[Game] Kings @ Spurs - 3/8/17 - 5:30PT/8:30ET

[VF21]

Not looking forward to this game in the least. If we're lucky, Pop may decide to rest all his starters...

Things to watch for:
1. Communication
2. Spacing
3. Concentration

We aren't going to win. But hopefully we will learn some more valuable lessons for the kids. Communication is obvious. They need to talk to each other out there. Spacing has improved. When I say "concentration" I'm talking about focus, especially at the FT line.

I had a dream Buddy turned into some kind of D-wade type player and that they brought back $1 beer nights so fans could drink their pains away and forget the ghosts of our franchises past.

Wow. Bringing back $1 beer night... that's some dream.

 

[SLAB]

Positive: We may get to see PapaG!

Negative: The Spurs are too good. I shudder to think what Kawhi will do to poor Buddy when he puts the ball on the floor.

I'll be here though! Hopefully I'm less sick than I've been the past few days

If you do get better, the Kings will be sure to bring you back to nausea in no time!

 

[ParniValjak]

6th loss in a row coming up!

 

[Suicide King]

A win would not surprise me. CLE, GS , BOS , TOR (x2)...
The Spurs are next on the hit list.

However should we falter , hopefully we give them hell trying.

 

[jcwkings]

Khawai is a monster, second best player in the world and the MVP this year.

1 dollar beer night was a thing?

 

[Suicide King]

@Ron I know, I wanted to be different and feign positvity. I try and keep my morose feelings to myself if I can...

Yet you call yourself Suicide King. You are not working hard at hiding.

Khawai is a monster, second best player in the world and the MVP this year.

How can the 2nd best player be the most valuable player?

It was a very long time ago.

I put him behind Lebron in the grand scheme in terms of we know Lebron delivers when it matters and until someone claims his throne he is the defacto #1. I put Khawai above Curry, Durant, Westbrook, Harden though and he has been the best player in the league this season imo with Harden right behind him. Lebron is at the level where he is a top 3 MVP guy every year, but I doubt he gets it this year over Khawai or Harden. Westbrook is great but history says a guy on a 7th seeded team cant win MVP.

Not saying you're wrong, as such; just saying there's precedent.

 

[King Baller]

The Kings need to bring back Jimmer to overcome Kawhi:

Oh wait that was before.....like.....they came to the NBA

 

[Larry89]

It was a very long time ago.

Have I gotten that old that fast already?

 

[Ron]

6th loss in a row coming up!

Highly probable...
Right now we tied our season's longest losing streak of 5.

We stand a great chance of setting a new record of a 6- and then 7-game L-streak,
as our next opponents are the hot Wizards
(in G1C)

Pop's Spurs on the road...
with the current roster...
Seems like a no-brainer prediction.

Except...

We're the #Kangz !

[dude12]

Keep that losing streak intact.

 

[Suicide King]

With no LMA or Kawhi tonight my earlier statement gains traction. I assumed Pop would rest a player or two, did not expect those two however.

I expect the team might play with an extra edge for prides sake. Or rather I hope they do.

 

[k_dubb90]

When's the last time we actually beat the spurs?

I believe When Cousins and Malone were still here

LMAO. On the bench maybe.

Don't be silly. Papagiannis would ruin Joeger's hope of a W, even though we lose anyways.

 

[VF21]

In case you missed it, the CBS Injury report shows both Lamarcus Aldridge and Kawhi Leonard out for tonight's game on scheduled rest.

Officials for tonight's game:

Sacramento @ San Antonio John Goble (#30) Mitchell Ervin (#27) Kane Fitzgerald (#5)

Joerger should go tit-for-tat and rest Afflalo and Tolliver, then!
