Kings @ Warriors

Douglas looking ideal after that game. Evans didn't play well but the defense with both he and Evans in there at the same time was just smothering.

The problem with Douglas is the same as the others--he's not a real PG. Definitely a nice role player for the right situation though.

[SacKingZZZ]

Douglas actually did pretty darn good running the pick and roll tonight, better than I've seen both Thomas or Jimmer run it this year probably. He did really good especially for his first time seeing real action. PG duties wasn't the problem and really hasn't been the problem for most of the year. 28 assists is getting it done in the play making department. Cousins and Evans have to reappear and coach needs to realize that there is a pretty decent rotation to put around them if he thinks hard enough. Of course, I don't know how much you can trust a coach who spends 2 minutes drawing up a spread isolation play.

Patrick looks like a solid player. His rebounding doesn't seem as bad as I thought. He tends to box out more and let someone else get rebounds. He has an all around offensive game and pretty good defensively.

Douglass actually looked a lot better than I credit him for.

If he can get into his NY-form (or better), he will be a solid option to have on the bench.

We should just run the offense through Cousins like we did couple of years ago when he's at the elbow. Plant shooters/role players all around the court.

Never really liked how IT runs the offense. He's okay at times but he a scoring guard by heart.

Douglas (38% 3PT: last year)
Evans (36% 3PT; this year)
Salmons (41% 3PT: this year)
Patterson (36% 3PT: career)
Cousins

Over the past three games, Kings C DeMarcus Cousins is averaging 9.0 pts and shooting 32 pct from the field.

[boogie-reke]

I'm so sick of DeMarcus and how he handles himself.

Tried to watch him throughout when he was on the bench, didn't move a muscle and looked so caught up in himself.. even when we made that run everyone got rallied up and got off their seats in excitement on the bench, and he was the only one who continued to sit like he doesn't even care about his team cause he's not out there playing.

[KF10]

Yeah, I saw that too.

When Patterson hit the 3PTer, everyone was cheering and on their feet. Cousins was the only one sitting down. But to be fair, once Patterson hit the other three, Cousins got up and cheered a bit.

As much I love to see Cousins develop into a star, I don't think he will be one here. Unless, the new management brought in players that can really help this team to win (and a GM that can draft the correct players).

IMO all of this Cousins' immaturity/negative attitude he brings can be erased if this team starts winning and contending for the playoffs.

Wow I didn't know Evans was shooting 36% from 3 this year. Yeah he doesn't shoot that many but he has definitely improved.

He's attempting about 1 3PTer a game but that's a lot better when in the past he regularly hoist 2 a game while shooting them at a 25% clip. Little by little, Evans has been improving his shot beyond the arc. I really hope he can master a set 3PT shot ala Kidd's set 3PT shot in a couple of years from now.

I was annoyed with the second-to-last possession, when the Kings had the one point lead and Douglas threw up a contested three-point shot with 5 seconds left on the shot clock. They came out of a timeout (99.9% sure) and there is no reason why IT/Tyreke/Jimmer/Thornton didn't handle the ball on that possession. Douglas should have been replaced with a more offensive-minded player, but Smart wanted to win this game on the defensive end. However, GSW called a timeout after that possession, so the defensive replacement could have happened.

No they didn't. Smart didn't call a time out there...for some reason.
