[Game] Kings @ Raptors - Sunday, Dec. 20 - 3 PST, 6 EST

[VF21]

Some defensive intensity would probably be prudent.

Kings...

Raptors...

Basketball...

 

[pshn80]

If they can correct their intensity problem of last game, play hard, play a little smarter, they can beat a good team like Toronto. Take it to 'em, Kings!

 

[Bricklayer]

Toronto is missing their two starters at the positions of our two best scorers (Valanciunas and Carroll) which makes them kind of an exact opposite challenge to the Wolves, who's best young players were right there to challenge our best players. Our guards better drop the weenie act for this one.

 

[gil renard]

I don't care what the match ups are, if the players and coaches continue to be mental midgets on the road, they'll keep taking those L's.

 

[kingsboi]

Considering that Raptors strictly rely on Lowry and DeRozan to score and initiate the majority of their offense...it's a two headed monster versus the Kings two headed monster really. Depends if Lowry is making shots or not...Rondo isn't going to guard him full time anyway. DeRozan might go off, I wouldn't blame him one bit for doing so.

 

[gunks]

If we can come out like we actually give a ****, it should improve our chances.

If Karl doesn't stink up the bench with his brain farts, it should improve our chances.

 

[KingMilz]

Post Cousins up and get Bismack in foul trouble and you have free layups from everyone for the majority of the game.

Why post up Cousins why leave him on the perimeter.

 

[Sac.1989]

because he is more dominant there, creates easier shots converts at higher %, offers greater strength as an offensive rebounder and is a greater risk of getting the opposition in foul trouble.

Especially so with Valanciunas out.

 

[Sac.Kings]

I expect we lose this one due to poor game management and poor game planning..... or in other words the reasons why we have lost 95% of our games this year.

There should be an "agree" button. Because I agree with this notion, but I definitely don't like it!

What is this "post Cousins up" fairy tale you speak of?

 

[Kingster]

I'd like to see if in the first five minutes of play we see a team that gives a damn; not lackluster D and idiotic forcing of plays on offense like against the T-Wolves. If they don't start the game with some urgency, this team is DONE.

 

[netseee]

Definitely, Kings even could not win T-Wolves, will lose this game as well

 

[Im Still Ballin]

Cover corner 3s

Don't play Rondo and Collison together

Pick Cousins spots. He's not quite where he needs to be as of this moment. He shall get there. Hopefully the finesse aspect of his inside game starts to return.

Play Seth

Hope for some free throws

 

[pshn80]

(aside) ..... and lose as usual.

I don't care where Cuz plays, please just score more points than the other team. Cuz, make your shots, play tough defense and odds are we have a good chance of winning. Go
Cuz and Kings!

 

[King Baller]

Well if the Kings reach a crunch time it would be nice to have a normal lineup instead of two small guards, two small forwards and one bad ass center who we leave on the perimeter part of the time because who needs rebounds

 

[King Baller]

McLemore needs to be glued to DeRozan.

 

[King Baller]

Rondo, Collison and Curry each have six fouls. They need to make Lowry play with their extra weight inside his jock.

 

[VF21]

Today's officials:

Derrick Stafford
Marat Kogut
Scott Wall

 

[dude12]

Just get the damn win.

 

[dude12]

McLemore should be playing close to 30 minutes this game since we need to stop Lowry and DeRozan. When we played them at home, Anderson started and made Lowry work his ass off doing a respectable job. Now Anderson has barely played and we will rely on the 2 PGs and Bellinelli to stop those 2 guys. After seeing Karl put Rondo on Shabazz, who knows what will happen.

 

[Suicide King]

For the love of all that is good in this world, please , stomp the Raptors. Thank you.

 

[Larry89]

I want to see some damn effort and hustle. Kevin Garnett at his age was still hustling the hardest out there on the court two days ago.

 

[IfAt1st]

After the horrendous disappointment in Minnesota, I see ZERO reason to believe this Kings team will get their heads out of their asses and play like their season is riding on it.

 

[SacTownGrantFan]

Last game it was better to lose close the way we did. But we need to win.

 

[Kingfisher]

I just got a good feeling regarding this one.
DMC should bring us this W. he is the key for this one. I just hope he wont go for 10 3pt attempts .
DMC and good defense and we'll get our 11th W.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Vegas odds: Favor Toronto -5 1/2 & 207 o/u Hopefully Rudy goes off, Cuz dominates, Rondo is Rondo and Lowry, DeRozan, the other Lizards mess up - instead of Kings for a change!

 

[theclash4u5]

If you looked at Jason Jones' twitter, you would think the Kings aren't even playing today
