I know no one wants to hear this, that to them, its all about the Ws and Ls but that was a fun game to watch and, as a consumer, that is really all you can ask for.

The one major thing that I pulled out of this game: Grant Napear isn't as annoying as many of us would like to think. Ralph Lawler, he of Lawler's Law fame, takes the cake as the play-by-play caller who makes me most want to punch an infant. Whereas Grant at least pretends to get excited about anything, Lawler contents himself with moaning "Bingo!" after just about any made shot. He also contruibuted such great gems as intoning that Carl Landry should be the starter on the team, while simultaneously claiming that JT deserves to start and that Landry is better off as a sixth man. As if that wasn't enough, he had his equally droll, spit-cupping sidekick with whom he complained about the lack of travels (every single time down the court in the first half) and sucked up to Westphal. Yep, I'd take Grant and Jerry any day over that crap.

Once again, it was the third quarter that doomed this team. We cannot afford to keep shooting ourselves in the foot with listless play out of the half. Whoever the hell keeps slipping Tylenol PM in the Gatorade at halftime needs to be fired and pronto.

It amazes me to no ends how much our team will refuse to dump the ball off to DeMarcus in the post. Sure he's young but being given the ball in that situation is the only way he's going to get any better.


More thoughts to come as soon as I'm done crocheting my Pooh Jeter mittens.

On Cousins: They go to him as long as it produces, but as soon as he misses a shot they bail on giving him the ball. During the Pooh-run (no jokes!) they were determined to go through DMC and the offense looked.. coherent. He'll make mistakes, but most of the shots were good shots. What I don't understand is why Landry is sitting outside in that offense and not crashing the board. Landry made himself a 6th man candidate by doing that sort of garbage work. Now he's a high post guy?

My favorite game of the year! I'll miss most of this game but I will probably watch the replay of it later that night. This is going to be very fun to watch, John Wall vs Tyreke, who will brick more jumpers? John Wall is too quick for Reke so we will see how he "attempts" to defend him. If Wall is making his jumper, boy he will be fun to watch. Tyreke on the other end can take him down to the block, while Wall is becoming a good defender, he still is learning. Blatche can give us fits, he can shoot from the outside and dribble his way into the lane with some nifty Jamison like shots. McGee tends to have up and down games, if he stays on the court he will be someone to look out for. Cousins should be able to take him down low and cause him to foul him so he can exit the game. Kings also have to watch out for Nick Young off the bench, that guy has been money since November and he will put em up. I can't wait for this one, there are so many fun match ups, these two teams have bright futures. I'm gonna have to root for the Kings in this one though, I love my Wizards but against the Kings I can't root for them.

This team is really making me sick. It's like the whole franchise just took a massive s*** on themselves and they don't even care(that's the sad part)

Honestly, Lawler made me feel 50 times worse about this loss.

Historically the Clippers have always been a terrible franchise and this season they are just as bad as the Kings. They've been in the playoffs twice in the last 15 seasons! They haven't had too much to cheer about this season except for watching Blake develop and beast on some people. The announcers spaz out on the VERY rare occasions that they win and talk trash in the process. They felt big beating a young and inexperienced team that's in a hole. The Clippers have talent over there and some pieces but it will be a long season for them, too, while playing in a large market.

This will be the 2000th game for the radio voice of the Kings, Gary Gerould! For someone who has seen far too many Kings losses, I hope the team can pull it together and get him a win. Congrats G-man!

I hope Pooh Jeter starts next game. Westphal has tried starting everyone else on the roster, so why not give Pooh a shot too? he seemed to really change things for the better in the Clippers game.

Because when we fall behind by 20 points there won't be anyone off the bench to give us a spark.

Maybe, just maybe, they don't fall behind by 20 if Jeter starts. It's a long shot but at this point, their seasons is for all intents and purposes already over, so might as well give it a shot and see how the team does with Jeter's up tempo style leading the offense. It's not like they could do any worse at this point.

Between how godawful our transition defence is, and how fast John Wall is, I think we can expect a preety great preformence by the number 1 draft pick.

Let's just hope we run right back at them like we did in the 2nd half against the Clippers, cause in a set offence and if our outside shooting continue to suck, McGee is gonna have a block party on our boys.

Nick Young playing out of his freaking mind and hitting shots MJ and Kobe wouldn't be ashamed of in a preety great % isn't something that makes you feel good about this one either.

No Dalembert:

mr_jasonjones

Sam Dalembert will not play tonight. Did not make it back from Philly writer Phil Jasner's funeral in time.

And a hobbled Wall:

SpearsNBAYahoo

Wiz G John Wall walked off court gingerly in Sac pregame with ankle concern after testing it briefly.
