Sactown looks legit tracking thread

Yeah, Casspi's numbers look good. Then you take a closer look and realize that his 56% shooting translates to 9-16 for the season. He's an 0-6 from shooting 41%.

 

If they are 10-20 after "about 50 games" then they are in REAL trouble.

 

lmfao real talk

 

That simply would not happen, because I think it would take some time for both Durant and Westbrook to get their conditioning back.

 

haha, I said 50 games are played after the start of the new year. meaning ~30 are played between oct-dec. if they are 10-20 at the end of 2014/start of 2015, they will be in trouble

 

You must be right. Let's revisit this in a month or two.

 

Huh, SAC scores 40 pt in the first quarter against Denver.

 

Sacramento will be 7th or 8th seed in the West. Solid team.

Amazing how the free agency of Isaiah Thomas seems to have helped two teams. Absolutely an addition by subtraction type move for Sacramento, and he is a great fit in the Suns backcourt.

Kings only mistake was not drafting Elfrid Payton. Stauskus looks like a total non-factor, not really sure what that guy's role in the NBA will be.

 

68 points at half. Wow. Cousins with 26 and 9 already

 

7th best defense after playing Clips, Blazers, GSW, and Nuggets.

I'm liking what I see out of DC. His maturity was the biggest factor holding him back these past few years.

 

Ben McLemore is looking like a future Rocket lol. Future 2nd for him Morey?

 

Now the 56.5% shooting translates to 13-23 for the season and he is 0-9 away from shooting 41%. However, he's shot 14-15 from the stripe. In other words he gets to the line 3 times more than in Houston on an annual level (he learned something from Harden).

 

Casspi is a good guy to have with Cousins. Omri is from Israel so he is used to dealing with potentially explosive situations.

 

5-1 and 5th seed.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Make that 5-1 for Kings, who - according to telecast - haven't started this hot since Jason &quot;White Chocolate&quot; Williams was a rookie (99-00)</p>&mdash; Sam Amick (@sam_amick) <a href="https://twitter.com/sam_amick/status/530948667973201920">November 8, 2014</a></blockquote>

So, if the Kings are getting into the top 8, who is coming out?
