Cuz Toughed it out last night with the crowd rallying behind him but these things always hurt more the day after.

and do I even want to bother starting a Grades thread for that?

So many of these things this year. Spurs look old, vulnerable, ripe for the taking. Now we may be down 2 of our 3, with our last remaining guy playing the same position as the only Spur not drawing pension checks.

Don't worry, we have Derrick Williams.

David Stockton waves a towel out of excitement at his prospective playing time.

^ Is he going to play the 5?

We may lose by so much that it doesn't matter what position he plays.

Yikes, lose/lose situation!

We either lose outright.

Or we win.... and the PACE cheerleaders get "trade Cousins" ammo... which is a loss.

Spurs are hungry for a win having lost 4 straight. This will wet their appetite even more, I'm sure.

And Iʻm sure with Boogie out, Coach will be thinking of torching them with speed.

 

[VF21]

Maybe they'll bring Sim up from the Bighorns.

 

[LPKingsFan]

I hope this is all a ruse to trick Pop into leaving the old folks at home, then Cousins magically improves right before tipoff

 

[Spike]

Aren't we all day-to-day? I know I am.

 

[Ron]

Hell, let's win this one without DC & DMC.

I feel a great night coming up from Landry (at last) & Omri,
plus another superstar performance from Rudy,
plus solid games for RayMac, Miller, Ben & JT.

If they all show up and if we play hard on D - it's doable.

Discreet tanking strats.

If they bring up Sim, I'm gonna unbookmark Kingsfans and bookmark tankathon.

 

[kupman]

This is the perfect night to trial "the system." LOL

 

[Rockmeister]

What a bummer as I will be at the game tonight.

 

[VF21]

Cousins is out for tonight's game.

 

[upinsmoke]

I went to kings site to buy tickets seen that Cousins was out and changed my mind real quick.

 

[Dime Dropper]

No point watching tonight's loss.

FYP.

 

[VF21]

FYP.

I'd appreciate it if you didn't attribute comments like that to me. Thanks.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Of course. Can't get any damn momentum built up around here

 

[PoundForPound]

crap, man. Cousins isn't playing tonight. Well isn't that just dandy, the Kings' chances are now slim. This sucks. I'm beginning to question Cousins' toughness. Sounds like ZBo really beat the crap out of him.

I'm guessing you don't play ball and have never stepped on another players foot.

Yes ZBo very toughguyly caused Cuz to roll his ankle.

It's not just his ankle. Hip Contusion, and General Body Soreness are two symptoms that have ZBo written all over them in big bold black letters.

Uh huh. And I'm sure you could say the same about most fo the front line players involved on eithere side of that game.

However you don't miss games with general body soreness (unless you're a Spur, and near death). You do miss them with sprained ankles.,

I question your fanhood.

The dude sprained his ankle towards the beginning of the fourth quarter, played through it, sat for a couple minutes (during which the injury probably swelled and got worse), then returned to the game and put the Grizzlies away. Sounds like a not-toughguy to me.

 

[IfAt1st]

This is the kind of injury that if Demarcus was really wanting to win, I'm confident he would play through.

I would conclude that he doesn't want to hurt himself to win meaningless games this season.
Good for him.
The FO didn't give a crap about the team's record when it fired Malone with no replacement lined up, or even thought up.

I'd better not hear any leaks from the FO or through their mouthpiece (Napear) about Demarcus not wanting to win bad enough between here and the rest of the season, or their intentions will be plainly exposed...

 

[MissingThoseAdelmanDays]

I don't like how Coach Karl left Rudy out of the game for so long there, he came in with only 6 minutes left in the half after being on fire in the first quarter.
