[Game] Kings @ Timberwolves - Monday, Dec. 17 - 5PT/8ET

[TaxMan]

Clap. Clap. Clap.

 

[Tetsujin]

I know this will be a trigger to some but did the team tune him out after the whole comment thing from yesterday?

With all due respect, this is a very dumb opinion.

 

[SacTownKid]

A little hyperbole maybe?

No, I seriously can't remember something like this.

 

[KingsFanatic]

Really? I'm amazingly not humiliated. I's a bad game. I can remember pretty bad games at times from THE TEAM. It happens, especially with the circumstances leading up to tonight. They damned near beat the Warriors, they did beat the Mavs and now they're in their third game in 4 nights (on the road) and they're tired. Had they not played the Warriors and Mavs leading up to this game, I doubt if we'd be seeing what we're seeing.

I agree 100% with you. It's easy when we've been playing so good to want to win every game and if we don't, to get mad about it, but we know that's not reality, and they are going to have tired nights where things just aren't clicking. I'm fine as well with losing tonight. Many times blowout loses like this are good for a growing team, because it makes them realize they do have weaknesses and they can learn and grow from this. Even with a loss, we are still 2 games above 500, so I'm fine with it......... You won't see 2 games like this in a row, that I can guarantee. All I ask is that the team stay at least .500 until the end of the season, and I think the team is capable of that.

What opinion? It was a question.

 

[SLAB]

I’d honestly rather lose a game like this than the GS debacle.

I’m just laughing at the inept play instead of raging at what could have/should have been.

No dude ......no

 

[chief bromden]

I remember when halftime scores were often 48-44... seems like longer ago then a couple years though

 

[Livinthedream]

This game is stupid.

 

[kingdivac]

There's losing and then there's this.....I didn't think they'd win tonight, but this is way off....

 

[TaxMan]

Probably not now, but they weren't down 50, or even 30 at that point. Usually, even Joerger gives it another shot. Actually this is about as un-Joerger as you can get. He's the coach that will stick with a failing unit after a time out and give them a few more plays to work it out.

I think he realizes these guys are now starting to get to another level....less about teaching a young team lessons at this point and more about doing what he sees as best for a team in contention for the playoffs this year.

 

[Gliesian]

I really liked Joerger's decision to put in the C team so early. I'd enjoy this game much less if he waited until the late third quarter.
I'm surprised that Thibs is playing his starters so much.

 

[luckytkp]

Let’s put it this way, this is probably the only game you will ever see Ben/Skal/Giles playing together.

 

[The Hammer]

Koz is hilarious. omfg

The fact they're losing so badly means it's an outlier. You shake it off and move on.

 

[Tetsujin]

What opinion? It was a question.

Because the comment in question was blown up by random people on the internet who only bothered looking at the text of a short excerpt of a larger statement without bothering to listen to the audio and then randomly proliferated to float whatever the hell narratives people care for.

I respectively disagree. I would rather watch our team play well - which they did against the Warriors - than play like trash. Again I am not fretting that we are having an off night, but I would rather be entertained than bored.

Hey....if they aren’t gonna win anyhow, F it. Let’s go down in spectacular glory.

1- Thibs is an ass
2- Thibs is going to run his starters into the ground again.
3- Thibs playing his starters way too many minutes led to D-Rose breaking in the first place.
4- If one of his starters gets hurt in this blowout, it's his fault.

 

[VF21]

Can you imagine the TWolves fan if the Kings do manage to come back and win this? I doubt if Thibs would make it out of the arena alive.

 

[rainmaker]

No, I seriously can't remember something like this.

Do you want Mason and Ben to get good contracts in China or not?

As for the rest of the team, reality checks are good every now and then. Go thru this and next time you won't come out looking like you were hitting the clubs till 5 AM.

 

[Cojc]

You folks just don’t get the game plan the coach is using.
Throw all of our bench players at them in the first half and tire the opposing team out and install our starters back in in the 3rd quarter and come back and win

That may well be, but my post still didn't remotely state an opinion so there was no "due respect" needed.

 

[steelevt]

114-110 Kings. Saying it now

I’m an ultra-sore loser when it goes down like it did. I hate it so much. Lol

I can’t wait til he goes completely bald, only wears grey suits, and his players privately refer to him as Dr. Evil

Dude, there are two headlines you can expect after this one. "Frank Mason and Ben McLemore's contracts extended", and "Dave Joerger Fired". Take that to the bank.

I see what you did there....trying to sneek in a little optimism post that we can all look back on in a few years (“remember when VF21 made that crazy halftime statement of that miraculous comeback in Minnesota?”)

Wait, what?

This would totally pee me off
