[Game] Kings v. Pacers 1/24/14, 7pm PST, 10pm EST

[Tetsujin]

IT doesn't even need to shoot to ruin the game for us.

Heroball manifests itself in many different forms

 

[HndsmCelt]

Well the end sucks, but the guys played hard and earned respect out there!

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Isaiah Thomas with a shot chart that Toronto Rudy Gay would be proud of

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

After IT and MT the Kings high scorer is Derrick Williams with 7, but if you want to blame IT go right ahead.

Why does it seem like every time we play a really good team at home and go to OT, we lose?

Wait unless we beat the Heat in OT...nevermind

 

[Mad D]

Well I was at least expecting a forced jump shot that comes up short

 

[Sluggah]

hey, at least they made this an extremely interesting game. we all knew this was going to be ugly and end poorly before tip off. but it was immensely entertaining, so props to the team.

 

[enigma99a]

It would help if we had Paul George

And someone stupid enough to foul us

 

[DesertFox]

Its a superstars game, and the kings didn't have theirs

 

[Tetsujin]

Why does it seem like every time we play a really good team at home and go to OT, we lose?

Because the other team is really, really good?

Losing to the Pacers is nothing to be ashamed of

 

[SacKings2002NBAChampions]

LMFAO @ that play

Either worst coach ever or….

 

[VF21]

Why does it seem like every time we play a really good team at home and go to OT, we lose?

Because we're not a very good team?

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Thomas finally let someone else touch the ball in OT, too bad it happened to be Paul George

 

[SacKings2002NBAChampions]

Has anyone else noticed that Malone has NEVER made a good play down the stretch. Do they not practice these situations during practice? Like damn…not that hard.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Really? That was the play of the game?

 

[randymoss1881]

Did anyone take a shot in OT besides IT? I don't remember, I just keep seeing the ball inbounded to IT and he shoots

 

[TyFreak Evans]

I officially feel like I drained my phone's battery, and used up a good chunk of my data plan, for this game for no legitimate reason...

 

[Tetsujin]

Has anyone else noticed that Malone has NEVER made a good play down the stretch. Do they not practice these situations during practice? Like damn…not that hard.

Ah yes, I was waiting for the "Malone sux" bandwagon to start rolling

 

[MissingThoseAdelmanDays]

Paul George is a great player.

I am disappointed in Isaiah Thomas. I don't care if he scores 50. At the end of the day, his style of play is not what you want from your starting point guard. He is talented, no doubt. Unfortunately, he's selfish and extremely thirsty.

 

[randymoss1881]

Like IT won't ignore it and shoot a 3.

 

[enigma99a]

Not just the Kings, NBA history favors OT wins by the away team

Partly it's that we just aren't in those in-game situations very frequently and have a bunch of players that lack big game experience.

 

[The_Jamal]

Gotta love all the bashing for the guy who drops 38, despite being the only guy who can create on the floor the entire game, against the best D in the NBA.

Oh btw, everyone else not named IT and MT? 10-43 shooting.

Heroic effort from the guys on the floor tonight. Took a sketchy 4 point play to even get it to OT. We just had too many guys in situations they were not used to at the end of the game and it showed.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Heck of an effort by the depleted Kings. But great players make great plays and superstars make them routinely on both ends in crunch time. Still, maybe tonight we would have won if we'd had our two top players.

 

[theclash4u5]

Because we're not a very good team?

You don't say!

 

[Heuge]

Great game by the Kings.

Problem is, when it gets crazy Isaiah becomes a ball hog. Hopefully this will be a teachable moment for him.

Pleased by effort.

 

[DesertFox]

IT has the game to be an all star. His numbers look like it too. But as long as he is a pg games like tonight show why im not convinced hes worth the trouble.

 

[kingnunz]

Wow the negative IT comments on here crack me up... glad all you don't make kings basketball decision.

 

[KingMilz]

First loss I'm not even mad at, they gave it there al, IT went way to tunnel vision near the end and the Williams call was bogus and we needed more out of D-Will in terms of scoring.

 

[fanop]

D-Will is the most pathetic crap on this roster. Misses huge fts, stupid foul, stupid play, and a horrible game. IT couldn't give us the game winning shot, but he was great tonight. I had doubts about him being our starting pg, but I don't anymore. D-Will is so disappointing. I was such a huge supporter.. you blew it D-Will.

 

[SacKings2002NBAChampions]

At the end of quarter situations as well…
It's the coaches fault

LOLLLLLLLL

I'm by no means an IT fan, but who is he going to pass to? Gray? D-will? Only MT and IT had their games going and they are just too thin. Hopefully Gay and DMC are resting for a speedy recovery
