[Game] Kings v. Raptors, 2/5/14, 7 PM PST, 10 PM EST

[Entity]

Outlaw is screwing defensive rotations up so bad right now

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

I'm ready to see Jimmer again

 

[Kingsfan23]

Paterson was a borderline scrub here...

 

[VF21]

I assume it is little lesson about the showboat dunk last game

We can assume, but it's also floating around that he tweated his ankle before the game.

 

[Tetsujin]

Also via John Santiago:
Why Adam Silver is confident that a new arena will be built in Sacramento:

"I'm confident because I've known Kevin Johnson for over 20 years. I knew him as a player, I knew him as a broadcaster and obviously I know him as a mayor now. I've sat in literally dozens of meetings with lawyers, political advisors, political leaders both from Sacramento and from California. And talking to Vivek and his partners that I'm absolutely confident that it's going to get done."

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Silver i hope you are seeing the joke officials that your league keeps sending to Sacramento

I won't be able to sleep tonight until I know the truth.

Worst case scenario? I could see the NBA kicking in the city's share as an investment. Not that it will be necessary, but I do not think there's any way this arena does not get built.

 

[VF21]

Whoa. That was a nasty little hit by IT. No way that's not a foul.

I agree that's the worst case scenario but I can't imagine these owners running out of money for an arena.

 

[Entity]

I like Lowry a lot

 

[VF21]

Okay, who was it who was wanting to see Hayes guard Cousins?

[1234kings]

i don't get why we dont have jimmer and ben back in.

 

[VF21]

I agree that's the worst case scenario but I can't imagine these owners running out of money for an arena.

I'm referring to the $200+ million the city is currently scheduled to contribute. If, for some bizarro world reason, STOP got things delayed as far as the city contribution, I truly believe the NBA would step in and make up any difference.

 

[fanop]

how the hell are the raptors getting all these blocks?

 

[VF21]

VERY SAVVY play by Rudy Gay. All too often trailers fade when the lead guy goes up for the dunk. Rudy didn't and we got the points.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Well... that was... something.

 

[Tetsujin]

Lowry is a nice talent

Or loan it. Gotcha. The NBA will not let this arena fail to be built.

 

[t-rex]

Well, one good thing about Adam Silver being here, is I expect it to be a well officiated game.

Wrong!

 

[cuad]

Demar Derozan's ego hurt there more than anything.

 

[Glenn]

Ben must have small hands and that can make a lot of difference.

 

[1234kings]

rudy's been waiting for that all nighttttt

 

[VF21]

Holy crap. Talk about the flying Rudini!!!

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Rudy reminding D-Will what to do in the open floor

 

[The_Jamal]

Wowza.

Dudes and dudetes. We're playing some serious defense

 

[fanop]

lol D-Will is looking at that like, "Man, that's what I should have done instead"

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

lol D-Will is looking at that like, "Man, that's what I should have done instead"

rocket science

 

[Glenn]

IT has two games in a row where he has shown restraint and I like that. He might not like it but .... there is the team to think about.

 

[Hadlowe]

Ben must have small hands and that can make a lot of difference.

His hand size is above average for his height. I thinl he just gets ahead of himself.

 

[Tetsujin]

If we keep this team together going into next season, I'd wager we could be a playoff team. If we make some obvious improvements, we are.


Then again, I'm a bit of a homer.

 

[fanop]

that wasn't a wind mill...what the hell is Grant talking about?

 

[Entity]

Grant doesn't know what a windmill is

 

[Glenn]

His hand size is above average for his height. I thinl he just gets ahead of himself.

Really. Wow.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

i can't freakin believe this team is 3rd in the East. what a joke. The NBA really needs to get rid of conferences in playoff seedings

 

[Entity]

Jerry - "Shades of Dr. Gay"

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Objectively speaking, should a commissioner be clapping for one team over the other?

 

[Entity]

Shoot jimmer don't get cute

 

[Glenn]

His hand size is above average for his height. I thinl he just gets ahead of himself.

Really. Wow.

 

[TyFreak Evans]

Anything worth reporting on the Adam Silver front???????

 

[PurpleHaze]

Hmmm, maybe Dr. Gay is not too far off the mark at all.

 

[Kingsfan23]

Good transition d

 

[Entity]

Shoot jimmer don't get cute

 

[HereWeBoogie]

It's weird that Ben always drives to his left
