[Game] Clippers vs Kings 12/27/10 Game Thread

[Krunker]

Only a few hours to tipoff and no game thread yet!
Will our "experienced" lineup make a difference?

 

[rainmaker]

Because of this new lineupm this is the first time in a long time I'm literally not excited about the game. Of course I will watch, and every min of it, but when we're losing every game I at least look forward to watching the young guys and looking for even minimal improvement. Now...all the young guys except Tyreke have gone to the bench and their mins cut so we can lose by 5 instead of 10.

You new signature is great.

I agree with you, but who is to say these Vet's will decrease the amount we lose by? I would say our younger kids are much more talented but I'd rather live with their mistakes so they can grow from it... I really don't mind the starting lineup - it will be interesting to see how Garcia fares I don't think it's a bad matchup for him tonight starting at SF...

 

[Krunker]

I don't think the Carl Landry vs. Blake Griffin matchup will fare too well in our favor, but I hope Mandry comes out and proves me wrong.

 

[kingsboi]

So there's a new starting line up once again? Anybody care to fill me in on this one please.

 

[sacgirl88]

Sacramento Kings Updated starting lineup from Paul Westphal for tomorrow's game vs. Clippers: Udrih, Evans, Garcia, Landry, Dalembert.

 

[kingsboi]

Wow, so no more JT and Cousins. Good job Paul, phenomenal! 0_o shoot me now.

 

[est.1999]

Paul Westfail is a douche.

Thanks. The vets not losing by as much is a best case scenario IMO. Even if we pull off win, going forward, I see this lineup losing by the pretty much the same point differential as the lineup including Donte, JT, and Cousins.

If we're going to lose, why not let the youth get experience? I think we'll se minutes get cut, but time will tell. Even if we did win a few more games, what's the point if it's not our young future core doing it? Landry and Daly could be gone at the deadline, and Cisco I imagine Cisco would be moved if there were takers.

I don't see this a positive thing in any way in the present, when it comes to the chemistry, confidence, and development of the young guys, or for the future, because the young guys aren't getting as much chemistry as they should, and starting guys who won't be here past the near future makes no sense.

I just see this as a bad, bad decision.

mr_jasonjones
Jason Thompson (hand) will dress but will only play in an emergency situation. Luther Head (illness) isn't playing. #nbakings

Sidenote: When KF.com was down, I thought we were headed for another crash Glad to have the site back

 

[annihilator_33]

blown layup to start the game.....

 

[=LarryLegend=]

Cisco!

 

[Asaf]

wow 3 kings in the paint all just staring at baron davis while he makes the layup...

 

[Krunker]

Baron got to waltz right to the hoop

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Griffin is so good. Its scary.

 

[=LarryLegend=]

Why doesn't Tyreke bully his way to the rim this year? and correct me if I am wrong but has he even dunked this season?

 

[deekay2o9]

Blake Griffin is a monster.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

We miss way to many shots at the basket.

 

[davidfriedlander]

tyreke with another turnover night

 

[est.1999]

Evans keeps finding people for layups and open shots and they miss all of them.

 

[kingsboi]

So let me get this straight, JT is cleared to play after 3 games, correct? Well it has been 3 games, and now...he's not going to play unless it's an "emergency"? What gives???

 

[annihilator_33]

both teams are turning the ball over like crazy

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

So it looks like Donte is once again the odd man out.

 

[kingsboi]

That Tyreke floater wasn't going to go in but Bledsoe decided to try a Dwight Howard and fell just short.

 

[rainmaker]

Starter to 12th. Where have we seen that before.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Why do we keep playing Pooh and Udrih together? Udrih is only a 2 when he's playing with a bigger guard ( Evans ). And Pooh should never be playing the 2. Its just stupid to put us at such a disadvantage for no reason.

 

[kingsboi]

Wow ok...so try to reach in once, nope...reach in twice, nope...hey! how about a wide open dunk!! good one Kings.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Jackson just stood there and watched them dunk. Pooh hasnt hit a shot in about 5 games. Not sure why he gets so much love.

 

[annihilator_33]

the entire kings team chased griffin around on that last play.......
