The Jimmer heard your pleas and is now starting.

And he spent the entire 2nd quarter on the bench, replaced by Isaiah Thomas...

Good game. Enjoyed it. I was sitting 2 rows behind Jimmer's father. Having the kings in town must have bumped the 6ers attendance by 10% at least, but that wouldn't take much. There were Jimmer jerseys, signs, BYU jerseys, etc everywhere. Incredible that he's got such a following here. That said, the game turned into Jimmer vs the 6ers, or you would have thought so by listening to the crowd. A lot of hate spewed at Jimmer and his fans. Kind of embarrassing actually for 6er's fans who have a good team and still have to find someone to belittle.



Jimmer did not have his best game. Got lost on defense, was hesitant against the 76ers guards, passed up some shots he should have taken, took some he should have passed on, lost the handle surprisingly more than I expected, and was confused a couple times on defense when the 76ers hit big shots. Thomas looked much more comfortable handling the ball, but is a mismatch whenever he is on the floor, and not in the King's favor. The Kings coach (Smart) must have decided that he only needs one point guard on the floor, Evans rarely brought the ball up the floor. It was Jimmer or Thomas, depending on who was in. The Kings are still a BAD team. Jimmer has little support. He would be averaging 10 assists a game if his teammates knew how to score. I think they've all gotten used to Tyreke "creating" and have forgotten how to run an offense.
