[Game] Kings v. Thunder - Wednesday, Dec. 19 - 7PT/10ET

[OldSchoolKingsFan]

Ben must be a hell of a practice player.

That pre draft workout was awesome!

 

[SacTownKid]

When he’s not exploding, he’s pretty awful.

The strength of Dave Joergers teams are his bench and tonight he got nothing.

 

[Ozymandias]

Ideally for a serious playoff run the Kings would upgrade the backup PG spot (the PG's spot on the depth chart costs so little. we can easily afford a proper backup...) and an upgrade for Troy Williams(and dare I say McLemore), and you could make the case for some sort of bruiser-5thbig-type

 

[Kingster]

The only time the Kings had a chance in this game was when the Thunder got bored and started jacking up outside shots. George went for the kill and drove the paint with a mission and posted up for easy shots. The next teams on the schedule are going to be following the the Wolves and Thunder game plan: relentlessly attack the Kings in the paint. Grizzlies, Pelicans, Clippers, Lakers (2x) and Portland are all going to attack, attack, and attack in the painted area. The Kings better figure it out. Soon.

This stretch is going to hurt...

Houston is rising like expected and hopefully the Clipps keep falling.

yeah we should end up in the group of 6-7 teams fighting it out for spots 6-8. hopefuly.

I’m still at a loss how Bill Self made him look like a top nba prospect. I have to watch those Kansas games

5-5 would be good. although 4-6 would be ok. They need the win on Friday to 'stem the bleeding' after consecutive losses.

 

[The_Jamal]

I mean, this kind of result is expected when missing 3/7 of your core rotation, 90% of the bench offense and the best perimeter defender on the team. We had no one to throw at Paul George who literally got whatever he wanted on the offensive end.

As long as 2 of those wins are against the Lakers, I'm fine with either.

There was evidence of what was to come from Ben in the NBA... if u watch the game where Marcus Smart and OSU went to Kansas and beat them and then he did a backflip at the end. I'd cite that game, complete no-show from Ben and they had a huge win-streak at home.

 

[Folsomkingsfan]

Ben sucks, skal sucks, kosta sucks, Justin Jackson sucks. The sooner we can find upgrades over these guys the better

Kings have given mclemore 7,535 nba minutes. Has any nba team ever given that many minutes to such a terrible player? I don’t know if it’s just the loss tonight or what, but I think Ben is genuinely one of the worst players I’ve ever seen and I’ve been watching the nba since the very early 80’s.

 

[KingsSelecao]

This stretch is going to hurt...

I see some record nights by:
Gasol, Davis, Randle, Harrell, Bojan, and Chandler, Mcgee, and Lebron posting up constantly.

The thing is that Bogie is effectively our backup PG. Yogi and Frank are essentially third PGs on our squad.

Ben is a nice boy. He still has time to grow as an NBA player.

I think so.

They need more than that. Team needs a competant 3.. Adding another PG or Big they won't do.
They Have Bagley coming back, Giles, WCS, and Joerger loves Koufas.

Kings will get next to nothing for WCS. The way he's been playing over the past month. Teams are already on notice about WCS. He's not a good player.

 

[KingKong]

Willie has regressed into a lob specialist, and that's about it.

It's a shame too; he started out the season so well.

 

[Tetsujin]

The second Willie Cauley-$tein died and left only the old WCS

[KingsFanSince85]

They were just too short-handed tonight.

Why is it the KINGS always seem to get hit so hard with the injury bug? UGH.

Maybe getting manhandled by Adams gave him a concussion or something.

Usually watching the video of questionable comments helps me understand the context and, often, feel better. I'm not sure this is one of those times: on.abc10.com/2BwfTal

 

[swisshh]

Willie just explained why he's not getting 100 mil but he was the only one in the room who didn't hear his message.

 

[Gliesian]

Willie Contract Stein will make a great backup for Marvin.

 

[The Hammer]

Hey look I'm pissed but I'm not going to waste energy freaking out. I have a calmness and confidence in this team and our future and has allowed me to level up on any potential freakout. I'm sold that this team is smart enough to learn from it's mistakes so for some reason I'm just not worried. PLAYOFFS... yes we want them. But we need to effing win... and every guy knows it. I hate the phrase productive loss but all losses feel productive at this point. Can I interest you in some severely dark purple tinted glasses? It's nice in this world.

 

[Kingsfan2002]

We need Bogi and Shump back pronto.

If we had a legit SF shump would be great bench depth
