Arron Afflalo with the Kobe 11 PE earlier this season versus the Spurs

I need those socks!!

 

[VF21]

And yes, my attention is wandering...

 

[Bricklayer]

I'd rather battle with young guys hopefully developing as the season goes and win 25 games than battle with lousy vets and win 32 games. Does culture really matter when it's "We try really hard but we still suck"

Actually, yeah it does.

Not if you never get any more talent, but it very much matters as a culture. Its why pathetic sad sacks like the Mavs continue to hang on. Its like muscle memory. You want your franchise to forget how to quit.

 

[HndsmCelt]

once again our guys are doing their Stormtroopers impression out there

 

[glassman]

With this roster?!

Come on buddy.

Not that I wouldn't mind seeing WCS and Mali out there.

Dude I get it... it's a terrible roster...

But roster aside theres some proven facts at this point... Ben is done... Koufos and cousins is not a great combo. Richardson has a chance to be a real player. Affalo is better at the 3. All these things took forever or injuries to get fix.... so Dave gets no credit... some are still not fixed...

 

[Kingsfan23]

Was that a WCS rebounding?

 

[glassman]

Divac and Ken better be on the phones right now

Divac and Ken better be on the phones right now

We're missing our top two players and four of our top eight, the fact that we are doing no worse than we have with Cousins in recent games is at least commendable to the men in white tonight.

 

[VF21]

I am developing a serious fancrush on Malachi and WCS. They get it.

 

[jcwkings]

Willie and Lawson are our best players tonight, Willie has to play 30+ minutes tonight.

They should still be on the phones

 

[HndsmCelt]

Was that a WCS rebounding?

To be fair if he hadn't grabbed it with his hands it would have bounced off his skull

 

[macadocious]

They should still be on the phones

who will they be calling?

 

[glassman]

Ok this dense coach seriously has to know that Richardson has clearly surpassed Ben. He's no where near perfect, makes bad defensive lapses but seriously.... not as many. He looks like he belongs it's as simple as that... how does the coach of the Kings not see that?

 

[Kingsfan23]

WCS rebounding

 

[glassman]

who will they be calling?

All the D-league teams.. Seth curry, the other guy the mavs just locked up. And and all the d-league teams hahaha

 

[HndsmCelt]

Watching 4 white shirts crash the boards for every loose ball is a great change-of-pace I'd like to see this every night!

Good grief. Your one-note refrain is once again getting almost intolerable.

Last game Richardson made several mistakes. Stepping out of bounds more than once, and picking up 3 fouls all in his first stint on the floor.

I love Malachi already, but lets keep everything in perspective with the hot takes about the coach. There is no rush this season for Malachi to win anything. Take your time to develop him right for once, unlike what we did with Ben.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Only this team, man...

 

[VF21]

Yeah, horrible coaching. How dare Joerger get them to tie the game?

 

[jcwkings]

WCS is a pick and roll destroyer.

 

[glassman]

Good grief. Your one-note refrain is once again getting almost intolerable.

This team is and can be intolerable hopefully one day the Kings can just be ok ... for all our sakes... on a side not good to see a line up that makes sense and a little hustle by the players...

 

[jcwkings]

WCS needs to start, Cousins needs all the help he can get covering picks and rolls.

 

[Bricklayer]

there ya go! Fight because its who we are. Even if you come up short. Just fight.

Of course tactically, wearing out the C's with a back to back coming up tomorrow with POR may not be the best thing, but I think we have to be largely about our own journey here, and let those other chips fall where they may.

 

[VF21]

Only this team, man...

We've just got to embrace the crazy and let that flag fly!

 

[Gliesian]

Our draft picks are all looking good. Is this really our team? Joerger is a miracle worker!

 

[glassman]

Yeah, horrible coaching. How dare Joerger get them to tie the game?

Oh stop... Joergers coaching got us killed to start... as always ... how do u not see that?

As soon as we matched up with only one midget vs 2 we got back into it.

 

[HndsmCelt]

I think the only consistent Factor I've seen all season has been this never-give-up attitude when it's combined with the Hustle I'm seeing out there tonight, even without DMC these guys are competitive

 

[Suicide King]

Just a little foreshadowing also. IF We somehow pull of the victory, it surely wont have anything to do with the team on the floor, or the job the coaching staff are doing.

Only way we win is if Boston loses on their own....
