[Game] Game 40: Sacramento Kings vs. the- Who the hell cares anymore? 1/17/15 Whenever PM

[sdballer]

Ty Corbin with a little strategy. Nice

 

[VF21]

Gotta love DFC standing up and giving grief to Jordan.

A contrived photo-op with a few hand-picked FOV's I think. But yeah it is a big league publicity try - better than, say, appearing on Carmichael Dave's show for an hour to reiterate your plan to have Ty Corbin coach the rest of the year and laugh nervously. Maybe they are on the right track with this, but one person on twitter (a big hitter deep pockets one-percenter) said "when you're asked to show up by Vivek you don't ask questions". So suddenly I'm not so warm and fuzzy about this 'spontaneous' mingling with the fans. But it is a start. The whole thing makes me lean more "out" than "in" on my tickets tho. I'm starting to realize whats going on here... I am certainly going to be priced out of the lower bowl in the new arena. It's for one percenter FOVs. So my 'priority' will be moot - I won't be able to afford my default seats, and will be trying to either re-locate to upper level or forget the whole thing. Well, I'll watch the talking points for a few weeks before I decide, but... this doesn't help. btw where is #chillmuch Leslie - maybe she's standing back a little now along with Pete?

i'll wait for the suckers who buy season tickets to sell at a discount cuz the team sucks.

4 point swing so far

 

[VF21]

Anybody else notice Griffin travel on that last possession? Blatantly?

Congrats to JT first 20-20 game

Win or lose they competed tonight and Corbin coached a good game

Actually it wasn't just FOV.

The front office isn't evil incarnate. They are doing community outreach and a lot of fan interplay. As far as Leslie Moore goes, there's a picture of her on Twitter with Dave Lack's little girl at the shindig today.

I'll be honest. I'm getting depressed about the amount of vitriol being expressed about all things Kings. In my most honest and humble opinion, Kings fans are better than that.

I hate everything from LA.

So much.

Here's a frightening bit of trivia: Kings have lost their last six games, and twelve of the last thirteen, when Thompson scored 15+ points.

G-Man: Matt Barnes plays with an edge.

That's a very... diplomatic way of putting it...

Also, it only rains when the ground is wet.

Sad to say this, but this team probably would've been better without Rudy Gay tonight. Maybe collision too. The day where everyone steps up is the day where both of our stars play like crap.

Fan just screamed “this isn’t the WNBA” after that last foul was called — took all my strength not to get up and show him a WNBA foul

JT is my guy, but when the dude is one of your teams top scorers, you probably aren't going to win the game.

Awesome game from him tonight though, too bad it came in a loss to the F'n Clippers.

What about when there's no ground to get wet?

 

[Entity]

If you went by tonight's game a JT + Dwill trade should net you some talent

Where's Tot Byears when you need her?

Collison had a few too many to's but I thought he played a good game, especially on d

 

[HndsmCelt]

I really hate the Clippers.

Why be sad, just apologize for being wrong.

 

[VF21]

I wasn't expecting much of anything good tonight. Without Demarcus I figured it would be a total blowout, especially after the Clipper loss last night. I was pleasantly surprised. This was a game worth watching. Good job by JT and respect to Rudy. Nice to see Q3 make his debut. Not much to complain about other than Corbin's failure to use timeouts in the 3rd quarter.

Good effort and we were in this all night. Turnovers at the worst possible time were probably the main reason we didn't get the win - that and the fact the Clippers successfully whined to the officials more times than I could count.

I don't care how much some of you hate Nik or how he is struggling I hate playing miller over him. Nik is part of the future let him develop miller can take DWill minuets.

I'm sure there are some who don't want to hear this, but I'm damn proud of the effort our boys gave tonight. Not EVERY loss is a travesty.

Seriously? I don't hate Nik but I have NO PROBLEM at all in seeing Q3 get a couple of minutes. We're not talking starters here. We're talking end of the bench. Nik hasn't been able to hit water from a boat so why not see what the hot hand from the D-League can do...maybe remind Nik there's always competition and someone waiting to take his spot if he doesn't do his job?

Nik should be part of the future....as he spends time in the D-League

At this point, I don't think it could hurt. He needs to get his confidence back.

Rudy Gay checked into game the moment he got to arena tonight. He flew in from his uncle's funeral in Connecticut. Says he's extremely tired
------------------------------------------------

Wow. Mad respect for him to play tonight. Makes the turnovers at the end of the game pretty understandable.

Stats say correlation but personal eye test says no causation

Anyone disagree though? Interesting correlation

 

[206Fan]

Nope. Once you look at how inefficient they shot, along with Rudy's defense and their total TO's... it sucks. I think they played poorly tonight. Effort was there from everyone, but it was just a poor game by our 2 guys.
