Mister Slim Says:

HERE WE GO AGAIN! (Here we go again!)

SAME OLD SONG AGAIN! (Same old song again!)

MARCHING DOWN THE AVENUE! (Marching down the avenue!)

SEVEN MORE GAMES, AND WE'LL BE THROUGH! (Seven more games, and we'll be through!)

We've got another Tank-Off™! The Brooklyn Nets, who have lost ten games in a row. will host the Sacramento Kings, who haven't won a game since the last time they played... the Brooklyn Nets. Scott Perry took a glance at Brooklyn's injury report and said, "Two can play that game, you POS!" That being said, the only veterans available for the Kings this evening are Precious Achiuwa and Doug McDermott so, if the Kings win tonight, I kind of feel like you can't even say nothing... at least about this one specific game in isolation: why the organization waited this long to make these decisions is a separate discussion, one best suited for that other thread.


Play who you can, man, ****.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

So many good options on the poll today. Wilson was the quirkiest bit. Kramer was the funniest, and I'm not sure it was close. Jefferson turned his neighbor gig into the biggest promotion.

But this has to go to the neighbor of all neighbors. Yes, Mr. Rogers, I would be your neighbor.

 

[Turgenev]

Ned Flanders!!

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Ned Flanders!!

If I weren't being shamelessly biased and self-serving, I would have had him instead of Malcolm.

 

[SacTownKid]

The Kings are like, I see your tank, I raise you. lol.

 

[Sluggah]

Not sure why it took me so long to pick up on the “thumbs up” issue on the board, thought I was pretty liberal with them, but +1 to Ned Flanders.

 

[gunks]

Another + 1 for good ole Ned!

I'm actually not working during a game for once! I may tune in to the tank-off just to see the kids play, but either way I imagine this thread is going to be a bloodbath after we're carried to a win by a 40 piece from Precious.

 

[Tetsujin]

Kings with the “literally just the rookies and the guys we picked up as the season has gone on” roster for tonight’s game.

 

[Sluggah]

I’ll get out ahead of it and decry the team’s incompetence for not suiting up a ragtag group of make-a-wish children.

 

[Krunker]

Wow the nets have a veteran roster compared to ours

 

[Tetsujin]

I’ll get out ahead of it and decry the team’s incompetence for not suiting up a ragtag group of make-a-wish children.

Devin and Plowden currently playing like they have terminal illnesses so close enough.

 

[Tetsujin]

Nique has great court vision. Need to let him run more actions.

 

[Caccia]

Was any (real) reason given for DeRozan's absence today? Or is it something vague like "hamstring tightness?"

As far as I can see, the Kings have nine men available.

 

[MizzouKing]

I love this lineup and I'm all here for it!

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

This game is lowkey fascinating because all of the "good" players for both teams are out, so it's just a bunch of guys who are all trying to prove that they belong in the NBA. There's a sneaky kind of desperate energy in the game.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Never imagined I'd be watching a professional basketball game where the best player on the court was Noah Clowney.

 

[SacTownKid]

Looks like the Kings had buttered popcorn for lunch. Nobody can hang onto the ball. Every player has had the ball just slip out.

I understand that the pizza is super greasy in Brooklyn.

 

[Tetsujin]

Precious lowkey has Mikki Moore hands tonight

 

[Sam0ah]

The more I watch Carter the more I am not sure if he has what it takes.

 

[Caccia]

I love this lineup and I'm all here for it!

Play the kids! Lose big!

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Is Doug mic'd up? Or is Ashley Moyer-Gleish? Why could I hear that conversation so clearly?

 

[SacTownKid]

I really like that Etienne guy, he plays his butt off and is a very good defender. Looks like a "pillar" player to me.

 

[gunks]

Truly impressive tanking in the first half, but let's not underestimate an opponent like Brooklyn.

 

[SacTownKid]

Uh oh, Kings waking up a little bit.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Geoffrey Staton must have spiked the Nets' Gatorade at halftime.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Carter can't shoot worth a ****, but he does a lot of other things well.

 

[Sluggah]

Geoffrey Staton must have spiked the Nets' Gatorade at halftime.

It’s this type of creative thinking half the board would appreciate.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Cardwell in for Clifford:
McDermott in for Raynaud:

Can't never have two things that match!

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I'm more impressed that Greg McDermott got to keep his job at Creighton after Doug graduated, since getting his son to go there is probably the reason he got the job in the first place.
