Bizarro World

[Jeremy Fraser]

Will be interesting to see what Corliss can do

 

[PurpleHaze]

Wha da nean? Hick-up... Klings nut da glame... Burp... Nut da beerrrzzzz...

Cavs over/under 130 points? career high for maybe Shumpert 0r Dellavedova

 

[Iced Espresso]

We need to start a "Troy Daniels" award or certificate.

My prediction is JR hits 9 threes, and scores 35.

There was a Tony Delk/Luke Walton award sometime ago but I think I am on board with starting the annual Troy Daniels scrub alert

I actually genuinely like this idea.

Let's do it.

 

[funkykingston]

I'd normally give the Kings a puncher's chance since the Cavs are still in a transition period and have dropped two of their last three, one of which was a home loss to Boston.

But the Kings played Chicago and Brooklyn when they were sputtering and found a way to lose. In fact, the Kings are the only team the Bulls have beat in their last five games and the only team the Nets have beat in their last seven.

I know George Karl thinks the team is playing good basketball and just not winning but I can't see it that way. They are giving up way too many points (especially to start the game) and forced to try and claw their way back. If they do that against the Cavs it'll be a blowout.

 

[Peter_Gibbons]

Rudy Gay will be playing tonight. That helps.

 

[SLAB]

Shumpert will be the scrub that explodes.

JR Smith will also get his, but that's to be expected because he's a shooter and there won't be a single King within 15 feet of him at any given moment.

Wonder if Cuz will even bother effort with Mozgov and TT.

 

[VF21]

Doug Christie gets it. His pre-game discussion of the Kings was spot on, with the ultimate focus on DEFENSE, DEFENSE and more DEFENSE.

Damn it. #GoKings

 

[SLAB]

Rumor has it this LaBron dude is pretty good? Can anyone confirm?

 

[VF21]

I know George Karl thinks the team is playing good basketball and just not winning but I can't see it that way.

I could not believe he actually said that. If it's truly what he believes, he needs to just step aside and let someone who isn't delusional take the reins.

I saw his debut in Arco. I think he's over-rated, and he's just been lucky.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

LeBron James has already passed Kevin Garnett on the all-time scoring list this season, and G-Man says he's 38 points away from passing Paul Pierce... It's got to be a kick in the ass to get passed up on an all-time list, while you're still playing.

 

[Sluggah]

I didn't even realize Kyrie was back.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Speaking of passing people up, DeMarcus Cousins has already become the Sacramento-era rebounding leader, and is nineteen boards away from tying Lasalle Thompson for sixth on the all-time franchise leaderboard. That's as high as he's going to get this season, but he should pass Jack Twyman for fifth next season.

 

[VF21]

Officials tonight:

Rodney Mott
Leroy Richardson
Scott Twardoski

 

[SLAB]

I hate Cleveland's color scheme so much. So so so ugly.

Here's the quote and the author's comment to it:

"We're in a losing mode," Karl said. "We're losing games, but our basketball has not been bad basketball. It's been not good enough to win basketball, which happens in the NBA every night. Just because you lose doesn't mean you don't play good basketball."

The numbers don't really back him up, especially defensively. Sacramento has allowed 111.3 points per 100 possessions during this 1-7 stretch, 6.4 more than it was giving up in its first 43 game

[Larry89]

Is ben injured or something

 

[SLAB]

James Anderson is awful. Is this established yet?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

So, looks like we've decided that fouling = defense?

 

[Sluggah]

The little things aren't yet going our way. Probably distracted by Kevin Love's hair.

It seems clear that Karl makes no note of defense. I guess we all knew that but this is another example.

 

[Larry89]

Thats not a foul

 

[funkykingston]

Is ben injured or something

He and Rudy were both listed as doubtful for the game so I'm guessing yes.

 

[NewArena]

this lineup is disgusting

 

[Rockmeister]

I am still at work, however looking at nba, Belinelli is finally making some shots. Has scored 8 points so far in the 1st quarter.

I know. That's why I said I couldn't believe it when he said it. I was doubting the validity of the quote as much as I was doubting the sanity of the person who said it.
