Sacramento Kings @ Memphis Grizzlies
The last four minutes of the game in a nutshell.
Despite maintaining a double digit lead through the halfway mark of the fourth quarter, the game became a nail biter when, during a timeout around the four minute mark, Isaiah Thomas was bitten by a radioactive stupid person and this endowed with all the stupidity of a village idiot. When all was said and done, it took an inspired bit of coaching by Coach Malone and Rudy and Cuz being awesome to keep the game in our grasp. So yeah. That happened.
A victory is a victory but this should probably count as a 19/20ths of a victory because we sure as hell lost the last couple of minutes. Now onto to Memphis, stage two of our small forward rotation's payback tour. #HereWeDrop50PointsOnPrince
Observations
- Isaiah Thomas at half time: 6 assists. Isaiah Thomas at the end of the game: 7 assists, 7 turnovers. Not bad for a borderline MVP candidate.
- Rudy Gay is pretty good. Thanks Toronto.
- Despite having the worst first half of his entire career, Demarcus still inexplicably put up a neat 20-11 night. Can anyone say all-star?
- If a struggling Ben McLemore sprains his ankle in an amply Target Center, does it make a sound?
- Pretty sure Pekovic is actually a caveman lost in time.
- I don't think Rick Adelman ever ages. He looks exactly the same as he did when he was coaching the Kings a decade ago. There must be something in the water up in Minnesota.
- Luc Mbah a Moute did not even see the floor. Meanwhile, D-Will was his usual athletic self. Quite possibly the best in game dunker we've had since GW. Thus far, it looks like we've won that trade, no matter how much defense we lost in the move.
- There once was a man named Demarcus,
who put up the same stats as Lamarcus
But when the voting was done,
All Kings fans were stunned
because Dwight Howard ruins everything.

6:37 Prediction: Derrick Williams WILL light us up for 30 pts. Probably shoots 7 of 9 on 3's too.It just wouldn’t be the Wolves if they didn’t allow that to happen.
6:43 Ronny Turiaf #NBABallot
6:44 It will be interesting to see how Rudy Gay and Derrick Williams do All the sudden the Kings are really athletic and have a fun team to watch. With that said, good luck Wolves!
6:48 Considering the Kings are away and on the end of a back to back, we have to win this game. A loss tonight would rival our Lakers loss in failure.
7:04 the Spurs>>>the Kings even though Sacramento always plays with high energy
7:12 two steals and a layup into the bottom of the rim typical minute for Ricky
7:15 Sac's offensive efficiency has been lights out recently Let’s hope the Wolves can keep it close and perhaps sneak out a victory
7:21 Does Adelman say anything to this team before games? Like, “Focus on running your half-court sets”, “Don’t freakin throw a full-court pass when there’s no need.”
7:23 If I have to wash down a loss with Zgoda pontificating on the glory of Sacramento's "athleticism" I'm gonna get sick
7:26 Anyone here a D-Will fan? I confess I found myself checking out more Kings games when he got traded
7:35 1/2 of Williams problem is that he looks stoned all the time probably worse thaw that he’s in northern cali
7:36 What's the deal with the Pizza guys?
7:44 If only D-Will had played more minutes here.... Sigh…
7:48 Kings roster is nice They should be in the playoffs next year
7:49 Haha, wow Of course DWill does something like that against us. Too bad his team still loses.
7:58 To all the ppl predicting a blowout tonight... The difference between this Sacramento squad and the several teams the Wolves have blown out of late is that Sacramento is from the West
8:05 Cousins scores two points Wolves down by ten. Very wolvsian
8:06 Wow . . . Gray stole my 1982 hair.
8:11 Pek has 150% as many points as DMC!!!!(sob)

7:08 Even though he's kind of a known commodity, DMC feels like a wild-card tonight. As well as he’s been playing lately, and as much trouble as Pek generally gives him, I feel like anything could happen in this game.
7:11 eesh thats a pretty empty looking target center7:12 two steals and a layup into the bottom of the rim typical minute for Ricky

7:45 if only Dwill had some motivation while he was here
7:46 2 days rest vs back end of a b2b. We should be smoking these guys.7:48 Kings roster is nice They should be in the playoffs next year

8:07 It really fits him As the token doofy white guy on that team.Nice dunk, though.
8:08 Jimmer would like a word with you.
8:09 He's their token "I was taken way too high guy" Can’t be both.
8:08 Gay has 22 and Luc hasn't seen the floor...?!? Wtf, Adelman?!?8:08 Jimmer would like a word with you.
