[kingsboi]

holy cow I just saw the score between Toronto & Milwaukee

 

[kingsboi]

30 points at halftime Toronto...really?

 

[kingsboi]

Indiana...sigh, 26 point lead

 

[Kingz19]

Toronto may not reach 50 going into the 4th

 

[Kingz19]

Miss Cleo's Sacramento Kings

PG-Steph Curry
SG-Klay Thompson
SF-Kawhi Leonard
PF-Giannis Antetokounmpo
C-Demarcus Cousins

Did Milwaukee change their court design for the playoffs? I don't remember it looking like that

Yes. IIRC, the deer head logo used to be in center court. I don't recall the shadowy heads being on the court at all.

 

[Tetsujin]

Tony Parker isn't an NBA player anymore.

 

[kingsboi]

Tony Parker isn't an NBA player anymore.

He sure seemed like one in Game 2

 

[Kingz19]

Damn..what will the Clippers do without Griffins season average of 3 points in the 4th quarter?

Boy! If the Clippers lose this game by 3 they're going to point right to that missing 3 points that Griffin brings in crunch time Jerry

 

[OffTheWallJamal]

ugly start of the game in Milwaukee.

 

[kingjatt]

Thon Maker and Brogdon two guys we passed up killing it in the playoffs as rookies.......In Vlade we trust tho...

 

[kingsboi]

Wizards suck on the road

There will always be players the Kings pass up on that we can look back on and slap ourselves for passing on them, that's not going to change, not now with Vlade or 5 years from now with a new GM in place.

 

[kingsboi]

that Bucks/Raptors series all of a sudden has turned into a defensive series, either that or really inept offenses

 

[kingsboi]

a fine game going on between the Grizz & Spurs. Good quality defensive work from both sides, no offensive explosions. Nice change of pace for once.

 

[LoungeLizard]

Kawai Leonard is insane right now! Wow!

 

[Kingz19]

Overtime

Would've been Jordan-esque had it went in. He forgot to push off though

 

[Tetsujin]

Kawhi is just amazing.

The Grizzlies have thrown everything at him and he's just demolished them like the basketball robot assassin he is.

 

[LoungeLizard]

Gasol with one of the ugliest game winners ever. What a game.

 

[Tetsujin]

A game winning bankshot is probably the most Marc Gasol play ever.

FYI, it wasn't a bankshot.

You were saying?

But I thought he's just a product of the Spurs system and that Rudy Gay is more of a superstar than he is?

I don't think anyone has ever made that particular argument but okay

Sure, happens to every team, but watching guys being effective while we sit here with little to show for what we have picked in the past few years makes it hurt just a little bit more.

I largely agree with that argument but not with this particular draft.

Skal/Papa/Malachi have all shown great potential and have produced in their time. Say we drafted Thon and Brogdan instead, who do we leave out? Papa? Malachi? Both haven't proven themselves to be worse prospects than the two young Bucks.

And really, in terms of missed draft opportunities, you sorta forgot all about the Greek Freak, i.e. the dude Geoff wanted to pick before Vivek unceremoniously dumped him for the Weasel and ol' flattop.

If Thon were available at 13, I would of liked to draft him, but he was gone at 10.

living in a hypothetical world and a "what if" scenario is going to be the worst thing you, me or anyone on this board can do because all it does is make us more angry and/or depressed thinking what could of been. Roll with the players we have and hope with the new hires in place, they get it right.
