Thornton looks annoyed for some reason

Thats just his face

Outlaw was patting him on the back. I hope he's not angry

Out of Service Pervis - January 1, 2012 reply

ha!

Actually pretty true.

One of my friends asked me a few days ago why Thornton always looks angry.

vikinginferno - January 1, 2012 reply

Is It just me or does Thornton look piss off in the huddle?

cause he got subbed out

john salmons

I like u little more when u play within the offense.

Howard Nevens IV - January 1, 2012 via mobile reply

couldn't agree more

TRADE COUSINS NOW!!

Haha, just kidding, I think.

These are the Kings we know.

Don’t you think?

DTG13 - January 1, 2012 via Android app reply

trade Cuz or fire Westphal? Make up your mind!

How bout

trade Westphal and fire Cousins??!!

DTG13 - January 1, 2012 via Android app reply

I don't know

I can start thinking that when this squad shows up more than the other

Ok.

I spoke too soon. lol
*Shutting up

DTG13 - January 1, 2012 via Android app reply

It's cool!

It’s just funny that it seems it’s either all doom and gloom or sunshine and rainbows. No middle ground. :)

Out of Service Pervis - January 1, 2012 reply

We all know we have a little fair weather inside all of us.

DTG13 - January 1, 2012 via Android app reply

Seriously, anyone think we've got a little Ewing Theory action going on...

without Cousins?

What's that?

Knicks played well when Ewing was out.

Good D

Salmons

This is clearly tyreke's

Lotusprime - January 1, 2012 via mobile reply

This is clearly Tyreke's best game so far

And we’re winning coincidence?

Lotusprime - January 1, 2012 via mobile reply

JT needs to not hesitate on that shot

We need to hire Charles Oakley... there will be no player coach issues if the coach starts punching the players in the face...

Or Bill Lambeer

Worked for Rudy Tomjonovic

Oh wait I have that backwards.

Lotusprime - January 1, 2012 via mobile reply

Ok calm down you cray kings

*crazy

I like cray kings better

The bayou bomber would approve.

Biscuit - January 1, 2012 reply

Hayes misses again

What’s wrong with him? I’m sure he’s capable of making those shots

Tyreke is playing well. Trade him for Maynor while he still has value! I kid.

WTF HAYES

lol, Hayes just wants one basket

thats all he asks

That's all I ask too

All I want is him to make a layup

HHHAAAAAAAAAAYYYYESSSS

lol

we play better without DMC??

Jimmered. - January 1, 2012 reply

#2

At the moment yes.

In the long run, I doubt it.

Jimmy Martin - January 1, 2012 reply

Just 3 quarters but he probably was effin up the locker room

I think you can insert DMC into this game and we do the same things.

If/when we start playing like crap when DMC comes back, do we question if DMC is a good fit for our team?

SharkKings49 - January 1, 2012 reply

without Cousins making them miss free throws

they’re a much better team.

deadenddude - January 1, 2012 reply

I wonder how Cousins feels

watching the Kings dominate tonight.

He’s obviously at home playing Xbox

feelgood - January 1, 2012 reply

he's probably wonder why these guys can't hit free throws like this

when he plays.

deadenddude - January 1, 2012 reply

Ya i just rewound that.

Marcus was pissed after PW told him hes resting. And I partially agree with MT23, he was playing pretty good, Why take him out? He is in good enough shape to play 40+ minutes. Has anybody ever seen Marcus tired? I havent.

We are winning on sheer talent. Not coaching

You're questioning Westphal's substitutions?

Not happy about the sub

But Thornton should not be mad, he’s a pro. Can’t say I blame him though

Hard for Marcus to think about it now

But the way the schedule is this year, it’s important to keep the minutes down. Got a roadie back-to-back-to-back coming up.

otis29 - January 1, 2012 reply

Obviously he is pissed

that DMC is not on the bench to chat with, because all the player love the coach! /chasm

but it goes to show how little faith they have in their coach.

Francisco and Outlaw were both patting MT23 warning him not to go down the DMC path.

it all starts with...

DEFENSE!!!!! be defensive effort so far this year

Howard Nevens IV - January 1, 2012 via mobile reply

Best

Howard Nevens IV - January 1, 2012 via mobile reply

Damm Kamin

Hayes gotta finish that shot

IF Hayes just explodes straight up there he gets fouled for sure.

Took an extra dribble

NO NEED TO PUT THE BALL ON THE GROUND!

why do all of our bigs do it?

X_47 - January 1, 2012 reply

Hayes is crap on offense

Just limited

If by limited

you mean misses a lot of layups, then yes, limited.

