[Game] Game 8: Sacramento Kings @ Dallas Mavericks, 11/11/14 5:30 PST 8:30 EST

[Bosnian Diehard]

Nice.

 

[upinsmoke]

Of course...

 

[theclash4u5]

wow nice defense

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Monta Ellis have it all.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Mavs had been killed in every 3rd quarter this season. And now this. Awesome

 

[Hoovtrain]

I think I'm about done watching this crap

Yup I'm done..what a joke

 

[nebs]

I've been shaking my head for like an hour straight lol

 

[Monster]

Why is it that the ball movement has stopped? Rudy going one on one is fine once in a while. But this is starting to get stupid. We built the lead off of defense and ball movement, which created open shots for Sessions and Ben. It's stopped. and now Ellis just drained a 3. SMH.

 

[Sac.Kings]

Is there a tally of how many buzzer beaters are made against a team? I would wager we are top 3 if not #1

 

[fursty13]

Looks like some folks may have forgotten this was a play off team on it's home court.... Now we just need to get back to playing our game in the 4th

We also were up by TWENTY SIX points.

 

[Tetsujin]

Yeah, putting Rudy on Monta wasn't a good move

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Dallas just mugging the living hell out of the Kings.

Even if this is true, it's no excuse for playing like we're playing.

 

[KingMilz]

We all know the second Cuz gets in he will get a phantom foul within the first minute.

O please how come when we win it's never cause of the refs? We are like one of the leading teams in FTA's and yet it's the refs.....

 

[Woogie]

I'm expecting a strong 4th quarter, come on Kings!

 

[kingjatt]

the team looks shook from the fact that they blew the lead. need to shake it off and forget it.

 

[Larry89]

Casspi shouldve played more this game to guard Parsons, Rudy cant have all the shots and try to guard Parsons, stint by Derrick Williams was awful.

I guess it's just the old-timers who have the patience to watch a game and accept that teams will make mistakes. I'll be honest - this game thread gets pretty depressing at times.

 

[mac]

We deserve to lose this the way we've played since the mid 2nd. Hopefully we start playing better in the 4th and at least make this respectable.

 

[kennadog]

At this point, I'm a bit amazed that we aren't farther behind, actually.

 

[Sac.Kings]

We can't match their momentum. Cuz has his head stuck in the sand for 2 straight games now. Aggressiveness is gone. This will turn into a blow out

 

[HndsmCelt]

We also were up by TWENTY SIX points.

That was my point... it would have been foolish to expect Dallas to KEEP playing that bad.

We were up 20+ ... that's a pretty big turn around.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

And this is what happens when you act like you won the game after 12 minutes

 

[kingjatt]

the refs are letting the mavs mug us and we cant touch them on the other end, they set this precedent when our lead was huge and we have been unable to adjust.

 

[hrdboild]

First of all -- the game is far from over. Secondly, this is one more example of how much we need Cousins. As soon as he goes out we're ordinary on both ends of the court. This is the time to re-establish our identity. Get Cousins back in the game and pound the paint. Don't wait until halfway through the fourth quarter.

 

[206Fan]

Cousins needs to understand that when he's not on the floor, he's hurting the team. He can't be on the floor if he's fouling out.

 

[fursty13]

That was my point... it would have been foolish to expect Dallas to KEEP playing that bad.

I didn't expect for them to have a 6 point lead at the end of the third. That's inexcusable.

 

[miltonap]

It's really messed up the way the refs called the game in the second quarter. We didn't help ourselves but still just terrible

 

[Larry89]

Rudy looks tired, needed Casspi out there to guard Parsons... Give ball to landry.. 4th quarter starting now. DMC needs to make an impact

 

[jcwkings]

Hard to win when your best player cant stay on the floor.
