[Game] Kings v. Nuggets, 2/19/16 - 7 PST, 10 EST

Cousins is humiliating Kenneth Faried out there... and I LOVE IT!

 

[lwc]

Great defense turned into great offense.

 

[SLAB]

As much as I love DMC, that's how much I loathe James Anderson. He has to be in the bottom 5 players in the entire NBA.

 

[hrdboild]

James Anderson is the mole!

 

[upinsmoke]

I don't think I have had so much animosity towards a kings player than Anderson. He stinks!

Oh, please.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

I love DMC. Can we trade coaches at halftime?

Yeah, let's trade for the coach who keeps asking Faried to cover Cousins in the post.

 

[Glenn]

Yeah, let's trade for the coach who keeps asking Faried to cover Cousins in the post.

What are you trying to say? I suspect it's the best he's got.

 

[lwc]

I love how fired up Cousins is that Curry scored.

 

[Dbeltz24]

So a Kings coach gave up 70 points in the first half

 

[Glenn]

I love how fired up Cousins is that Curry scored.

Leadership?

 

[hrdboild]

I love how fired up Cousins is that Curry scored.

Yeah, that was a great moment. Cousins was like "alright young fella! you can play!"

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Curry>>Anderson as backup SG.

 

[lwc]

Somebody make a meme of that Cousins block. Pretty please.

 

[mac]

Watching James Anderson play is sort of proof that you can make the NBA with hustle and not much brains

 

[Npliam]

70 points in a half? What the hell is going on here?

 

[jcwkings]

Ok we all love Mike Malone but leaving Faried at C with Nurkic and Jokic on his bench is just baffling, you would think he was playing against the Warriors small ball lineup and not the best big in the league.

 

[mac]

Yeah, let's trade for the coach who keeps asking Faried to cover Cousins in the post.

Defensive minded coach that gives up 70 point halfs

 

[hrdboild]

James Anderson has had decent games before right? I think I recall one or two early in the season. He's just having one of those nights where everything goes wrong. And he's just not very good.

 

[upinsmoke]

He's an inspiration to me that my hoop dreams may still be alive.

 

[lwc]

Watching the game it looks like the Kings are playing good defense but then you look at the box score and it shows that the Nuggets shot 50% and have 57 1st half points.

 

[hrdboild]

I just realized that DeMarcus Cousins is only 10 days older than Seth Curry.
I still think of Seth Curry as a rookie even though he was a 5th year senior at Duke and also spent 2 seasons in the D-League.

Watching the game it looks like the Kings are playing good defense but then you look at the box score and it shows that the Nuggets shot 50% and have 57 1st half points.

They are playing better defense, the starting lineup with Acy was much better and it got progressively worse from there. But hey average to below average defense is a far cry from historically bad, which we saw over the last 10 games.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

A lot of those points cane when KK was in and had a tough tine defendibg the pick and roll. Otherwise, we've stepped up our defense so far.

 

[Bricklayer]

That'll work.

 

[Glenn]

I think people forget that as a young coach, Malone made baffling moves when he was coaching the Kings.

 

[jcwkings]

Ben has attempted zero shots and zero free throws in 14 minutes lol.

 

[hrdboild]

Ben has attempted zero shots and zero free throws in 14 minutes lol.

Opening the door for an "I told you so" from Bricklayer. Just go ahead and do it Brick, you've earned it.

 

[upinsmoke]

I think people forget that as a young coach, Malone made baffling moves when he was coaching the Kings.

I remember cursing at him to but never going as far as thinking about firing him.

 

[Bricklayer]

That'll work.
