By Stephen Tetsu, I kinda wanna sleep now


Gonna keep this short because it's 2 AM here and I really need to get some sleep (damn you 17 hour time difference).

I'd be lying if I said that the last couple of games have been pretty or if I said that I actually watched most of the games. (A lot of the thrill of watching the game is taken away when you know the end result before hand.) Seeing as my time is increasingly being stretched thin and I'm not exactly being paid to be a game analyst (not to mention there are several dozen other people on these forums alone better suited to doing that than me), I chose to simply skip watching some of the games than trudging through them for your benefit. Sorry, it's been a real hectic week at work.

Anyways, we're at the point of the season where the coaching staff and front office have chosen to see what the young guys can do (if the young guys happened to also include Travis Outlaw, Reggie Evans, and Carl Landry). While this isn't exactly fun to watch, it's an integral part of the rebuilding process, one that's been waylaid year after year as the Maloofs usually decided to dump off desirable pieces for money around this time of year.

Cant wait!

Tyreke vs. Ben McLemore. I'll be watching through my fingers.

It's Tyreke vs. Gay. SF vs. SF.

 

[Spike]

Not if NO is looking to tank the game. I'm pretty sure Evans will see quite a bit of time at the SG position.

 

[pshn80]

Be there tonight. It's one of my 11 games. Looking forward to it hoping it won't be like the last two. Not optimistic about winning. We have had trouble with teams in our record zone. All we have to do to win is cut the turnovers in half, stiffen the defens, feed Cuz some kind of tranquilizer, move the ball and take good shos. Now is that too much to ask? Anyway, I get to see R. Evans, Orlando, and McCallum playing. It's fun to watch Tyreke when he's having a good game. IHpe he does tonight but just short of beating us.

 

[TyFreak Evans]

I predict that we're gonna channel our inner Miami Heat selves, and Rudy Gay is gonna channel his inner LeBron James self tonight. Rudy goes for 50+, and the Kings win by no less than 40.

No, seriously..........

We will win the game, but not by 50+, I say Kings 114 - Pelicans 105...Rudy will have him a fine game (35 points)

If the Pelicans finish with anything better than the fifth worst record, they will not have a 1st round draft pick. Tonight's game will let us know their strategy.

Luckily for us, Outlaw hasn't played since the Orlando Johnson signing

i think he is actually starting at the SF for the Pelicans now

Do we have any games remaining against Portland this year? If so, we might want to keep Outlaw around a little longer.

 

[Glenn]

I got my AM radio! Yeah, no more Grant and Jerry.

 

[Kingster]

DeMarcus Cousins vs. Anthony Davis.

Davis "took" Cousins' All Star slot. That's all you need to know for this one.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

I got my AM radio! Yeah, no more Grant and Jerry.

I'm too far north to pickup 1140 clearly to listen to the "G-man". Is there still a delay between the radio vs TV? I can't recall which way it was last time I tried, but believe it was the TV that was behind the radio by a couple seconds?

 

[HereWeBoogie]

but how will you ever keep up on the greatness of the "Hustlin Huskie"?

 

[Glenn]

I will assume he is great. I don't need any announcer to tell me who is good or bad on any given day. Besides, I'd like to hear if Gerould is just as hysterical.

Gerould is a legend. One of my favorite sports radio people and a treat to listen to.

 

[Entity]

I am guessing this bulls game will go well into our time.. Jimmer still finding ways to screw us up

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Gerould is a legend. One of my favorite sports radio people and a treat to listen to.

If we could somehow have a TV broadcast crew of Garry Gerould and Kayte Christenson, that would be another treat

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I'd settle for Kayte Christensen and Jason Ross.

 

[Glenn]

I'd settle for Kayte Christensen and Jason Ross.

Kayte understands basketball and can communicate it better than Grant and Jerry. She could fill in for Jerry and I'd be very happy.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I can't imagine her being able to stand Napear for very long.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Watching Thonrton and Fredette guarding each other is... interesting...

 

[Entity]

Jimmer and Thornton in for nets and bulls. Jimmer played poor defense on Thornton and Thornton missed the wide open three. Pretty much same as here

 

[kingsnation]

Watching Thonrton and Fredette guarding each other is... interesting...

I'm sure that was Coach Malone's thought during more than a few practices this year as well.

BTW, MT returned to form tonight.

I got to run to the store and get a loaf of Lebron. Cause he is the greatest thing since sliced bread

 

[VF21]

Purple slippers - check
Brandy - check
Nice fire in the woodstove - check
Ability to not have to listen to Grant/Jerry - no check

I guess 3 out of 4 isn't too bad.

GO KINGS!!

 

[Entity]

How in the **** am I blacked out on nba tv

 

[kingsnation]

For all the flack on Grant and Jerry's commentary, Jerry really is one of the nicest guys you could ever meet.

Grant not so much... but my point on Jerry still stands

You aren't actually my step-sister's oldest son, are you? Because that sounds like the sort of thing that he would say.
