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

[ShastaKingsFan]

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

What's interesting though, is that if guys like Orlando Johnson and/or Royce White were to succeed in their opportunity, it could help in making a team "culture" fit better, as oppossed to being Misfit. The positive feeling that can come of those types of circumstances are great...and it tends to rub off on everyone else around them

 

[cuad]

Oh my god, it's Orlando Johnson.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Rudy early exit?

What the heck is going on?

it seems to me that Coach has been pulling Rudy early in the first every game so he can put him in with the bench unit to start the 2nd

 

[Kingsfan23]

I wouldn't mind cutting the starters minutes the rest of the way. It's about the pick and seeing if guys can play and it gives IT/Gay less free agency leverage. All opinion

 

[HereWeBoogie]

a unit that plays Defense, how nice!

 

[cuad]

I love Orlando Johnson.

 

[The_Jamal]

Welcome Orlando!

 

[sdballer]

One of my favorite stretches of Kings ball this season

Yea, but that's with Cuz in the line-up. I fully expected IT and Rudy to go 40+ tonight.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

So far, so good.

 

[BamBam52]

Derrick has not progressed lately as much as I would like

8 points and 4 rebounds in the first qtr isn't too shabby, though

 

[HereWeBoogie]

I was playing NBA 2K14 with a friend a couple of months ago and he was the Pacers, his team subbed Orlando Johnson in and he scored like 30pts with him, we were both like "Who the heck is Orlando Johnson?"
so yeah, maybe a sign of things to come

 

[The_Jamal]

And I guess that's why I'm not an NBA coach. Who knew a rookie PG, a 10-day contract guy, 2 under-sized energy dudes would play well together?

You know we play again tomorrow, right?

 

[kingjatt]

so what happens if orlando vastly outplays ben?

It's amazing sometimes, what true team play can produce

 

[cuad]

Reggie Evans is ridiculous for a 34 year old.

 

[The_Jamal]

I seriously love watching Reggie play. Every damn rebound opportunity, he's in there thugging

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Start him and move Ben to the bench

 

[The_Jamal]

Orlando nice D!

Exactly. They may have been misfits but they clicked and worked together.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

once again, Reggie>JT

 

[cuad]

No Maloof stink in this lineup at all, and they're playing like really good professionals.

 

[Kingsfan23]

Forced shot Rudy. Don't make me question it

 

[The_Jamal]

Pass the ball Rudy...

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

McCallum is playing awesome right now. This lineup is scoring and defending .. who woulda thunk it? defensive minded players defending ...

 

[KingMilz]

That was my favourite quarter in ages, 5 guys giving effort that's all I care about. I can live with everything else when you have 5 guys trying and honestly of those 5 you can expect great effort from everyone every game other than Williams (playing hard this game).

Good to see OJ hit a shot early also, loving Razor Ray on D as well and we got super smash brothers in the game.

 

[The_Jamal]

Ray with a career game. Well done!!

 

[VF21]

Ray, Orlando, Rudy, Reggie and Williams. Who wudda thunk it? I'm loving it!

 

[Kingsfan23]

I know why the lakers are so bad now. No having a worse record than them
