What the f... chuck!!

 

[SLAB]

The team is literally crippled on the boards whenever Hayes is on the court. There has not been a signing I have liked less than him in a long time.

 

[annihilator_33]

Hayes should never initiate any kind of offense

 

[cuad]

omg Hickson passed the ball out of the post.

 

[Larry89]

didnt jared dudly bank in a critical three last year also

 

[ArcoKings]

It's ok guys, JJ Hickson just checked back in.

Lmao.

 

[kingjatt]

omg Hickson passed the ball out of the post.

Lol I was thinking the same thing

 

[king07]

this game is reality check

 

[LoungeLizard]

How many dunks/oops has Hickson not finished this year?

 

[Capt. Factorial]

this game is reality checkmate

Fixed that for you.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

How many dunks/oops has Hickson not finished this year?

Well, he has missed 92 shots this year, but I'm pretty sure one or two of them were jumpers.

 

[Larry89]

same ol dumb kings

 

[LoungeLizard]

There's no way the guys in the NBA TV studio are actually watching this game...I don't care if they're getting paid.

 

[Larry89]

just when you think the Kings can turn the corner they lay a stinker against phoenix

 

[Mad D]

Who ever is checking into the game walked the sideline hunched over with a towel over their head like they were ashamed of what is happening tonight

 

[Dime Dropper]

Awful performance from both the Kings and refs.

Also, banked threes shouldn't count. Two of them within a couple mins for the Suns, killed us.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

What a bad night. We never looked into it.

It's a missed opportunity too.. It would have been a big win.

 

[rainmaker]

Can't accuse Cuz of not having heart. It'd be nice of others showed it every night.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Phoenix has been shooting around 49-51% entire game. Kings have been bricking everything at around 33-35% entire game. Kings are not a good shooting team, in fact they're terrible, and when opponent executes an offense and shoots well it's usually too much for Kings to overcome.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Donte Greene is a GREAT shooter in garbage time.

 

[LWP777]

We got owned by a bunch of 40 year olds.

 

[gunks]

Maybe Pheonix will take Reke for Nash?


Steve should still be good for 5+ seasons

 

[annihilator_33]

well........now the kings embark on a looooooooong road trip

 

[swisshh]

"Kings need to have a good game from Tyreke to win"

Tyreke needs to have a defense that lets him drive to win. Any and every defense he's faced that packs the middle destroys him. He has no other game. No jumpshot, no team organizing flow.

 

[gunks]

Until then GP needs to get us some better perimeter shooters....MT is streaky, as is IT. Jimmer has been terrible. And we're getting nothing from the 3. Teams can pack the paint against us...

I feel like this team doesn't take bad teams seriously enough. They should realize that they still are one.

 

[Bricklayer]

One advantage of being 40yrs old is you know how to play. 20yr old kids think they have it all figured out, but there's a reason they are often still in schools of one sort or another.

 

[RookieOfTheDay]

kind of want to see Jimmer get in the game. His shooting might help us out.

Terrible idea. Jimmer's defense cost the Kings that game.

THAT'S the lesson of this game. THAT'S why you spend big bucks for a great old vet on a team like the Kings. Experience counts and even when the body has given up, there still is a lot of experience to call on to play the game. There also is a lot a vet can teach youngsters and I swear, one great old vet who is respected, and I DO mean respected, would change this team and move it ahead a few years in its development. The way it is, we simply wait for our very talented and very young team to grow up.

The great Kings' teams in the so-called glory years would never have been what they were without Vlade. As good as the rest were, he was the emotional leader and the voice of wisdom. The Suns have Nash and Hill. This is where a Battier would have been worth every penny spent or "overspent" as people like to say. You can't put a monetary value on wisdom and experience.
