The basketball net at the north end of the court has been ejected.

Awww one turnover away from 30

 

[gunks]

Why not? I don't think he can cost us 11 points in 21.5 seconds.

OMG! Don't jinx! Whoever he's defending could go all T-Mac on us!

 

[KingsCitizen]

Yay! The winning streak is safe.

The Kings are 9-8 after a 1-7 start to the season.

 

[VF21]

LOL @ Kayte literally TOWERING over Collison as she interviews him post-game.

 

[itzcoatl]

Vs. Houston, 1st time in Sacramento-era history the Kings won a game despite turning the ball over 29 times. 34 is the single-game record.

 

[kingsboi]

so now the question is can they take this winning streak and get some road wins? that's where the team really needs to come together

Again, pretty amazing all things considering. Man, if we just did a little better in the early season...

Figured this wouldn't take long:

This game is precisely why Darren Collison is NOT expendable.

With a few boneheaded losses thrown in there as well(Charlotte, OKC), a Mexico City stinker and not to mention the games Cuz missed. If Cuz is healthy all season and we don't play dumb we could easily be 5-7 wins better.

I was just about to post something of the same nature.

9-6 with cuz playing entire games. 3 of those 6 he was obviously still hurting

This game is precisely why Darren Collison is NOT expendable.

This game is also precisely why we brought Rajon Rondo here also. As good as Darren was in certain aspects he really had no control of the game.

That and rondos 1 year contract lol. But that doesn't mean they play good together Karl.

We will (hopefully) play less dumb as the season goes on. Players are starting to get more comfortable with each other and the offense. Barring a major injury, we should be right in the chase for the 8 spot.

 

[DeMoN]

When the hell did Rudy decide to turn into a defensive juggernaut?? What the hell?!?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

LOL @ Kayte literally TOWERING over Collison as she interviews him post-game.

The funny thing is, if she were wearing flats, she'd still be towering over him.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

The only real problem with Collison is when Karl insists on playing him and Rondo at the same time.

 

[jcwkings]

Casspi is playing spectacular ball right now. At the level he is in right now he could start for a lot of NBA teams. I don't see him losing the starting job when WCS comes back either, he has found great chemistry with the starters. It will be much easier to just bring WCS off the bench and let him be a defensive X factor bringing energy.

 

[Sac.Kings]

This game is precisely why Darren Collison is NOT expendable.

He played well in certain aspects today and was a big part of our win, but 29 turnovers as a team? The difference between Collison and Rondo is in control of the game. Collison just doesn't have that aspect. I would say he would be great as our 6th man, but can he be (long term) when he and Rondo do not mesh well on the court? That's for another thread though!

A win is a win and I will always take a win!

I wish she would tower over me. You know what I'm sayin huh huh huh hahaha

If only DMC wasn't injured early in the season....

I don't dispute this. Rondo is a superior game manager. By no means am I calling for Collison to take over the reigns. But Darren is a proven guy who has shown over his career that he can get a team through injuries to the number 1 and be a valuable player off the bench. Depth is a good thing.

Don't look now, but we're only a game out of eighth.

Except Koufos/WCS = NO spacing at all.

But still, whatever wins. The point is to get back in the playoff hunt right now, not try to win a title overnight.

Keep it clean, son.
