[Game] Kings v. Hornets, 1/25/16. 7PM PST, 10PM EST.

How was that last shot Collison's fault? He got handed the ball with a couple seconds left on the clock and was in no position to get a quality shot.

Blame him for the missed three's but that last shot wasn't his fault.

Not really sure what the play was supposed to be...I would of rather taken a chance at Rondo driving to the rim and floating the ball up or something of that sort.

 

[Livinthedream]

I think Daniels just hit another three....

 

[funkykingston]

The really bad news is that a loss tomorrow puts Portland in a tie for 8th with the Kings.

Hard to expect a road win on the second night of a back-to-back, especially when the first game goes to double OT but that's what I have to hope for.

 

[White_Chocolate]

I'm officially tired of Marco. Can't imagine having to see him for another 2 seasons.

He looks completely lost out there. I really don't get it. If he is not hitting shots he should not be playing period. Play McLemore or Curry over him they both can do more outside of shooting. I especially would prefer seeing McLemore in. I am getting tired of it.

 

[The Hammer]

Honest question though, on an important defensive possession with the game on the line, isn't keeping Collison in at SG kindof asking for it?

Yes.

Can't remember, was Anderson in there?

If not, should have been. Or Curry.

 

[kingsboi]

Important how we come out to play the Blazers. This game is over. Everyone will be beat up. Possibly no Rudy. Dig deep and start another win streak.

Well considering how Portland likes to shoot the three ball and the Kings just gave up how many three point FG's in this one? I don't like the chances here, especially on a back to back. They are going to be gassed.

 

[The_Jamal]

In just about every scenario on that shot, the best case you can hope for is a guy instantly throwing up a 35 footer. It was a terrible shot, dude just hit it.

McLemore is back in the dog house for some reason.

I think Mclemore is done here. Even though he still hasn't been outplayed by any SG on this team in 3 years.

exactly. That was a terrible shot, with all that time left too. I'm sure his teammates were thinking what the hell are you doing, shot went in....HERO!!!

 

[enigma99a]

once rudy got injured the game was over

 

[Peter_Gibbons]

In usual kings fashion, we lose the one we're supposed to win and win tomorrow when no one thinks we would.

 

[hrdboild]

It's a shame we didn't get the win because Cousins going (holy crap) 21 for 30 is going to be overshadowed a little by the way the game ended. He has ascended to MVP level. I've seen it happen throughout the league for other players on other teams. You know it when you see it. Make no mistake about it, Cousins is there now and he's not coming back down for a looong time.

 

[Hoovtrain]

Highly entertaining game but bad loss. CHA was without Jefferson and Gilchrist, had no answer for Cousins, could not even score for s large part of 2nd OT and then coupled with the fact the Kings were closing in on .500 and are headed out for a huge road trip. Very disappointing

 

[ElRey]

McLemore is back in the dog house for some reason.

He couldn't defend Charlotte's backcourt...

 

[Ron]

Wow, what a heart breaker.

If there ever was an unfair L...
SSOOO proud of this team though.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

What a waste. Cousins has to be fit to be tied.

Three times in the Sacramento era, a Kings player has scored 50 or more points. All three times, the Kings lost the game.

oh man the kings are gonna get run out of the gym tomorrow. I wish we could at least pretend we can defend the perimeter.

 

[Merdiesel]

McLemore is back in the dog house for some reason.

Well than ****ing trade him. What is the point of letting him rot on the bench while Marco kills rally after rally?

eh, **** it. Goodnight guys. Cousins deserved the win tonight. Lets start another streak tomorrow. Go Kings.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

He couldn't defend Charlotte's backcourt...

Good thing we had defensive powerhouses Darren Collison and Marco Belinelli, then!

 

[fansinceday1]

Those 3 missed free throws at the end killed us. Absolutely killed us.

 

[kingsboi]

He couldn't defend Charlotte's backcourt...

Could anyone?

 

[White_Chocolate]

He couldn't defend Charlotte's backcourt...

He was 2 for 3 and a +8 in 16 minutes. Sounds like he was really blowing it out there.

 

[Tetsujin]

Good thing we had defensive powerhouses Darren Collison and Marco Belinelli, then!

Yeah but Marco takes up the other team's best defender or something.

 

[kingsboi]

oh man the kings are gonna get run out of the gym tomorrow. I wish we could at least pretend we can defend the perimeter.

McCollum is going to have himself another good game just like he did when he came to Sac.

 

[Blob]

I feel like you gotta attack the rim on that play then you get guys helping and chance for tip.... I don't know sad defeat.

Troy Daniels geez louis guess someone had an extra bowl of Wheaties for breakfast.

Dude was averaging 4.5 points before he decided to go all Steph Curry.

I wonder if there are any NBA rules about players keeping their nails clipped? Because there should be.

Kudos to Boogie. One of the best performances not just by a Kings player but one of the best performances I have ever seen by any player.

 

[ElRey]

Good thing we had defensive powerhouses Darren Collison and Marco Belinelli, then!

Nobody could! Why did you think even Anderson played? Karl was searching desperately for someone who can defend those Charlotte guards!

Again We need to find a perimeter defender somewhere...Vlade?

 

[sdballer]

He couldn't defend Charlotte's backcourt...

As opposed the the job the other guys did when he was out?

 

[Mad D]

We as fans could play the what-if scenario all night:

What if Cousin's didn't get that technical? What if Rudy was able to hit those 3's? What if Ben played instead of Marco?

I feel that the team was beaten by an insanely hot hand. That's its. I'm just glad this team is giving us something to care about again.

 

[kingsboi]

Good luck with all of that. Teams aren't just giving them away.
