[Game] Kings v. Warriors - 1/8/17 - 6PT/9ET

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

We have not gotten a stop on back-to-back possessions since it was 64-55. Incidentally, that was also the last time we made back-to-back field goals.

That crapty Warriors run is on Cousins. He was abysmal on the floor with his ugly attitude. I wish we had somebody who could pick up the entire team and rally them back..and not yell at the refs passed the whistle. Cousins needs to show he can be that guy... we're all waiting right now. This is a giant game for us

 

[SLAB]

This lineup isn't likely to help...

 

[206Fan]

wtf is this lineup? lol

 

[kingjatt]

Great to have a dubs fan like Grant on the call

 

[Blob]

This is a game where we needed Cousins to step up and play like an All-Star. He's poopoo the bed.

You could see it coming too. Before the poopoo hit the fan, he started to get frustrated. Slow simmer to a boil. This was precursor to him and team imploding. I have made this point before, but Boogie has never played in big games, playoff basketball, or games with playoff implications. Playing the Warriors in January is as close as he gets and this is how he responds? This is a 220M player? Nah.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Matt Barnes does nothing well.

 

[funkykingston]

Not that I expected them to win this one but combined with the last few losses and the Kings are back out of 8th place and headed towards that worst case scenario of missing the playoffs and still losing their pick.

And what's the alternative?

I'd rather chance the money on Boogie than losing our only productive player and turning into a perennial 10 win team.

Look at the Kings recent history. What's the chance they get and develop another impact player like Boogie? Next to nil.

This lineup clanking their 3's.....it's Cousins fault

His negative attitude effects all, FYI.

The alternative is to retain him at less than max...as accurate reflection of his value.

 

[dude12]

Cousins can't beat the double and triple team....lame

 

[dude12]

Lawson travelled...if only Cousins was a leader

 

[206Fan]

Cousins can't beat the double and triple team....lame

oh, but is it acceptable the way he was crying after that? and not running back on defense?

 

[dude12]

Haha...oh ok

 

[dude12]

Cousins draws the charge.....terrible

 

[206Fan]

Cousins draws the charge.....terrible

you're being annoying as **** in a gamethread when we're actually trying to discuss the game. is it all foul in pointing out that Cousins has had a horrible game?

 

[LoungeLizard]

Tolliver has been good tonight.

 

[dude12]

Good defense and pass by Cousins.....to bad he's melting down

 

[jcwkings]

I know everyone is frustrated but starting Temple and Tolliver is a good step in the long term direction of the season. This was always going to be a loss. The Heat game is the one that is frustrating.

 

[Blob]

Good defense and pass by Cousins.....to bad he's melting down

He has 6 turnovers. Got in foul trouble in 1st quarter. Got in foul trouble in second quarter or else our 7-point lead at half time is a 14-point lead. He got unnecessary technical by pretending to be an MMA fighter on a valid over the back call. His energy and effort is clearly and obviously deflated for much of the second half. He's played even with Za Za. If that meets your standards for franchise guy and potential 220M player, then I suggest you raise them.

 

[dude12]

3 missed FT's in a row doesn't help

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Well, stops on two straight possessions. That's something. Too bad we didn't score on either of them.

 

[Larry89]

Tolliver has been infinitely better than WCS in the minutes he has gotten this year

 

[206Fan]

Could've been a 3 possession game if we made those FTs.

 

[chasen4r1]

Grant's never seen a dunk before it would seem, lol

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Man Grant is overhyping everything the Warriors do.

 

[CyKings]

gotta wonder if Ben and WCS will get DNPs in future games. One good thing about the last couple games.

 

[dude12]

Darren Collison is not very good as a starting PG

 

[Larry89]

Darren needs to be benched
