BTW, Gay played like a superstar that he should be in this game. Just awesome on offense and defense and did not forget he's got teammates around him. Collison is our consistent MVP in two games he's played now. McLemore and Nick, however weak defender they are gave their best. Their utmost efforts were enough to not hurt the team, which can be said for the rest of the guys who played.

Coaching was also not that bad, but mainly because it got help from the fact that Portlands's bigs didn't really imposed themselves to dominate inside when we played that ridiculous smallball again. If Portland did, we could have got into trouble.

I thought he was overpaid for a 20/5/5/ guy?

So, is his salary palatable now?

Get him back!

Him, Cousins, Gay, and Collison and here comes playoffs!

Tyreke is my favorite King of the last 10 years, but he wouldn't thrive here. In NO, he's surrounded by scorers and players who are passers. It's a different story here.

but just last season standard League Pass replayed the games numerous times after its original air time.

That would be news to me. At this point, someone who actually has league pass should probably jump in. I watch the games - when DishNetwork doesn't hide them from me - on Comcast, News10 or the occasional national broadcast.

I recall some discussions this summer that centered around one well known poster's belief that Ramon Sessions would be our starter.

That was funny.

I would not call it funny. However, I did not think that it will happen, because I saw some Clippers games last season and Collison was really good. Session has played some real crap in the two first games. He is able to play real basketball too. I don't understand what goes on in his head. but he needs to think it over. I think something similar happened to him when he bolted the Lakers and went to Charlotte. A point guard should first of all distribute the ball and get everybody involved. When you start to play iso ball, you lose the team and you become useless.

I'm really looking forward to seeing the Clippers game. Going to be very interesting to compare Collison and Sessions to Chris Paul. I'm not a Chris Paul fan at all, but I can't deny his record.

He will be back this is probably the worst back to back games he's ever played, although Collison has shocked me I never expected him to be this good like a right handed Mike Conley ( I don't expect him to be this good all year and if he is than it's the one of the best signings we have ever made).

I have International League Pass, considering I live in Italy. You can watch the game anytime you want, so the guy from Israel should really consider subscribing. You get to see every single game, playoff included.
I always watch the Kings the day after they play, because when they play on the west cost they play at around 3.30-4.30 am here in Italy, on the east cost at 1.00-2.00 am.

I was very pleased with the manner of the win, not just the win. Took care of the ball, played tight D. Rudy played within the offense, didn't see too many forced jumpers. He won't shoot at that percentage every night though. If we play like that every night we will be a .500 team. Complete reversal of the opening night debacle.

I usually come into work early to catch the Kings game live (around 11 AM here) while doing the mounds and mounds of requisite Japanese paperwork. Consequently, my coworkers are getting angry at me for working too much overtime.

I agree on sessions. He is not this bad.

Collison may just be that late blooming PG. He was very good for the clippers. I think we can throw out his previous starting attempts. He certainly looks ready to be a major contributor. He'll never score like that last guy, but he's better at basically everything else. I'm by no means saying he will ever be a Steve Nash, but some guys, especially pgs, just take longer to reach their potential. Took nash 7-8 seasons to become the guy we remember.
