New Orleans Mardi Gras Beads would have been a cool name

What surprised me wasn't so much the name (state bird and all that) but rather that they were able to turn such a ridiculous bird/name into such a scary/badass logo:

I wish the Kings logo was a little more interesting. Just a suggestion, there should be a Kings' ligature logo contest. It would be pretty cool to see what members here can come up with.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

We might as well give the title to Mad D, and save everyone else the trouble.

Gay upgraded to probable, Pelicans' Omer Asik is Questionable http://sbnation.com/e/7007640

Really happy about this, but I wish I could've seen how McLemore would handle Tyreke. It would be very interesting

And bead nights at the Pels arena would have been REAL interesting.

That's quite a toss to the 2nd level.

The guy on the Spurs board said he would trade Austin Daye for Boogie

Isn't that special? I've never heard of that particular Spurs board. Back in the day SpursTalk and SpursReport that had the most traffic.

We might still see a bit of that depending on lineups. I was looking forward to that matchup as well.

The Pelicans typically run a rotation something like this:

Jrue/Gordon/Evans
Jrue/Evans/Babbitt
Jrue/Rivers/Babbitt
Rivers/Gordon/Babbitt
Rivers/Gordon/Evans
Jrue/Gordon/Evans

with occasional sprinklings of Salmons and Darius Miller (Jimmer used to get Babbitt's minutes).

So there may possibly be times when McLemore is checking Evans.

Matchup is all over the frontpage of ESPN.

Brow v. Boogie has a ring to it.

Boogie dominating Brow has a better ring to it

 

[HereWeBoogie]

This game has so many Sacramento connections. Tyreke, Jimmer, Salmons. And hometown kid Ryan Anderson

According to Michael Malone, Rudy Gay is playing tonight.

Any update on Asik

Any update on Asik

Pregame said he was a no go.

 

[Woogie]

Pelicans PR @PelicansPR
Omer Asik (lower back pain) is OUT tonight at SAC.

 

[swisshh]

Not good for the Pels. Who is guarding Boogie?

I think Ryan Anderson will give the Kings some probs, but that depends on if he has to guard Cousins or not.

 

[jcwkings]

Just stick Casspi on Anderson, force him to put the ball on the floor.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Fox40 news just said DMC's tech from the Spurs got got rescinded as well today. Is this true? i saw nothing about it today at all

 

[Sac.Kings]

NBA TV giving some major love to Cousins and Davis. Man if Cousins was able to stay on the court for 35 minutes, his stats would be literally ridiculous. With Asik out, look for Rudy to be driving and Cousins being fed in the post. Our best bet is to get them in foul trouble early.

He would be clear cut MVP candidate right now. Last time i looked his per36 numbers were 30ppg 19rpg

26.8ppg 13.3rpg currently... I guess I will have to live with that. However, as useful as per36 is, I don't want to talk about imaginary numbers, because at the end of the day thats what they are. I want him to actually get there and stay there. I want to see the dominance. However, some of these refs aren't giving him any love. He's got to realize that and not be baited by it.

Pelicans have some size outside of Asik in Ajinca and Withey, but they want to play Anderson with Asik out. We might actually see Davis guard Boogie. That'd be great.

Matchup of the night:: Nik vs Jimmer!

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Is that Carmichael Dave on NBA TV?

Yes it is

 

[Sac.Kings]

Damn I am pumped. Boogie loves high profile match-ups should be awesome

 

[John Galt]

Suddenly NBATV went black on my DISH subscription. 412-37 has it as usual, but I'm really disappointed I didn't get to see the end of the "sock bit".

"The classic Kings-Spurs game these past couple years. They play the Spurs well, hard defense or good offense and then break down in the 4th."

Guess again, son!

I love the view from the other side...nice job, Tetsujin.
