[Game] Final Four! Kings v. Wizards - 7/20 - 5:00 PT

[ElRey]

Alright we won...let's hope the guys get some rest tonight. They pooped out at the 2nd half this game

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Old habits die hard.

I dunno - being up 14 at the end of the game isn't much of an "old habit" lately...

 

[Fear the Putin]

we played like a team and it was actually fun to watch
odd...

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

No, but I've seen him running up and down the court in some very fast paced games and he played almost every minute. I've never seen him with his hands on his knees and red faced like he has been for the last 3 games. And he's gone deep in the big 10 tournament, playing a few games in a row and some out of conference tournaments in which he had to play a few games in a row. Still, never seen him this way.

Well, then, I think it would be fair to say that this is harder.

[dude12]

look at nik walking around at half court when ray mccallum needs someone to pass to.

Lol...saw that. Wait until tomorrow....may be some sloppy ball,with more tired legs

 

[Monster]

Well, then, I think it would be fair to say that this is harder.

True. But, I still wouldn't expect to see him THIS tired.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

If we win the Summer League championship, do we get to hang a banner at Sleep Train?

 

[SwishKing]

No, but I've seen him running up and down the court in some very fast paced games and he played almost every minute.

I bet those NBA practices are a little more intense than they were at Michigan.

 

[swisshh]

Moreland with a +20 +/- and 12 rebs + 3 blks.

If the Kings win tourny, then I'd get MVP to McCallum for running the offense and keeping it going, but I got a bit of a mancrush on Moreland.

 

[VF21]

I dunno - being up 14 at the end of the game isn't much of an "old habit" lately...

I meant being afraid of the Kings finding a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

 

[upinsmoke]

Just got in how did the gang do?

 

[Monster]

What happened to Brooks? He only played a few minutes in the 2nd half.

Best stat of the day: All starters in negative +/- and all bench players in the positive.

 

[VF21]

If we win the Summer League championship, do we get to hang a banner at Sleep Train?

Only after the parade, silly.

 

[kingsboi]

I think it was obvious that when Moreland was in the game, the flow of the game went in Sacramento's favor more. Ben had another stinker, some of Nik's shots looked as if he didn't put enough leg into them. You could see as soon as he released the ball.

 

[VF21]

The Kings win but "The Starters" show is gonna have Glenn Rice, Jr. as their guest? Boo. Boo, boo, boo, boo...pfffft.

That's what Monster was saying - that Nik looked as though his legs were tired.

I'm going to go out on a limb, and guess that these things are booked in advance. IIRC, they had Tim Hardaway Jr. on, right after the Knicks were eliminated, too.

 

[Glenn]

Remember how they played Cuz until he could barely walk many years ago? This might have been a message that he be in shape.

The guy puts up significant block and rebounding numbers everytime he plays. Very consistent effort and production

 

[Sluggah]

Tiredness is definitely going to be a factor tomorrow night...but if we win the SL championship, that's gotta be worth at least one player from the team getting a contract, right? or at least... one certain player? ::nudge nudge:: ::wink wink::

 

[HighFlyingMonkey]

If we win the Summer League championship, do we get to hang a banner at Sleep Train?

No but it will completely justify the gold tab representing a championship on next year's jerseys

 

[HereWeBoogie]

They should start Moreland over Oriakhi tomorrow. That guy is turrible

 

[swisshh]

Well with Monti coming in, Oriakhi has a chance to show something tomorrow. Alex has more beef to him than Moreland and Montie has been killing it for the Rockets on the low block.

 

[VF21]

FYI - I did start the game thread for tomorrow.

 

[jcwkings]

Along with having to adjust to the NBA pace and physicality we also have to remember that Nik and other rookies had been working out like crazy for the draft process. Guys with experience had a vacation time and their workouts were probably more skill based rather than pushing their bodies to the limit.

 

[pshn80]

If we win the Summer League championship, do we get to hang a banner at Sleep Train?

Sure. The Sign Lady will make one and we can hang it up without any Vivek-tropics.

#Great Win
#Moreland just patrolled the airways and did his thing both ends top work young man
#Acy jumper bit off, but his defence was stellar caused literally 4-5 turnovers just playing solid man to man D and all of a sudden found a post game.
#Nik played solid
#Mclemore despite the poor numbers I thought he played solid, he played the right way I thought and good as well, last two games when he was on the oppositions best player in Portor and Snell he really limited them when he swtiched off of them they started scoring.
#Ray was huge in the clutch and controlled the game well.
#Brooks opened the flood gates with a crazy 2nd quarter.
