Tyreke has the ability to break Murphy's ankles off. I'd love to see it..

not ankles, hoofs

 

[kingzallday]

Lol great acting by Granger.

lol

Does anybody else feel that Donte could be playing just as good of defense as Udoka at this point?

Edit: not that it matters. Good game boys

 

[Sptsjunkie]

You have to be kidding me. What did Sergio do? I am watching freaking Yahoo updates.

 

[Nighthawk1]

Nice win

 

[Merdiesel]

two 4 game winning streaks!

F yes!

Go Kings!

 

[kingzallday]

Tyreke with the closeout Free-throws

Yep, somtimes I think he's better with this athleticism and quickness.

 

[AriesMar27]

its funny how the pacers didnt want to foul sergio but waited to foul evans who is now 5/6 in crunch time... kings win... 2nd 4 game winning streak of the season.

well balanced win... good game.

 

[Sptsjunkie]

Never mind. Yahoo said Sergio offensive foul, but apparently they were wrong and changed it to Reke hitting FTs.

Good win.

 

[DeMoN]

I swear tyreke can look so emotionless its scary..

 

[AriesMar27]

Yep, somtimes I think he's better with this athleticism and quickness.

udoka is whack... everytime i see him i think about how much i miss garcia so that he wont get anymore minutes...

 

[TheWileyVet]

edit: comp is trippin out...

 

[Merdiesel]

Tyreke on players talking trash on the last free throws...

"It's fun to knock down the shot and see them loose."

This kids awesome. Superstar in the making. Go Kings!

 

[AriesMar27]

I just got home and we're up!! I hope we can hold on..


that being said, how've we looked?

deja vu....

 

[NME]

Hack-A-Reke?

 

[AriesMar27]

Hack-A-Reke?

i know... he was hot from the line the entire game, why on earth did they choose to foul him? lucky for us i suppose.

 

[Kings Faithful]

So Spencer appears to be out of his slump with 3 solid games in a row. I hope he doesn't get trashed on for a little while.

 

[Larry89]

Next up Suns, Tyreke vs Nash, I have a feeling if Tyreke and man handle Nash and we outrebound anemic suns front court then we have a chance to win

 

[modestodave]

was not able to see the game, but heard enough to know that we did not play our best game. But we Won anyway!!! When I look back over the last two seasons, man it is like night and day! We just need to continue with the effort and hustle every game and these type of wins will become routine.

Westpaul> Coach of the Year!

Suns have been blown out two games in a row. They will not take it easy on us. I think Amare is going to be a problem....

I'm loving Coach Westphal. Its so nice to have an actual coach again who actually has earned the teams respect. Doesn't it seem forever ago when Kenny Natt graced the sidelines with his presence?

I find it interesting that many fans seem to only focus on his bad play, and at the same time do the opposite for JT.

 

[kingzallday]

^Yep, JT had horrible game on the glass tonight, but he made it up by scoring the ball.

Amare is averaging 6.8 rebounds per game. I hope he doesn't go beast mode like he sometimes can, but is his usual "I only care about scoring" self. Seriously, it's a shame he even admits he doesn't try when he's not scoring, and he doesn't box out and fight for rebounds despite his freakish athleticism.

we might be their revenge game... but dragic and frye have been playing well it should be a fun game to watch.

Pretty much.

 

[chasen4r1]

I think part of that has to do with JT's hustle and effort. Most of the time, JT crashes the boards and serves as our garbage man.

Hawes on the other hand irritates a lot of fans when he wastes his size by launching of shots from behind the arc.

I can't speak for all the fans, but thats been my main source of criticism for Hawes. If Hawes spent more time banging around in the post rather than shooting jumpers, I wouldn't be so critical.

Well, according to some of our fans, Tyreke and Spencer don't deserve a learning curve, while JT is just considered a hustle player so anything else he adds is a bonus.
