[Game] Game 70: Kings v. 76ers - 3/24/15 - 7:00 pdt 10:00 edt

Except I at no point even made mention of that at all.

If having experienced hardships at some point in his or her life excludes someone from criticism, every single person is infallible forever.

I also fail to see how raising your sister relates to exhibiting the basketball intelligence of a cucumber.

What you posted is not criticism, and you know it. Perhaps you intended it that way but you sure as hell didn't write it out as a criticism of his ability to read and react to a zone defense or anticipate a carom off the backboard and get in the best possible position to grab the rebound. We're arguing semantics right now when frankly all I was trying to say is that there's such a thing as a moral high road and you're way below it. Ease up.

 

[VF21]

Say, who put the goal posts over here?

You know, at some point the "ignore" feature becomes your only salvation.

Kings defense in the 2nd:

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I wonder who has coached longer

Anybody ever accuse Jerry Sloan's teams of playing poor defense?

 

[kingsboi]

so I guess its established that the Sixers offense is unstoppable when playing the Kings and that's the end of that story. Ish Smith and Canaan are an absolute nightmare for this team...or it might be the fact that they are better at playing small ball than Sac.

MOD VOICE: Okay, that's enough. Moral high road? This is a freaking message board devoted to a professional NBA team. I don't think the moral high ground can be claimed by anyone.

Let's get back to the game, okay?

Arguing with you is like trying to teach my cat to fetch.

If every joke or aside required full context and explanation, buying a ticket to watch stand-up comedy would be tantamount to agreeing to be waterboarded.

It depends. Is this a particularly smart cat?

My closed captioning just referred to Nik Stauskas as "Sauce Castillo" and I will never be able to not call him this again

Stauskas shall only be referred to as "Sauce Castillo," from now on.

THIS... I command!

I get it. Tetsujin posts a joke. I don't think it's funny. Everybody else does. We're moving on.

In related news... I hate stand-up comedy

The Sixers are well on their way to dropping 140 points on us tonight, which is equal to a game and a half worth of points for them.

 

[Spike]

I might ask to have my name changed to "AkaSauceCastillo".

They'll score 62 in the next game.



Total.

 

[VF21]

Report from STA: Lots of interaction between DMC and Reggie on the bench. Almost as though they're plotting something "diabolical." Also, George Karl ran out at least once to complain to the officials about the pummeling DMC is receiving. And GK did this once by almost running over his bruised center.

 

[VF21]

They'll score 62 in the next game.



Total.

Their next game, I believe, is in Denver. They might be lucky to get 50.

 

[hrdboild]

Also... does anyone agree with me now that Robinson and Noel might look pretty good in Kings uniforms next season? Granted our defense makes a lot of mediocre players look better than they are, but those guys are carving us up right now.

Okay, that's funny.

They'll get to 43 before Jason Richardson collapses out of exhaustion.

Sauce Castillo has made me laugh every time I've seen it. Amazing, and it needs to be a thing that sticks.

But... but... we seem to say that about at least one player from every team that visits STA. Truth be told, I wouldn't mind Noel at all but I do not think TRob would be any more efficient on a return trip than he was the first time. I think he's found his niche in Philly.

 

[PurpleHaze]

If Kings played zone D would it be any better? Or would 76er just slap a zone on Kings for spite - knowing they've yet this season figured out how to attack it.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Also... does anyone agree with me now that Robinson and Noel might look pretty good in Kings uniforms next season?

Well, I agree with half of that sentence.

 

[SLAB]

"What Philly does is what we want to get to."

Did I really just hear that?

 

[VF21]

Well, at least something good...

Sacramento with a 14-to-2 assist-to-turnover ratio in the first half.

 

[VF21]

Oh, great God Naismith, please do not let us have as bad a 3rd quarter as we are often wont to have.

 

[Tetsujin]

Nerlens Noel sometimes shows the on-court awareness of a young Jason Thompson. That is to say, he crashes into things more than anyone has a right to

 

[Tetsujin]

Has anyone commented on how ridiculous Jakarr Sampson's hair is yet?

 

[captain bill]

Nerlens is good
Our defense is not
Philly is outrunning our running game
