Value. the. Ball.

 

[Sac.Kings]

I blame this on Malone. Truly

 

[kingjatt]

kieth smart flashbacks.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Malone leaving the bench in too long is going to lose us this game. Pelicans got 10 points just by attacking Nik

 

[theclash4u5]

Must be nice to be able to spread the floor like that

 

[206Fan]

We need JT

 

[Sac.Kings]

This is horrible coaching from Malone. Why in the world you would keep your starters on the bench that long is beyond me. Pathetic

 

[theclash4u5]

Must be nice to be able to spread the floor like that

 

[chasen4r1]

Such a frustrating game to watch.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Wow what a bad loss. No way we should have lost this one at home against this Pelicans team on a back to back

 

[kingsboi]

so many bricks and ugly turnovers...yuck hope they play better against Chicago. over and out.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Don't let your emotions get the best of you. You must use logic in these situations.

I'm not taking anything away from Davis. He is a great player in this league. Is he an MVP candidate this year? No, he's not. He's not the type of player (right now) that you can rely on to win you a game. That's what an MVP is all about. I'm not sure why you're implying that I think he is a poor player because he most certainly isn't, but if you're going to argue that he's an MVP candidate this year, I'll be lining up against you all night.

I'm not the one letting my emotions getting the better of me. Don't let my use of vulgarity fool you. I'm a sailor; I curse all the ****ing time.

I've seen every game the Pelicans have played this year, and I know that Davis is the real deal. I also know that there's nobody outside of the Kings Fandom who thinks that he's not the real deal, which indicates to me that there's some sort of emotional stake involved on the part of Kings Fans in believing the contrary. Hrmm... I wonder what that could be?

You say that Davis is not an MVP candidate, and I say that the only way that is true is if you are incorrectly interpreting "Davis is an MVP Candidate" to mean "Davis is the runaway frontrunner for MVP, and nobody else is close." Davis is a Top Five candidate for MVP in 2014-15, and there isn't a sincere argument to the contrary. There aren't five players in the NBA who are more deserving of MVP consideration than Anthony Davis, which means that Davis is, in fact, an MVP candidate.

 

[sdballer]

Awful coaching tonight. Poor sub management. Poor defensive adjustments.

 

[Entity]

Can't win with Rudy and cuz disappearing in 2nd half.

 

[Arkitect]

We basically need to stop them from scoring to have any have chance

 

[fursty13]

We lost this game when Landry forgot he was guarding Ryan Anderson.

 

[Sac.Kings]

6-5.... I completely blame Malone. The starters didn't come back until about 5 and a half minutes left in the 4th. No coach does that. None. Horrible move. Cost us the game. One possession is enough to see that Nik does not belong out there and that they are killing us by attacking him.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Left Nik in there just getting abused on every play and giving us nothing on offense for half of the 4th. Why?

Collison playing under 4 minutes in the 4th? WHY?

Still not feeding Boogie? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

 

[Chubbs]

A player who has a chance/deserves to win.

Well he's absolutely top 5 thus far.

So there's a chance. It's just flat out out in outer space to say otherwise.

 

[206Fan]

Kingsfan.com has been so slow for me. Every other site has been alright. And in case if you guys didn't know, there's a separate thread talking about Anthony Davis.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Malone had some questionable rotation decisions tonight. Just letting Anderson trounce our forwards and Gordon attack Stauskas every time down the court.

 

[Sac.Kings]

Landry and Nik were awful for us on defense. Anderson did whatever he wanted and Landry just stood there like a fool.

 

[206Fan]

Malone has some questionable rotation decisions tonight. Just letting Anderson trounce our forwards and Gordon attack Stauskas every time down the court.

Seriously.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Poor loss. Malone, what were you thinking. Leaving Collison out for eight minutes would be beneficial?

 

[Merdiesel]

Nik Stauskas is not ready for this. He's got no D and every team knows it. He is also hyper as **** on offense and his quick erratic passes have no chance.

 

[fursty13]

No quit in this team!

 

[kingjatt]

could have actually done this 4 mins ago....

 

[kingsnation]

Ryan is unguardable tonight

Big difference between unguardable and not guarding.

 

[CurseOfTheSalmons]

way to secure the ball, ben.

 

[Gilles]

Gordon didn't notice it's not Stauskas anymore...

 

[Burrito06]

Substitution pattern was absolutely horrible tonight. Collison being left on the bench till 4 mins left in the game is horrible. I love Rudy but hate the forced shots.

 

[Glenn]

I will admire Davis even if some people think I shouldn't. No argument, please.

 

[Sac.Kings]

Our starters should have played from 10 minutes and in from the 4th.

 

[mac]

Wahahaha Gordon. Worst Pelican on the team.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Those 2 missed free throws are killer

 

[gunks]

Horrible rotations...Maybe Malone got a bit cocky thinking his starters could save the day, while trying to "build the bench's confidence".

His rotations have been great some games, so I dont think he's pulling a Smart on us, although I think he may have outsmarted himself.

We needed more JT this game.

 

[kingsnation]

Omri is so big for us right now

 

[Entity]

Left Nik in there just getting abused on every play and giving us nothing on offense for half of the 4th. Why?

Collison playing under 4 minutes in the 4th? WHY?

Still not feeding Boogie? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

What I don't get is Malone for the first 4-5 games had great sub patterns. Now he is doing something different every game each night more dumb than the previous game. First time cuz not in foul trouble still only 34 min. My guess is Malone is pushing for sg help and is trying to prove it to PDA.

 

[theclash4u5]

I don't know what you guys expect Malone to do with Nik. We drafted him because we desperately need a shooter. We didn't hit ONE 3 point shot against the Spurs. We're 4 of 10 against NO. Ryan Anderson has made 4 himself. We need shooters out there when they play zone.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Best big in the game!

 

[Glenn]

The game isn't over, folks.

 

[Mad D]

Casspi looks so different from his rookie year. He is a beast going to the basket.

 

[theclash4u5]

[HereWeBoogie]

Wow **** the refs in this game. Seriously

 

[kingsnation]

Tyreke, Tyreke. smh.

 

[theclash4u5]

Of course Evans finally makes that shot when he's not here

 

[gunks]

Reke with the dagger

 

[Mad D]

Tyreke is using cheat codes, made that half court shot too.

 

[Sac.Kings]

That's all she wrote. Malone I blame you. I've given you credit before, but this time it's on you.

 

[206Fan]

Wow. Sure, let's not go to Cuz down the stretch because he sucks and hes not our franchise player. Let's go to Casspi who has been terrible finishing around the rim. Sure!
