[Game] Kings v. Grizzlies - 12/31/16 - 2PT/5ET

[Glenn]

Skal is not showing enough in Reno to suggest he should get non-garbage NBA time.

That's why I said it was impulsive. The team has looked sooooo bad I'm not sure (at times) what the difference it would make. You are right, of course.

 

[Gilles]

Noticed this in the last game, but Marc can no longer handle Boogie physically deep inside after clearly dropping weight as a precaution.

 

[Glenn]

How about you talk about the 5-10 times DMC gets mugged a game and doesn't get a whistle? Oh, no? That doesn't fit your narrative? My bad.

The mute button is looking awfully good right now.

Somebody has to use it.

 

[jcwkings]

Cousins biting too much on Gasol fakes. Make him take a contested jumper instead of bailing him out.

Not at all and it surprises me.

 

[VF21]

This lineup doesn't suck.

 

[Glenn]

We need a consistent three point shooter like Klay Thompson or someone like that.

(1 of 2) Barnes grabs his ribs after the contact below the basket. He reinsured them in Portland and puts heat pack on during TOs….

(2 of 2) Injury goes back to the preseason when he strained them early in training camp. He was limited much of October

 

[Glenn]

This lineup doesn't suck.

Any lineup with Boogie in it seems to be at LEAST OK.

 

[VF21]

Say what you will about Mattie Barnes, you cannot fault his heart or his passion for the game.

I hope the insurance pays a lot. The trouble or good thing about this kind of injury is that you can play with it and it only hurts when someone jabs you with an elbow.

Wait, he was able to take out insurance on already-injured ribs? What insurance company takes that kind of risk?

Also, he has a guaranteed contract this year and a player option for next year. What exactly is he insuring?

 

[SLAB]

Grant and Jerry just salivating at how amazing the NBA officials are. Smh

"The refs should run up to a player and complain when they miss a layup." STHU...

Insured s/b injured. I didn't correct her typo...

I'm sure it was a typo, gentlemen. But yeah, at first glance I thought the same thing. Still funny.

Oh. That makes a lot more sense.

Apparently, today is not my day. 2017 is on the way, though!

We are talking about in comparison to Cauley-Stein

I just enjoyed the fact that someone else had an Emily Litella moment.

Lawson will not return today vs. Memphis.

Can Labissière play center? I thought he was supposed to be, like, a homeless man's Kevin Durant, or something?

That must have been one hell of a shot to the bean he took!

[dude12]

Lawson not returning is going to hurt.....fortunately DC is playing better this game

 

[Capt. Factorial]

So Collison better be catching his breath now, because he's going to play most of the second half.

 

[VF21]

Kayte Christensen ‏@kayte_c 1m1 minute ago
Ty Lawson x-rays inconclusive but he will NOT return. He will undergo precautionary cat scan to rule out a facial fracture.

He's listed as a PF/C.

 

[Glenn]

They are worried it may be a facial fracture.

I would love to watch film with DeMarcus just to see what he says when he sees plays like that that are obvious fouls

The refs had to call it, but it looked like Gasol might have pushed him into Conley, which I think is what Cousins was arguing.

Are we ignoring the pretty obvious forearm shove from Gasol to the back of DMC?
