[Game] Kings v. Spurs - 11/16/16 -7:30PT/10:30ET

[Capt. Factorial]

Why? After that, the schedule gets a hell of a lot easier.

That will be the time to buy low on the win total over/under.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Ain't looking good for the home team.

 

[Larry89]

Why did we keep Ty Lawson?

For the Kings or their opponent?

For the Kings or their opponent?

The Kings. Unless you're assuming the Kings'll be playing the Spurs/Clippers all season.

 

[Kingsfan23]

I just tuned back in

Jerry was really saying the Kings need to hold the Spurs to three or four points to have a chance to win?

This team isnt good enough to take advantage of an "easy" schedule. Losses to Miami, Orlando, Milwaukee, Lakers prove that. 4-12 is pretty much a deathnail for this team and trade rumors will/should heat up. Aka blow it up.

If I am not mistaken he is not guaranteed until Jan 10th

And obviously rumors mean trades will actually happen.

We got smacked by the lakers on our own turf. There is no 'easy' with this team

Kings Fans need to make up their minds: spend the better part of two weeks talking about how those teams are all better than us, and then complain that they can't win "easy" games. Well, which is it? Are those teams better than us, or nah?

The Lakers are 7-5 this season so why we're using them as the benchmark for "easy" wins is beyond me.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Shame we got nothing from Gay tonight.

 

[Bricklayer]

ohhh...and see, here I was wondering what Cuz was still doing out there -- I didn't respect Joerger's sneaky fake hustle come from behind on the Spurs wiht an 18-0 closing rush plan

The Kings are the worst team in the league except for all those times when they aren't and lose games against teams that are obviously worse than them. Understood?

 

[Suicide King]

If the Kings only played vs. the Kings, could the Kings win?

The Kings, so bad that they lose team scrimmages.

You couldn't of said it any better. The Kings don't have the luxury of having any "easy" games when the opposition looks at the Kings as an "easy" win themselves...

diminished trade value?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Napear with the timely jinx.

 

[kingsboi]

bow your head Kings because the Spurs continue to do you in, take it like a champ and be glad you don't play until March. yawn.

 

[Tetsujin]

I obviously blame Boogie.

 

[Bricklayer]

Pop with the Micaela face/I am not amused

 

[peacelate]

Those teams are definitely better than us. I don't see the schedule getting any easier because a majority of teams are better than us. It's quite simple. This team doesn't do anything well. No identity. Not a great rebounding team. Not a great shooting team. Don't defend. Don't win the hustle points.

Thats exactly the point im trying to make. Tetsujin says the schedule gets easy after this homestand. Games to Miami, Orlando, Milwaukee and LA at home would be considered "easy" games or games we should expect to win. If we are 4-12 with an easy schedule to come and at best we split the "easy" games. That just means we are a bad basketball team. We are 2-4 in our "easy" games this year. My point is its best to just accept this is a bad basketball team with no upside.

Both teams (Bucks and Lakers) are currently above .500. The Miami and Orlando games are inexcusable in the big picture.

Good thing a lot of the players on the roster are on one or two year deals, flexibility when the ship sinks to the bottom of the ocean with leaks all through out.

Regarding Miami, they haven't won a home game since their game versus the Kings, silver lining?

No, I mean, in hindsight, that Bucks loss doesn't look so bad while the Miami loss is a head scratcher.

The faster we as a fan base realize that there are no such things as easy games, the better off we will be both mentally and physically IMO.
