[Game] Kings v. Pelicans - 2/12/17 - 6PT/9ET

[Larry89]

Er...yes he did. Scored 34pts in fact.

However, this was the early season when Davis was there, but absolutely nobody else was. Think the janitor started at SF for them that game.

If you sneezed in the crowd in the direction of Davis that game he got two free throws as well

Remember, in Kentucky there are no pro teams of any kind so the only way to establish a pro connection is either through picking a team in your youth or following college players. I did the first and was just thankful that Boogie came along at some point.

That is why the NBA when they add 2 more teams need to ensure that Louisville is one of the next cities. There is no completion at all. Indy is the closest NBA city.

Most Kentuckian's that I know have no NBA team they root for so they just follow players.

I really wonder how well an NBA team would do in Kentucky. In the part of Kentucky I live in, your a brave cat if you're to admit to liking that bird from up North. Louisville is almost like Southern California is to Northern California in terms of water rights.

The efficiency variation between our wins and losses is a lot more muted this year anyway:

Last year:
in wins TS% .585 TO 3.2
in losses TS% .502 TO 4.4

this year:
in wins TS% .569 TO 3.4
in losses TS% .553 TO 3.8

This season? We held the badly undermanned early season Pels to 94pts. Holding teams to 94pts rather than 115pts = more victories, novel though that idea may seem in the Kingdom.

Except the overall defensive execution has been lacking regardless of the intent. We are allowing 108.9 points per 100 possessions. Last year we allowed 106.3 points per 100 possessions. That's 2.6 points worse.

 

[King Baller]

We are one game better than them and they started 0-8 with all their injuries and Holiday being on leave. They are 21-25 since then.

Collison missed 8 games also to start the season. Ty Lawson was still finding his way back to form. The whole Kings team was getting used to new Coaches and System. So I think that equals out any issues the Pels were dealing with.

Does anyone besides me want to see that other Kentucky Alum Willie Cauley Stein defend the Brow? Should be a fun game

Lordy. So about two years ago Dude 1 in Willits apparently stiffed Dude 2 in Willits in a drug deal and in the process gave out a fake phone number...which happened to be my cell (I live nowhere near Willits). For a couple of weeks I was getting nightly calls between 2-4 AM from Dude 2 trying to find Dude 1, and Dude 2 was having none at all of me telling him he had the wrong number and please to go straight to hell since I was sleeping thank you very much. A bit concerned for my own safety, I spent a good deal of time on the interwebs trying to find my own address given my own phone number with no luck, so I decided to sleep easy, and eventually Dude 2 gave up. But the picture in my head of Dude 2 calling me in the middle of the night was...just about the same as that guy in the mugshot. Thanks for bringing THAT back.

Oops! Sorry.

The guy in the mugshot couldn't have possibly picked a worse place to try and hide out. This area is a very small tight-knit community. We all know each other and we know each other's families. This guy might as well have been wearing a neon sign saying "Hey, look at me. I don't belong here!" He walked into the very small gas station/grocery store and thought he would blend in? I don't know who called the authorities but I imagine if there's a reward they might have to split it about 20 ways or so.

I was about to delete this post and send you a warning about insulting other members...

Well played, Blob. Well played.

From Twitter:
The Pelicans will be without Terrence Jones (right thumb sprain) and E'Twaun Moore (personal) tonight's vs the Kings, Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry told reporters in Sacramento. Tyreke Evans, who missed the past two games with a left ankle sprain, will try to give it a go.

 

[Kingsfan23]

There seemed to be a slight delineation from IT fans and Tyreke fans of years past. I'm not a Tyreke guy. As far as I'm concerned he's the greatest disappointment of the last decade and a half for this franchise. The fact that he went from a 20/5/5, R.O.Y, to an injury prone tweener role player hurt. Set the franchises fortunes back. And I complained every step of the way about it on here til he was traded.

Aside from a certain playoff series and the injury to C-Webb, I would say the biggest disappointment of the last decade and a half was letting Rick Adelman walk.

 

[Suicide King]

Come out strong from the jump and until the final buzzer. Please.

 

[VF21]

If you live close to the Feather or Sacramento River, you should be aware that Oroville, Gridley, Palermo, Thermalio, Live Oak, Marysville, etc. are under mandatory evacuation orders. I mention the Sacramento River because the water threatening to flood the Feather will end up in the Sacramento River IF the auxiliary spillway fails. Check Ch. 3 for information.

Boogie the passer

 

[SLAB]

Cuz seems much more awake tonight. Good start.

 

[dude12]

Gentry with the T......angry cause we breathed on AD and no foul

Haha! I love the trolling. Keep doing it until the NBA takes a chill pill!

 

[dude12]

Damn turnovers

 

[Kingsfan23]

Cousins again with this turnovers/bad body langue poopoo play

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Bad body language?

 

[SLAB]

I don't agree with it, but precident has already been established. Touch face = Tech. :/

 

[glassman]

Cousins again with this turnovers/bad body langue poopoo play

He looks awful... I'm with Aaron bruski he needs to just post the freak up.... I'm sick of him turning it over trying to take people off the dribble!!! Get off the 3 pt line and use ur size. He's way more effective in the paint

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

When zero tolerance goes too far: probably a technical by rule, but that's kind of a horse**** rule.

 

[Bricklayer]

Bad body language?

Its an official statistical category if you don't like Cuz. Ranks somewhere right above points, rebounds and walking on water in importance in evaluating the player,

 

[kingjatt]

Grant says Cuz going back there to cool down jeez he could just be using the bathroom or getting retaped.

 

[Peter_Gibbons]

What did cuz do to get the tech? Not in front of TV right now.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Interesting that Demarcus went straight to the locker room I wonder if they're working on some kind of relaxation techniques, hypnosis, meditation, speed bag and gloves?

 

[giantking1355]

Cuz fighting back tears? That could be a huge internal development for him and his career/life.

 

[SLAB]

What did cuz do to get the tech? Not in front of TV right now.

Grazed Montejuntas (sp?) face when fighting for a rebound.

 

[jcwkings]

I have a hard time believing NBA wont rescind that.
