[Game] Kings @ Hawks - Thursday, Nov. 1 - 4:30 PDT

[Kingfanpaul]

If the Pels beat Portland tonight, the Kings will be sitting in the 4th spot in the west. I know it's extremely early, but whaaaaat.

Including PapaG?

Speaking of PapaG. Refresh my memory how did Vlade do in that trade?

Hassan Whiteside 2.0

Everyone keeps bringing up Whiteside but if there was ever a player who needed a kick in the butt it was him. He had to be cut and realize that he had to get his @#$%^&* together.

Vince Carter probably thinking damn I joined the Kings a year to early could have been the starting SF this season.

I’m thinking he’s probably glad he’s not out there running at our pace

It's an incredible feeling. And what's even better is to see so many OLD school KF peeps checking back in.

i hope to see more of them returns back as active contributors and bring back to this forum their quality contributions we enjoyed before they decided to leave. I have been with them before, this ride will be more meaningful if we all can get together. Go Kings!

Kings playing so well that even Chuck is getting on the bandwagon

A fantastic recap of last night's game, at

Exactly. Without adversity and some time staring failure in the face with decisions to make, Whiteside never becomes the Whiteside he is today.

Sorry Fox i was wrong.Greetings from Serbia.

 

[OptimusRhyme]

Bogdon is expectd to be back for the Raps game on the 7th!

 

[SacTownKid]

He took a chance. It didn't work out and he pulled the plug. Absolutely no shame in that whatsoever.

And hindsight is 20/20. It was slim pickings past 7. I think it was better than taking Chriss at 8.

Including PapaG?

Ahh... yes... the old trick of using imperfection as an argument against success. Wrong mindset tbh, imo and imho.

 

[AL/kfan]

Seems like old times.

Chriss was used as a cap dump in a trade with the Rockets; who also declined his option. Skal will be in the league longer than Chriss will. Let that sink in

Even if skal, and papa wash out, we still won that trade with Bogie as a return

Shumpert is gonna lead the team in talking crap.

It is part of the game. We have a bunch of nice guys and need some edginess. It is an advantage most of the time.

Vince came out of the lineup shaking his head and thinking "Man these guys are fast. I am getting too old for this pace."
Charles Barkeley's comments are like music.

 

[Ozymandias]

To me the most puzzling part of the PapaG selection remains; why was he so damn high on their board? I guess the world may never know.

Specifically Ivica Zubac who actually fell to the 2nd rd, what put PapaG so far infront of him?

Oh yeah this team needs it. he thrives on that type of stuff too. I can't help but think that Bjelly and Shump combined have given this team a bit of a Joe-Ingles type of grittiness with the high-percentage shotmaking, pesky defense and vet presence.
