[Game] Game 18: Sacramento Kings vs. Toronto Raptors

[kingsboi]

No, Ross scored 15 in case you missed it...

Ross is a guard...

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

And now, Webber is stumping for Memphis to win the Fan Night vote. He's actually exhorting Grizzlies fans to vote.

He has officially become a talking head now; he's dead to me.

 

[kingsboi]

Raptors sure live and die by that three ball...

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Sessions made a good pass?

 

[dude12]

Malone is hardly the problem. For 2 games in a row, our opponents combined record is something like 30 and 6 and we don't have Cuz.....and we replace him with Hollins... ****ing Ryan Hollins. Our reserve guards have forgotten how to play the game and haven't played well all season. But go ahead, blame Malone for all that.

 

[206Fan]

We keep backing off their 3pt shooters for no good reason.. shame..

 

[Spike]

So, uh, defend the three!

Much this.

Perhaps, but he plays SF in Toronto's lineup.

 

[Nelson999]

Kaiser?

Bingo

They are one of the best teams in the league, what's the problem with that?

 

[rainmaker]

Okay, if you want to say that McCallum hasn't earned playing time over Sessions, fine. I don't agree but, whatever. I dare you to tell me why he doesn't deserve playing time over Stauskas.

I'd say it's not far-fetched to say that it's connected to someone or someones above the coaching staff.

Ray is a better defender than either Sessions or Nik and it ain't close. Both those guys also are not contributing on the offensive end. So it's either a serious problem with our coach, or there's other entities involved.

 

[kingsboi]

doesn't change the fact that he's not a forward...

 

[Tetsujin]

Ben doing a nice job when he's on Lowry. Don't want to see that consistently but nice Ben can do it

 

[HereWeBoogie]

We keep backing off their 3pt shooters for no good reason.. shame..

We've been doing this for the last 2 years

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Because our owner drafted him?

Who the hell drafted McCallum, Napear?

 

[twslam07]

Ross is a guard...

No, he plays SF for the Raptors, but if you want to call him a guard, it's a free country...

 

[HereWeBoogie]

They are one of the best teams in the league, what's the problem with that?

On top of that, nobody wants to see the Lakers on TV so i'm fine with him not endorsing voting for the Sac LA game

 

[Tetsujin]

In a stunning turn of events, Ramon Sessions is our leading rebounder.

 

[dude12]

Sac can win this game but Casspi and Reggie have to play big minutes and energize the remainder of the team. Baffled by the slow starts.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Ok so the comeback came around much earlier this time than the last few games. Let's see if we can play like this the rest of the night

 

[206Fan]

Yes he does play SF for the Raptors. The guy is a SG though........ but he does play SF. He's like Gerald Green. Green is a SG, but because of his height, the team may play him at SF. Ross plays SF for Toronto, but is a Guard overall

 

[Gilles]

Well, Kings certainly woke up. Pels welcomed Durant back with another loss for Thunder.

 

[kingsboi]

No, he plays SF for the Raptors, but if you want to call him a guard, it's a free country...

teams play players out of position all the time...doesn't make them the position which they were originally moved from.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Lowry made a big mistake contesting Sessions on that shot. A Sessions floater is usually an automatic airball

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

doesn't change the fact that he's not a forward...

It also doesn't change the fact that we're talking about the NBA, not NCAA. Somebody on the team has to "officially" be the small forward, and Duane Casey has decided it's him. Tyreke Evans isn't a small forward either; guess what position it says he plays in the box scores?

 

[HereWeBoogie]

teams play players out of position all the time...doesn't make them the position which they were originally moved from.

Kind of like how Carl Landry is NOT a Center

 

[kingsboi]

something is wrong when you let James Johnson take you to the hole from the three point line...

 

[rainmaker]

Ben couldn't do that last year.

And we've got a tie game.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Johnson's free throw was awful
