Denver @ Kings game thread 12/28, 7p.m. PST

[PurpleHaze]

Actually I think it's more like this:

Doubtful - 75% of not playing

Questionable - 50/50

Probable - 75% of playing

VF21, I think that's more accurate. I had a headache (and still do a bit) as I pounded the keys from a just finished yummy Chinese chicken chow mien I picked up on my way home. Must be that MSG or something... but if Kings win tonight all will be swell... even if Reke is out. GO KINGS!!

coach westphal said evans wont play tonight. read it from a kings source on twitter.

Do you have a time for that? And the direct quote from Westphal?

The problem with some Twitter accounts is that the information is second, third or even fourth hand and dated by the time it makes the rounds.

One way or the other, though, we'll all know within about 56 minutes...

Andrew Nicholson, 32 minutes ago. and theres no direct quote but he posted a pic of Coach W talking to fans.

Ah, crap. I was afraid of that.

Andrew - who writes most of the FullCourtPress stuff - is a pretty reliable source.

RATZ!!!

Yah he is a good source. This sucks but I think it will be good for Evans to sit an watch a game. With Sergio and Beno there will be alot more ball movement and maybe Evans can learn a little something. On the other hand we might get destroyed now.

Piksi,

My WTF moment is the offense grinding to a halt. Understand the JT "no call," cause I saw very upset, but prefer something we can control and work on instead of playing the blame game.

As for Nene. He probably will give Hawes fits and then we'll probably see a long dose of Brockman against both him and Anderson. Energy neutralized.

 

[Sluggah]

bummer.

and it's not even about the possible difference between a win and a loss for me...

it's just about not being able to watch him play.

 

[Tetsujin]

For some reason, I'm getting the feeling that Donte is going to have one of his patented Donte-zilla games tonight against his buddy Carmelo, especially if Tyreke sits this one out.

I hope he stays out of foul trouble (not easy guarding Melo) early, middle, and late - playing 40 minutes at least.

 

[Tetsujin]

Amick and JE Jones confirming on Twitter that Evans is out. Beno to start

 

[M_Barragan]

Damn

Can't speak for Piksi, but as author of the OP, I can say that I respect and value your opinion, and will take such points of view into consideration in the future


Edit: My personal POV is that the award should be given the to the moment that makes most fans step back and go WTF!? I thought that would have been it.

Doubly unfortunate coming off the Lakers loss 1) it greatly diminishes our chances of pulling off a win to restore morale; and 2) Reke does not get a chance at a bounceback game.

 

[Larry89]

holy crap arco is packed

 

[Luv4Kings]

holy crap arco is packed

Wow,,, it is!

 

[rainmaker]

I'm predicting a win. This is the type of game that on paper looks like we won't win without Tyreke, but I see this team stepping up and surpring everyone tonight. At least I hope...

 

[VF21]

Keys to the game (Mine, not Jerry's):

•HEART and HUSTLE!!!

•Team play!

•No ticky-tack fouls.

 

[Aenadin]

damn i wont be able to watch going to bring my little cousin to his mom later... darn have fun watching kings!


VICTORY!

 

[Rockmeister]

Good to see the arena packed.

 

[Nighthawk1]

Donte heating up..

 

[Aenadin]

[Nikefutbolero]

Good to see the arena packed.

Yeah, and I think we'll see more and more of this, Rock.


This is a good time to remind everyone that KingsFans.com has discounted tickets to the Kings vs Mavs this Saturday (Jan 2nd) and to the Kings vs Nuggets game the following Sat (Jan 9th). See the Ticket Forum for details.

I believe it will soon be more difficult to get affordable tickets to games.

I see that superstars in this league are allowed to travel anytime

If you're talking about Carmelo, that's not exactly a "conventional" travel, just a blown call. Not even superstars get away with that one if the refs actually see it.

Edit: looks like Lawson got away with one, too. So powder blue = allowed to throw it to yourself.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Benos getting some open looks. Shot just isn't falling .. All in all were playing some good basketball. If JT could just stay in control..

 

[Nighthawk1]

JT had the chair pulled out from under him it looked like, kinda funny

 

[Nighthawk1]

Donte putting on a show right now,, Melo who?

 

[Nighthawk1]

That's what spence gets for going soft lol
