[Game] Game 14: Sacramento Kings @ New Orleans Pelicans, 11/25/14 5 PST, 8 EST

[dude12]

Casspi stepped up big time. JT solid job on Davis. Ray Mac was big time off the bench. Cuz was Cuz. Sessions with a respectable job filling in. Stauskas contributed. Competed their butts off.

This is a great example of team play tonight! Everyone stepped up!!! I think everyone deserves As tonight. This was amazing. Even though Sessions had a poor shooting night, he had a very good overall game. Despite D-Will's 0-5 shooting in 15mins, he helped the team in many other ways. I think this is Nik's best game so far. He was good on both sides of the floor despite Evans taking him 1v1 on a few plays. Ray was ready to play. He was definitely the difference maker on the bench tonight. Anytime we needed a basket, he was there. His hustle was off the charts too. Landry and Ben both contributed well on the offensive side.

Cousins had one of those great quiet games. What a beast! I think the player of the game today is pretty obvious... Omri Casspi!!! Wow!

Great game tonight! Amazing win!

 

[Tetsujin]

Akready taken care of.

Does Ty Corbin get one too?

 

[PurpleHaze]

Back-to-back in Houston tomorrow. Who cares? This team doesn't. Coach Malone will be salivating and ready to go. GO KINGS!!

Corbin's 2nd half rotations, leaving one of JT or DMC on the court at all times, had a lot to do with this win. I hope Malone noticed

Funny what happens when you leave some height in the front court.

 

[KingsCitizen]

Omari never stopped in this game. Nice win!

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Tonight we see why the Davis hype needs to cool down. When guards aren't breaking down the defense and finding him for dunks, he doesn't impact the game much. Meanwhile you have DMC out there just doing absolutely everything, especially in that 2nd half

 

[Larry89]

4-0????

Coach Malone intentionally got his technical to study Houston plays early. LOL!
He knows Ty Corbin has this game in his pocket.

Looks like we kept the right 2009-2010 Rookie.

They pretty much had the same statline

Omri Casspi, waived by New Orleans over the summer, has 20 points on 8-12 shooting. Pelicans SFs have 2 points on 1-5.

They waived Casspi and signed John Salmons. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot!

Jason Jones with the good point?

I don't fault Ryan Anderson, but if Anthony Davis is supposed to walk on water and Asik is there, why not try them on Cousins?

Because Cuz would dunk on his ass all night long and foul him out.

In fairness to Davis, JT's been one of the best big men man-to-man defenders in the league to start the season off. He's played like Petrie's mythical version of Chuck Hayes.

Well, Omri had one less run into traffic and throw a stupid turnover in crunchtime play

 

[206Fan]

I think Casspi gave a little dose of his 5hr energy to his teammates tonight. Is it just me, or did everyone seem energized tonight? The Kings never stopped playing with energy on either end of the floor.

Kings improve to 9-5 for first time since 2004-05 with 99-89 win in New Orleans.

We have clinched our first non-losing record at the end of November since 2009-10, and our first winning record at the end of November since 2006-07.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Held them at home to 89 points. The defense is superb this season

Furthermore, he's seemingly figured out AD a lot sooner than most. Let's make sure he stays on, if at least for that alone. Kudos to him.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Omri Casspi though. Man, what a great signing. And the Pelicans waived him this offseason hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhah

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Malone still has the post game interview coming. LOL

 

[Woogie]

Cuz hasn't even scored 25. Huge team effort!

I didn't see Malone's ejection, but was there a burst of energy after it?

That's what I'm saying: don't disrespect Thompson by trying to put Davis' night on lack of guard penetration; Evans certainly didn't seem to have too much trouble.

Not really. Pelicans actually outscored the Kings after the ejection until halftime. Kings came out of the half playing great

 

[Hadlowe]

I would like to claim that I called the Omri revenge game, but he overshot even my expectations by quite a bit.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Gotta give JT major props for stepping up on Defense this year and accepting his role and not thinking he's out there for offense.

 

[jcwkings]

I think you saw the difference between Cuz and Davis in this game, when you slow the game down and keep the Pels from running you can negate Davis's open floor ability/ motor. On the other hand Cousins had his fingerprints all over this game event if it wasn't his greatest statistical night, draws so much attention where we pretty much were able to play straight up on Davis with JT playing like Ron Artest of PF's.

 

[Tetsujin]

Anthony Davis: 37 minutes, 14 points (4-12 shooting, 6-8 FT), 9 rbs, 2 assists, 2 blks, 1 steal. By far his worst performance of the year and it's not from lack of effort.

 

[kingzallday]

9-5 :') I'm so proud of this team, they look like a whole new revamped squad.

 

[Ugolino]

Short handed road win. The Kings keep ticking of milestones.