So is Outlaw

Jason Jones tweeted earlier that Outlaw hasnt made a basket since the LA game

That is sad

....wow

I hadn’t explicitly noticed, but that is turrable

Hayes finally made a shot!

And then gets it stripped.

Thornton's back

If he’s mad, hope he takes it out on NO

Jimmer with the court vision.

If we have no plans to trade Cousins

Than why on earth did we release a statement saying he demanded to be traded?

It's the kings we're talking about here.

Jimmy Martin - January 1, 2012 reply

This whoe situation is completely weird

Smokescreen!!!

DTG13 - January 1, 2012 via Android app reply

To let the fans know why he was dismissed

Could've done it with more subtle words though

Yes my point exactly.

What a terrible day for us Raider/King fans.

Yes, bad day

If the Kings win, it’ll make it a little better

Bro our DB's

Are painful to watch. Really could have used Nnam this year.

Injuries to half our D and McFadden didn't help either

Why couldn't have we said

he was sick, injured, or just made up any other excuse.

If they wanted to trade him

they would not put out a statement, because it demolishes any trade value

Petrie has never been one to dump young talent like DMC

I think they will work it out in the long run. And Petrie would fire westphal before he trades DMC. I dont think either will happen during the season.

Don't disagree with any of your points

Just seems odd to me to release a statement with trade demands in it… that’s pretty serious.

This is the same team

That released a press release to rescind an offer to a player that they had not told anyone they had even made an offer to him!

Westphal stands up and offers some directions to remind the players he is still the coach

Based on the tone in the locker room last night

I would think reminding people that he’s still the coach would be the last thing he would want to do.

Jimmy Martin - January 1, 2012 reply

the other guards ignore Jimmer all game

allergic to passing to him

This is simply untrue

no it isnt

are you watching the game? 8 total assists, once he passes, its not coming back

Jimmer has plenty of opportunity with the rock in his hands

He’s hit and miss at this point, which is fine. He’s learning.

Your'e not completely off

I have noticed that at times as well, though I don’t know that its intentional, or just poor court awareness by his teammates.

sometimes but Jimmer is often trailing trying to catch up and not in the immediate vicinity of the other guards

Thornton hits 2!

im perplexed by jimmer

he plays no d, not aggressive on offense, and they don’t pass it to him. Why is he on the court.

hes trying to be a team player

rekehavoc13jimmer7 - January 1, 2012 reply

Jimmer was WIDE OPEN!!!

Excellent 3rd quarter..well done, lets finish this right.

Its Amazing

How much better this team looks when they make their free throws I mean night and day difference

Howard Nevens IV - January 1, 2012 via mobile reply

Yeap.

Missing FTs IMO, kills our momentum – thus kills the game for us.

Then there’s ball movement.

DTG13 - January 1, 2012 via Android app reply

yep and when they rebound well and share the ball and don't turn the ball over or take bad shots or.............

This game isn’t that complicated when you do the basic things better than your opponent

You should email them. lol

DTG13 - January 1, 2012 via Android app reply

Outlaw

is the new Dally in offense. I cringe every time he takes a shot, cuss when he bricks it, and nod accordingly when he makes it.

This team really knows how to tease me. No, TNWSS. ;)

DTG13 - January 1, 2012 via Android app reply

Best quarter since LA

yeah people are knockin Jimmer for not shooting more this game

But the dude hasn’t let go of an open look all night (just hasn’t been given them) and he should have a lot more assists then the stats would show

feelgood - January 1, 2012 reply

Excellent 3rd quarter charge, way to go guys!

But as long as Thornton is sporting that stache the franchise is doomed.

rubenho - January 1, 2012 reply

Nothing brings down my temporary high like a Yellow Cab ad.

hey joey wait up

The CISCO KID

Garcia!!!!

Cisco for 3!!

Can we unamnesty Travis Outlaw?

i thought Outlaw could shoot??

Cisco finds his sweet spot

Outlaw....yikes

Dear Jerry...

Please DONT EVER compare Carl Landry to Chris Weber again.
Thanks.

Outlaw should be fined a thousand dollars for every shot.

Lotusprime - January 1, 2012 via mobile reply

Why did we pick up Outlaw, again?

Salary

Cause Petrie makes moves for the sake of making moves

take out Jimmer

he isn’t ready

We get it--you don't like Jimmer.

JediLeroy - January 1, 2012 reply

believe me I want to

but at this stage there is not a whole lot to like

Dude, that's ridiculous.

He’s played pretty well so far this year. Keep up the negativity and someone’s gonna start flagging your posts as trolling.

