Is this team isn’t a great passing team obviously…but not only is our spacing bad, but if your going to HAVE good spacing, you don’t just space out and then its good…you need to move even when you dont have the damn ball… Im sick of watching all these games and I continue to keep seeing them space, but nobody is moving, and the person with the ball looks a bit puzzled.. There is no point in spacing if you aren’t going to move without the ball. Thats another reason why kings struggle with assists, if you could move without the ball, things open up, and maybe we wouldn’t be last place
I think we r in for another season with the worst or second worst record in the league. Face it, we got lucky againsst the (expletive)s and bucks. We beat the hornets tho.
Cuz was demanding a double team down low, when he can get those passes out to open 3 shooters he will go to the next level, he is almost there. Loving it cousins.
Tyreke will loose playing time if he doesn't listen to our coach Cousins, look what happened to PW. The sad thing is Cuz, is 100% right, he should be first option all the time.
Cousins will be in the rest of the game, this is where all that rest comes into place. We need to see how he does, if he can beast the final 12 minutes. I like the call, good offense all the time.
The Kings may pull this out the thing that worries is me is
The Kings against the NYK – no Amar’e = loss
Denver no Nene = loss
Milwaukee no Bogut -= win
Orlando with essentially no DHoward = loss
Philly with Hawes = loss
Now Raptors with non factor Bargnini = scary
I actually agree with you here. While Evans is a beast of a slasher, and has a semi-miraculous finishing talent, he’s not a shooter, and unless he somehow gains a consistent jumper, he’ll never be an elite offensive player.
On the other hand, literally every time he actually attempts to lock down his opponent, he does. Just think back, even in this young season, to the 4th quarters of winnable games, and the defensive impact Reke has had. He even locked down Rose to the point that the Bull’s star player couldn’t even touch the ball.
I seriously believe that Reke could be the Howard of the 1-2, but he would have to focus in order to do that. Of course, if he could focus that hard, he’d have a jumper, and know how to run a real play, and then I’d be saying something more along the lines of the Lebron of the 1-2.
I’ve watched him play for the last three years and never seen him miss so many shots. Most of them don’t even seem to be heavily contested. I don’t understand how he could make shots over triple teams in college, even against NBA-caliber players, and can’t make an open shot in the NBA.
I didn’t know my comment was so ground shaking that it could challenge the very foundation of STR. I just don’t think it’s cool to have a dance thread after every win, excuse the fuck outta me.
Decent game from the few minutes I was able to watch.
Venomy, I couldn’t respond earlier since I was helping a coworker, and I don’ t want to push the page back up, but I wasn’t trying to read anything into the team reacting to help Cousins up. I just thought the instant reaction from everyone looked funny (funny as in humorous, not suspicious). If anything I’ll be one of the first to say that Cousins has been exceptionally professional when faced with any remotely confrontational situation, so the last thing I wanted to do was to paint him in any negative light.
We’re seeing them, though not exactly in the context that may have complained about and envisioned before. But at least I get the impression that everyone at least knows what they should be doing.
Good win. IT had an amazing game and Tyreke/Cousins.
Despite the misses, I loved to see Jimmer shooting the hell out of it. It’s a way more comfortable feeling than seeing Salmon’s do the same. And Jimmer’s D was not as atrocious tonight.
I know many want Isaiah Thomas to be the answer after this game
but you should probably take this game with a grain of salt. The teams probably have not game planned for him much yet or taken him into account as much with his low minutes going into the game. Also, I don’t know if his legs will stay as fresh and he will continue to play at this high of a level when given consistent minutes.
It would be a good story, but I’m not sure if it can go on like this forever.
We got this
Its the freaking Raptors
SharkKings49 - January 11, 2012
They're probably saying the same thing about us.
CoolFinity - January 11, 2012
Jimmer needs to shoot those open 3 looks
Kings Fan In AR - January 11, 2012
He is
and he’s missing them
CrimeD - January 11, 2012
I noticed he passed one up
trying to multi task playing two poker tables
Kings Fan In AR - January 11, 2012
Well, he's winning both games.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
What site?
CrimeD - January 11, 2012
Post up Cuz
CrimeD - January 11, 2012
Cousins is playing great D and covering for a lot of mistakes by others
rubenho - January 11, 2012
This.
