[Game] Sacramento Kings @ Boston Celtics, 2/7/14 4:30 PST, 7:30 EST

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Celtics are tanking this one, same record as us, they want us to get some separation from them and for us to have the tie breaker. I hate that they will probably get rewarded too as the big markets tend to do when in the lottery.

Say what now? Is that why the Cavaliers have won the lottery as many times (4) as the Knicks, Lakers, Bulls and 76ers combined?

Oh, those teams haven't spent much time in the lottery, you say? Well, the Clippers sure have. They've won the lottery three times, the same number of times as the "big market" Orlando Magic. What about the major market Golden State Warriors, who missed the playoffs something like seventeen times in eighteen years, and won the lottery exactly once in that entire timespan?

 

[PurpleHaze]

Why does Grant always tell us "there will be a timeout at the next whistle?" It's just odd. What's the point?

You can start to see why some Celt fans have apathy for green. Never watched him really but I don't sense motor or decision making

Something tells me you have that stored on notepad or the like.

That was a bad call on the charge though. He had left his feet and Cousins slid under him (excuse the weird terminology)

That's not something that's unique to Napear, so I would presume that it's something that they teach broadcasters, or something. Perhaps there is an assumption that there's at least one person tuning into that specific game, that had never seen an NBA game before.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

No, it's just that my man Hidden Dragons and I spend a lot of time speculating on past drafts.

 

[Chubbs]

Ah, someone else who shares my opinion. I also think it's odd how he keeps track of team fouls as if the game will live or die depending on a free throw. Granted they sometimes do but listen to him.

When a team goes into the penalty, grant gets very excited.

 

[treach1976]

wow Acy --- give that to Cuz!

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Isaiah loves getting his shot blocked at the end of quarters

 

[PurpleHaze]

Just step on the gas Kings and run Boston out their own building.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

D-Will responding with some nice intelligent play

 

[mac]

Lol who didn't see that IT layup attempt coming

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Egad, Gorman and Heinsohn are like noise pollution. One of only four announce teams in the entire league where I would actually rather listen to Napear and Reynolds.

 

[enigma99a]

This lineup on the floor is doing pretty good. I might get flamed for saying this, but I think Acy > JT. And he's only been in the league for a year

 

[HereWeBoogie]

The offense this lineup is running is just poopoo

 

[JLoss22]

Drive or post up Dwill!

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I don't think you should get flamed. I think you're wrong, though.

Jimmer is probably the only one who can hit anything. Hopefully the starters will get a quick breather and get back on the floor

 

[JLoss22]

wow this is terrible....

 

[HereWeBoogie]

This lineup can't even score 1 freakin point lol

 

[mac]

Yeah it would be great if Carl Landry would like to start doing something.

 

[gman23]

I see Jimmer is making his presence known

 

[Glenn]

Jimmer needs to shoot.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Yay 0 points with Cousins on the bench. Pathetic

 

[mac]

Jimmer needs to shoot.

I agree. Rest of the lineup is useless

 

[enigma99a]

I don't think you should get flamed. I think you're wrong, though.

I think the only thing that bothers me about JT is if he doesn't have it going some nights, he'll keep looking to get shots. I'd rather have him do this thing on D and try to set up shots for DMC etc.

Nice setup from JT to DMC.. We need more of that!

 

[mac]

Yay 0 points with Cousins on the bench. Pathetic

This is where I sometimes question Malone's rotations. I mean tell me in what universe does a lineup of Jimmer/McLemore/Dwill/Acy/Landry sound like a good idea? Heck putting Gray instead of Landry would probably be better just to set some legit screens to free up Jimmer. Why not take Cousins out earlier in the 1st while IT is still in the game?

 

[CelticsFan]

Funny they just said on the Celtics broadcast that Cousins said "Sullinger is one of the few guys in the league he respects"

 

[PurpleHaze]

Cuz should have 40 tonight at least.
