Kings @ Blazers, 1/25/11

[rainmaker]

Looked like a charge.

 

[Tetsujin]

Blazers found out the only to stop DeMarcus is to get him in foul trouble.

 

[gunks]

Ugh... Cuz is the posterboy of flop fail

 

[ArcoKings]

See you in the third quarter, Cuz.

 

[PurpleHaze]

I think Coach is starting to trust Cuz a bit more with fouls. Of course doesnt want him to foul out but I think he might be back a couple more mins before half. He looked a bit winded just before he picked up that 3rd one. Maybe if coaches would have seen that they could have given him a brief blow before that last foul.

 

[ArcoKings]

the freak

 

[rainmaker]

Still don't think Westy should have brought Cousins back in so quickly. Why bring him back in the 1st with 2 fouls? It wasn't for offense as an above poster suggested, because he kept him in to start the 2nd.

 

[gunks]

Reke is feeling it.

And I have to admit, Donte is outplaying Omri this game. If only he could hit a shot.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Donte has played 10 mins with only 3 rebounds and 2 assists to show for it, but I think he has played really well.

 

[ArcoKings]

Anyone know if the NBA prohibited the Kings from using black uniforms? I thought I read that somewhere a while back?

 

[ArcoKings]

Nice defense.

 

[Tetsujin]

The spirit of post knee death Roy has fused with the spirit of last years ROY

 

[gunks]

We settle for jumpers as Portland takes it inside

SIGH

 

[TheWileyVet]

Come on Kings pick it up

 

[PurpleHaze]

Donte has played 10 mins with only 3 rebounds and 2 assists to show for it, but I think he has played really well.

I noticed in that quick sound bit from Westphal he mentioned energy, production of his main bench group, Dalembert, Landry, Pooh and Casspi (starting tonight for Cisco) - but he pointedly did not mention "Greene." I think he still feels Donte is too inconsitent - which he is. The only real question is who can deliver more at SF night in night out - Greene or Casspi.

I think it really depends on what you mean by "deliver"

 

[rainmaker]

Is Carl auditioning for his next team?

 

[Tetsujin]

Pryz kinda sucks now.

 

[ArcoKings]

Is Carl auditioning for his next team?

Seems like it.

 

[gunks]

Would sure be neat if we could keep the Blazers off the offensive glass

 

[ArcoKings]

Darn. That was close. Won't count.

 

[PurpleHaze]

As usual Kings do not close out the half strong. Hopefully, they don't repeat that broken record at end of the game tonight. Kings lead by 2 over Blazers at halftime.

Anyone know if the NBA prohibited the Kings from using black uniforms? I thought I read that somewhere a while back?

The NBA has veto power over uniform colors, and they limit the number of teams with black uniforms.

 

[PurpleHaze]

What the hell is wrong with Jason Thompson? Completely invisible in first half!

 

[gunks]

Please pass to a guard Cuz. Please please please.

 

[Tetsujin]

According to the Blazer announcers, Cousins is ok but hes no Daunte Cunningham

 

[D13]

JT can absolutely NOT finish a dang layup...

 

[Tetsujin]

DeMarcus is too talented.

 

[annihilator_33]

casspi!!!!!!!

 

[Tetsujin]

Vlade-style flop.
