DeMarcus Cousins not likely to play tomorrow night in Portland.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Karl must have heard about his post-game comments...

No All-Star, second night of a back-to-back, against Salty Ass Damian Lillard™. **** it, let's play spoiler one more time.

The upside to that is more WCS and more likely we keep the 1st rounder.

DeMarcus Cousins ruled OUT for Monday night

Cousins was a monster on Sunday but his owners will need to brace themselves for some rest days from big DeMarcus with the news of his foot tendinitis.

 

[Spike]

So, are we mathematically still in this thing?

 

[kingsboi]

no Boogie hopefully means lots of shots for Trill....if Karl allows him to be on the court of course -__-

 

[Bricklayer]

So, are we mathematically still in this thing?

sure: win out and we go 38-44. Right now #7 and #8 have 36 wins. So as long as at least one of them is finishing 2-7 or whatever, here we come babeee!

 

[steelevt]

I keep seeing he's ruled out but not why. Did he hurt something? Or just a dnp-cd

Nothing certain, but lots of speculation that it's because of his feet. I seriously doubt if there would be any "dnp-cd"...I suspect even George Karl's ego knows how stupid that would be.

Well, as @piksi might say, we've had plenty of DNC-CD's this year, so...

I just figured it stands for Did Not Coach.
LOL. Spot on.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Second time we've got a back to back on the road against Portland.

 

[Larry89]

Where has Piksi gone? He has not been here in a good amount of time.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I think he had to go back to his home planet.

There's only so much writing you can do about bad basketball before you just lose it and get wheeled off to the great basketball forum in the sky.

 

[Merdiesel]

I can handle Rondo, Gay and Cousins all being out tonight... But Belinelli too?!

Rondo, Cousins & Gay (Rest) & Belinelli (Sore Right Foot) are OUT tonight vs Portland.

This gave me a chuckle.

Anyways, I'm guessing we lose tonight.

Don't forget McLemore!

Collison
Curry
Casspi
Cauley-Stein
Koufos

with a bench of:
Butler
Anderson
Acy
Moreland(?)

I think Quincy should be the backup PG

 

[ArcoKings]

It's going to be real interesting tonight with guys missing.

GO KINGS.

 

[miltonap]

Mac is playing no?

 

[funkykingston]

Mac is playing no?

I think he is actually. ESPN has him listed as Out but RotoWorld has him a a go. I'm guessing ESPN just has incorrect info.

McLemore played last night, so I'd guess he'll go tonight. ESPN probably is just behind the times.

We (every NBA team) always has lots of DNP-CD's each year.

 

[LA King Fan II]

Gay has been resting for 3 months.

I think this starting lineup is a poet's dream. Alliteration! Ca, ca, ca ........ Collison, Curry, Casspi, Caule-Stein, Coufos. A song writer's delight. Kill 'em, Kings. (or Cill 'em, Cings!

It just rings perfectly with careening out of control, clanking off the iron, and coughing the ball up

GO KINGS.

Define "interesting." I'm kinda looking forward to this game because it WILL be "interesting."

Not to mention, "Coach Karl".

Coach Karl and the Kings: Collison, Curry, Casspi, Cauley Stein and K0ufos.

In the early 80s the Miami Dolphins used ot have a defense called "The Killer Bees" because something like 8 of the 11 starters had names starting with B. We can do better.

I like it but a little more positive twist sounds better to me - challenging all comers, competing for 48, and clinging to your man on defense. Hey, it's all in how you look at it.
