[Game] Portland vs. Kings, Tuesday Nov. 12, 7 PM PT/10 PM ET

[Pacboy]

great win! To think, a couple ball bounce our way and we could have been 6-4

 

[VF21]

Vlade's strategy of acquiring as many good, non-horrible defenders as possible finally paying off.

Vlade's strategy overall is looking better and better. Maybe his vision wasn't so blurred after all.

Does jerry not hear like every other person say bjelica’s name? Or does he just not give a F and think, I’m gonna say “belicia” anyways

 

[gunks]

Luke is starting to look like a good hire! He has these guys scrapping and playing defense!

I'm scared/pumped for Friday's game. Before I was just scared!

 

[VF21]

Gutsy, gutsy win. The Kings played their A$$ off in this game. They played extremely hard, especially on the defensive end. Tremendous performances from so many - Bogs, Barnes, Bjelica, Holmes, and yes, Joseph, who had a huge challenge on his hands with Lillard. Coach Walton has to be given major kudos in this win. This team looked extremely well coached.

I would "like" this multiple times if I could. Since I cannot, I'm just going to QFT.

Worlds away from those first three games.

Worlds away from those first three games.

Which is why these injuries hurt even more. it looks like we would have been improving and could have fought our way back into PO contention

Jerry is Jerry. Bjelica is not the first name by any means he cannot pronounce. At this point, I don't care. Jerry is pure gold, and I'm so glad they've got him involved. I think he does a lot better with Koz than he did with Grant - partially because Koz is nowhere near as irritating as Howdy Doody.

You might want to save this comment for a night when we lose.

"And that's why defense is important."

That just about says all, Coach Walton!

Jerry gives no F's. That's why we love him.

Im starting to like this coach

The Holmeses weighing in:

This makes me love signing Holmes even more

 

[206Fan]

Or better yet, step on the gas then step on their throats!

WAY TO CALL IT!

 

[SLAB]

Walton totally reminds me of Detective Billy Rosewood.

We still can.

 

[VF21]

How odd is it the coach we brought in who was supposed to be the defensive expert could never teach the Kings defense and the Hollywood pretty boy who was coasting on his dad's name actually seems to get it...and can teach it?

 

[VF21]

Walton totally reminds me of Detective Billy Rosewood.

One of my top three favorite Eddie Murphy flicks.

 

[SLAB]

A coach smiling and cracking a joke instead of being cold and passive aggressive. I can get used to this.

 

[ockingsfan]

"And that's why defense is important."

That just about says all, Coach Walton!

Maybe this team forges a strong defensive identity while their 2 star offensive players (Fox and Bagley) are out with injuries.

That will only help in the long run.

 

[VF21]

"We're a third quarter team. I don't know if you guys know that..." (delivered with a killer grin)

James Ham: You guys went at them in the third quarter, got to the free throw line a lot. What was the difference?

Coach Luke: A great half-time speech.

I LOVE THIS GUY!!!

Think about it. It fits perfectly with Vlade. They are absolutely on the same page in the same book.

 

[Larry89]

I am quite surprised at the fight in this team has the dog of the past two years but a few different faces, we've actually been quite competitive in every game since the blowout in Utah.

 

[VF21]

Also from Coach Luke: It's about never being satisfied. Always wanting to go out and get better..

Now, in other news, why is Jerry trying to grow a mustache?

 

[LoungeLizard]

Just leaving the game. Just a gutsy gutsy win. We easily could’ve folded in the 1st Qtr when we were shooting like 17% but the guys scrapped and kept it close. I feel like Walton coached his arse off, the guys are buying in and it’s exciting. We may be undermanned without Fox, but this team is not going to quit.

 

[Amiga]

I really hope Ariza is fit for next game.

 

[Section 101]

I've never been good at photography, but got the timing right on this one.

Napred Bjelica!!!

Idemo Beli! Hajde Beli! Psenica Bjelica

 

[kingsboi]

by far the most entertaining game of the season thus far, the Kings played superb defense and they didn't falter in the third. Kudos to the fellas for a collective unit. That's how you win games when you have injuries to deal with.
