[Game] Jazz @ Kings - 12/8/15 - 7 pm PST, 10 pm EST

I think that might be a matter of perspective...

Yep. And my perspective is that DMC gets way too much grief around here sometimes. I make the mistake of responding. He doesn't need me to speak up for him.

Does he over-react? Yep. Is it because he wants to win and wants to be out there all 48 minutes? Yep. Personally, I'm not gonna fault someone who played so hard tonight but that's just me. I need to learn to just ignore some of the other stuff - but it's probably not gonna happen.

Have a good night. I like a couple of guys on your team. Good luck against all the teams not named Sacramento Kings. :)

I understand what you are saying and I respect the fact that you are sticking up for your guy but I really think the problem is deeper than him just wanting to play all 48 or whatever. His mentality is all screwed up. He doesn't even understand that the game is OVER and they are going to win. Seriously, could you ever imagine Bird, Magic, Jordan, Lebron, etc. acting like that on an insignificant foul (which was an obvious one)? It's really just bizarre to me.
 
Damn Cousins went to his phone quickly after the game, already re-tweeted something on his account :D

Just to clarify:

DeMarcus Cousins Retweeted

The Kings needed this win for two reasons :
1) to keep pace with the playoff race
2) to give one of their competitors for the playoffs a loss.

Utah and Houston both lose tonight and the Kings win. Yes!

Fair enough. I'm not ecstatic that he's so emotional and defensive in those situations. I'm honestly hoping that Rondo can continue to be a good influence. I firmly believe that if DMC truly felt Karl had his back in some of those situations that he wouldn't always over-react. But that's a discussion for another day.
 
only took 23 games to see a game where Cousins spends more time in the paint than the perimeter. Shocking results. Open 3s and second chance points
Umm we got killed in second chance points and they had far more open 3s. We kept the turnovers low tho and shot a high percent.
 
wow, there's soooo much confirmation bias here on the backend of this thread. best to just ignore those who would rather the kings trade cousins. they will scrutinize every single scowl in pursuit of validation...

yes! i was thinking the exact same thing. the last couple of pages in this thread should be used for a confirmation bias wikipedia article.
 
I need to look into this ignore feature. They post the same stuff over and over anyway. My pages will load faster and it's not like I would be missing anything

I think you miss the nuance of the use of hermetical technique to demystify the deeper structures and their articulated meanings that can best be understood through the critical theoretical lens typified in Habermas. I know it helps explain why I see the image of Elvis on burnt tortillas.
 
Who cares about the playoffs, I would be happy if we finished with a 40-42 record this year.

poopoo I'll be satisfied with 35 wins. Progression lol

Right now, the 8th seed is two games under. 500. Therefore, if the trajectory held firm, theclash's hope-range would make the playoffs. I'm just crazy enough to belive it is possible.

Come to the happy place with me ye long -suffering Kings fan, we have cookies.
 
It was driving me crazy to see cousins plant himself at the 3 point line every single time on offense. I know its not just me cause damn near everyone around me (section 202) were yelling for him to get his a$$ into the paint. My wife finally saw with her own eyes why I've been yelling at the TV all season.

Utah lost cause they couldn't knock down their wide open 3 point shots. WIDE OPEN. Watching this team play defense in person is a whole different animal. It looked like a frantic mess and most of the time it looks to me like they have no plan.
 
We're losing because Rudy and Casspi can't rebound.

Casspi had 10 Rebounds. 10 rebounds from a small forward is not good enough for you? o_O


Why has Casspi been such a poor FT shooter this year?

He made 2/3 tonight. Why did you write that?


Casspi and Rudy are not boxing out.


Casspi and Collison had 6 open 3s... 1-6. Come on guys. Need to rebound too

I think Casspi played very good, and was one of the main reasons we won. He had 19 points including 3 3's, 10 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and the highest +/- in the team with +15.
What made you write all this stuff about him? Did he step on your tail or something? :cool:
Anyway good win. Go Kings :)
