1. Miller is by far our best PG and should start. Poor Blake has no chance. 2. Oden is our best center and should start. He looks great. Pryz... see above. 3. Batum and Webster didnt really impress... but i still think webby is a better all around player then batum. Webster played 30 minutes so im guessing batum will get more min tomorrow night. 4. SERGIO STILL SUCKS LMAO! 5. Still seems like we don't match up well vs the Kings. Why? 6. LA looks in mid season form. 7. Roy might have a nagging injury or is just not a fan of pre season. Numbers looked sergio like and thats bad. 8. Hard to believe blazers didnt break 100 vs sac.
Roy had a tweaked hammy that limited him in the fan fest and I imagine it was still bothering him here in tonight's game. I never worry about Roy though, especially in preseason.
Think you have to come away impressed with Greg. Just by listening to him on the radio, he sounded pretty good. Andre, LaMarcus. The big guys combined for 38 points tonight. If we can get 40 plus a night from those two. That would be a very good thing.
He got kneed in the liver by a Sacto player (and subsequently called for a blocking foul by Lazy Ref). I bet he's not feeling so great.
Are we sure it wasn't a typeo? That shot gave him 17 points, so until I actually see it, I don't believe it was from 17 feet.
What did we learn? Sounds like Oden is rejuvenated, LMA was stroking it, Roy was probably cruising it, Miller can dictate the tempo of a game, Sergio still sucks , Jason Thompson and John Brockman are going to help the Kings' woeful rebounding, Evans sounds like a shooting guard, Nic and Rudy probably need some rest, Webster needs as much PT as he can get, Blake still is good at what he does, but probably can't take over a game, the replacement refs probably suck ... and we learned never take too much away from the first preseason game.
I was there. It wasn't 17 feet or a turnaround jumper. I'd guess he was about 12 feet out, with his back to the basket. He then faced his man up, who played off him, and thats when he stuck a nice little jumper. It was a pretty nice shot!
Oh no, what you didn't see is the way Sergio kept their heads above water with his crisp passes and the way he utterly demoralized Steve, Andre and Bayless (I'm pretty sure I heard one of them crying through the radio). If not for Sergio the Kings would have lost by 30 like they did last pre-season.
I learned that replacing Future Hall of Famer Sergio with a worthless scrub like Andre Miller caused us to win by a smaller margin against Sacto than last year.
Greg looked great tonight after what we saw of him last season. Just a whole lot leaner and he skied up high for a block in the second half, and he has a lot more confidence on the offensive end. I was happy to see it. And Andre Miller is going to help this team out a lot. He's just saavy, and brings a calming presence while seeing the floor real well. And Brandon really looked like he lost some weight. Hopefully he's able to withstand the pounding over the season at 205. I'm not too worried about him though. Once the game counts, he'll be back. Overall, I think we looked real good and real deep and once we get it together, it could be scary.
Indeed. With those two moves KP has doomed this team to a string of mediocrity, while Sergio is about to lead the resurgent Kings back to their glory days. FUCK!!! WHY GOD?!!?!?! WHY DID WE FORSAKE HIM TOO SOON? We might as well admit it, Maris ... was right
