[Game] Game 33: Sacramento Kings @ Minnesota Timberwolves - 1/1/15 4:30 pst 7:30 est

[Dreadnought]

Wiggins looks great. First time seeing him, really impressed so far.

 

[VF21]

Come on Kings. At least keep some kind of lead until Boogie comes back in.

 

[rainmaker]

We're 16-22 and only up 6.

C'mon now. Defend!

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Wiggins looks great. First time seeing him, really impressed so far.

Looking much improved from Summer League.

 

[VF21]

D-Will can't guard Wiggins much of anybody at all.

Returned the favor.

 

[origkds]

What we are seeing at the moment in lack of leadership from the coaching position. It's also a lack of buy in from players to the current mantra. I highly doubt we are practicing any defence in our practices and I would guarantee that we did a lot of that with Malone. What they learnt under Malone's leadership is not something that sticks around without an intensive focus in practices on it.

Speculation and more excuses.

 

[HndsmCelt]

I really like the pace the Kings are playing at tonight. And gee see how much fun it is when defense leads to fast breaks!

 

[BenThePizzaGuy]

McLemore needs to take more shots. He's solid and off to another solid game 3-3 from the field

 

[VF21]

Can't fault the effort of the Kings tonight. This game is watchable...and after the last few, that's saying something.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

T'Wolves playing kindergarten defense on Cuz.

 

[rainmaker]

Anyone else not liking that once again DWill appears more fired up to play Minn than he is against any other team?

I get it, his previous team, wants to prove them wrong. But where the hell is this effort the other 78 games?

He scares the crap out of them. They don't want to be the next Marcus Smart.

I'm looking at it from the other side. I'm liking that he's fired up. I know we saw it for a few games when Cousins was out. I just want them to get him fired up for all our games...and he's showing he has the skillset he was projected to have. Jut need to make him accountable. If he doesn't produce, he doesn't play. Corbin make have some method in the madness.

 

[kingsking]

I would enjoy seeing Ben get rewarded by the refs for taking the ball strong to the hole. Wigs was trailing and fouled the crap out of him, then goes down to the other end, barely gets touched and its a foul. Canadien

Yeah, we just go through this every time we play Minn, then he does back to his normal self by the next game.

Much like Outlaw against Portland.

Herenda has the most sporty newsman voice you could possibly have.

You know, I never really thought of this but the guy may have something here:

What I find funny with Cousins is sometimes he gets mad that the wrong ref made the call I mean I do too but its funny to see a player do it

I can think of several occurrences when the ref furthest away made the call while the guy right there did nothing.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Yeaa JT! Haha.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Wow on the no foul call. JT bulldozed Young. Unbelievable.

 

[VF21]

Herenda has the most sporty newsman voice you could possibly have.

He can't touch Bob Uecher.

 

[Larry89]

wow that call was awful

 

[kingsking]

Way to have Rudy shoot the tech

 

[BenThePizzaGuy]

What a terrible call!

 

[Kingster]

The No D Kings just keep on keeping on. They'll let any team in the league stay with them.

 

[VF21]

You know, the bad part of me kinda loves it when the other team gets jobbed by the officials. Kinda like cosmic retribution.

 

[VF21]

I am enjoying the frustration and agony of the home crowd way more than I should. This probably is not a good sign.

 

[rainmaker]

Flip always looks like his shirt collar is cutting off the blood flow to his head.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

There is not enough cosmos to complete the retribution we are due.

 

[kingsking]

The difference is that Flip gets pissed and his guys fired up. If there is any controversy our way, Corbin claps and smacks someone on the butt
