nice.

So who is Sean May?

 

[Tetsujin]

Odom is among the wussiest players ever.

 

[spudfan]

How about playing guys in their correct positions instead of playing 4s or 2s/1s at the 3??

Like I said, what lineup do you want?

 

[TheWileyVet]

Gotta love that "Luck the Fakers" sign

 

[jockthisfoo]

Theres a good chance we can come back never stop believing

 

[Circa_1985_Fan]

damn Gasol shouts at every shot and gets to the foul line.

All part of the perks you get when your the champs.

 

[King-Da-Yah]

Odom is a pest.

 

[Larry89]

See what happens with mismatches

 

[cuad]

That three was ice cold.

 

[spudfan]

Donte Greene?? Darnell Jackson?? Pooh Jeter?

You want Donte or Darnell to play Heads position...? And Jeter isn't even active.

 

[=LarryLegend=]

Beno, Cisco and Dally trying to turn it on! LETS GOOO

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Donte is our best matchup agaisnt Odom and Kobe. I dont know why he has fallen so far out of our rotation.

Not a real good one..but still a chance

Queue Journey song...

Hey, it worked for the Giants, right??

 

[TheWileyVet]

4th quarter comeback?

 

[Tetsujin]

See what happens with mismatches

That's not a mismatch Odumb and D-Jax are both 4s

 

[BMiller52]

Like I said, what lineup do you want?

One of the reasons Tyreke has 5 fouls is because our worthless coach left him on their best player to pick up 3 or 4 ticky tack fouls. We should've had Cisco or Greene out there guarding Kobe the whole time. That's what we did last year with Donte and the games were way closer than this team despite having less talent.

 

[asakkings]

I really don't understand coache's dislike for donte, tell him to play D and shoot open 3s when he is open. Make that his role and keep it simple for him but westphal just refuses to play him.

 

[BMiller52]

Gotta love that "Luck the Fakers" sign

I don't like the whole "luck the fakers" thing because I don't wish them any luck at all. They already have the refs in their pocket, what more do they need? I'd go ahead and just put astrisks or something and have it be $%## the lakers.

 

[Larry89]

Since when is "playing minutes" a position? The kings have Beno and Head on the floor at the same time, how about luther head gets the DNP instead? Does luther head even do anything PG ball handling? He's just playing as a midget 2 bricking threes making bad decisions

 

[swisshh]

I always thought Mark Jackson had good PG brains, but his announcing makes me question if he has any brains. Highlight of the night was saying Kevin Johnson was the second best PG he ever played against.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

That's not a mismatch Odumb and D-Jax are both 4s

Not totally true. Sure, they are both 4's, but Odom is more of a hybrid 3/4 where Jackson is very much ONLY a banger type 4. Its a very tough perimeter matchup for Jackson.

lol good point

 

[=LarryLegend=]

Cisco keeps up his play he def should be in the MIP talk.

 

[Larry89]

Odom can play the 3 and the 4, his skill set is not unique to a 4 position, Darnell jackson is a 4.. Donte Greene or Casspi much better suited to Guard him..

 

[OptimusRhyme]

ill say it again sammy d needs to be resigned!

But who of our players that we actually play would be good in that matchup?

 

[spudfan]

I hope the Kings can pull off another come from behind win. Then we will see the same thing we saw during the other wins, people saying "Sorry, Westphal. Good job coaching another comeback!" just like they did in the other game threads.
