[Game] Kings v. Wizards - 3/10/17 - 7:30PT/10:30ET

[VF21]

Welcome back! Sorry we were gone. I don't know about anyone else, but I went through some mild withdrawals.

Back to the topic at hand:
Kings entertain the Wizards tonight at G1C. I picture Merlin and King Arthur. Or Gargamel and Burger King.

No idea what's gonna happen. As long as I see heart, hustle, energy and effort I'm gonna just sit back and enjoy the game.

#GoKings

1. I missed the site yesterday. Hope it's not the first of many days like that. If we shut Westbrook down can we win this game? They can only play 5 guys at a time just like us. Go Kings!

We're playing the Wizards, not the thunder.

 

[Telemachus]

We're playing the Wizards, not the thunder.

That should make it easier to shut down Westbrook.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

We're playing the Wizards, not the thunder.

You could have just said, "No."

 

[dude12]

Play hard, don't complain to refs and don't be afraid to keep the losing streak intact.

Is Malachi coming back this year?

Here is where the Joerger's easy the players in theory doesn't hold water for me, why is Afflalo playing instead of Ben so we know definitely what we have, and why isn't Papa playing

It's still a rough nosed coach worrying about meaningless, harmful even, wins over development IMO

We will need to make a decision on Afflalo. We need to determine if he is worth $12.5 mil which is what his contract will be next year unless we buy him out for $2 mil.There is almost nothing more to be learned about Ben.

 

[Larry89]

Remember that absolutely atrocious game we played against the Wizards in Washington earlier this year where it looked like everyone was on ketamine? They're now 3rd in the Eastern Conference and not the team everyone thought they would be.

 

[King Baller]

I'm with VF21. As long as I see the players working hard to defend and run their offense I will enjoy just watching the Kings play basketball.

 

[VF21]

Is Malachi coming back this year?

According to the latest injury report, Malachi is expected to be out until at least March 15.

 

[VF21]

Tonight's officials: Mike Callahan (#24) David Guthrie (#16) Tre Maddox (#73)

I might actually catch the 2nd half of this one.

So I'm hoping to see Skal, Buddy, and effort. A win would be fun, but I'm not expecting it.

I've been giving Joerger the benefit of the doubt, he's a good coach, but I wanna see what the kids can do when thrown to the wolves. They can't be worse than our vets.

I agree with your sentiment but, believe me, the rooks can be and usually are worse than the vets, but I agree is fun and nteresting to see them play.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Interesting? You mean, like in the Chinese curse sense of the word?

You are tempting fate with that sentence

 

[Ron]

We're playing the Wizards, not the thunder.

In that case we better shut down that Potter kid, too.

[kingsboi]

always my favorite matchup of the season, Beal and Wall are fun to watch...I want to see plenty of Skal...don't know what Cauley Stein will show up

 

[ockingsfan]

Since the Kings like signing players that torched us in the past, hopefully Otto Porter lights us up for 40pts tonight!

Then maybe Vlade will throw a Max contract at him this summer!

The most disappointing King post Cousins is Darren "lifeless" Collison

Post trade I expected him to step forward, maybe become a 18/6/2 first option

Well..

WCS is on the bubble

 

[Starting Five]

hield can score..

 

[VF21]

I like what I'm seeing.

 

[Glenn]

"Hield of dreams?"

Hield is being what he is supposed to be.

 

[k_dubb90]

Willie more like a natural 4

 

[jcwkings]

Buddys threat to shoot is opening up a ton of lanes. If he improves his off the dribble game he could be a VERY nice player. Shows good understanding of game too.

 

[VF21]

Just a reminder of how beautiful G1C is:

 

[gunks]

I still hate the Cuz trade, but Buddy can shoot! If the Pels give us a high pick, and we use it well, I'll be a little less salty!

Also, Trill is rebounding?! Crazy!

 

[Glenn]

Willie more like a natural 4

Yes. We should't pretend that he is a center. Kosta is the center.

 

[SLAB]

Buddy is far better than I gave him credit for. I'm thankful for that.
