[Game] Game 77: Kings v. Timberwolves, 4/7/15 - 7pdt, 10edt

[Tetsujin]

Minny just wants it more. The first pick that is.

I dunno, at least they're playing their two best players.

Our superstar is out and our second option is recovering from a brain injury.

 

[VF21]

Well, the Coke Machine impressed Kenny Smith.

 

[Tetsujin]

Derrick Williams is like a less-good-at-defense version of Donte Greene...


That's not a compliment.

Derrick Williams has TRIPLED his rebounding output from last game in roughly HALF the amount of mins! #CokeMachine!!

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I suppose that might be logical, if you consider your initial premise - that I'm actually paying much attention to the game - not to be fatally flawed.

Touché.

So, he still has zero, then?

Apparently Fippin's strong suit isn't math.

 

[chief bromden]

Stauskas, just shoot that 3 so we can get a 2 for 1. Don't be so timid.

Random observation: I still think those shirt-sleeved jerseys (especially in combination with the leggings) look like 1890's bathing costumes.

Let's just hope they don't ever put the Wizards in those.

From a close friend at the game:

My seat was upgraded tonight and I'm sitting right behind a couple of TWolves executives. They're totally blown away by the "Sauce Castillo" nickname and cannot figure out how he got it.

In other news, she's going to try and finagle a trade between us and the Wolves. We'll give them back DWill, for whom a number of fans on Canis Hoopus now have an interest, for Kevin Martin. (She's not going to mention DWill's new nickname.)

 

[VF21]

Thank you! I couldn't find a picture.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Wizards third-string point guard.

Andre Miller?

Bad movie parties are one of my favorite things in life. I'm sure lots of people do them but I got the inspiration from Mystery Science Theater 3000.

MST3K mention = auto-rec!

Well, Kenny Smith was definitely the highlight of the first half... unsure why Corliss didn't mention his impact.

In all seriousness, all this "...the Kings took care of this, and that..." as the reasons for why they are winning without stating the obvious fact that the opponent is a 16 win team playing their backups is pretty entertaining.

 

[Tetsujin]

Ben McLemore with another crapty crapty three pointer.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Per G-Man, we're out of Sauce tonight.

Nik Stauskas (mild back strain) will not return.

 

[chief bromden]

I wonder if Kevin Martin enjoys playing on lottery teams.

 

[Tetsujin]

How much do we need to be up by to see a token Sim appearance?

Yeah, I took it off mute so I could hear Kayte's half-time interview, and hearing Corliss talking about what a great rebounding team Minnesota is with a straight face, when Pekovic and Dieng are both out, left me looking like

Once we get to 150, he's in.

 

[VF21]

Good to see Casspi having a great night. I'm guessing he's already earned himself a slot on the team next year. A role player who knows his role and is willing to put forth effort every single night is always worth having.
