Sacramento Sean Mays @ Utah

IT'S pretty pathetic when we are basically at full strength & they are without both D.WILLIAMS & BOOZER & we still lose !

[SacTownKings4Life]

The two best players did their job tonight, however there is a recurring theme most notably on the road. Where is the REST of the team at? *milk carton* "have you seen me?"

[cuad]

I didn't get to see much of the game because of stream issues, but for the brief moments that I saw the game I saw Martin catch the ball and shoot, and then catch the ball and run the basket and get fouled. It was that easy for him, and yet he decided to pass on all of that for the last week. I hope he's learned his lesson and continues to bring it in the upcoming games.

That said, Spencer Hawes has earned my forgiveness just because Jason Thompson has proved to me that a player could actually be worse.

The offense continues to suck. Our next game against the Bobcats will be painful because they're the best defensive team in the league by opponent's points per 100 possessions.

Ouch.

We've got to improve this frontcourt somehow. Either JT needs to come out of his slump or we need to make a trade and get a real PF. I don't really want to wait around for Hawes to develop either but he's atleast showing a pulse. A few more boards, blocks, or made lay ups and we win some of these games.

Agreed, but give the jazz coaching stuff some credit. The Sloan system is a thing of beauty when it is not disrupted. that's what happen when you a great coach and great system.

Classic cuad..

ya it is frustrating. I'm glad to see the Martin/Evans duo tear it up, but two guys have good games? Come on...the one thing I couldn't help but think all game long was what if we had Millsap to go along with Evans and Martin? I'd take that any day of the week, highly doubtful.

Also, after yesterday I don't see Petrie trading Martin, simply because he gives us more firepower atm, and I don't see any options that will actually help our frontcourt out.

[darkadun]

oh, and another thing. I think part of the issues with this team is that they don't know how to play with each other, I thought Casspi deserved more looks as well as Hawes.

Spence was 3-6, and didn't play at all in the 4th. I've noticed recently he'll have a pretty good game going and not play many minutes nor get the touches he needs. This makes our offense very one dimensional, or two dimensional with Martin/Evans. I can see going to them in the closing minutes, totally fine. But earlier on, spread it around, especially to Hawes.

IMO, Hawes is very much a rytham player, when gets his touches he plays well. I think this is a huge point actually. Speaking from experience in playing sports, when you don't get the ball much, and go long periods of time without a shot or even just passing the ball, you don't ever get any rytham. Lets face it, Hawes is going to help us out offensively and with his passing. He can improve his rebounding and defense, but those are not his strong strengths, nor where his real value his. The other aspect is that when Hawes does have a good offensive game going, the other aspects of his game step up a notch, and this is only natural. Maybe I'm off base here, dunno, just a thought.

Thank gooooooodness I was never on the "JT" bandwagon. This guy is like a roller coaster!....one night he looks like he's gonna be a stud the next 44 games he looks like James Singleton...seriously! He's an okay player but certainly NOT what my fellow kings fans TRY to make him out to be!.....Like someone said, he can DEFINATELY be traded for something

[dozencousins]

I agree with the comments you said towards me AROD but none the less when we are at full strength & the opposition has their top 2 players or at least top 2 of the 3 there is no way we should lose to anybody .

I agree, and best situation for us is to package Martin and Thompson for an all star big

What's up perez, I was BMiller before remember me? Anyway, JT was one of my favorite players for a while, but his slump has gotten out of control
