[Game] Kings @ Lakers - 2/28/14 - 7:30 pm

[VF21]

Could Grant possibly be any more giddy about interviewing Orlando Johnson?

 

[HereWeBoogie]

His interviews are awkward for sure

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Maybe he's excited for a young guy who's had an extremely difficult life and family cirmumstances, who is now getting an opportunity to improve his career

I'm really rooting for OJ to stick long term for us, I really like his game.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I'm being honest. I cannot even pretend to draw on the same deep emotions about the game tonight that I had for so long. It's still the hated Lakers and I still want us to win but I don't find myself going to the extent I once did to get ready to watch the game BECAUSE it's the Kings-Lakers. Of course, it could just be that I've gotten old, too.

I get where you're coming from, but I can't agree. My hatred of the gd lakers is like a Class D fire: it doesn't go out, even if it's underwater.

We can go with that... or we can go with business as usual for Grant, toadying up to the newest player and asking leading questions that allow OJ to say exactly what Grant thinks we all want to hear.

Personally, I would have liked to hear him say he's just glad to get a chance to stay in the NBA, but maybe I'm just fed up with anything Grant Napear says or does and OJ is collateral damage.

Believe me I still hate them. I can't stop now. Remember, I was a Celtics fan before the Kings came into the picture. As I just mentioned, however, maybe I'm just in a bad mood...and hearing Jerry Reynolds talk about the brilliance that is the Lakers isn't helping any.

Good grief.

 

[Kingsfan23]

Derrick has not progressed lately as much as I would like

 

[HereWeBoogie]

wow what a play Ben

 

[The_Jamal]

offense looks pretty good. Ball is moving well.

Defense... well. Let's just not talk about it

I wonder if Jerry thinks that kind of statement will make him seem "objective" and somewhat neutral in his "analysis" of these Kings games? LOL

I wasn't aware of what you were talking about until I went to Wikipedia. After reading his bio, I wish OJ all the luck in the world. I hope we're just what he needs and vice versa.

 

[cuad]

I'm here. Don't think the Kings are.

I strongly suspect Jerry is often totally unaware of what he's said, let alone how it might be perceived.

 

[The_Jamal]

Pass the ball Rudy

Wow I just read that as well, I liked him from the SL but now like you think this guy deserves the best and wish him luck.

 

[VF21]

This game, thus far, is like watching paint dry...but without the suspense of wondering whether said paint will be darker or lighter once it dries.

Come on, Kings. Entertain us!

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Every game, JT with his stupid fouls. so irritating. Actually im glad, i'd rather see Evans anyway

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Indeed. I would also like to see Royce White get a look and a chance

 

[VF21]

Wikipedia article for those interested. Scroll down to the Personal Life section.

 

[The_Jamal]

Early exit for IT?

interesting

I have no problem with the Kings being the NBA version of the island of misfit toys.

 

[VF21]

Okay, this could be fun. Come on, Reggie and Quincy. Attack of the Beards!

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Coach not happy with IT?

 

[The_Jamal]

Rudy early exit?

What the heck is going on?

 

[sdballer]

Hoping IT was pulled for his lazy transition d

 

[Kingsfan23]

There you go ray

 

[VF21]

Is it just me or does it look terribly wrong to see our Kings in their home whites on the Staples court? NICE JOB RAY!!!!!

 

[VF21]

VERY interesting substitutions by Malone.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

How nice is it to watch a PG actually fight through a screen?
