Anyone know when the last time was that we started 2-0 on the road?

2001-2

3-1

 

[Gilles]

Nuggets announcers just said, Kings won two road games to start the season first time since 01/02 season!

 

[Monster]

2001-2

wow.

 

[Prince_XY]

o.75 baby!!!

 

[Spike]

While our Keith Smart baggage showed it's ugly face tonight, Malone's faith in his bench was rewarded tonight and Cuz and Gay didn't seem to mind.

I'll give the benefit of the doubt as it was the 2nd of a back to back here in Denver. It'll be interesting to see how the lineup looks against the same team on Wednesday.

Omri made a mistake but he came back out and played hard. After all the good things he did during the game, I cannot believe the way some of you attacked him. Kings fans are better than that.

I'm going to celebrate this win because there's a lot more going on than just a win. We have a TEAM and it's a TEAM that plays DEFENSE.

I LOVE THIS TEAM and I'm pretty freaking happy with Mike Malone.

back to back road wins? yes please! great win boys...bench was huge tonight, who would of thought. One game its Casspi filling in at the two, tonight Ray filled in at the two.

you know you know you know you know.

great game, darren.

I'll tell you what, Malone coached his butt off today. He reached deep into his bench and they responded with 47 points. He was yanking guys in and out like a mad man down the stretch -- playing musical chairs with Casspi and Thompson -- and everything worked. This "last place" team limped across the finish line with zero margin for error and everybody contributing. Great to see!!

 

[Krunker]

Loved DC's comments at the end how he tries to get everyone involved but will take over when needed

 

[KingMilz]

Darren Collsion was the MVP once again, he kept us in the game when Cuz/Gay were off and he shat on Lawson.

 

[The Hammer]

I told you Malone knew what he was doing.

You and I both.

And it was plainly obvious. This game was going to be a 2-5 point margin no matter who we had in there in the third and early fourth. We weren't going to "put this game away" at that moment. Therefore, he relied on his bench to keep us close against their starters (and play great D) and hold it for our very fresh legged starters (and Ray Mac, who was super fresh) at the end. It actually turned out to be a fairly easy win once our starters were back in.

wait. what? benefit of the doubt to who exactly?

 

[Mad D]

Haven't been 3-1 since 2010 that team had Cousins, Landry, Casspi and Thompson. Difference this time the team is several seasons more experienced.

 

[206Fan]

WOOO!! 3-1!!!

Props to Malone....saved his starters who were clearly fatigued. That only works because the bench produced. AND Malone for the second game, goes outside the box and plugs in a different SG down the stretch in Ray. Ray can play. Got to get him minutes. He's a physical guard...love it.

 

[The Hammer]

wait. what? benefit of the doubt to who exactly?

Yeah. And where is the doubt? Why is there any doubt to give the benefit of?

 

[Spike]

Ray Mccallum again showing that he deserves more minutes. If only he were a little taller; we'd have a SG.

Well said. Malone is no Keith Smart obviously. Is he much, much more - we shall see. I just hope he keeps them hungry for more - and more is taking down Nuggets again in 48 hours.

 

[Glenn]

One thing we have this year that we didn't have the last few years are veterans. I think that makes a difference even if they are sitting on the bench.

 

[206Fan]

Tonight was really a team effort. Everyone contributed in our win! I'll take 21asts all day!!! No one played over 30 minutes..WOW!!! Our bench was great!!! Sessions and Landry combined for 27pts!! WOW!!! When was the last time this team didn't have Cousins or Gay on the floor, and actually played good?? 3-1!!!

 

[Spike]

wait. what? benefit of the doubt to who exactly?

Malone. He rode the bench, went small, and it paid off.

 

[SacKings384]

Defense defense defense defense. And the ball movement is much improved. Still need to work on the turnovers but it's good to see the guys out there moving.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

I really had the Kings starting the season 1-9 maybe 2-8 at best with this brutal 10 game stretch to start the season. This is just amazing right now

 

[KingMilz]

Big shout out to Landry, dude needs to stop taking jumpers, he's a master craftsmen in the paint just a machine around the rim so crafty and skilled.
