[Game] Kings v. Hornets - 2/25/17 - 2:00PT/5:00ET

Wish Boogie was here to absolutely destroy Kaminsky trying to guard him

 

[SLAB]

The prediction machine predicting we'd score 30 the rest of the game was awfully kind of it.

 

[Kingz19]

Didn't we have a guy who could rebound?

 

[Tetsujin]

Marco is running circles around Buddy.

 

[SLAB]

Instead he's up 20+ draining wide open threes with a giant grin on his face.

[TaxMan]

Papa! Papa! Papa!

 

[Tetsujin]

Buddy is supposed to be a shooter, right?

 

[Glenn]

Didn't we have a guy who could rebound?

In a draft with a whole bunch of skilled guys at the top, we decided to get rid of our only strength. That's called a tank.

 

[SLAB]

Buddy is supposed to be a shooter, right?

I don't know if you heard, but he is basically Steph Curry.

 

[glassman]

wow the defense on frank ... wow ....

btw did Skal only play the last one min or so of that quarter?????????????

 

[N0tmyfault]

Willie just got outworked for a board. WTF. FIGHT for that damn ball. A bunch of push-overs.

 

[206Fan]

Willie has fallen back to earth. On the bright side, we can keep our pick.

 

[VF21]

Then he shouldnt be out there hurting the team, no excuses for lack of effort IMO.

Yeah, it's all WCS's fault.

I'm sorry, but I think some people around here - and I'm speaking in general terms - are way too quick to try to find ONE scapegoat for what's happening on the court. What's hapening is the team is w/o the superstar who carried most of the load. They are learning to play without him on the fly, and it's gonna take a while. To dump on WCS or Ben or anybody else at this point is just silly IMHO.

Where you a Kings fan before the golden years? You saw this kind of stuff all the time, but worse. Players didn't even try. They looked like guys serving detention and having to play basketball instead of having to sit in the library. At least these kids try. They just aren't gonna compete successfully with established teams right now.

Time to lock up those overreaction optimism threads that popped up after the Nuggets game?

This is the team, folks. Onward to the draft. Maybe with a little luck we can get a prospect who, in 3-5 years time, will develop into half the player Cuz is!

Fingers crossed.

 

[Tetsujin]

Kings looking considerably worse when not playing the worst defense in the league

 

[VF21]

Marco is running circles around Buddy.

That's the hardest for me to watch. I detest Marco Bellinelli...

 

[k_dubb90]

Welp good thing boogie is playing tonight. Don't gotta ruin my night with this crap

I will be watching Get Out tonight as well

Trade away your already superstar for the chance to maybe pick a guy who could be even half as impactful. Hated the thought of it, hated it when it happened, still hate it now.

Hornets are a good defensive team. Really, their only weakness on D is when they have to face big burly centers who can take them down low and pop out for the three....

 

[Tetsujin]

Buddy is getting murdered by Marco every. possession.

 

[Kingz19]

Papa G time, Dave.

The rest of the season is going to be an emotional roller coaster. I can't speak for anyone else, but I know myself well enough to know I'll be super happy when the Kings win and play well and I'll try desperately not to get too depressed when they play like who they really are. Now more than ever, being a Kings fan is not for the faint of heart.

Funny to listen to Grant trying to make excuses, however.

Too bad we don't have one of those.

 

[SLAB]

I just want Skal to shoot the ball every time down the court. He's the only guy I'm really excited about. For every great WCS game, he has these duds. Not that I think he'll be a bust, he's just never going to be a star.

 

[VF21]

Papa G time, Dave.

He played yesterday for the Bighorns. I could be wrong, but I don't think he's available today for the Kings.

 

[TaxMan]

Skal will be a very good rebounder once he adds some heft. He really attacks the boards and has the length needed.

 

[glassman]

Buddy getting killed on defense...

WCS STAY THE FRACK ON FRANK!!!!

 

[Kingz19]

Is Afflalo injured or doghouse?

 

[Tetsujin]

I don't want to seem like I'm out for Buddy's head or something but Marco is absolutely destroying him tonight. Like it's not even fair.

 

[k_dubb90]

Shallow Hal is on vh1 if anybody is interested lol

 

[SLAB]

Buddy getting killed on defense...

WCS STAY THE FRACK ON FRANK!!!!

By Marco Bellineli. That is not a good omen.

 

[Kingsfan23]

I love my Kings fans but the cowbells and the word 'kangs'..

This may be a long rebuild.....

WCS, that motor, we need to get to be a consistent positive. He has showed the skills. Skills need to override motor, and I think they will

Confident in most the rest of our young players.

Koufos and the bunnies.. Collison not upping his game to focal leader..

At least I'm less fearful of losing that pick
