Kings

Magic

No rhyme

No reason

Basketball?

If I were there, I'd be tempted to have a sign demanding my money back.

This is supposed to be the time that the other players and coaches rise to the occasion because they are free from the cancer who holds them back right? Kings by 20.....................................not.

So what's our starting lineup?

Do we start Willie at C, and KK plays big minutes backup? Or vice versa?

Can Trill post-up on offense (and not just get lobs from Rondo)?

And if we DO start WCS and Acy as our frontcourt as I think do (good for D), how do we compensate with some scoring punch? Collison? Belinelly? (I know...) Seth?

So many questions and issues to address...
Here are some more:
Can Rudy fill in the void in points?
Will Omri rise to the occasion?
Would the guys try to prove they can win without Cuz for once?
Will they try to show they are better without Karl? (OR is he back from his procedure already?)

Now, allow me to introduce a non-kvetching front:

Orlando is 27-36 themselves. 3-7 in their last 10. And 10-20 on the road. With Cousins there would have been a strong chance we beat this team. We would have been favored. Because we have never shown any consistent ability to play without him, all bets are off. But it should surprise nobody if we pulled this one off.

...but you know what everyone will say if we do.

Oh, of course. But given its already his fault if we lose, and therefore we should of course trade him, there is not much to lose by going ahead and winning this one and keeping the flickers of hope alive in the lockerroom. 'Fraid the erstwhile fanbase is nearly almost cause at this point.
 
Does anyone ACTUALLY believe that Willie suddenly developed a "sore right shoulder" coincidentally on the exact game after he finally spoke his mind about George Karl, and the exact game that Demarcus was suspended for speaking his mind about George Karl?

Does any gullible KF actually not see through the carpet of lies and obfuscation that is the Kings nowadays?

WCS is probable to play. He's not even listed on the CBS Injury Report for today. Unless you've seen something more recent that refutes that?

I'd say if the Kings won this game, it was because they played a team that is also under .500 and playing without Nikola Vucevic. Nothing more, nothing less.
 
I hope WCS plays like 8 minutes just to see and hear the reasons and reactions.

World, Start burning. I'm watching.
 
I love Bobby Jackson. He brings insight and personal experience and suggestions for improvement. Such a pleasant departure from the crap we've been reading in the Bee.

Yes, I'm pulled back in.

#GoKings
 
Bobby Jackson and James Ham BOTH explaining why Cousins was saying the right things but just in the wrong way. And now they start talking about WCS also trying to send a message.

Thank Naismith there is still some sanity surrounding the Kings.

Bobby J. just came out and point blank said George Karl is not engaged and is not defending his players.

Willie has played 18 minutes in the last two games. Now he's a starter.

He might start...but for the same reasons, he will get yanked out of the game 2 or 3 minutes in the game and not return. But since there is no 15, I think Karl has no choice BUT to play him extended minutes, even if he doesn't desire it.
 
Without DMC, the Kings won't even have a chance to have a fourth quarter collapse!

PROGRESS!
