[Game] Game 51 :( Sacramento Kings vs. Phoenix Suns, 2/8/15 - 6 pst, 9 est

[Capt. Factorial]

Some on Twitter are saying it was "This is MY TEAM! MY TOWN!"

Yes it is, big guy. Yes it is.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Poor D-Will was left completely ignored by both teams.

As he should be.

 

[mdme]

If AD can do it, I can too. -cuz

 

[lawlman91]

Happiest i've been as a Kings fan since 9-5 record.

with all the stuff going on today and then to see Boogie hit the winner, i got that happy feeling back. I'm happy to know the passion is still hidden inside of me somewhere

Couldn't be more accurate. In Boogie we trust

 

[206Fan]

Wow this was an amazing win. Kings played a great team game and Cuz had a movie-lite buzzer beating winning shot..

 

[Warhawk]

Decided to watch most of this one and was glad I did. Almost choked it away but I didn't want to see IT come in with a good game and win one against the home team - they pulled it out at the end.

 

[The Hammer]

This was EXACTLY what this team, and franchise, needed at this juncture. Boogie hitting a game winner... just perfect. Perfect for him to forget about the distractions, perfect for the fans, perfect for Corbin as a good send off... and perfect way to create a positive feeling around a new coaching hire.

They say winning cures all. A little bit of winning is exactly what we needed. In this exact fashion... just perfect.

They must have made offerings to the basketball gods.

 

[Glenn]

Cousins has probably missed 3-4 easy shots in the paint

He's still over 50 percent. He's still a young kid with holes in his game. He can get better.

A potential HOFer loyal to this team. Reminds me of

Hopefully for many years to come. DMC, the face of this franchise

 

[Chubbs]

Yes it is, big guy. Yes it is.

I am confident he is not going anywhere now.

This, plus Karl tomorrow, is EXACTLY how a season can get turned right back around.

Hope. I smell it.

 

[kingsboi]

I read Cousins' lips perfectly...he indeed did say "this is my city" and flaunted the Kings on his chest in the process.

 

[lawlman91]

Hope. I'm smell it.

 

[BenThePizzaGuy]

There are some stars in the NBA that are actually proud to play for the team that drafted them and don't follow the trend. Cousins seems to be one of them.

 

[Glenn]

Did the ball just ****ing bounce our way?!

I never thought I'd see the day...

Several times.

 

[Ron]

if Stauskas/Williams are still in the game over Ben/Omri after this TO, we know Corbin is trying to get the axe before midnight

Well, I'm a Casspi fan (as an Israeli), but truth has to be told -
Omri was really bad tonight. Worst game I've seen him play this year.
It pains me to say it, but he didn't deserve more time.
(Not saying Williams was any better)

Anyway, even if Casspi had been the best player on court, while D-Will was having a terrible game - playing D-Will over Omri would only EARN Corbin points with the FO. You are forgetting that he is the PACE guy...

Hopefully the same applies to McLemore. Casspi, too, even though he left for a while.

Maybe even Stauskas and McCallum -- who knows what will happen in the future? Remember that DeMarcus is still young.

Missed the Warriors game, did you?

need a gif/vid of that!

 

[VF21]

Dang. Ray got air...

 

[Elise10]

Looking at it on sportscenter...he did indeed say this is my city!

 

[Kingsguy881]

I bow down. Boogie Monster, this is YOUR team. This is YOUR city. And us fans have your back. Waaaaay back. Love you big fella. We need to get him a shirt that says 'Sactown Represent'

 

[Ron]

Missed the Warriors game, did you?

Yeah, you're probably right.

Anyway, something is really off in Omri's game.
He came out just great in Rudy's place the last time that he was injured, but this time around...

I hope it's nothing that can't be fixed by some rest and focused work over the All-Star break. I really liked having Omri as a great 6th man for us.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I don't agree with that at all. He didn't put up great numbers, but he played well. He was the entire Sacramento ball movement, for a long time, and the team, for the most part, played more like a team when he was out there.

 

[Merdiesel]

I really don't think he meant the city of Sacramento and the fans... That was a shot at the media and the FO.

Suns lose 4th on a lucky bounce buzzer beater.

Its comical at this point, ain't even mad.

Good luck finding sympathy here.

Someone techy get on that please! Iconic image!!

Yeah, I was browsing through NBA.com's Taco Bell Buzzer beater archive and just saw the Suns lost to Clippers (Griffin lucky bounce), Bucks (Middleton's 3), Rockets (Harden's step back) and now Kings (Cousin's lucky bounce), all on buzzer beaters. Felt really relieved, I'd be really mad if the Kings somehow managed to lose the game with Isaiah Thomas torching us in the 4th.

Hoping for a nice Kings turn around...could be? maybe? With Davis and Griffin down with injuries, maybe Kings could try to play for the 8th spot

Only if something terrible happens and the Thunder never win a game again.
