[Game] Game 45: Kings @ Raptors - 1/28/15

[HereWeBoogie]

It's sad for me when I actually sort of dread game day.

the Kings are playing decent and i still find myself pretty disinterested with the game

If they're tanking this year, at least give the ball to McLemore more.

OK now, it's half time and the game is tied. How many people thought we would be that close to being ahead? I personally was expecting a blowout.

Pace is too slow.

 

[kingsboi]

just like in the Warriors game...the Kings are hanging in there. The second half...well that's another story. I'm just waiting on one Raptor to explode on us in the quarter to put the game out of reach.

Our expectations have been submerged to negative infinity, so it's no wonder we're celebrating.

Expectations were high after the good start, which made the fanbase once full of rage after the FO axed Malone. Then a lot of us started to become satirical. Then few bothered as the jokes ran out.

Is Klay on the Raps? There aren't many shooters that can explode like that. Hey, I saw his dad play a lot in college along with Kevin McHale and Flip Saunders. It was a great team. Oh, and if you think Kevin is slim now, you should have seen him as an 18 yr old.

I can't even feel positive over being tied at halftime. Not good defense so far. As often in Kings games these days, the first team to play some defense will likely win.

I use the term "explode" very loosely there....I'm not expecting a crazy 25+ point quarter by a Raptor but I'm saying something in the norm of 15 points in a quarter by a Raptor.

I am listening to the Raptor broadcast and both their announcers said they believe the Kings were on the right track before firing Malone and have taken steps back since then.

It's not an earth-shattering revelation or statement, but NBA related press has been avoiding directly saying this for some time. It's mostly come from pundit press. Kings fandom press and fans.

I never said I felt good. It is sooooo difficult to avoid thoughts about Malone.

I know.

Not surprised and that's a good deal. Is the team in the MLS yet?

 

[upinsmoke]

I wonder if they'll change their team colors to match the kings?

 

[Glenn]

This will be my first major criticism of Cousins: watch the TOs man. His classic TO is a pass to someone in the paint or close. He has done that since a rookie.

Actually, someone on here who always watches Kings games with opposing team announcers said every teams' announcers so far have said they thought the Malone firing was a mistake. Other sports commentators have said as much, too.

No announcement on that for awhile yet. Sacramento is competing with other cities for a spot.

I think we have a step up with Vivek involved. Not everyone feels like I do about him.

Is the angry smiley your insert? I was going to say something snide about a new toy distracting him from messing with the Kings but I don't really know how hands on he actually is.

 

[kennadog]

Quiet thread.

 

[Chubbs]

Well, this game is over.

 

[upinsmoke]

Here we go again

 

[HereWeBoogie]

it's cool guys, don't bother guarding Vasquez

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

it's cool guys, don't bother guarding Vasquez

Why would we do that?

 

[funkykingston]

Quiet thread.

Semantics question - can apathy be palpable?

 

[kennadog]

What is our problem with guarding the the point line?

 

[kennadog]

I vote yes. Sadly.

My apathy is palpable but then I'm insane.
