[Game] Game 4: Sacramento Kings @ Denver Nuggets, 11/03/14 6PM PST, 9 PM EST

Ray Mac has some huge calves, like the Chuck Hayes of PG's, except Ray Mac is in great shape. Afflalo couldnt back him down, mighty impressive.

 

[The Hammer]

I don't have any quotes, but the gist of it was that she thought the team played good defense, and that the only reason that Denver broke 100 is because of the refs.

Cool thanks. I'm tuned in online right now. First time I've ever heard her talk at length as an analyst. She's fantastic.

 

[flamecrow]

wait guys, what does DFC mean now?
DeMarcus Freakin' Cousins or Darren Freakin' Collison??

 

[The Hammer]

I'll post again. This is great coverage for any non locals:

[Chubbs]

It's just an enormous benefit to the team to have a veteran PG who understands the flow of a basketball game and also is able to force turnovers and play team defense. This has badly been missing.

6'3 Ray Mac is no 6'2 Jimmer Fredette - of course Ray can play SG or combo guard or whatever you want to call it.

Not sure why you think McCallum is 6'3", and I'm not sure why you think he is taller than Fredette.

McCallum: 6'0.25" w/o shoes // 6'1.75" w/ shoes
Fredette: 6'0.75" w/o shoes // 6'2.5" w/ shoes

Boogie was here first, so he keeps these three letters.

McCallum: 6'0.25" w/o shoes // 6'1.75" w/ shoes
Fredette: 6'0.75" w/o shoes // 6'2.5" w/ shoes

What are their comparative wingspans?

EDIT 2:

So, Jimmer has a larger wingspan, but Ray has a far superior vertical. They also measured the same standing reach.

Katie ripping IT (in a classy way) for not being committed to D. Just coming right out and saying it. "It didn't matter to him."

Folks there was zero chance he was going to stay with us. Sorry to keep harping on it.

Understandable. You are excused.

And we actually like it.

I've been saying it for years: the quality of the broadcast is going to improve exponentially the day they give Jerry his gold watch, and put Kayte on color.

Landry has always been one of my favorite players going back to his days at Purdue and later as toughest of the tough with the Rockets. Ask Dirk Nowitski's teeth, chunks of them probably still embedded somewhere in Carl's anatomy.

I know its not in the celebratory spirit of the evening, but frankly the more I see of Landry the more I think he may be done as the Carl Landry of old. He can still waddle in there to score, still has the skill. But his explosion seems gone. I've begun to seriously wonder if we're stuck with damaged goods.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

As a young fan, this is my first taste of Kings winning basketball of my memory. I like it.

 

[Prince_XY]

Why are you trying to bait an IT arguement? Im loving Collison and was a proponent of going after him even before IT gate. IT would be nice off the bench, but that neither here nor there, lets enjoy what we are watching and hope it lasts.

Finally!

Kumbayaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Anyone got a grade for Joey Crawford?

Violet Palmer?

Rather remarkable, but inevitable given how long they have been out in the wilderness. Congrats to you for becoming a fan during the long tough years in the first place. Good things come to those who wait.

McCallum: 6'0.25" w/o shoes // 6'1.75" w/ shoes
Fredette: 6'0.75" w/o shoes // 6'2.5" w/ shoes

Maybe because the Kings website has him listed at 6'3 here http://www.nba.com/kings/roster and ESPN has him listed at 6'3 here http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/2528447/ray-mccallum


A lot of players grow from college and their rookie year. Those measurements you have are old.

It's actually his rear end that does the "heavy lifting". His build and explosiveness actually reminds me of B-Jax

Yeah Landry lacks the explosiveness from before...But I wonder how much of this is him being out of shape from his hip injury and of course age catching up with him. He was quite chunky when he tried to come back last year....he looks in better shape now, but still not quite like what I remember him.

Draft Express isn't always right. Too add along to that, young players still grow.

The last time @SacramentoKings won 1st 2 road games to open a season was 2001-02 with wins at Denver (11/3) & Cleveland (11/6/01).

So...we're going to win 60 this year!!?

WOOT!!!

If Kayte was willing to admit it....fans should too lol.

I think he'll have some games where he bullies his way to the basket but unless he regains some mobility, he may not get back to what he was. One rebound tonight. Total.

 

[The Hammer]

I wonder if they could talk him into doing a gradual transition to Kayte so he's giving her his endorsement publicly.

Not sure how well she'd mesh with Grant though. Yikes.

WOOT!!!

correction....61 wins

 

[Bricklayer]

Bobby just said that DMC told Malone to leave the bench out there a little longer to build their confidence. That tells me he has faith in his bench AND he has faith in the ability of the starters to get the job done. I'm about ready to start up a collection for the huge statue of DFC that WILL end up outside the new arena.

Damn, I LOVE THIS TEAM!

Big thing for DeMarcus to be the source of that. I remember Reke doing the same thing a few times and thought it was a sign of a real focus on team. Its Boogie taking ownership and responsibility for this team, and being a partner for Malone in trying to make them win.
