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

[VF21]

How unpopular are you when you (Okugie) hit the floor and the only guy helping you up is your opponent (Koufos)?

 

[SLAB]

Is it ? He isn’t able to get a rebound unless it falls right to him. What’s hilariously wrong is having a slow plodding center on a team built to run.

Plodding? Yes. Bad hands? Sometimes. Misses annoying gimmes? Absolutely.

Bad rebounder? Bad defender? Na.

Ben playing well for the Twolves

Skal should be ahead of Harry in the rotation now IMO.

And his step back three air ball says not so fast my friend!

 

[Tetsujin]

Like honestly guys, Ben is like super duper bad.

 

[VF21]

I'm glad I went to the gym right after work instead of coming straight home to this turd.

It's actually been kind of fun. When you remove any hope of a win before the end of the first quarter, you can just sit back and enjoy interacting with fellow sarcastic Kings fans.

 

[Kingz19]

Skal should be ahead of Harry in the rotation now IMO.

So is that a bigger doghouse?

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Skal should be ahead of Harry in the rotation now IMO.

You say that as if Harry is in the rotation.

 

[VF21]

Skal should be ahead of Harry in the rotation now IMO.

So 11 instead of 12?

 

[Tetsujin]

BEN, STOP SHOOTING

 

[VF21]

Like honestly guys, Ben is like super duper bad.

I am shocked and stunned that you would say such a thing.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

To make it worse I switched to Minny's feed and their announcer are running their mouths about how meaningless it is to blow out the Kings.

Ok jerkwads, we just came from Dallas and our garbage unit is in. Pat yourselves on the back because your coach is an idiot and your team is capped out, has no future and will never advance beyond the first round of the playoffs.

Stauskas?

I have some extra salt, if you'd like some.

 

[Tetsujin]

Stauskas?

Nik at least seems like he'd be able to make an open shot every once in a while. Ben seems to be actively missing.

 

[VF21]

Stauskas?

McBen makes Sauce Castillo look like an All-Star.

And Ben misses the open dunk...

 

[The Hammer]

This may not belong in the game thread:

But Vlade and Joerger have a fantastic relationship and that is one of the best things about our org right now.

You mean, the team that has beaten you twice already this season by 11 points both times? That's the team that's meaningless to blow out?

 

[SLAB]

McBen just made a free throw, seeing the ball go through the round thing will surely give him confidence to make some buckets!!!

 

[steelevt]

Skal and Ben deserve those DNPs. Especially Ben.

Giles has something to give.

6 fouls?

 

[Tetsujin]

I'm assuming this is Ben's last hurrah before we cut him to promote Troy to a full time contract.

 

[SLAB]

6 fouls?

Sandwiched in between some sweet passes, a few made shots, and also a blown defensive assignment.

 

[VF21]

Wow. I keep thinking Ben's game couldn't get any worse ... and he manages to prove me wrong time after time.

Unfortunately, tonight's performance may have totally ruined any chances we had of hiding him as filler in a trade deal.

Well now they have us on aggregate. If this was soccer they'd advance to the next round.

But at least we don't have Thibs as coach and Wiggins on a nutty contract.

 

[VF21]

I'm assuming this is Ben's last hurrah before we cut him to promote Troy to a full time contract.

If his family is on the East Coast, maybe we could send him home for Christmas.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

I hope we don't prolong this game by calling any timeouts. I've got some leftover pizza that is really calling my name about now.

 

[SLAB]

Talk it up. He only performs when the score matters! A true competitor!!!

 

[Tetsujin]

Ben only being a -6 on the night is the ultimate testament to the stupidity of the +/- stat.

 

[SLAB]

4 made free throws. Dude’s on FIRE! Sprinkler systems!!!

 

[jcwkings]

I'm almost certain we're seeing amongst the last minutes of Bens' NBA career. No way any team out there gives him another look.
