpoopoo.

Bat guano.

Again, can someone explain to me what's going on in Malone's mind? He tried that lineup in the first and it was terrible. Then he goes right back to it. PLATOON SUBSTITUTIONS ARE NOT COOL UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH KEITH FRIKIN SMART

 

[The_Jamal]

It's crazy how dependent we are on the trio being on the floor together for us to be competitive. Whenver a guy misses, it just destroys all the good aspects we've started to build this year

 

[Kingsfan23]

I'm a very pro IT guy, and do believe he is the future at starting pg, but st some point the inefficient offense and peremiter game has to cease

 

[CelticsFan]

did not know that was in Sullingers game.

Just developed the 3 this year, it's a work in progress but Im happy with his progression

I really don't blame Jimmer that much. I mean yes he wasn't very effective but he wasn't the one giving up open dunks, not rebounding and bricking shots.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Bat guano = Pizza poop?

 

[Glenn]

Bat guano = Pizza poop?

Depends on who is dumping it.

 

[enigma99a]

I posted a while back that so far this season, when IT has 17 or more attempts per game, we have yet to win a game. Tonight at 23 shots, the trend holds true

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Anyone feel like Ben doesn't have much passion for the game? He never shows any emotion on the court, like at all.

Im not blaming Jimmer. just using that as an example of how horrible that bench unit was. Malone is at fault for putting that unit on the floor.

 

[Glenn]

31 pts and 16 rbds on a lazy day for Cuz.

I'll beat my house that this stat holds true with just about every team in the NBA.

 

[The_Jamal]

29 pts and 15 rbds on a lazy day.

unfortunately, his counterpart had 31 and 16. Not all on Cuz, but from the 2nd half I saw, he only played on one end tonight

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

But his counterpart had a career night.

 

[jcwkings]

IT is the only one there that looks like he cares out there. Cousins was completely outplayed by Sullinger, which should never happen. The rest of the team was unspeakable.

 

[miltonap]

I miss Jason Hart

 

[VF21]

unfortunately, his counterpart had 31 and 16. Not all on Cuz, but from the 2nd half I saw, he only played on one end tonight

And that's one end more than the rest of the team played. What a crapfest.

IT chucked quite a bit out there.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Wow Wallace is closing in on a triple double.......yikes!

Wallace's career averages versus Sacramento are something like 17/6/3/2/1. And that's counting the last two seasons in Brooklyn and Boston, where he's essentially been non-existent.

Ever consider that the rest start getting annoyed when he's jacking up 23 shots? I mean, it is the PG who is supposed to set guys up right? Isn't that what you were arguing about Tyreke vs Vasquez and what not?

 

[PurpleHaze]

Anyone feel like Ben doesn't have much passion for the game? He never shows any emotion on the court, like at all.

I think he's still finding his way in the league. Still has a lot to learn - obviously. Reportedly is hard worker and has made progress in fits and starts this season. Was totally lost in summer league we all recall. Can't buy him a beer legally quite yet or I would and just say hang in there kiddo.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I'll beat my house that this stat holds true with just about every team in the NBA.

That what stat holds true? How could a statistic specifically applied to Isaiah Thomas "hold true" to any other team in the NBA? And what would you beat your house with?

 

[jcwkings]

IT chucked quite a bit out there.

Yeah he chucked but only because the rest of the team were playing like zombies. He actually started the game playing conservative and started looking for his shot more when it was obvious the rest of the team was laying an egg. In terms of effort, he's the only one i saw on the team playing with it tonight(including Cousins).

 

[CelticsFan]

Sacramento needs a smarter PG and Im not just saying that because I want to trade Rondo. Way too many shots for Thomas never mind the bad looks he took on top of it.

 

[Kingsfan23]

It is hard for me to stomach outlaw. He just does/is the wrong thing. Got to get some of our wings back for Washington

 

[HereWeBoogie]

IT is the only one there that looks like he cares out there.

Cares about his PPG

He literally plays like a boy among men out there. Despite the fact that he can run and jump with the best, the fact that he is not very strong and doesn't carry much mass in his body, really hurts his play against NBA players

 

[Glenn]

The Hustlin' Huskie shot 23 times and scored 24. He may hustle but his judgment is bad. IT is not improving. He looks good with Gay and Cuz are on the court with him but then I might look good in that situation. He falls apart under pressure and as much as he hustles, I want someone who does something more useful. He is not a star no matter what anyone says. Most of our team are not stars but I think they know that. It hasn't gotten through to IT. I was rooting for him early on in the game as he was shooting in the flow of the game and then he began to force shots. And then there's the end of the quarter crap. Why pass to someone with a second or two on the clock. He is unaware of the game situation and what his team mates are doing.

Maybe that's too much but I am sick of him.
