[Game] Kings @ Clippers - 4/7/12

[The_Jamal]

Once again, Cousins and Reke **** the bed on offense. These guys have to wake up sooner or later and realize they're the #1 and #2 options on the team and they have to drop an efficient 18+ a game for us to be competitive. Boogie 5-19 for 14 and Reke 5-10 for 14 with 5 TO's is not getting it done

And report from the locker room - Cisco DOES have a concussion.

Ridiculous

 

[rainmaker]

IT and Reke are having a competition.

Who can throw the worst pass.

 

[swisshh]

Get Reke back in.

Yeah we need more turnovers.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Evans just needs to be better, period. He wants to be called our second best player, he's going to need to put up better numbers when Marcus is out.

 

[kingsnation]

Call me crazy but I'm proud of our Kings right now. The Clippers are older and wiser and better but, mistakes and all, the Kings are still making a game of it. I'm encouraged by what I'm seeing. Baby steps will lead to big strides down the road.

I agree. And if DMC wanted to, he could knock the teeth out of Blake's mouth. No matter how badly he wants to, he hasn't. So, great thing.

 

[kingsnation]

Yeah we need more turnovers.

Yes because when he was in, we were down by only a few points. Now we're down by almost 20.

do you still feel this way?

 

[rainmaker]

Would have meant something if you said that about 10 mins ago. Now, just trolling. You waited how long to go back and quote that post?

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Oh my god.

These last few minutes are NOT putting a good taste in my mouth. Reke's of quitting.

 

[Bricklayer]

Alright Reke, I do not want to see you thrwo another pass this game. You get it, you take the shot.

 

[VF21]

The good thing about young teams getting jobbed like this? They remember it and they learn from it. And I swear there will come a time when Cousins eats Blake Griffin for lunch.

 

[VF21]

do you still feel this way?

Yep.

 

[kingsnation]

I'm curious to see when Del Negro takes out his stars.

 

[kingjatt]

so ya lets run back to back outlaw iso's

 

[The_Jamal]

We quit. Simple as that

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Bingooooooooooooooooooo

Anyone else want an open 3?

 

[rainmaker]

Oh my god.

Might be something there. I kinda sense something, but not sure.

 

[kingsnation]

We quit. Simple as that

This is what happens when they feel like they're playing against the world (refs.) Not saying it's right. But I do believe this is what happened tonight. I think they just want to get off the floor.

 

[Amory]

Not sure who I am more mad at....

LAC, the refs or the Kings..

I think the Kings for totally giving up.

 

[SkinnerBox]

This is embarrassing. I should have played XBOX instead of watch this. We quit while the game was still close.

 

[VF21]

A few good minutes for the end of the bench can't hurt...until they just heave up deep threes for no reason.

 

[kingjatt]

outlaws season high!

 

[kingjatt]

i think honeycutt should get more burn than any other sf on our team. we already know of the garbage we have in everyone else.

This is probably somewhat true. But situations like tonight is where Cousins and Reke have to step up and put the team on their back. Boogie has flat out got to shoot better than 25% from the floor and even more concerning was Reke flat out looking like he didnt care. He was horrible defensively, missed layups he normally makes,committed 5 turnovers, and flat out quit on several possessions defensively. Yes, they are young, but they have got to embrace that they are the franchise players of the Kings and start acting like it on the court

Cisco concussion and MT/Salmons out ... he may play tomorrow.

The question is, is that the only reason they quit? Is there something more? Don't know, but this is our 3rd loss in a row, making it our 7th 3 game losing streak under Smart, with four of those streaks hitting 4 games. And that's not to bash Smart, but it probably is wearing on the guys.

 

[The_Jamal]

Also, say what you want about Smart, but these type of games haven't happened since he took over the head coaching job. It's going to be up to him to get them ready for tomorrows game

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Anyone catch that on Clippers feed?

Thornton called CP3 out for 'talking ****' to the whole bench.
