So it’s good news that Minnesota is about to get its second and third leading scorers, Kevin Martin and Nikola Pekovic back on Saturday when they take on the Kings.

In all honesty I would rather be competitve vs. a full strenght team than win against a team missing two of there top three players. I just like seeing one team's best against another teams best.

Looking forward to seeing Orlando Johnson, Ray McCallum, Derrick Williams, and Reggie Evans play

These four are probably my bright spot to watch how they play/develop for the last 20 games.

I like the avatar. I love how those two play. I hope Reggie shares his workout routine with Quincy and Derrick. I want them to put on some more strength and mass. Would be interesting to see them with an extra 20-30 lbs of muscle. Could get 'scary'

 

[TyFreak Evans]

After the debacle in Kobewood, USA, I just don't know bout this team.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

"Los Kings"? Shouldn't it be "Los Reyes"?

Edit: I guess not. We don't call "Real Madrid" by the anglification "Royal Madrid", so...

You got it the second time. The Kings are the Kings in any language. Just like my name is Glenn.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

You got it the second time.

I think I'll edit it a third time so I can be wrong again.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Good interview with Derrick. He has his sights set on staying aggressive. Would be great to see him do it, since he's very effective when he is

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I see that the defense has picked up where it left off...

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Kevin Martin may go for 45 tonight

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Ugh! Back-to-back dumb plays by Thompson: poor help defense, then commits a 3-sec violation.

 

[cuad]

Ben gave up 8 points before I could even check in.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Kevin Martin may go for 45 tonight

Maybe he will just go 4-5 instead. Hopefully.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Creepy doctor is still creepy.

 

[VF21]

Kevin Martin with 10 points on 5 shots. Who wudda thunk?

 

[Kingsfan23]

Just when Carl started looking serviceable. I want to believe that contract isn't just going to be an albatross

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Nice find on the screen/roll by Thomas.

 

[VF21]

Don't get fancy, Kings. Just play good fundamental basketball, please.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Okay, HereWeVivek, I hope you were paying attention: that's what a pass that's the recipient's fault looks like, not that nonsense you were trying to put on him last night.

 

[VF21]

How cool is it that Vivek gave his seats to a dad and his little girl attending her first Kings game? I'll tell you. It's WAY freaking cool!!

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

You know, we have an awful lot of young athletes to be as awful as we are at transition defense.

 

[VF21]

Hey Grant? Once again, I'd just like to remind you it's not offense that we have the problems with...

 

[KingMilz]

Gay off to a hot start, IT for the most part running the point nice and Cuz was playing well and picked up two fouls he should have never reached for on either.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Kayte is a bright spot

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

That's a tough foul call for Thompson to pick up, on that back pick; his teammates have to call that out.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Reggie with Quincy....entertainment

 

[VF21]

I had looked away from the screen for a moment. Luckily I knew what had happened because I heard JT scream. And now, even as he heads to the bench to be replaced by Evans, he's still protesting.

SHUT THE EFF UP, Jason.

 

[VF21]

That's a tough foul call for Thompson to pick up, on that back pick; his teammates have to call that out.

I went back and saw it and agree to a degree. BUT he still needs to STFU.
