[Game] Nuggets @ Kings 01/06/11 Game Thread

[Tetsujin]

(post Brandon Roy knee disintegration. RIP my fantasy squad).

Saddest story of the year.

 

[LWP777]

As a collective team, they do have less talent than us.

We have zero talent after Evans and DMC.

 

[Tetsujin]

I take it that Webber will allow DeMarcus to be mentioned in the same breath as Vlade.

 

[kingsboi]

You can sense momentum is slowly starting to shift. Let's not let up this 10 point lead, playing so good and then all of a sudden they start turning the ball over.

 

[hrdboild]

Even after that last traveling call, our turnover numbers are terrific so far.

 

[Showtime]

Wasn't much truth in the hate he was spilling.

Barkley knows somewhat less than my belly button lint about the current NBA and he's way too lazy to actually bother watching teamsw or heaven forbid getting to know their situations.

Sorry, but he was 100% correct. This team's problem isn't coaching. Replace them with any coach, and there's no way they are winning 43 games (a winning record). If the Kings replace the coach, that's essentially saying one of the biggest issues is that position, and it's not. He also said this is the worst team, and by all accounts (wins and losses), it is. There's no arguing that.

 

[ArcoKings]

Let's go Kings. Pick it up. Don't fold.

 

[RookieOfTheDay]

Win... Win how much? I think we have enough talent to have won more than 7 by now, that is for sure. We had more wins in less time last year with less talent.

It's debatable whether they have more talent now than the same time last year. but either way, talent hasn't been the main problem for The Kings this year, it's been Tyreke's struggles. That's not Westphal's fault.

 

[Tetsujin]

Yes that would be a foul

That's not a valid argument. There's a big difference between being on pace to break the franchise record for least wins in a season and aspiring to 43 wins. We do not expect to be a playoff team, but we do have more talent than our record suggests and that's on the coach. You can also say that Phil Jackson won't win a championship with the Clippers, but that doesn't mean he won't do a better job than Vinny Del Negro.

 

[kingsboi]

Come on Cousins not this stupid ish again! God damnit.

 

[rainmaker]

Something I don't like with this team is that when a guy gets fouled and goes to the floor, no one goes over and helps him up. Cousins just walked away from JT there. See that stuff far too often.

 

[RookieOfTheDay]

Detroit, Phoenix, New Jersey, Cleveland, Charlotte, Washington, Toronto, and Portland (post Brandon Roy knee disintegration. RIP my fantasy squad).

None of those teams are less talented than The Kings. Phoenix, Detroit, and Charlotte all have more talent. The Kings may have more "potential" but at the moment, they're not more talented.

 

[Asaf]

It's debatable whether they have most talent now than the same time last year. but either way, talent hasn't been the main problem for The Kings this year, it's been Tyreke's struggles. That's not Westphal's fault.

Tyreke didn't struggle last year and we still went 11-41 to finish the season.

 

[kingsboi]

Kings can't score no more, what gives?

 

[ArcoKings]

Cuz melting.

 

[cuad]

lmao Cousins on the bench "This is bull****, man!"

 

[Tetsujin]

Carl Landry did a great job of fighting for that rebound

 

[rainmaker]

Donte maybe? C'mon Westy.

 

[kingzallday]

OK Westphal can we try Donte on Melo now?

 

[kingsboi]

Seriously Dalembert?

 

[hrdboild]

Donte maybe? C'mon Westy.

Yeah, Garcia has cooled off. Probably should try Donte on Melo for the rest of the third at least.

 

[Tetsujin]

OK Westphal can we try Donte on Melo now?

Defense is overrated.

 

[kingzallday]

WTF is Beno doing!!! WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Edit: Bailout foul...

 

[Tetsujin]

Yes Billups, knocking a guy over is a foul. Don't complain. Where's that T?

 

[rainmaker]

I'd bring in Donte and Pooh for their energy.

 

[kingsboi]

That's what...the third or fourth D 3 secs. call?

 

[Nighthawk1]

I'd bring in Donte and Pooh for their energy.

Donte should have found minutes in this game long ago.

...

 

[RookieOfTheDay]

Come on Cousins not this stupid ish again! God damnit.

That's part of who Cousins is. It's not going to change so might as well get used to it.

 

[Tetsujin]

Dear Coach Westphal,
DOnte?

Sincerly,
Kings Fans.
