[Game] Kings v. LA Kobes - 1/7/16, 7:30 PT, 10:30 ET

[Tetsujin]

I hope this finally puts a stop on all those trade Cousins posts. He had a near triple double with 29 points shooting 8 of 12, 10 rebounds and 7 assists. Up one gets the lose ball, gets fouled, rolls his ankle and still comes up HUGE by hitting both free throwes to get us a 3 point leave with 7 seconds on the clock. I'm proud of our franchise player!

But, I mean, he'll never be as classy as Kobe. #KobeIsAClassAct

So, how long is Cuz going to be out. smh.

 

[VF21]

Respect greatness.

It was heartfelt to see the Black Mamba shaking hands and hugging with Peja and Vlade. Great moment.

How long have you been a Kings fan? Seriously...

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Don't Take pride in this win. We didn't deserve a W. It was an embarrassment

I ain't takin' no pride, but I'll take the win, anyway.

To paraphrase the late, great American philosopher Levi Stubbs, I ain't too proud to beg for a win.

 

[andjel]

last game and this game - Karma equlizer

relax the next game, let Cus heal with almost a week of vacation and then must wins against NO and Utah

Gutty performance with five fouls by DeMarcus Cousins. Leading by example on the court in three straight games.

Well over 10 years

Still got my 2001 Webber jersey from when I was a kid... Still wear it today because it was oversized back then

[dude12]

We need Casspi and WCS back.....but I'd still like Acy to get some minutes

 

[andjel]

Kings - Cuz = Lakers

 

[jcwkings]

Really weird game, essentially played close to three quarters of solid ball and then we let two kids have out of body experiences, thankfully we did enough to get the win. I say just turn the page, just a really weird game where a terrible team decided to play the quarter of their lives on national tv.

Disagree. Wins are hard to come by. The only objective pre-game is to win the game. If the task is accomplished, well done. Coaches can't think that way but fans can.

 

[Im Still Ballin]

Cousins just moving so much better of recent. Ran the fastbreak. Hopefully the ankle isn't too bad, want to see him embrace the movement and speed in his game. Had some great post moves tonight.

 

[Henkel]

Hard to trust this team. Vlade finding a way to get a defensive wing in here before the deadline would help that.

 

[upinsmoke]

Thank goodness!

I think pigs are flying and there is frost on the ground. Bruski said something good about Boogie.

Didn't know he was one of those. I have obviously been missing a chance to snark somebody else.

Absolutely. The Kings hopefully learned something this game.

 

[enigma99a]

Not at all, I despise when people say its game over before it's over

You despise people who say their team is going to win? What fun is that

 

[lwc]

He may very well speak highly of Boogie but I seem to remember him making the case to make the Kings IT's team and ship Boogie out. I could be wrong though.

 

[White_Chocolate]

I think it might be time to fiddle around with trade possibilities with our current guards. I really would not mind seeing Collison or McLemore go to be replaced by a saavy veteran gaurd (Nelson type player). KMart might even be a nice option. We also could really use a shutdown wing player because we simply do not have one. Nonetheless very happy to pull out the win in what would have been a truly devastating loss.

Fights breaking out in the parking lot. Be careful.

DC had a lot to do with the lakers coming back. Seth also, that last quarter made me sick to my stomach.
I can't even trust collison with the ball in his hands anymore
Nonetheless good job by our starting 5, rondo and boogie saved that game from total disaster

Thats exactly what I was thinking. Other teams are killing us one the spread pick and roll. Some of this in on the coaching stuff and some on our players. But a wing who could defend the opponents best player (like Tony Snell) might would have made a big difference during LAs big run

Ten whole years, huh?

It's cool: we need everybody. All aboard!

 

[King Baller]

Just win

Actually, Bruski has been pro-DMC for a while now.

No

10+ years

Probably around 16 or 17 roughly

DC and Seth/butler for Kmart sounds pretty good
