[Game] Kings @ Timberwolves - 12/23/16 - 5PT/8ET

[kingsboi]

Kings now 3-0 when Doug Christie is doing color commentary.

Did Jerry call it quits for good? or does he have that Casspi immune system as well?

Had to miss the 2nd half. Saw we were down by 7 at the end of the 3rd. What was the difference? Saw Tolliver had 17 points too, that's awesome to see him stepping up

The difference was Lawson and Tolliver stepping up by 10000x. We were down by 1pt with our bench unit, but all of a sudden, that deficit grew to like 9pts. Joeger didn't panic. He kept the bench unit in, and they started pulling through and brought it back to a 1-2 possession game again.

On defense, Barnes did an amazing job on Wiggins. Constantly forced him into tough shots. LaVine was still hot, but just not as hot.

At the end, we also get extremely lucky.... we gave up an entirely, completely game tying corner 3pt shot to KAT...and he missed. However, they rebounded the ball, and reset on offense. We left KAT completely wide open again...at that same corner 3.....but he missed...again.

Cousins was really good on offense too, but he had like 3-4 turnovers in the 4th quarter alone.

Koz on Rudy: (paraphrased) "I would challenge him. It isn't what can the team do for Rudy, it's about what can Rudy do for the team."

I think Doug is eventually going to do the away games while Jerry does the home games the Travel time cant be good for Jerry at 73

Thats what I was thinking. Jerry has been doing this a long time. He's got to be tired of the travel. Its gotta be hard on him.

I think it's even harder on Mrs. Reynolds. I think she'd like to have Jerry home more, too.

Hopefully what Rudy can do is net us something of value...*crosses fingers*

I think he still had Christmas shopping to do so did not make the road trip.

Seriously though I think they were testing out Doug possibly taking over down the line over a 3 game stretch.

On the post game, they indicated that Jerry would be back with Grant on Monday.

Agreed. Two consecutive wide open corner three's...which he is more than capable of making. Kings got very fortunate on both occasions. Sometimes you need to be lucky in order to become good.

Correct this was the last one of the three. Also Jerry and his wife celebrated their 49th anniversary #biggerthanbasketball

you can tell we REALLY wanted this tonight and im glad we did. I saw Cousins tell the team before the game, not to worry about the upcoming break and just
focus on tonight (he didn't say it as kindly) and they got it. Love the focus tonight

 

[NewArena]

I actually missed Jerry. I think we have the best announcing crew and most fans of other teams love it as well

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Hawks win! We're a game clear of Denver for the eighth seed!

 

[Tetsujin]

Wow! The Nuggets absolutely blew that game!

Now the Spurs just need to Spur!

Hamm almost flat out calling for a trade of Gay is what's best for the team

If we can keep this up, next year we may not have a break to worry about. #Goals

Christmas night games were fun

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Christmas night games were fun

And, I tell you what: people can talk that noise about the rivalry being "over," but you put Kings versus lakers on ESPN on Christmas night next year, and tell me who ain't gonna watch?

 

[Starting Five]

Tolliver had a monster game..gotta find some mintues for the guy.

Let's keep the wins coming!

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Spurs up big over Portland, with less than a minute to go. We are assured of going into the holiday in sole possession of the eighth seed.

It's a Festivus miracle!

I don't think there's any "maybe" about it. Like the bartender says at closing, "You don't have to go home but you can't stay here..."

Just to let you all know I left at the half to meet with my dad for dinner tonight since I'm out of town for the holidays. You're welcome!

I don't know about anyone else, but I am personally very grateful for your dedication.