JediLeroy - January 1, 2012 reply

dude

im jst saying his man gets by him every possesion

Yeah, his defense is weak

Agreed

JediLeroy - January 1, 2012 reply

We knew he wasn't a good defender when we drafted him

But there are positives in his game, plus he’s a rookie

I agree with you completely.

It’s been five games now and Jimmer plays like shit.

Rookies suck at developing after 5 games.

DTG13 - January 1, 2012 via Android app reply

Outlaw is such a space eater

Oh Jimmer,,,,you're a rookie, the refs aren't going to give you the call

I don't like those moves for fouls anyways

so I appreciate the no call. They need to do that more often

yah i hate that call

Garcia for 3!!!

X2

Howard Nevens IV - January 1, 2012 via mobile reply

CISCOOOOOOOO

Garcia hits it again!

Ciscoooooooooooooooooooooooooo

X_47 - January 1, 2012 reply

Outlaw is probably still rusty from his hand surgery

Cant see how he did much shooting in the offseason. He is also very streaky.

Garcia hasn't played and he's making more shots

But yeah it’s possible

Just trying to be positive hehe

When he hot he scary when he’s not he awful

Howard Nevens IV - January 1, 2012 via mobile reply

I hope he has a good streak sometime in the next decade.

thinks he's still playing for the Nets

Outlaw!

Wow!

i actually like outlaw

i think he’s been rusty but he seems to be trying

but he sure cant guard landry

Ouch Thornton runs into the pick and it looks like it hurts a little

When will PW get

that Outlaw can’t play the damn 4? So what if he’s 6’9 he’s also 180

SoCal Diplomat - January 1, 2012 via mobile reply

He's

a ~~wretch~~ stretch 4.

You have to be able to shoot to be a "stretch" anything

hes a real "stretch" at the 4

Playing him anywhere right now is a stretch

What pretty ball movement.

Lotusprime - January 1, 2012 via mobile reply

Keep this up Kings

and you’ll get this W. Some good ball movement and some D to start the 4th. Hopefully they ride this one home

tidge18 - January 1, 2012 reply

Come on Jimmer

So happy to see Cisco play and make his shots.

Me too

Always love seeing him

Jimmer just wasted his only pass of the quarter...

poor kid.

Smallball making me puke

Jimmer is a BUST!

Chasm?

Trololol

Mavs looking pretty meh against the Timberwolves right now

Mavs have looked meh against everyone lately

They really miss Chandler.

DTG13 - January 1, 2012 via Android app reply

Agreed

And they stated that Odom is on a stamina regimen.

aka he’s completely out of shape.

It has become obvious to me that part of the problem is that no one on the team besides Cisco has a game face

Except maybe MT23

otis29 - January 1, 2012 reply

Hate that Evans

Has decided to adopt MJ’s nasty Hitlerstache!

*Thornton

It's a start but it's not as scary as Cisco's

I think it’s worth about a million per year for Marcus, without it he would have only signed for $7 mil per year

Need Tyreke now!

great pass

the1 - January 1, 2012 reply

nice give n go by Hayes

Was that a Princeton cut?

Lotusprime - January 1, 2012 via mobile reply

Jimmer

with the head steal!

why is tyreke out?

5 games in 6 nights thats why

give me evans

jadams12 - January 1, 2012 reply

Damnit Thornton you are lucky you made that

Nice fast break by Jimmer

Thornton with the finish

Would’ve liked to see him pass to Garcia though

I think ariza got mostly ball.

Lotusprime - January 1, 2012 via mobile reply

Bigger black hole?

Cousins, Evans, or Thornton?

Thornton likes to pass the least of the 3

Actually I agree

The order is

Thornton Cousins Evans.

Lotusprime - January 1, 2012 via mobile reply

Cousins and Evans are very close though

Oh and everyone forgot Salmons

All we need is a blackhole Power Forward

and we would have our starting 5!

If only we were in PHX

Black Hole Suns

Sacramental - January 1, 2012 via mobile reply

And if we were to rank black holes throughout the league

All 3 would make the top 10

I think I agree

It’s like he takes no pleasure in an assist

Always looks for his own shot.

dinnertim - January 1, 2012 reply

And makes a lot of them!

hes a classic 2 guard

45 shot attempts in the last 3 games and 3 total assists

And forces alot of them

Shot selection needs work

Have you watched Tyreke this year? Ha!

I didn't say Thornton was the only one. Ha!

Black holes suck.

time ot finish this game off

yikes jimmer doing bad at the 3

CousinsEvansDUO - January 1, 2012 reply

Hickson!

Hickson makes it!

