[Game] Kings @ Nuggets - 2/23/16 - 6 PT, 9 ET

[Boogie_Fever]

To be fair, when you have a decent size lead the obvious plan is to push the pace and give up the long ball

Lol

Cousins would have had 45+ if he got the calls he deserves.

He's really matured this year. Doesn't complain as much and has been making smarter plays at the end of games.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

what was the +/- with Marco and Casspi in there? Barton went off when Marco was in there for that extended time...Ben was in the dog house for the second half practically

Too bad he was so "invisible" that he had to be replaced by the "visible but preposterously ****ty" Belinelli.

one of boogie's best games ever.... Top 10 probably Top 5....and Karl did something right by putting Willie into game with 5:00 left... I don't know how many times Willie has been on the floor in crunch time....but it needs to start happening every game.....and love the left handed hook....sweet!

And Boogie defended their PG better than our PG defended their PG!!!

 

[dude12]

Will take the win...thought that lineup that blew the lead n the 4th was going to cost us.

 

[Im Still Ballin]

The next 8 games will be very tough. This will either make or break our playoffs hopes.

If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times. I don't care if Marco misses 3x as many shots or doesn't play any defense, his confident confidence and savvy experience adds 8.3 points when they add in the intangible metric at the end of the game. They do that, right?

 

[Glenn]

I want to believe that's not a foul because that was just a good defensive play. Strip the ball before he gets a shot up. But I don't even know what is or isn't a foul in the NBA today. I've seen a lot less contact than that called a foul in this game.

If you swat down, it's not a foul. If you reach in, it's a foul. Pretty much. Boogie swats down a lot.

 

[Sac.1989]

When we need Defense, Karl brings in WCS - thats his sole play there.

That is as much a compliment to WCS as it is a slight on Karl

 

[Merdiesel]

George Karl's post game interview has been on for about 4 minutes and I've yet to understand a single word he's said.

I felt he should have put him in earlier. The offensive minded lineup ( I believe rondo/dc/Marco/rudy/dmc) before gave up the lead when we needed a team to defend the lead.

If you want to make a playoff run you have to win more than you lose in that stretch. Upon closer inspection some games may be easier than they look.

-Spurs could be without Kawhai and our bigs match up well with their bigs, they are tough for sure, but we are at home and they have no answer for Cousins. Game is also on ESPN so you know the team should be up for it coming of a road win.
-Clippers don't have Blake, and Jordan will have his hands full with Cousins, we always give the Clippers a good game.
-Memphis has no Gasol and traded away some of their key pieces.
-Dallas is vulnerable and has no one inside, we should be 2-0 vs them this year.
-We have played the Thunder well this season, could easily be 2-0. Home Game.
-We have to win vs the Pelicans at least once right?
-Orlando is young and has no answer for Cousins. Home game. Young teams struggle on the Road.
- Cavs can take nights off, especially on the road. We could have momentum at this point or be in a tailspin.
-2-0 vs Jazz this year, direct competitor for playoffs.

Not saying you can win all those but you shouldn't go in chalking up losses. Tommorows game vs the Spurs is actually key, it can be had, especially if Leonard doesn't play and it could spur some momentum.

Nearly as important as whether Leonard will play tomorrow is the question of whether Pop will rest anybody else, in anticipation of the back-to-back against Utah?

Please, Pop! Think about Leonard's health!
