I bet this is going to wrap up with us getting within 4 and then losing by 8-10.

The grant thing is just a running joke for tonight. It's not a premeditated agenda we push each and every day

 

[xfactor67]

I swear Omri's erratic play irritates me. i don't know if it's low basketball IQ or just playing to fast.

 

[VF21]

I wonder if small ball and pace is an ownership mandate, Vivek did fire Malone for not complying. I refuse to believe Karl still cant see that playing Rudy out of position and 3 guards is not going to work on the defensive end.

I wish it were true, but I think (from what I've seen and heard) that Vivek really is staying away from the day-to-day operations and game philosophy. What we're seeing is classic Nelly small ball.

 

[KingsCitizen]

3 shooters and a quick and long big. Seems like an ideal Rondo lead roster. I wish we steal this one.

 

[theclash4u5]

Again, why is Casspi guarding Bosh?

 

[rainmaker]

Please answer my previous question, just to satisfy my curiosity. Have you watched the game tonight and listened to the KINGS broadcast?

Yes I have, and while I'm no fan of Napear, he's not going anywhere for the time being.

 

[Entity]

Give it to Ben and belly nelly every time

 

[VF21]

I swear Omri's erratic play irritates me. i don't know if it's low basketball IQ or just playing to fast.

I believe it's the latter. He seems to outrun himself when things get heated, and tries to be too many different places at once. But, on the other hand, he never quits and he never gives up.

 

[VF21]

Thank you.

I would suspect that Vlade had a chat with Vivek and rightfully so.

 

[VF21]

Again, why is Casspi guarding Bosh?

Because Demarcus Cousins was suspended. If only Grant had bothered to mention that.

It's overall low basketball SKILL imo. What Casspi brings to the table is energy and a decent spot up 3 that's about the extent of his on floor contributions.

9 PTS, 9 REB and 18 AST for @RajonRondo. The latest leads to a @marcobelinelli trey. Kings trail 108-100 with 2:56 remaining in regulation.

Rondo ties the Sacramento-era assists record of 18 shared by Jason Williams & Reggie Theus (3x).

 

[rainmaker]

Thank you.

You're welcome.

 

[Glenn]

That was a decent game by Willie despite some real dumb plays.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

At least we didn't give up. Down your two best players, that's as good as you can usually hope for.

 

[Entity]

You know what this is first time I've seen casspi, belly nelly, and Ben together. Really really surprised Karl don't have collison instead of one

 

[rainmaker]

In general, there's two trains of thought from this game and ATL.

One, it looks like we're about to drop two completely winnable games in a playoff chase where we need any win possible. And we have no one to blame but ourselves for this.

Or two, we flat out didn't play near our ceiling last night and could have beaten a top East team, then tonight without our future HOFer, we're again not far off from beating a pretty decent Mia squad.

I kind of float between the two given it's only Nov.

 

[VF21]

Sooooooooo ... let's go Kings?!?!?!

The Kings have no business being within five right now.

 

[jcwkings]

Cousins temper cost us this, that was just boneheaded.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Just a bonehead foul. Unreal

Yeah we still got a long way to go chemistry wise. I do fear that growth is retarded by the substitution rotations

 

[VF21]

WTH? Why wasn't that a jump ball?

Where in the actual hell did that come from?

I pick the latter.
