.@boogiecousins tells @ggerould team came out sluggish, wasn’t zone, they played to level of the competition. Didn’t play rt type of bball

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Love hearing Cousins being critical of the team's performance, even after a win.

DeMarcus Cousins is the Purple Hulk.

You know the Kings are much improved, when most of us aren’t ecstatic with their overall play in a WIN @kayte_c we expect consistency, now.

 

[Chubbs]

That was the most upsetting win I've watched by the kings in some time.

But hey, better than an upsetting loss.

I like it. No excuses.

Right? That OKC loss is going to sting for a minute.

 

[Sac.Kings]

Great game from Cuz, Ben and Collison. To be fair, Cuz could have had 45+ in this one if we just fed him down low. The Wolves should consider themselves lucky he "only" had 31/18

 

[Glenn]

I was a bit concerned about Rudy's game but the percentages are OK and he got a few rebounds. I think he stepped aside for Ben. I sure hope that's the explanation.

Ben had the most minutes with 41. A good Ben is VERY good for the team.

Yep. Much prefer playing ugly and winning, than playing ugly and losing. But we really need to do better.

Can't get away with that every night.

Its all good.

 

[VF21]

My favorite phrase from Mike Malone:

We did it with defense.

 

[kingsnation]

Solid win Kings! Great game Ben!

 

[Gliesian]

The thing I liked most about this game was Cousin's resolve to get the win and lead the team with his effort. It was clear the team wasn't trying with maximum effort, and Cousins really cranked it up and led the way in the third quarter.

True, and I bet the rest of the team is going to hear from Capt. Cousins about effort.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Well, it's encouraging that we are starting to beat the teams we're supposed to beat, but I wouldn't say that it's all good. That effort in the first half was very poor. And the turnovers...

 

[hoops4kings]

Nice road win.

 

[Glenn]

DWill's stat line is really good. That's two games in a row. It's getting very difficult to write about him with total disdain.

4-7 fgs
1-2 3 pts
3-4 fts
6 rebounds
3 TOs

Good games by Ben and DWill make us a tough team. I suppose everyone knew that, huh?

 

[Gliesian]

One of the last unknowns about Cousins that we fans will never appreciate is how he deals with this type of situations in the locker room. Is he delicate or brutally honest? Angry or happy about the win? I want to know more about our blossoming super star!

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Here's an interesting tidbit: Cousins is averaging 21.4ppg (.475) and 11.4rpg when he has 5+ fouls, and 27ppg (.609) and 14.25rpg when he has 4 or fewer.

I know people are saying it was an iffy win and it was for sure. But even if the wolves aren't very good it says how far our team has come that we're not super happy about a win (nor was Malone it seems) because we're expected to win even on the road.

A couple of plays different and the Kings are at the top of the standings. The ball movement is looking way better. Malone just has to work with Gay on the isn't and we need our bench to play way better than they have been. If that means shortening the rotation then so be it.

I agree. I expected the team to look the way they looked in the first half. It's not unusual when playing a team you should beat. What is VERY important is how they put it all together in the 2nd half. I'll settle for it and see it reasonably positively.

I think we understand that he's a brutally honest person. Doesn't mean it's a bad thing if it's coming from a person who's motives are coming from the right place
