casspi is making it personal, and i like it

You need to watch him more. He's had that attitude since he got back. He's a warrior out there.

very nice. when harden made that 3 in casspi's face, it was great to see him try to do the same immediately after. even though he missed, it tells a lot about casspi.

You know, usually when we have 45+ rebounds, we're shooting somewhere around thirty percent. So, it's especially maddening that we're shooting so well, and still getting punked.

 

[VF21]

Cousins looks disinterested in playing all ready

Care to rethink this comment?

Clutch ben

Not the best time to take a long 2.

Not that there's ever a good time, but damn, Ray

 

[VF21]

It's gonna be hard to convince me that anyone other than James Harden deserves the MVP this year.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Career high for Harden.

 

[VF21]

The Rockets are winning but we've got 107 points against them. Somehow that doesn't seem to bode well for their playoff chances. If they can't stop the Kings, how are they going to handle the rest of the West?

Westbrook?

Last player to put up the kind of numbers DMC has tonight (24pt, 20rb, 9ast, 6blk) was Charles Barkley in 1985-85 w/31pt, 21rb, 9ast, 7blk

 

[VF21]

Westbrook?

Discussion for a different thread, probably...

 

[Padrino]

kings are on the road without their second and third best players, against a playoff team featuring an mvp candidate in james harden, who has poured in more than 50 points by himself, and it's still a close game down to the wire. i'd say that's not too shabby, though the defense has been mostly garbage and the turnovers have been a problem, per the usual...

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

 

[VF21]

THANK YOU OMRI CASSPI and GEORGE KARL. Damn, I love this freaking team!!!!

Congratulations to DMC for a fantastic performance.

 

[SLAB]

If only the Rockets had Landry, DMC could get 4 blocks on the next possesion.

 

[lwc]

If my calculations are correct, DMC just got a triple-double with a 20-20-10 game!

 

[Ron]

It's a 20-20-10 game for DMC!

 

[9x1x6]

Amazing game from Boogie, lets pull this crap out!! DefEnse time.

Yeah Both are good answers though.

I'm really liking how Cousins has removed all doubt this season that he's the best center in the NBA. You want a bigman who can pass? He's your man. You want a defensive force? He's your man. You want points and rebounds? None better than Big Cuz.

 

[Sac.Kings]

Cuz with a trip dub and we have 6 other players in double figures. And still we lose. I can take solace in the fact that it took 51 points from Harden to do us in. Way to battle!

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

This has been a much more entertaining game than it had any business being.

On fifty percent shooting, as a team.

 

[hrdboild]

Semi-serious question -- do you think Cousins can average 25-20 over a full season if we rest him every other game?

DeMarcus Cousins: 1st NBA player with a 20-point, 20 rebound, 10-assist, 5 block game since Chris Webber, 1999 (for the Kings)

 

[rainmaker]

So basically, we've got the Lebron of centers. I'm sure Slim would know this but not sure another center since Wilt himself has put up a similar statline or is capable.

24/20/10/6/3 Un f'ing believable.

I see VF posted Barkley did it, but he ain't no center. Neither is Davis who could do it with blocks, but not 10+ assists.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Turnovers aside, we missed eight free throws, in a game we lost by four.

 

[VF21]

As Bobby Jackson just pointed out, the Kings did not at any point give up. That's what having a real coach will do for you. I LOVE THIS TEAM!

 

[Sac.Kings]

On fifty percent shooting, as a team.

In FG%, FT%, and 3%.... one of those nights. Harden misses a couple of those threes and the result may have been different. I find it rather amazing that Houston keeps on winning. Man if Harden ever went down...

 

[VF21]

Can you begin to imagine how good DeMarcus Cousins would be right now if he had been playing for a REAL coach all this time?
