That's what I'm talking about, take it to the hole big man!

 

[Arco Thunder]

THis is the time to experiment. I honestly think they are just trying to tire cousins out... I would too.... he needs to learn the hard way that not working out and lifting weights in this league is a recipe to get owned in the NBA. No matter your talents.
He needs to see what this league is about and it looks like he is.... and these are D-Leaguers. He has a few months to get himself in the best shape of his life or this will be a nightly thing... This is where the risk reward gamble goes. The kid has a solid frame to build on and incredible talent. But his body is very under developed. He lacks endurance and lower body strength.

Good point, M_Barragan.

finally, take it to the rim cousins

 

[Dime Dropper]

Whiteside playing a very nice game.

 

[Circa_1985_Fan]

Wow, Hassan Chop showing some range! Best game so far...definitely showing that he belongs!

 

[cuad]

Donte Greene should have passed that to Whiteside earlier in the possession. Luckily, Whiteside has ice in his veins.

 

[annihilator_33]

whiteside with some range again

 

[cuad]

Thompson making plays ♥

 

[Arco Thunder]

It looks like they've come out to play now!

 

[cuad]

Nice chuck, Donte.

 

[annihilator_33]

It looks like they've come out to play now!

definitely, they're showing way better energy

 

[Circa_1985_Fan]

Chris Richard playing like Chris Bosh this game.

 

[Circa_1985_Fan]

Samuels has an NBA body...playing very aggressive.

 

[cuad]

Rice refusing to pass the ball to a wide open Ryan Thompson

 

[Dime Dropper]

Damn big Cuz! This is on the coaching staff - you force him to get his big body down low or you sit his ***. He needs to learn. All the talent in the world but is settling for too many jumpers.

 

[Circa_1985_Fan]

DMC still remaining calm with the officials, good sign.

 

[Tetsujin]

Oh good, Sloan's out

 

[Circa_1985_Fan]

Kings reverting to their 1st half offense already.

 

[ReinadelosReys]

I think Whiteside has been the best player for the Kings today

 

[Circa_1985_Fan]

Not a fan of Sloan...reminds me of Jason Hart...

 

[Circa_1985_Fan]

Damn, Byars!

 

[cuad]

Poor coaches yelling at Whiteside to get in the paint, and Whiteside confused because he doesn't want to get three in the key. Ends up getting it anyway.

 

[Circa_1985_Fan]

How sluggish does our unit look out there right now?

 

[cuad]

Cousins passes out of the double team and Dionte gives it right back. Great ball.

 

[Arco Thunder]

How sluggish does our unit look out there right now?

It doesn't look like the first game they played during this summer league, that's for sure!

 

[Circa_1985_Fan]

Even though he missed it, good to see DMC going to his bread and butter...and damn if Samuels isnt pwning DMC!!

 

[Circa_1985_Fan]

DMC definitely doesnt want to be on the court right now...frustration is an understatement.

 

[ElRey]

Demarcus is REALLY tired...all he did was swipe at that ball on the last play

 

[Chupacabra]

Can Elie just cut all of our guards right now? Please dont make me watch the likes of Downey/Rice/Sloan anymore. Please...

 

[Dime Dropper]

Samuels completely outplaying Cousins. Needs to get his butt in shape.

Whiteside having a solid game. Everyone else is meh. Can't see us pulling this one back, just not enough effort.
