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

[LPKingsFan]

in the end he was, but who the advisors were animating the decision are very much open to question

Sure, but I don't think he says:

"as an owner you have the right to get rid of people whenever you want"

if he thought it was just Mullin/PDA pulling the strings.

There is also the possibility that since Vivek brought him in, Vivek should have backed him as a coach. Anything less and not telling him in person was betrayal.

Fair enough. And perhaps I should not have reignited this issue which has been debated ad nauseam. But I found the quote telling.

Malone got hosed.

And before he was fired he was apparently in a situation where his GM had stopped speaking to him or working with him and the impatient owner helped push him out the door despite outbidding other teams to make him the first major signing after buying the Kings.

And since that firing the Kings have done nothing but become even more of a national joke.

I got no issue with Coach being salty about the whole deal.

 

[Glenn]

Um, could you repeat that in English?

I think some of the words he uses come from books he has read. Books? Do people still read?

All the above. Communication had ceased.

Injury Update: Casspi (Wisdom Tooth Extraction) & Belinelli (Tooth Extraction) are both listed as DOUBTFUL tonight vs Denver.

I was going to be shocked if Casspi played. Even just jumping and running after getting your wisdom teeth out would be excruciating. You don't mess with wisdom teeth.

 

[9x1x6]

Why wait until all star break to get your teeht pulled in the middle of the season? Not one but two players. This seems like the medical staffs scheduling did it.

I mean if your in your mid-late twenties, getting your wisdom teeth pulled isn't jsut a might as well do it while I have a free week kind of thing..

Oh well, the rest of the team mailed the season in a few weeks ago, **** it.

For tonight we have a team of players plus a coach and a handful of assistants so we are ready to play basketball.
If I were there for tonight's game I would give Malone, the visiting coach, a round of applause then root like heck for Karl to beat the pants off off of the Nuggets. Heart, hustle, energy, just turn it on and go to town. Go Kings!

 

[Amaranth]

With wisdom teeth it's not uncommon to be perfectly fine one day and then dying (obviously not literally) the next, especially at that age. You're supposed to get them out in your late teens/early 20s before they start causing problems, like rupturing suddenly.

 

[KingMilz]

Are they planning to retire a banner of any sort for Mike?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Um, could you repeat that in English?

"Goodness knows, I've been known to hold a grudge or two myself, in my day."

You're a lawyer now, aren't you? Maybe you just can't help yourself.

Tom Washington

On the advice of counsel, I plead the fifth

Seems Shaqesque, like I need to look for a company time meme.

Marco Belinelli and Omri Casspi are out tonight vs Denver.

 

[hrdboild]

So James Anderson gets the starting gig right?

Oh, good grief. I'm almost speechless. Almost.

If there was ever a time to play Ben big minutes, it would be tonight.

Capital, good man. Capital!

Lets go Kings! Hopefully they come out with fire tonight!

Denver has waived forward JJ Hickson, league source tells The Vertical.


Well, at least we know who won't be coming into STA and hitting a new career high.

Well I suppose we should sign him so that in theory we aren't giving Chicago the pick for nothing

 

[jcwkings]

Cousins must punish rookie Jokic, good player but not the best defender. Has never played against a player like Cousins.

 

[Suicide King]

Show me that you care. Go KINGS

Actually I think he has. And he dominated cuz. Hopefully it's the opposite this time.
