Would like to see Nik out there. The game is out if hand just let him get some burn and maybe can hit some threes for rhythm and confidence.

Yeah, I don't care if I see Nik Stauskas on the court the rest of the year. You know why? He's fool's gold right now... He does nothing positive for the team and actually costs them points, confidence, etc. And, to clarify, I like Nik. But he's not NBA ready. Period.

Our starters need to get major minutes along with the guys who work their arses off ... and that means Omri should be first of the bench every freaking night and Landry when he's healthy.

And sorry if I sound rude, but I'm beyond tired of giving rookies minutes when they just aren't ready. Let him go to the D-League and get that rhythm and confidence. I'd give his minutes to Q3 before I gave any more to Nik right now.

And if your answer is that he was a lottery pick the response would be that the key word there is WAS. He was a lottery pick. They don't all work out right away and they don't deserve to suck minutes away from guys who are trying their best to get it done.

Okay, I'm done. Sorry for the rant.

According to Voisin, he's overseas at some economic summit conference. If he's smart, he'll make sure his plane doesn't get into the air until after tip-off.

He should be in the D league. I just want him to get some burn one way or the other. This game is now close so I guess I was wrong!
 
Ultimate conflict: I always want my Kings to win but not this way. Not because the other team is so freaking bad they gave up a 20-point lead.

Hey, did I just see Marcus Thornton? Now my night is truly complete.

Well, he's playing for Boston right now, so that'd be quite a feat.
 
Well, barring OT it's pretty evident that we'll have played 12 minutes in this game - the last 3 minutes of the first half and the last 9 minutes of the fourth. The fact that we are alive is both shocking and a major reason why fans are so frustrated with this team. We can win, as long as we actually TRY. But the TRYING is so rare, especially against inferior teams.

We've lost so many that way, I'll take winning one, because the other team does it.

Yeah he's at annual World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. I think it doesn't rap up until weekend.

This team's confidence was truly tied into Malone and it's shockingly apparent of how much he held this team together. It's not that Corbin is telling them to do different stuff/learn new plays/new defensive sets or even the Pace thing that people keep harping on. There isn't time to learn new stuff during the year. But long gone is that team where even in losing efforts, you finished watching the game thinking that if they did a few things differently, they could have won the game. I don't recall really ever questioning the effort or hustle of ANY of the guys before the Boogie injury. Now, it's just snowballed
