Kings @ Wolves
Game starts at 5pm pacific time. My guess for the starters
Rubio
Ridnour
Johnson
Beasley
Pekovic
vs.
Evans
Thornton
Salmons
Thompson
Cousins
Bench
Barea
Ellington
Webster
Williams
Miller
vs.
Thomas
Fredette
Garcia
Hickson
Hayes
We should dominate the boards with Love out, but we have to come in more ready than we did last night. Make Rubio a scorer, stay with your man off the ball and if somebody starts going off (say, Ridnour) then stay the hell on him.
Offensively, Tyreke needs to just keep driving, driving, and driving, and we need to keep playing unselfish ball. Start with the D, then play unselfish offense.

Re: Kings @ Wolves
I think Williams is getting the start at PF tonight Pill. Should be interesting without Love. I'm worried about the frontcourt matchup from a Wolves perspective. Good luck, hope it's a good one.

Re: Kings @ Wolves
I'm hoping DMC/JT takes advantage of the light front court tonight. We Need a GS Warriors-type of performance from those two. We need to contain Ridnour, too. He killed us last game.

Re: Kings @ Wolves
We need a "good Thornton" tonight. He's been shooting ~35% from the field in his last 10 games. The injury has been lingering so far.
Sooner or later, Thornton needs to shoot/score well because Cousins can't go 20/20 every night for us to have a chance to win.

Re: Kings @ Wolves
Wolves looks like they really want to go break the .500 mark so far.

I don't like how the kings are going under the screen on Rubio. I know he can't shoot but I believe leaving him unpressured allows him to make those passes. Use Evans to smother him.

Re: Kings @ Wolves
Did the Kings telecast show a replay of that second foul on Cuz? Looked like booshee to me, but I didn't get to see a replay.

Yeah he grabbed his arm.

Re: Kings @ Wolves
So many turnovers and the twolves are killing us on the break. We would be closer if we could keep the ball. And how is pekovic demolishing our bigs?

Re: Kings @ Wolves
It's like we're trying too hard to run things the way we do in practice. We're trying to make passes that "should be" open instead of making ones that actually are open. We need to take much better care of the ball.
