[Grades] Girls v. Clippers 12/1/2012

[Bricklayer]

Some one line player notes followed by pictures of some my all time favorite ladies is all you're going to get out of me tonight:

Boxscore

Salmons -- decided with no Tyreke that he would be Tyreke. Except he isn't. At all.
Thompson -- maybe only player not deserving an F while game was on. Worked hard.
Cousins -- did not look interested, benched most of first half while we still had chance.
Thornton -- did less than nothing until the game was over, then suddenly Jimmer woke him up and bombed 5 threes in a row
Brooks -- painfully bad out there all season without Tyreke.
Hayes -- largely invisible, but began to do a few things defenisvely/on glass in garbagetime
Robinson -- very poor sloppy trying to do too much in first half.
Garcia -- alas, last game was a mirage. incomptent this time with TO after TO
Thomas -- keystone cop first half turning it over, falling on his face, came back in in garbage minutes gunning to try to save his job from being jimmered
Johnson -- turned it over twice in 4 first half minutes, never returned
Outlaw -- impressive in his awfulness, and came right in missing jumpers to prove it
Fredette -- too small to score inside as his new thing, but nice job setting Thornton up for a series of threes.

The world's hottest cute girl. Or cutest hot girl. Smart too. Did I mention the fun sassy persona? Made Natalie Portman look almost plain sitting next to her in Black Swan. If I were another hot woman I wouldn't want to be anywhere around her.

A longtime favorite from amongst the ranks of the ridiculously hot.

At her peak few could match her appeal.

If a woman who looks like that ever gives you a look like that, you are in all kinds of trouble.

On a show full of hot women, this remains my vote for the hottest.

 

[Bricklayer]

At her peak, so hot she was scary.

A woman of 1000 looks, I've always preferred her as a brunette.

When I was REAL young, and so was she, I used to have a crush on Olivia D'Abo. I went on to realize some of the general look explained why I like Billie Piper and Sarah Michelle Gellar.

Madeleine Stowe

Kari Wuhrer. Terrible actress. Great beauty. Used the oen to try to make you forget about the other. It all more or less balanced out.

Tamala Jones... Tamala Jones... Tamala Jones... Tamala Jones... Tamala Jones... Tamala Jones... Tamala Jones... Tamala Jones... Tamala Jones...

I was going to say, as much as I enjoy the grades posts, no need for self-flagellation on this one, Brick. Just bring out the girls and all will be well with the world.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

playing for the draft pick already?

 

[King Baller]

Brick thank you for all the work you do on the Grade posts. I really enjoy them. But I concur, you can skip this one brother

Not even Jessica Biel will soften the pain.


Edit: Looking at the box score, kind of weird that MT goes 7-11, 6-9 from 3, yet had the worst +/- of anyone at -25. IT was next at -20.

 

[gunks]

Know what? **** Cousins. Dude doesnt want to play on a losing team, maybe he should play like less of a loser.

 

[kingsnation]

What scares me is that, this team with these players with this coach, the way they're playing - may finish the season with only 4-5 road wins, at most.

Lol these two games should answer any question anyone has about Cousins and the post. Some claim that the only reason he's forced to play outside is because he's playing with a bunch of guards who want to drive. These two games he's played next to Salmons, Brooks and Thornton - all of whom take shots from the outside, and he still hung around on the perimeter.

And also ... lol at the guy who thought Chris Paul would want to come and sign with us. Good luck with that after this game.

 

[mac]

Interesting that Salmons told Jason Jones that the blame fell solely on the players and not on the coach. I would like to disagree just a wee bit with you there, John.

Kari Wuhrer. Terrible actress. Great beauty. Used the oen to try to make you forget about the other. It all more or less balanced out.

WOW!
If you've ever mentioned your appreciation of Kari before, I may have missed it. She is right up there for me amongst the sexiest women in recent history. It's just the carefree, natural way she "acts" - it's just her, being her. It's her personality more than her acting, which is best shown in videos not pictures (as seen on the show she started on, Remote Control on MTV).

*searched, and Sung Hi Lee, too!? You, sir, have taste!

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Warriors and Clippers are both 10-6. Were 4-12. Wow. All that rebuilding sure has worked well

 

[UK_King]

wow, wow, wow, wow.

Did we even run one play?

I'm someone who was willing to see what Keith Smart was going to do this season, i wanted to give him time, but when you watch games like this..... no.

 

[Sac.1989]

i think we should celebrate wins with girls. Athough i completely understand the sentiment behind softening the pain of a blowout loss.

 

[Prog]

Did we even run one play?

I was waiting for a play, but it never happened. Not even a simple pick and roll. Funny that only a few days ago Clifford Ray, Kings big men coach, was going on in the Cowbell Kingdom podcast about how important and effective the pick and roll is...

I feel bad for the group of kings fans that met up for this game, that was pathetic, this franchise has been pathetic for almost a decade now.

i was there on my own... worst game of the year... i was in the 1st row just to the right of the kings bench... lots of yelling back and forth between each other

Thanks for the consideration. If you think it looked bad on TV, it looked twice as bad in person. By the way, this is bajaden on cruzdude's computer. I honestly have no explanation for anything that happened in the game. I don't know why Cousins didn't play in the second and fourth quarters. I have no idea why Smart threw in the towel so soon and decided the game was lost, and mostly, I have no idea what kind of offense they were running.

I would call it the General Custer offense. You know, the one where you get slaughtered. I won't even bother going into detail. Kennadog, Unci03, and I just sat there and laughed through the whole thing. We thought maybe it was the opening act for the real show. I felt sorry for everyone that came all the way down from sacramento to attend the game. It was one of the most pathetic games I've ever seen, and I've see some bad one's.

I told everyone that in the future, I need a reversible teeshirt. One with the Kings emblem on one side, and the Clippers emblem on the other side. So I can reverse it during a game like that an not be embarrassed.

 

[kennadog]

The best part? Seeing the gang, the SoCal Kings fans. The game was so painful, we had to laugh. It was the worst King's game I think I've ever seen. I'm no basketball brain, but it looked to me like no one, including the coach had any idea what they were doing. Not on offense, not on defense. They played worse than many high school basketball teams. There is clearly no team chemistry, everybody looks mad and sulky, especially Cousins. At this point it wouldn't surprise me if everyone on the team wants a one-way ticket out of Sacramento.

I don't fool my self, though. I don't really think chemistry creates team chemistry so much as winning creates team chemistry, At this point, I think the only players that care about the fans are probably JT and Garcia. Maybe Hayes, too. So I'm grateful to them for that, even though I know they can't fix what's wrong with this team. I haven't got much hope for getting the kind of coach this team needs, but its pretty clear to me that Smart can't help and may have lost the players. I'm really angry with Cousins, who needs a swift kick in the butt for such a lousy attitude. He needs to grow up and realize the fans deserve his best he can play every game. He just sulks and quits out there. Grow up Cousins, become a man. You're paid more every year than most people will earn in their lifetimes. So earn it, damn it.

I know I just picked on Cousins and it's certainly not all his fault, at all. It's just that his poor attitude is so freakin' obvious out there to even the casual observer.

In case you can't tell, I'm really angry. If this team looked like they cared and were doing the best they could, losing would still bother me, but not nearly as much. Not nearly so much. The coaching was and rotations were just a complete mystery. I no longer think Smart has a chance to become the kind of coach this team needs. He might do much better with veterans, but its not happening for him in Sacramento.