But misses the FT

Wow, when JJ's shot goes in like that you almost believe he can shoot

And then he misses the FT, and you remember he can't

I did say almost

May only have a short range jumper

Hayes should never try post up moves

i dont remember him being quite so bad at it when he was in houston

We said that about Landry too

Sacramento, where careers go to die

Trying too hard on offense

because it wasn't until last season that he started to take some shots before that it was all putbacks

oh man....

we gotta finish this out stronger

WTF HAYES

salmons is like a poor mans ariza

thats saying something

jadams12 - January 1, 2012 reply

recd

Grant's a real prick, snubbing Slamson like that.

Now all I ask is that Chuck get one steal for my fantasy team

great game all around from everybody. Jimmer’s gonna find his stroke eventually. He looks like he belongs out there, which is what really matters.

Jerry Reynolds is a terrific color man

And a horrible spokesperson.

Lotusprime - January 1, 2012 via mobile reply

Anybody else think that people would approach Jimmer as the next Jason Williams if he shaved his head?

He’d get way more positive attention IMO. Nobody talked about how Jason would be a bust because he was the “unathletic white guy”.

I saw JWill play and Jimmer is no JWill. People would just think he looks funny

Wow Rubio has a beard thing!

Worst flipping shot of the year right there!

Hesitated on the jumper

And no one moved to help him

Sure

Because he was looking to pass. Please! Watch the tape again, he wasn’t giving that ball up for anyone. Hence the backwards shot. I swear, the guy has 1 good game and suddenly he isn’t getting the “help” he needs.
Unbelievable.

Look at it again I even rewound it

He hesitated on the jumper, everyone backed off, what was he supposed to do?

Pull it back out, reset at the top, not shoot the ball backwards

Did you see how much time was on the shot clock?

ns

when you dribble dribble dribble….

)thats what happens

It doesn't help when you have no one to pass it to in less than 8 seconds

Wont argue that

Just saying, it shouldn’t have gotten to that in the first place. Furthermore, I could never defend a player taking that shot he took.

Not defending the shot, just the situation

Tyreke didn’t have the ball for the first 16 seconds that much. I believe he got it on a deflection.

Suppose you have to consider conditioning

As in, he hasn’t passed to them in that situation before, so why think it would be any different.
Not down on the dude, in fact I’m stoked he had a great game. Just trying to keep it realistic here. If this sort of play becomes commonplace by him, Ill refrain from defending his teammates. Kings win bro! Kings win!

The positive thing from this game, he didn't have too many of those this game

He had a few bad drives, but not that many, especially in the 2nd half.
But it has to carry over.

It would help if a teammate would help him by getting open

Why won't anyone move?

Evans had no one to pass it to

that was a shot where the left hand could have been useful

He has no left hand.

wtf was that?

Nice behind the back shot Tyreke.

Thornton got the roll

Im on your team... shootin all ur shotz

Must be photoshopped

Who wanted to trade Reke?

all of sacramento apparently

chuckwagon with the steal

to clinch my fantasy victory for the week.

Are you in one of the unoffical leagues here?

mr_jasonjones Jason Jones
Kings adamant Cousins said he wanted to be traded. Cousins side is if he such a cancer why doesn’t the team trade him?

Tyreke is playing good

But hopefully he won’t get over confident and realize he still needs the TEAM to win. More team effort and less over-dribbling, 1v5 basketball from Tyreke.

^This

@mr_jasonjones

Kings adamant Cousins said he wanted to be traded. Cousins side is if he such a cancer why doesn’t the team trade him?

Jimmered. - January 1, 2012 reply

Not the best stance to take from the Cousins camp.

Seems to me like he said something “in the heat of the moment” that was taken out of context. Bot sides should publicly treat it that way, at least.

that makes more sense to me.

I doubt she seriously demanded a trade, but more of a sarcastic remark. Another reason why THIS SHOULD HAVE NEVER LEAKED OUT. We dont know half the facts. Terrible decision making from the front office.

Exactly

We could never get face value for him.

Saying he made the request twice implies it's real

If Cousins really wants to be traded

and given this performance tonight, try to get Rondo, build from there.

mjalmighty - January 1, 2012 reply

Man Rubio looks nice running an offense

Jealous…

He never stops moving, even without the ball

surprisingly he winds up in the right place at the right time alot

Cousins for Monroe and their 1st next year

I’d do it.

In a heartbeat

But Detroit wouldn’t. I don’t know that they’d trade Monroe straight up.

I bet we could get Dumars to do it.

Darko’d

What about Cousins / JT / Outlaw

for
Monroe / Jerebko?

I kinda like Jerebko

But Outlaw automatically destroys any deal

There goes Westphal coaching again.

