Yes.

Still weak at best

 

[mac]

At this point in their respective careers, I'd say yes.

For this season I'd still disagree. You switch em around and Ben would be dead trying to carry the zombie Lakers. Kobe still has the ability to create his own offense ... the poor FG% is a result of the ridiculous minutes and attempts he needs to have with this Lakers offense. By next year though I would be a lot more certain that Ben would be the better player as one continues to regress and the other develops more.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Nice spin move by Derrick. Keep going hard to the rack

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Lmao.thats not a charge

 

[VF21]

Especially when The Sheik is involved.

??

 

[sdballer]

Reggie Evans is a rebounding machine. That's good enough to start until Big Cuz returns. The Hollins experiment was nice but Evans is Kings best bet at backup center.

I disagree. Too one dimensional.

 

[206Fan]

We need Ben to defend Kobe...

 

[Spike]

That's a garbage reason, after Omri's start to the season. He lead this team with energy and efficient play off the bench. You don't bench him for a couple games

Well, if this game is any indication, Casspi might be getting his minutes back.

 

[c-webb1s#1]

damn kobe

 

[kingsking]

Ben on the bench Kobe 9 straight

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Oh look now Kobe is scoring. Thanks refs

 

[Spike]

Sigh.

 

[rainmaker]

Soon as Ben goes out, Kobe goes off.

 

[c-webb1s#1]

We need Ben to defend Kobe...

yeah dwill aint gettin it done

 

[VF21]

I'd be tempted to put Omri out there to guard Kobe for a bit.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Well, if this game is any indication, Casspi might be getting his minutes back.

Probably. However, what if Derrick does continue to play more to Malone's liking. Does that mean Casspi suddenly drops completely out of the rotation?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

We need Ben to defend Kobe...

He's locked in, now. At this point, even if we put McLemore back in, it's going to be like Rain Type 17.

 

[kingsking]

Malone can't afford to sit Ben the rest of this quarter. Slide rudy over on Kobe for the 3rd then let Ben have him for the fourth. Please!

 

[Tetsujin]

D-will is not B-Mac.

Someone get a uniform on Doug Christie.

 

[VF21]

Damn it. The minute Rudy got the ball everyone's feet got nailed to the floor.

 

[c-webb1s#1]

damn these refs are some big time Lakers fans!

 

[kingsking]

Sick buzz cut Lin. Fade for dayz

 

[PurpleHaze]

I disagree. Too one dimensional.

You want Hollins to start? Evans is far better rebounder and we need boards with Cuz out. Evans of late has cleaned up some garbage for easy scores, passed back out when lane too congested inside. I still think Reggie's so-called one dimensional play is overall better than Hollins. We just disagree as they say.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Derrick does have a different look on his face. Hopefully he's turned a corner towards some value

 

[Ron]

Probably. However, what if Derrick does continue to play more to Malone's liking. Does that mean Casspi suddenly drops completely out of the rotation?

Could it be an issue between Omri and the coaching staff?
Seems like Casspi is not his cheerful self on the bench (happy for the guys, swinging pistols, etc...).
Perhaps he is not 100% healthy?
(That could get you down as well)

 

[chasen4r1]

I'd like to thank Mr. Swaggy P for making it so my least favorite player in the NBA is still on the Lakers

 

[c-webb1s#1]

lol nik young?

 

[PurpleHaze]

Staples crowd awakens as Kings let Lakers hang around

 

[c-webb1s#1]

DWILL getting burned so hard

 

[Spike]

Time out coach.
