[Game] Raptors @ Kings Game Thread

I knew they were going to win all along. It is the season opener after all, have to give the home crowd a show! And blowouts are so boring.
 
Way to battle back and finish strong. Great to see the guys who are supposed to be the foundation take over the game.
 
We are clearly improving. Not winning pretty, but it's always a good sign when you win games when you clearly can play better. All 3 wins so far we could have played much better. Good things to come.
 
Yeah you know what we won and are 3-1 but our defense is horrid. We have speant 2 years getting tough guys, shot blockers and good perimeter defenders. If you ask me our defense looked better with Miller and Keven Martin. I mean this is awful. zero perimeter defense on 3 pt shooters. BTW isn't that Donte's specialty???????????
 
Great win like somebody said before me it's great to see guys who we consider in our long term plans step up and get his done. Loved the effort from Beno, Sammy and Darnell Jackson as well...

Now let's cut out this getting down early crap and hop on the Lakers early Weds night:)

It is strange. Our defense inside has gotten better with Dally and DMC as upgrades over Hawes. However, having Landry as your starting PF ( underszed ) kind of negates the upgrade at center. The perimeter defense is just as bad as it was last year, if not worse.
 
I take back everything I said about PW's supposed lack of offensive strategy. The team is clearly following his well-planned and unique scheme - let the other team accumulate a 15+ point lead, then give the players a can of spinach each and unleash them on the unsuspecting opponent. PW - you are indeed ahead of your time.
 
I sure hope to god that we don't get into a hole like this against LA, they won't be nice enough to let us back in the game like these other teams. I want a competitive game all the way through, I hope we all get that infront of a national audience.
 
What an exciting game! I watched the game on NBA pass and boy, Arco was going crazy. It was wild. It is so nice to see that. The Maloof brothers were loving it, too. Contrary to what half of Sacramento thinks of them they are the best owners in the NBA. Dalemburt was a beast as was Cousins. Omri's 3 point bombs were again tremendous. We got the win BUT the Kings need to stop digging themselves in a hole in the first half. They have heart to chip away and get back. Its early in the season and hopefully with another 10 games or so they get more comfortable with each other and start playing better D. BTW, Omri's dish to Cousins in the 4th was HUGE! Go Kings!!!!!!!

I am not expecting too much for the Fakers game.
Simply happy to see that the team made a nice progress in comparison to last year.
But still you never knowwww...

Well, last season we lost the games to Lakers that we should have definitely won...So this season, progress would have to mean a DUBYA!
 
I had about 5 strokes in the 4th quarter, lol. Tyreke was a maestro out there. He went back to what made him so special last season. He was patient and looked for his guys and when it was there, attacked the basket. I can't wait to see what happens when DMC actually gets into REAL NBA shape. I think this team has its "Big Three" in Casspi, DMC and Havoc. I'm so excited to think about how they will grow together and become a real excellent team in a few years. Go Giants, thought I'd throw that in, lol!

Well, after all this I have one question. How the hell did we just win that game?

Euroball via the Raptors, that's how...being 3-1 is great but all the games I've seen thus far involve the other team being just a little more careless in defense or not taking advantage of the Kings defense. Sacto has earned all its wins, but a whole lot of luck was involved too. I hope they not planning the same "fall behind and come right back" with the Lakers...
