I would keep him on the bench.

 

[c-webb1s#1]

Typical Kings

 

[Kings_of_California]

We wouldn't even be in this game without DC.

 

[ovrush]

Pretty terrible for DC there, but tough to get too down on him. This game isn't inside of 10 without him the last 5 minutes.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

We wouldn't even be in this game without DC.

Still not an excuse to not even get an attempt to tie the game.

 

[White_Chocolate]

We wouldn't even be in this game without DC.

I don't care. That is inexcusable.

 

[206Fan]

This was such a disappointing game from Rondo. Counted 2x in transition where all he had to do was pass the ball and it would've given us 4 easy pts.

Terrible decision after decision really killed our team..this along with our defensive transition in the 1st quarter.

 

[BamBam52]

BLOW UP THE CLOWN!!! Is it baseball season yet??

 

[Peter_Gibbons]

Why couldn't we play with this effort & heart from tip off?

 

[White_Chocolate]

We need some help defensively. Thibs and a few defensive minded wing players would make this a lot more bearable to watch.

 

[hrdboild]

Good news:

We scored 40 points in the 4th quarter.
Memphis needed to score 118 points to beat us!

Bad news:

Memphis scored 121 points!
Better not show your face in Sacramento again Marc Gasol!

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Why couldn't we play with this effort & heart from tip off?

The eternal question.

 

[Merdiesel]

I had to feed the kids missed the last couple minutes... WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO DMC?!

 

[dude12]

DC helped get us back in the game but AGAIN, when you need the guy, he choked it away.

 

[miltonap]

Probably broke his shin

 

[White_Chocolate]

I just want it to be 2001 again...

Marc Gasol rolled his fat ass over DeMarcus' leg and he had to be helped off the floor. Because... of course we lose DeMarcus now that Rudy is back. Of course!

[SacKings384]

Looks like MCL. I sure hope not.

 

[Showtime]

Looks like it might be more like 2003.

 

[hrdboild]

Looks like it might be more like 2003.

Too soon!

 

[Henkel]

Looks like MCL. I sure hope not.

Sure does. Hopefully it's just a contusion.

 

[sdballer]

X-rays negative. Left ankle sprain

Sigh, unfortunately it looks more like the knee than the ankle. Hopefully its just a sore knee and x rays come back negative.

 

[Peter_Gibbons]

X-rays negative. Left ankle sprain

Did they talk about if they x ray the knee or just the ankle? I would assume they need to do both.

 

[kingsboi]

Weren't people asking themselves this same exact question when they made that come back versus New Orleans?

 

[hrdboild]

X-rays negative. Left ankle sprain

Dodged a bullet. So is there any fallout from this game? For three quarters we looked like a team that had stopped caring. Memphis could get any shot they wanted. How much is one good quarter of spirited play worth at this point in the season?

 

[Kings_on_the_RiSE]

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but did Gasol dellavedive for the ball, injuring Cousins in the process?

 

[Blob]

Phew.

DeMarcus Cousins' X-rays were negative. He has a left ankle sprain.

Ankles of Steel!!!

Absolutely none. They've been down this road time and time again, they show up in spurts when they are down big and fall short. It's a cycle that continues to spin in one motion without ever fully stopping. False hope.

 

[kingsboi]

I didn't realize Cousins had to be carried off the court, I have to say though, for a 270 pound man, his ankles sure have taken a beating this season. Hell, his body has taken a beating come to think of it.
