[Game] Kings v. Mavericks - Dec. 9, 2013 - 7 p.m. PST

[Honolulu Kings Fan]

If IT assists William's next shot.. do Grant & Jerry rave about Williams new pts career high or IT's new assist career high?

Nice call. Here they go

 

[Sluggah]

Apparently all we needed to do to fix the team was to gut it of all the dead weight and bloat. Go figure.

 

[miltonap]

I do not want to start Rudy Gay over Derrick Williams.

gotta start them both. jt is the odd man out

 

[The_Jamal]

Willaism career high PPG! ISaiah career APG!

 

[steelevt]

get thornton out please.

 

[Glenn]

I do not want to start Rudy Gay over Derrick Williams.

Er .... I do!!

 

[miltonap]

or have rudy play with the second unit. that would be kickass haha

 

[theclash4u5]

And he is gonna lose his starting spot in two days lol

Nah he'll start at PF or SF, depending on the match up.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Crazy turnover night for Cousins.

 

[swisshh]

Cousins gets up from the ground like an old man.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

gotta start them both.

Like hell you gotta start them both.

 

[Chubbs]

So ah,,,,Why did we trade for Rudy again? D-Will going off.

And DFC showing up tonight.

To get rid of a lot of bad players

 

[Kingsfan23]

Whose starters? I'm totally onboard with how Malone is handling the minutes tonight. TOTALLY.

I wasn't suggesting whether he do or not either way, that was more of an open question

nope

 

[The_Jamal]

Love Malone's reaction. Very Pop esq. Never happy with his teams performance.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

They called Williams that also. You don't pay a guy 17 mil to play apposition he has never played

No they didn't. They said right away that he would play the 3 and "some 4"

 

[VF21]

Gotta agree with Grant, much as I hate to say it. Absolutely LOVE that Malone is being the strict disciplinarian. The whole team is responding to him because he sets the rules, they know the rules and they know the consequences of not following the rules. This is so incredible.

 

[steelevt]

cmon put jimmer in. if he bricks a few more shots it increases the chances of dmc getting his 20 rebounds

 

[miltonap]

I think D-will deserves to start. Start them both, or like I said, bring Rudy off the bench if we really need size

 

[Entity]

Everybody wondered where the bench points were going to come from. Ladies and gentlemen I give you Derek Williams. Back pg to be determined

 

[VF21]

gotta start them both. jt is the odd man out

No you don't.

 

[Kingfanpaul]

I know there are rumors they are shopping JT, but to me he is a good fit when surrounded by better offensive players now. Dude is a workhorse, an old school lunchpail PF

I agree. I'm in no hurry for JT to leave. I like what he brings to the team, I think we need players like him.

 

[Chubbs]

we all need to remember that when he was a starter under previous coaching, there was nothing resembling an offensive system. might play into why he didnt look that great "running the team"

It's becoming more and more apparent. At least tonight.

 

[VF21]

Can we defer the Williams v. Gay debate until after the game?

 

[rainmaker]

Hmmm, when's the last time we had two guys go for 30+ in the same game?

 

[hrdboild]

From what I've seen so far, I think PDA would have watched Williams put up 29+ tonight and made the same trade. We gave up nothing and got back a productive player. We'll see what happens with the rotation, but I think what the organization is doing right now is really smart: flip what you can, when you can and bring in talent. Free agency, draft, trades. Anything and everyone is fair game as long as it makes us better.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Gay is the starter. I don't see how that doesn't happen.

Its really about Williams or JT. I mean, I would think JT would be the guy, but the reports yesterday of Gay playing stretch 4 surprised me. Not sure what to expect anymore.

 

[Sluggah]

Thanks Minnesota!

 

[miltonap]

why the hell isn't mccallum in. or jimmer, is malone that scared of them blowing this 20 point lead lol

 

[Chubbs]

They called Williams that also. You don't pay a guy 17 mil to play apposition he has never played

They might
