[Game] Kings @ Jazz - 12/21/16

[NewArena]

These back to back wins just potentially changed the entire scope of our season.

Ty Lawson the unsung hero

 

[LoungeLizard]

Gritty win!! Love it. Love the way Lawson is playing. Keep it rolling Kings!

Ty Lawson is balling lately

 

[kingsboi]

whew...what a fantastic win. I had them pegged dead in the water after the 20 point lead. Ty Lawson is the game MVP here, he helped Boogie out when Gobert had him on lock down

 

[whoopdeedoo]

Cousins has been bad...

Dumb shots.. dumb body language..

I'm out.. tried to watch a little

Any chance I can convince you to stay away longer?

I think he realized he is playing for his NBA life right now, time to play for that contract.

*Runs through thread high fiving everybody.

Are we seriously about to be tied for the 8th spot after today? The Blazers are getting blown out.

Btw... Blazers down 22 at home to the Mavs. We stole their mojo.

 

[Larry89]

The Jazz inexplicably stopped consistently going to Hayward down the stretch and would rather have Shelvin Mack take shots apparently..

 

[SacTownKid]

That Afflalo, Tolliver, and Temple combo is a solid defensive punch next to Cousins. I saw some switching between them that for once brought an end to the seemingly endless series of open looks from three we've seen this year.

 

[dude12]

WCS also had a nice contribution tonight......maybe his best game this year

such a huge game. Major props, missing guys, back to back, playing a really good team. WOW. Very impressive.

 

[New Era]

Portland getting hammered by Dallas right now too!

I can see a nice little rivalry brewing here. Could be fighting for 8th seed... in which case head to head win last night is big.

as good teams should do. we cant expect cousins to be our only scorer. unfair to our big guy

 

[miltonap]

Wow what a huge huge win. So awesome, great job guys

 

[Gliesian]

This is just our team finally gelling. We especially see it on our second unit. Everything is going pretty much as expected. Cherry on top is a great win with Cuz playing poorly. Now what to do with Rudy?? I think if he comes back and we lose a trade should be made. And package him with afflalo. YIPPEEEE!

 

[Jimbob]

Are we better without Rudy?

 

[ockingsfan]

Btw... Blazers down 22 at home to the Mavs. We stole their mojo.

If blazers lose tonight, we will be in a 3 way tie for 8th playoff spot with Portland and Denver!

 

[206Fan]

Collison needs to get demoted to the bench.

I've been down as **** on this team, but I said this as the start of the season: If the Kings role players can step up, we will win.

• Lawson 19pts 5asts
• Temple 11pts 2asts 2rebs
• Tolliver 6pts 7rebs
• WCS 5pts 5rebs
• Afflalo 8pts 3asts 4rebs

Why can't they play consistently every night? Cousins and Gay will always get their points no matter what, now, we just need everyone else to contribute some. As much as people hate Gay, the guy will make this team so much better than they are right now.

 

[Larry89]

See, you don't need multiple players to create offense on their own sometimes, you just need good fundamentals like good screens, cutting, moving without the ball and passing. Oh and play defense and hustle.

Nah, Afflalo has actually shown flashes over last couple of games. Plus we can cut him this offseason and use his money for Bogdan

 

[whoopdeedoo]

Ty filling in admirably as the #2 scorer with Rudy out.

 

[206Fan]

Are we better without Rudy?

No. We won today because of our bench, not our starters. We are better when our bench steps up. They just haven't been able to do that consistently enough. When we have Rudy back, it takes away at least 25% of the scoring pressure off of Cousins.

 

[The Hammer]

Are we better without Rudy?

I must admit there is a case to be made for that.

I'm not up in the trade market, but if we can get a serviceable package or a dead eye thee pt shooter... I'd be very tempted to pull the trigger.

 

[The Hammer]

Somehow, a scrappy fight for the 8th seed would fit this season perfectly.

 

[kingsboi]

Are we better without Rudy?

Let me ask you this. Do you see the Kings coming back from 20 with Rudy?
