[Game] Game 77: Kings v. Timberwolves, 4/7/15 - 7pdt, 10edt

[jcwkings]

Wiggins will be a hell of a player once he adds some muscle. He's already pretty damn good looking like a tree branch.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

You misspelled thirteen.

Well, not at the time...

 

[VF21]

OMG. Jed York looks like Hobbit next to Kayte.

 

[Tetsujin]

We may finally win a game without Boogie.

 

[theclash4u5]

Come on just give Sim like...a minute

 

[Ron]

New career high for Casspi. Well, that's an interesting change of pace.

28 points in 28 minutes...

 

[jcwkings]

Even with the pick up ball feel of this game Ben has struggled and Kmart is working him. 1 step forward 2 steps back season for him.

Kevin Martin has played 39 minutes (still 7 minutes to go in the game). Looks exhausted but has 31 on 11-26 for TWolves who are down 100-91

How is that even relevant to my point

Eh, don't mind me. I like to have fun.

It's only relevant in a long-winded way that isn't really worth explaining because it's a pretty poor reason... but we are all on a internet forum talking about a perennial NBA lottery team to begin with so I'll try to explain it a bit since I enjoy your posts. Suggesting that targeting the return of Casspi next year will help team chemistry (and presumably lead to more success) might also suggest that Pete's continued presence is a good thing (for chemistry). I don't consider Pete's continued presence a positive thing, and I am indifferent to Casspi's effect on the floor ... so I really don't think that Casspi's return just for stability's sake is that important. I like him though - he hustles. I'd take him over Dwill, but would be happy if neither are back.

Sigh B-Mac

Got it. For the record, PDA can pound sand and I'd keep casspi at the right and very low price only.

My stability concern is more about the roster in general than casspi in particular. Since many if those pieces is like to see gone, casspi is one I'd be ok with sticking around.

We want Sim chant just broke out in section 124

Can we please triple team Kmart? Or just have everyone on him?

Bhullar is probably FOL. Karl looks like he wants to break this losing streak and, since we can't stand prosperity, he can't really afford to play him.

Yeah, I agree with that sentiment. Didn't mean to diminish your post earlier - cheers

 

[VF21]

Absolutely love watching Omri tonight...right along with Kevin, who some thought would never make it in the NBA.

 

[chief bromden]

JT moving on that charge call. Nice to know we get calls against teams worse than us

The Wiggins shoulder was very lowered. Should have been a charge regardless.

"Should have" ... doesn't always work that way for us though.

 

[theclash4u5]

poor sim

 

[jdbraver]

Where does this Lin put us?

 

[jcwkings]

Usually it's the former. But I can't always come out and say so. Just the way it is.

In this case, it's what I'm hearing. I like Omri and think he's a good value, especially if he keeps his salary down. But with so many players tough to unload this summer, he's one of the few UFA's, and I'm pretty sure this is going to be an all-out housecleaning by Karl and Vlade.

Of all the mediocrity on this roster, Omri has been one of the few bright spots outside of Cuz, Gay , Collison, especially considering his cheap contract. Plus Cousins and Gay seem fond of him, he should be one of the few guys if not only guys that survive a house cleaning.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

"Should have" ... doesn't always work that way for us though.

True enough, for whatever that's worth, but I think his point was that Wiggins actually committed the violation, and the rule doesn't require the defender to be standing stock still.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

There aren't enough 's on the internet.

 

[theclash4u5]

Where does this Lin put us?

Denver is still a game ahead/behind us (one win, one loss) for the 7th seed but they've lost 4 in a row...

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Where does this Lin put us?

I believe this is going to be a "Woss". At this point, I don't think it's worth counting. We'll finish 7th or 8th most likely.

Thanks Capt.

 

[lawlman91]

lol

 

[theclash4u5]

ITS SIM!!!!

 

[VF21]

It's not a "lin" - which is a game we lose but win as far as draft picks go.

It is - for those who insist on still using that terninology - a "woss" - a win that is a loss as far as potential draft position is concerned.
