Lets hope these guys can have another great short handed performance. Can't let Harden flop his way to the line all night. I hope Ben stays out of foul trouble
 
We present a match up nightmare for Houston without Jones or Dwight. We should see a heavy dose of Cousins, Landry, and even JT. They will will eventually start chucking and missing.

From last night, man, their crowd is awful. AD needs to get out of that place. The Pelicans have many problems, and letting Tyreke go isn't looking so bad at this point. There's all that talent but something is just missing.

I"m not sure Tyreke and IT weren't ruined completely by the Keith Smart era. Cutting ties may have been the only way to go.

We sure hit the jackpot with early season Casspi. Keep in mind, he's done this before and fades. Just last year it happened.

Very Paul Westphal of Monty to put a guy who had played 29 minutes this season into the starting lineup. Surprised that didn't work. :rolleyes:

Thank goodness we are not debating the merits of Darius Miller (had to look that up) vs. John Salmons. Makes Dwill and Casspi look like superstars in comparison. The guy who's argument that Casspi is a bad player cause he's a 11% 3 point shooter was a good laugh.

Ironically, they had 17,000 at the game last night. Their crowd had a right to be silent... there was nothing to be cheering about last night lol

The thing is that NO at full strength (sans Eric Gordon, of course) >> Houston missing 3/5 starters.

That's an amazing tweet by Kramers... this might be a fantasy, but I hope K-Love can consider Sac :) even a 1 year deal would make me happy. I'm sure Cuz would love to play next to Love.
 
I love the shorter rotation but any idea why Evans is completely out of the rotation ? Do you think this would be a good night to to unleash him on some poor young bigs on the Rockets ?
 
I doubted the Kings last game but I will not doubt them in this one. As long as Ben and Boogie can stay out of foul trouble the Kings will be ok. However Harden has the offensive ability to go huge and drop some ridiculous numbers. Yet, I do not think he makes the players around him better and thus we should treat him like Kobe and let him shoot his team out of a win

Let's not get too analytical, they're a good team and we are ,too, and both of us are short players. Tough matchup. I give us 50/50 chance. Go Kings!!
 
Tarik black is guarding cousins feed him every time. Ben should get open looks with hardens defense and cassipi should have a good game slashing off counins triple teams.

With Beverly and Dwight out this can be a winnable game...hopefully Harden doesn't live on the free throw line in this one, otherwise it's going to be brutal to watch the game of basketball that I love so much. Let's hold them to a 100 also...shall we? :cool:
 
What's great about this team is that we can miss a star (Rudy) and the man who runs our offence/3rd gun (Darren) yet still win tough game cuz of a guy called Boogie.

Is it really that "amazing" that Kevin Love would prefer playing next to DeMarcus Cousins than Wes Johnson?

Media types and those who don't understand the game have been the ones regularly portraying ignorance to the talent which is Boogie Cousins. But guys who actually play the game? They aren't mistaken about his talent.

As far as this game being winnable, we're at the point where when Cuz suits up, every game against any opponent is winnable. He's playing at a true MVP level and is a force no team can contain. It doesn't matter who we play, when Cuz is in the lineup, it's a winnable game. Only time Cuz is contained is when it's his own doing or the refs play a hand in it. That's actually probably pretty close to a true definition of super star, that being the only way the guy can be stopped is if/when he stops himself.

We just need 2-3 other guys to step up to at least keep the defense honest. Who's that gonna be tonight?

8:36 Is that your comeback? Someone who is playing 7 mins with the smallest sample size compared to 16 mins? Miller shot a higher 3pt % in his rookie year than Casspi has his entire career. Miller also has a better career 3pt%. Casspi can have 30 points and go 5-5 still does not make him our missing piece and the 3 haha.

Yeah, this is a perfect example of the other teams forcing Casspi's round peg through a square hole.
They seem to be addicted to the "3-and-D" type of SF, or forcing someone to be a "stretch 4", when they should be more concerned with whether the guy's a good player or not and helps the team when he's on the floor.

Also, every time I see Tyreke play, I'm more convinced of his inability to be on a winning team.
The guy just lacks that certain something (like BRAINS) it takes to be part of a successful TEAM.
He puts up the numbers, but his points seldom hurt, and his mistakes just KILL his team.
 
I was completely shell shocked we won last night. I am just so used to losing that I am afraid to hope for the best. It might be one of those habits that is hard to break, but if they keep it up I am sure it won't be long! Best of luck fellas, I hope you beast all night Cuz.

We had one year in our history when we didn't win any away games. It was either 0 or 1 win.

"Does want to"?

You'll need to read the tweet again. It's past tense. It's related to the draft. And as far as branching off into the assumption Love and other good players now would want to play with arguably the most dominant big in the league, the only thing which would qualify as "amazing" in regards to that is the presumption Cuz never would have gotten to this point where other wants to play with him as in "it's amazing Cuz is this good and Kevin Love wants to play with him".

If you think it's amazing Cuz became this good, so be it. Most here aren't surprised by him fulfilling his talent.
 
Playing with House money the rest of this road trip. Would really love to see them steal a win tonight though. Let's hope Boogie is ready to play good minutes and the guys step up for the missing players agian
 
Ben is going to be a key to this game. Has to contain Harden, not get in foul trouble, and knock down 3s since the Rockets will almost certainly try a zone defense
