Grant on says no JT but Smart in radio interview with G-Man says he may suit up and play ??? Donte starting.

 

[Glenn]

JT was seen limping getting off the bus. I hope Hassan and TWill get some minutes. Not sure what the rest of the season is for if not to work out these two guys and Honeycut if possible.

I just plugged in what was in the game notes on Kings.com.

Guess we're not a huge road draw...

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Guess we're not a huge road draw...

We're not even a good home draw.

On 26 Mar 2000, the Kings lost to the Lakers 90-89. Webber led the Kings with 28/15/8.

Memories...but you probably want to change the thread title.

true

 

[annihilator_33]

strong start for Cousins against Dalembert so far....

 

[The_Jamal]

It's a funny thing when everyone gives a **** on defense

 

[The_Jamal]

holy crap. 16 PPG higher in March than we were in Dec/Jan

 

[The_Jamal]

What a concept! Using our speed, youth, athleticism on both offense and defense!

 

[Glenn]

Daly and Cuz shared a giggle at the beginning. Daly just fouled Cuz but grabbed him so he wouldn't get hurt. They get along. Sigh!

 

[Spike]

In the year two thousaaaaand!
In the year two thouusaaand...


(it's ok. I know you run on military time. Chill.Mad Men is back on )

Hm. So THAT wasn't the issue...

 

[Glenn]

WTFs going on.

 

[annihilator_33]

nice sequence....reke with the block, greene with the put back dunk

 

[rainmaker]

Reke is all over the place defensively, and should have about 5 asts. He and Cuz and Donte came to play tonight. Donte looks very good early on.

 

[Mad D]

Reke just blocked the F out of Scola.

Team is playing like they are having fun. Running and dunking everywhere.

 

[The_Jamal]

Holy ****, Reke playing like he's LeBron

 

[Glenn]

Hm. So THAT wasn't the issue...

er, silly man, never thought it was.

 

[rainmaker]

Hou starting to attack MT on D

 

[Spike]

er, silly man, never thought it was.

Yeah, I know. I suspect the main reason is no longer in town, but I guess we'll never know. I say we enjoy what is going on.

 

[Glenn]

Good idea ....... and I AM!!!!

Saw it last night: the scene where Joan got emotional in the office made the whole thing worth watching. Feeling the Dusty Springfield at the end, too.

 

[annihilator_33]

wow....20 of the kings 24 points are in the paint

 

[Fear the Putin]

tyreke is picking everyone's pockets today

 

[rainmaker]

There you go MT, forcing your 9th shot of the quarter. Of course the charge takes the attempt away though.

 

[PurpleHaze]

That last possession by Kings was horrible - but at least it couldn't ruin a good 1st Q. MT had the ball with around 23 (his #!) seconds left and instead of setting up the offense dribbled aimlessy looking down at floor instead of up for first ten seconds. Then when he finally decided to take it in iso no Kings players were part of whatever play might have been possible - with some talk or MT directing traffic. Result was a charge - poor execution.
