[Game] Kings v. Thunder - 1/15/17 - 6PT/9ET

[kingsboi]

watching this game was very difficult, so many free throws for OKC because the Kings were unable to defend them and endless points in the paint. Kanter was having a field day out there, no resistance what so ever from anybody out there.

I'm done playing games with Joerger too. He's subpar. And keeps with idiotic rotations and hasn't been better than Karl

 

[VF21]

Cousins is not as good as Westbrook and doesn't affect winning like him

Put Cousins with a surrounding cast anywhere near what Westbrook has and we'll talk.

 

[Tetsujin]

Don't care about his stats, Cousins isn't a frontline, top 7 guy who makes teams better as a centerpiece as of yet. Hopefully he can get there at some point

What the **** is he supposed to do? He should have had a triple double tonight except his teammates kept missing wide-open shots all game.

 

[VF21]

That's the only way to blow it up. We have no other assets. You wanna roll with Boogie for another five years and win 29-35 games???

I am not going to advocate trading DeMarcus Cousins. Not now and not in the foreseeable future...and I'm pretty sure you knew that would be my response.

You hope to build around the star. Methinks getting said star is the hardest part of the equation... and the Kings already have that despite what people some want to think. What if the Kings trade him for all the prospects and pieces and greener pastures, and that doesn't pan out? No star, worse team, 10 wins a season. That's a worse hell than this.

Not to derail this thread too badly, but what would be the BEST CASE scenario the Kings would receive for DMC? Not nearly enough to take the gamble would be my guess.

So funny you mention this because brick said this was what Vlade did this year. I guess not. Either cousins can't figure winning out or Vlade has failed. Guess people can choose.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Well that's interesting

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Clutch!!!

 

[VF21]

Wait. What just happened?

 

[Tetsujin]

The thing is that pretty much the entire team not named Anthony Tolliver or Demarcus Cousins had a pretty pretty crapty game.

 

[Suicide King]

Anyone still watching the end of this, and saying Cousins is the problem ... I just don't know what to tell you.

this is true... it

I'm done playing games with Joerger too. He's subpar. And keeps with idiotic rotations and hasn't been better than Karl

he's better than Karl ... but so far not by that much... lots of stuff that needs to be corrected.

 

[fansinceday1]

I don't care if I'm a Debbie downer. We've all seen this schtick before. We all know how it usually ends.

 

[Tetsujin]

Uhhhhhh, wait

 

[Kingsfan23]

Why foul and why foul him? The clock was 26.5

 

[kingjatt]

Why foul wow thats on joerger.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Wait. What just happened?

Guys quit in the second but not the fourth

 

[Tetsujin]

Come on Thunder, you couldn't have put in Roberson just to give us a chance?

The 15-Point Rope-a-Dope Strategy....works every time!

 

[fansinceday1]

Results. It's all about the results. What is the ultimate outcome?

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Yeah.

 

[glassman]

well Matt..... thanks again for your tech!!!! funny how this stupidity always matters.

 

[VF21]

Anyone still watching the end of this, and saying Cousins is the problem ... I just don't know what to tell you.

QFT.

 

[Tetsujin]

Anyone still watching the end of this, and saying Cousins is the problem ... I just don't know what to tell you.

Without Demarcus Cousins singlehandedly making this a close game in the fourth, the Kings win this game handedly...

Wait, what?

 

[Kings Faithful]

Why the hell did we foul with 2.6 difference on the shot and game clock. That was effing STUPID.

 

[VF21]

Results. It's all about the results. What is the ultimate outcome?

Maybe you could wait until the end of the game? This is, contrary to what you might think, still the game thread.

 

[c-webb1s#1]

hmmmm this just got a little more interesting...

 

[fansinceday1]

That STUPID Barnes tech is looking dumber and dumber with each passing second.

Gotta serve those takes while they're still hot, I guess.