Nice outlet.

I’m alright now but last game I was in rough shape.

I wanted him gone as soon as I saw his post game interview last night.

Not everyone feels like you. I think most of us want him to stay.

I wouldnt disagree. But I think I am allowed to not like Cousins if I want to.

Am I allowed to have a different opinion on the matter than you?

Or does that make me stupid?

use the reply button

I was actually continuing

my reply to RaiderKing. Wasn’t sure how to do it

Well,

given that you replied to yourself…

No, but I was just saying this opinion is a little premature

But you are entitled to whatever you want to believe, and I am entitled to question it if I want. Doesn’t make either of us wrong or stupid.

Well, it was sort of a joke...

I don’t really think hes going anywhere. I have never liked his attitude, though..

Didn't Spencer get traded after the bump?

you mean “what a difference the team you play makes”

dont care

Good game by Reke and MT23

But lets keep it in perspective, they’r going up against Jarrett Jack and Marco Belinelli. Also Eric Gordon didn’t play. Good game none the less.

A good game is a good game

Shouldn’t they be rigging the games a bit more to make them look better?

Haven't watched the game yet

Did cousins play? I know we won by 16!

FTFeli - January 1, 2012 via mobile reply

No he was "excused" from team activities.

Lotusprime - January 1, 2012 via mobile reply

He played Call of Duty.

2-3 record

from the stat you wouldn’t know that the team is on the brink of collapse. it will be an interesting next few days as to how all this mess pans out. But good win boys.

4 Tough teams coming up

that win might only make the Cousins situation more strained

we will see, but it might take leverage away from Cuz, where he thought maybe Westphal would just be fired

Where is his manager in all of this?

where is Otis Hughley when you need him?

getting let go could be part of the problem

Hiring him in the first place

Could be part of the problem.

Agreed, DMC got what he wanted

I feel Otis Hughley had absolutely no influence on DMC’s professionalism. In fact, he probably took it as an insult that the NBA team would hire his HIGH SCHOOL coach to baby shit his ass.

sit*

So your saying the I want to be traded issues could have started last season

Hughley

Is more than cousins’ high school coach.

Lotusprime - January 1, 2012 via mobile reply

Like what? His Fatherly figure?

I watched Otis pretty closely last year and it appeared he had little to no input on the Kings Coaching staff. Hell, he didn’t even get a front row seat during the games. He was usually sitting BEHIND whiteside. And he appeared confused and lost during the halftime interviews.

The block as play of the game?

They still scored… I’m sure Jerry didn’t approve

86% FT, lower TO's, plus bench was the spark

Cisco’s 3ptrs, JT’s hustle and contributions from Jimmer and Outlaw did them in the 3rd Qtr

Kind of Random...

What is the point of ties? Like why the hell do we wear them, they serve no purpose

like bra's, but for men...where they can show off something sexy

feelgood - January 1, 2012 reply

Bras definitely serve a purpose

Ties are useful

You can take them off and use them as straps for lashing cargo,etc.

Cousins felt singled out by Westphal after the loss to the Knicks, which began this scenario. Westphal/DMC spoke in coach’s office.

mr_jasonjones Jason Jones
Kings say they have kept other problems with Cousins under wraps but last night meant something had to be done to send a message.

mr_jasonjones Jason Jones
The question is what about demanding a trade requires a player to sit out? Dwight Howard is playing, right? Wonder about incidents…

mr_jasonjones Jason Jones
…not being discussed. By the way, Kigns won 96-80 to improve to 2-3 on the season, end 3-game losing streak. 27pts for Evans, Thornton: 25

mr_jasonjones Jason Jones
Team flight leaves for Memphis at 1pm tomorrow. Cousins could fly commercial for Tuesday’s game if he misses the flight

Really surprised about the openness of the Cousins situation even on the broadcast

usually they hide this stuff for the casual crowd

ohhh man.....

WHY oh WHY westphail…. do u have to comment on the DMC trade remark.

Just thinking aloud here

But if and this is just a hypothetical IF we look to trade DMC, do we maybe look at Andrew Bogut? I mean… that’d be cool.

SoCal Diplomat - January 1, 2012 reply

We need to get Beno and Brockman back too

No way Milwaukee would give up Bogut for a troublesome DMC

How about this...

DMC, Salmons, Outlaw and Whiteside for Bogut, Mbah a Moute and Brockman? Do you think that’d be possible?

SoCal Diplomat - January 1, 2012 reply

Still don't see why they do it

I don’t see why they would consider trading Bogut at all

i would take Bogut

hes a wayyyyy better defender than DMC, just let the guards run the offense
