27pts 10reb 6ast from our rookie. When Omri starts getting his shot back I wanna see those assist numbers climb

 

[=LarryLegend=]

F*** YEAH!!!! its been worth it!!!

 

[kingzallday]

really smart play by him to use up more time

Yea i kno. I was so surprised and happy that he did that.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

This is, admittedly, only a minor thing, but I don't like how they pencil-whipped Evans out of two assists. Both of which, incidentally, were to Thompson.

 

[Merdiesel]

Wow!!! Martin didn't shoot it the second time :O

Brilliant move on his part.

 

[=LarryLegend=]

we swept the Knicks

this means alot to me. and that is out 17th win!!! tied last year!

 

[kingzallday]

Brilliant move on his part.

Yep.

 

[kingzallday]

Reke should have had a trip double tonight but im fine with 27 10 and 6

yah i dont know why they didnt count that drive and dish to thompson for the dunk.. it was clearly an assist.

Because they credited it to Casspi.

Tyreke's new nickname should be: TEEN WOLF!

Brilliant is a bit much. Basketball 101 though -- the clock reset and you can just dribble it out -- and he made the right play. Don't think he wants that shot anyway.

 

[BigboiKingsFan]

This is making me wanna go get my Sacramento Kings Timberlands to go with my Evans jersey.

 

[Kings Fan Gerard]

Kings win Mother effer! Woohooo!!!

 

[mac]

Seriously they gave the assist to casspi?

Well all I can say is thank goodness for tyreke and martin hitting his shots in OT.

 

[SCKingsfan]

martin and evans played well together for 5 minutes. we can no longer say it has never happened.

 

[OptimusRhyme]

Wow we outrebounded them by 20 59-39..

 

[OptimusRhyme]

Because they credited it to Casspi.

I dont know how you mistake tyreke with a white jewish guy lol?

 

[kingzallday]

Lol wow they did credit the assist to casspi wtf?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

They've actually played well together for a few stretches before. What has been more consistent is that nobody else is able to when that is happeneing.

The thing to note here is in a game when Tyreke does not eat shots, Kevin can get up his shots and our offense can function decently -- there is room for that one guard out there scoring. So last game Reke only gets up 8 shots, Kevin gets up 20 or whatever, and we still score 104 (should be notes these were both terrible defensive teams of course). And this game Reke gets up a lot of shots, but Kevin is really just an afterthought out there until OT, and again we are able to score late with basically one guard scoring and the other being bypassed until that 2-3 minute stretch fo OT. The deepest crunch comes when both guys are scoring -- nobody else ever sees the ball.
