Reke has 4 field goal attempts, IT has 6 (8 if you include the 4 free throw attempts from fouls drawn).
IT's hero ball and MT's black-hole-syndrome drive me nuts!

OK, now, if you want to win, and I say IF, you play a lot of minutes to anyone who happens to be hot and unless there is some very unusual circumstance, you give a lot of minutes to your big studs because they can break loose at anytime,
Now what do you do when your #1 stud scores 10 points on 4-7 shooting in the first quarter? 4-7 is statistically almost off the chart for this particular shooter. ALMOST. I think you can merge both principles and play him A LOT more than usual. So what happens? Nothing which either means Smart doesn't agree with my reasoning or he is unaware of how this guy is playing.
Edit: the truth may be that Smart knows no other way of coaching than using unit ball. Any change from that leads to a horrible headache from the dissonance it leads to.

Upwards and onwards.
He received 17 mins in the first half, for the whole game that is 34.. which is close to your request for 35+
I added more to my note. I think he should have been played more in the 2nd quarter.
Upwards and onwards.
I agree with that. I am a fan of the plan to play him 10-11 mins in the 1st quarter, then the final 8 mins of the second quarter, depending on foul situation.
Maybe next coach
Nice Garcia, foul a 3pt shooter
I wish Jimmer could get some run with the other starters.
JT is on another level of awfulness
DMC giving up. DMC just standing while Cisco was battling for the rebound
Good foul by Garcia. That was a certain basket that he prevented. Where was Cisco's help though?

No kidding. I wouldn't be surprised if he got no minutes the second half. He was on a decent rhythm and then pfft!, minutes are but and now he's on a minute by mibute bases: if he doesn't produce, he doesn't play. And before I get a complaint about that last concept, Jimmer has shown he has improved a great deal this year. It is since his minutes have been screwed with that he has fallen off. For those of us who saw him in college, we know how well he shoots.
Upwards and onwards.
Well since IT is the Kings perfect pg, I want to see Jimmer traded to a team that knows what he can do. He will become a success in the NBA but not with the Kings. After he is gone, the Kings will have what they deserve in IT as their future.
Thats what I was seeing
How can the Kings be -9 in the boards but +6 in assists? Did the Wiz and Kings trade teams?

Garcia leads the team with 17 pts. How many minutes should he play?
Upwards and onwards.
He's been crap since the Suns game.
Dude needs a mentor. Or a good coach. Or both. He just loses focus and drive way too easily.
Optimism FTW!!
That assumes the Maloofs don't sell and Smart remains the coach. Don't plan on it.
Upwards and onwards.
You sound bitter. I just want to know if Jimmer really can play. It is hard to know what kind of player he is when he is running with T-Rob (when he thinks he is an offensive player) Chuck Hayes, Marcus Thornton (who just ignores Jimmer) and bunch of other role players with no offensive system. If he is out their with talented players the offensive system isn't as important and those guys are much more willing passers than IT, MT T-Rob or James Johnson.
