I really wish Grant would also mention every single obvious foul other teams committed on DMC.

"CLEARLY a foul on DMC! He doesn't like it but he clearly fouled him with his forearm!"

Thx, Grant.

the mute button is your best asset other than the power off button

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

MT on pace for the wrong kind of triple-double.

 

[kingjatt]

Getting the ball in rythm when you can anticipate shooting it vs never knowing when the ball may end up in your hands makes a huge difference. And we all know that shooting is all about rythm. Our guys aren't as bad a shooters as they have displayed, if given the ball in rythm they can all hit threes just fine.

 

[kingsboi]

This game is insane. And probably not in the good way.

it's a clown show

 

[funkykingston]

Even if they dont win at least this type of energetic ball is watchable.

Honestly, it isn't the losing that bothers me the most. It's watching uninspired, lazy ball.

That's what we watched in the first half and second quarter specifically. And I don't want to watch it.

But fight and scrap for 48 minutes and I'll watch, win or lose.

But if they played like they have this second half all the time and the Kings would be a playoff team

I think that's what Vlade envisioned when he signed Barnes, Afflalo, Tolliver and Temple - a gritty team around Cousins that would defend and hustle. It helps a ton that the Lakers don't have anyone who can remotely guard Cousins but where has this team effort been most of the season?

 

[jcwkings]

Temple is quietly near 40 percent on threes for the year. 3 and D, really no reason why he shouldnt start from here on out.

I really don't know how I don't mute him. I despise everything about Grant.

 

[dude12]

What the hell with these touch fouls?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

And we have quietly taken the lead in rebounds.

 

[funkykingston]

Still giving up easy offensive rebounds though.

 

[SLAB]

Rudy should probably take a few more games off.

Make sure that hip is nice and healthy.

I'm sure 99% of Sacramento shares your hate

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

What the hell with these touch fouls?

It's called lazy defense.

 

[Tetsujin]

After sucking the first couple of weeks, Ty Lawson has been a really really solid point guard off the bench. Honestly wouldn't mind keeping him around at this point.

 

[kingsboi]

Rudy should probably take a few more games off.

Make sure that hip is nice and healthy.

Gotta keep that hip stretched properly for the new team that will acquire his services, ideally within the next week or two.

 

[dude12]

Wow I'm sorry again with the coach sucking...

Temple needs to be starting .....guarding the opponents best player from the start of the game. Might be nice to fixing the slow starts... oh and he's better than everyone else that played SG.... so I dunno coach???!!!

My guess is he will go back to Affalo cause Dave is a douche

Wow....try to enjoy the win.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Maybe Kings saw Utah Jazz formula and said, bingo! Injury decimated, who cares, no problem.

 

[Tetsujin]

Rudy should probably take a few more games off.

Make sure that hip is nice and healthy.

Maybe take a nice long vacation to rest up. A several month sabbatical or something.

Comic-Con night

 

[Tetsujin]

The Memphis Grizzlies patented strategy of playing good after all your players are maimed.

 

[funkykingston]

Kings shooting 57.9% from the field and 57.1% from the FT line.

 

[SLAB]

It makes me smile Ron's still in the league.

Mostly it involves playing defense, playing with effort, hitting open shots and taking care of the ball. It's not rocket surgery.

 

[Tetsujin]

Considering he's had ample opportunity to get himself kicked out of the NBA, Ron Artest still being in the league is a minor miracle.

 

[kingsboi]

It makes me smile Ron's still in the league.

Probably my second favorite player to put on a Kings uniform

 

[Suicide King]

Cousins with the Nixon deuces

 

[sactownfan]

Wow....try to enjoy the win.

Lakers are on a 7 game losing streak. They are who we thought they were minus a few hustle wins to start the season... their not a good team.... yet

There's nothing really to enjoy about this season so far

beating Dal / LAL and losing to everyone else isn't anything too celebrate

 

[Larry89]

Ron was an absolute force his first year here on the Kings much respect

 

[kingsboi]

Yet in Sacramento, there aren't enough astronauts.

Enjoy the wins when they happen.

There will many many many other nights to complain.
