[Game] Kings @ Raptors 1/4/2012

[Capt. Factorial]

the "Trade DeMarcus" people have sure gotten quiet lately

Trade Demarcus for LeBron AND Durant!

 

[Glenn]

DMC needs to touch the ball every trip down the court. Garcia needs to not shoot again tonight.

Then you might as well take him out. You can't predict when the shots will start falling and he's been pretty good recently playing the Reke role.

Hahaha "Raptors are looking like lizards"

 

[Hadlowe]

Regarding second quarters, our bench squad has had some big games in the second that our starters came back and squandered. These usually come against teams like the Lakers and Knicks with star quality starters and scrubby benches.

We're just super boned against deep teams like the Clippers where the quality of their bench is roughly equal to our starting five.

Toronto announcers are gushing over Cousins.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Toronto and their patented "Three Stooges" rebounding!

 

[Glenn]

(Realizing we still could lose) but, damn, the Raptors look bad.

 

[Kings Faithful]

This team that were seeing right now.... with Tyreke is awesome. Why can't we play like this every night.

 

[jaysoonii]

My dog just rolled on the floor

 

[Kings Faithful]

As bad as garcia has been on offense, he's been equally as good on defense.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Thomas with the stop, drop and roll?

 

[jalfa]

don't even take that shot IT! work through Cousins or JT. every. damn. time.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

other teams around the league better start getting very very scared. Cousins is on a mission

 

[deekay2o9]

It's nice to blow out a team once in awhile.

 

[spudfan]

The raptors RealGM board is fun to read right now. 50+ pagers of tears.

Maybe we will. A person could argue that the players are now getting used to each other. JJ is better than advertised. Fredette is better by far than last year. Somehow, the communication is far better and I think that began when a couple guys didn't accept DMC's apology. Also, several people told him in essence that he was the leader and if he passed, everyone else would pass. The passing is the major difference maker IMO.

 

[annihilator_33]

26 points 15 rebounds for Cousins so far...

By saying this, it is now going down to the wire.

 

[Fear the Putin]

keep the beast in the game please

ill agree hes played some solid D. so has JJ when he was in though

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Since I've got the data in front of me, our best quarter season-to-date was a +13. We are currently +16 with 3:00 left.

Definitely. I mean we've had an inconsistent year but we've seen 5 or 6 games of consistent basketball in a row so let the good times roll.

 

[spudfan]

Atta boy Garcia!

 

[Kings Faithful]

Maybe we'll see some honeycutt tonight.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

hopefully we see Cuz before the 7 minute mark. he has a very good shot at a 30-20 game

 

[jalfa]

okay, lets temper the enthusiasm a bit. you shouldn't be sure of anything unless the Kings have a 17 point lead with like 4 minutes left in the fourth. and even then, better to err towards catious optimism. it is the Kings we are talking about.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

10-16 shooting
26 points
15 rebounds
4 assists (could be 7-8 if Garcia wasnt off tonight)
2 steals.


all of that in 25 minutes of work. get some Cuz!

 

[spudfan]

Fish sure has found himself lately.

exactly why im gonna be pissed if i see DeMarcus sitting on the bench for too long

 

[Glenn]

I just figured out the the Raptors sign underneath each basket was painted to look like 3D. Duh!!!!! I feel very, very stupid.








Addendum: Maybe that makes me smart enough to coach this team.
