[Game] Kings v. Thunder, 12/3/13 - 7 p.m. PST

[The_Jamal]

Where you at Chubbs?

 

[Entity]

I have never seen players get angry after making a shot like Thornton and lamb

 

[rainmaker]

Get on the phone PDA.

MT's trade value just got a decent bump.

 

[swisshh]

I am really surprised the Thunder aren't being sent to the line on any sort of defensive pressure.

 

[The_Jamal]

Yay! MT makes one

 

[Hoovtrain]

OThe constant barrelingo. He's not even in the top 10 of dumbest players, unless you haven't been watching very long. He's just so frustrating because his stupidity could be totally resolved if only he'd keep his freaking mouth shut.

Agree to disagree. He is #1 in my book. The c
onstant barreling into the lane picking up offensive fouls, the constant stupid defensive fouls on th other end and everything in between. Great guy and great energy guy, but one of the lowest basketball IQ's I have seen in my 30+ yrs of watching basketball. Duane Causwell was slightly dumber.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Jason Thompson has to be the dumbest player I have ever watched. It is quite remarkable

Oh no. He's not even in the top 10 of dumbest players, unless you haven't been watching very long. He's just so frustrating because his stupidity could be totally resolved if only he'd keep his freaking mouth shut.

Jason Thompson isn't even in the Top 3 dumbest players to wear #34 for the Sacramento Kings. But, damn, if he can't be frustrating as ****, sometimes.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

we continue to sag off and give up OPEN 3s. wow

 

[HereWeBoogie]

come on Patterson gotta kick that out

 

[chasen4r1]

ISAIAH THOMAS!!!!

 

[Entity]

Isaiah just fouled the shot out of Westbrook

 

[miltonap]

lol that was such a foul on thomas. hahahahahaha

 

[The_Jamal]

jeez. Say what you will about IT. The dude is an absolute warrior

 

[Uncia03]

You know...maybe the Thunder will be willing to trade Adams for IT considering that this is the 2nd time IT has done this to them in the 4th quarter.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Damned if they don't make it interesting!

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Can't set some screens there or something?

 

[The_Jamal]

mna... IT got a great look at the end. Just a bit short.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

IT really needed to find a way to set up MT for a three on that final possession. Just a bit too much hero ball - they knew he was going to do it. Oh well.

 

[chasen4r1]

Gaahhhh. One of these days, people, we'll start closing out these close games. Inexperience will eventually turn into experience

 

[rainmaker]

After everything he was hitting, surprised he missed a relatively easy look by that much. Didn't need to fade and go up off balance.

Great 4th quarter though.

 

[TheBadGuy]

Knew it , another loss, but I noticed that all of those playoff contenders only had a single digit lead to defeat the Kings. Waiting to see if the Kings go up against a non-playoff contender.

 

[VF21]

If I had been at tonight's game, I'd be walking out to the parking lot satisfied with the performance of our Kings. What I truly loved was how the whole team came together at the end, led by DMC... We're building something very special right now. And talk about a class move? Malone coming out to IT was incredible.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Good loss, really. No DMC against the best team in the West. I'll take it.

IT was a bit ball hoggy in the 4th, but I loved how the team didn't get on him - they realized what he had going and the effort he was putting into it. They all went right up to him after the game. Good stuff.

Fully behind Thomas as a long term guy here. He's opened my eyes this season with the amount of games he's been able to drag us back into. I still think he is better than Vasquez, and deserves the starting role, but that's whatever. Long term I want Thomas as the 6th man and Vasquez on another team.

 

[The_Jamal]

uhh. I don't want anyone but IT taking that shot. Dude was torching everything and he got a great look. Just didn't hit it.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Does anyone have an answer for Salmons playing over Williams in the 4th?

 

[rainmaker]

I thought it was a bit too much hero ball most of the 4th but actually had no problem with the final possession. Had a good look at it, just seemed to choke a bit.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I'm subject to give Thomas a pass on that one, for a change: when you have it going like he did, down the stretch, and the franchise is in street clothes, you've earned that shot. I would like to have seen him pass, sure, but I'll eat that one, tonight.

 

[Kingsfan23]

The new George R.R. Martin book, set in Mexico?

lol, no. Just describing the game

 

[chasen4r1]

Does anyone have an answer for Salmons playing over Williams in the 4th?

I feel like Williams just hasn't earned Malone's trust just yet. He's well on his way and I think we'll see him closing out these games before long.

Umm that hero ball made it a 2 point game... sometimes you need the best player on the court to take over the game
