let's go kings!!!! Cousins already picked up a foul

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Is it just me, or does it look like Beno has completely checked out? Nelson going to the basket unguarded 3 times in a row.

not to mention his once reliable mid-range jumper has been off too

or maybe hes not nearly as quick as nelson, and to say that because of 3 plays is dumb. beno has been giving it his all all season

i just said his jumper has been off, i didn't call him garbage

Obviously he is not as quick as Nelson, but Beno has been pretty terrible since Evans went down. He can play much better than he has been, I've seen it.


On the game though, As a team we have a lot more energy tonight. We are running, which helps when you dont have an offense.

 

[annihilator_33]

uh oh....jermaine taylor is heating up

 

[annihilator_33]

wow 30+ point quarter without reke, not bad

 

[Sluggah]

Kings are actually executing properly. Feels weird.

 

[annihilator_33]

nice block by thompson

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

JT is workin hard out there.

 

[Block Party]

Jermaine Taylor is making me think we don't need Marcus Thornton.

 

[jalfa]

Well, that couldn't have gone much better. There were a couple of minutes, where the Kings took some utterly stupid shots, but I'm very glad the patience has returned (coincidentally that happened right after westphal took out boogie for a little talk), I like it.

sooo, Head saw Omri (who's been playing awesome) wide open and decided it was a better idea to throw the ball away? and then he takes that ridiculous shot, although it, admittedly, went in, the next possession? I can't wait to see what Marcus Thornton can do.

 

[annihilator_33]

damn, luther head is playing so i guess he's not being traded...

 

[pupsingh]

wow luther dumbass head, casspi wide open waiting for head to pass it to him, instead he ignores him and gets blocked. casspi standing there like "wtf"

 

[Block Party]

Ugh get Head out of there...

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

I dont care about the 3 Head made. It was a terrible shot, and the play before that he looked terrible.

He is so bad. So so bad.

 

[1Havoc3]

Have u guys notice everytime Luther head screws up he always tries to redeem himself on the next possession. He is lucky that 3 went in or he would of been back on the bench.

 

[jalfa]

JT is playing pretty solid, too. Good help there, too bad he picked up the foul.

 

[annihilator_33]

damn it donte....how can you miss that freakin' dunk

 

[1Havoc3]

I knew this wouldn't last

 

[Block Party]

Donte. So much potential. So little manifestation...

 

[jalfa]

Why does Westphal always take so long to call timeouts? Is that just some "make the young guys mentally tougher by forcing them to play through those stretches" thing? Also, is there anyone else in the NBA that struggles as much getting through screens as Beno?

 

[Rockmeister]

It freaking pisses me off when Westphal never calls a timeout when the Kings turn it over 3 consecutive times and the Magic go on a run. We are not a good enough team to just play thru it. Westphal calls a timeout when its a little bit too late.

 

[rainmaker]

Head is absolutely horrible.

 

[annihilator_33]

so, i guess jermaine taylor was playing too well that's why luther head is still in the game

 

[Block Party]

Cut or trade Luther Head NOW.

 

[jalfa]

Head out, Greene out, Jackson out, please.

umm...Jackson and JT vs. Dwight Howard? This does not bode well.

 

[Block Party]

so, i guess jermaine taylor was playing too well that's why luther head is still in the game

Right? Let's reward Taylor's 11 point first quarter by benching him...