He’s actually been REALLY good on defense this year, when he plays the man straight up and keeps his hands up.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
Too many Hickson isos. Don't like it. Need more Reke/Cousins
Scirocco - January 11, 2012
too many iso's period.
adamsite - January 11, 2012
Its fine if you have the right guys in iso
Scirocco - January 11, 2012
We don't have any of the right guys. Only a handful in the league fall into that category.
adamsite - January 11, 2012
Reke and cousins play well maybe trying to get Hickson out of his funk. Maybe just guessing
Howard Nevens IV - January 11, 2012 via mobile
Hickson
Back to back positive plays on offense?
Howard Nevens IV - January 11, 2012 via mobile
Didn't he just brick a midrange J?
Scirocco - January 11, 2012
Why does jimmer suck? He is looking like salmons out there…….
CousinsEvansDUO - January 11, 2012
frustrating i know. jimmer cant even make threes
jadams12 - January 11, 2012
he's too close to the rim.
adamsite - January 11, 2012
at least he passes
adamsite - January 11, 2012
*Tries to pass
LLcoolRay - January 11, 2012
give cousins the goddamn ball on O
jadams12 - January 11, 2012
How was that foul on Reke
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
he wanted the foul on him to save cousins
jadams12 - January 11, 2012
He put his hand up before Cuz
Gilo424 - January 11, 2012
Foul called and both Reke and Cuz just put their hands up
but in the “it was on me” type of way. Progress!
Gilo424 - January 11, 2012
Hickson shouldn't take on anyone off the dribble.
adamsite - January 11, 2012
As bad as we are we are still winning
SharkKings49 - January 11, 2012
Good foul Jimmer, and he didn't score, that must be a flagrant 2.
pickupballer - January 11, 2012
idk what rapts fans see in Derozan
nothing special
jadams12 - January 11, 2012
He has his moments.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
Well, considering the JT/David West comparisons and exited about Casspi for awhile there
hey just sayin
wallywagon11 - January 11, 2012
Well, JT is a poor man's David West. But he's a better rebounder.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
and not as good everyone else (pre West injury though, no clue now)
wallywagon11 - January 11, 2012
wow I REALLY can't type today
*everywhere
wallywagon11 - January 11, 2012
Well, yeah, but I don't know what West gives you that JT wouldn't in the same minutes.
A few more points a game, but, not much else.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
see more of a rich man's Ed Davis personally
wallywagon11 - January 11, 2012
guh league pass just crapped out
Scirocco - January 11, 2012
more JT less Hickson please
sdfd - January 11, 2012
Hickson
cost us a shot there
Reke_Havoc13 - January 11, 2012
Good design to get the ball to Cuz and he passed out of the deep, that was positive even though it ended in a TO
pickupballer - January 11, 2012
What gets me angry...
Is this team isn’t a great passing team obviously…but not only is our spacing bad, but if your going to HAVE good spacing, you don’t just space out and then its good…you need to move even when you dont have the damn ball… Im sick of watching all these games and I continue to keep seeing them space, but nobody is moving, and the person with the ball looks a bit puzzled.. There is no point in spacing if you aren’t going to move without the ball. Thats another reason why kings struggle with assists, if you could move without the ball, things open up, and maybe we wouldn’t be last place
Tyro18 - January 11, 2012
last place in assists*
Tyro18 - January 11, 2012
i dont see all the hype regarding hickson either
give me JT in the starting lineup
jadams12 - January 11, 2012
JIMMER!
Reke_Havoc13 - January 11, 2012
Jimmy Triple
RJinFairOaks - January 11, 2012
Hickson
Is there any way we could package JJ And Salmons?
FTFeli - January 11, 2012 via mobile
at least JJ.
Slam_Dunk - January 11, 2012
for Granger...yummmmmmmmmm
adamsite - January 11, 2012
Jimmer!!!
AkaP - January 11, 2012
Jimmer!
A Night At The Arco - January 11, 2012
Cousins is beasting on the boards.
DiegoKing - January 11, 2012
7 assists, 8 turnovers
sdfd - January 11, 2012
Jimmer - more please.
Slam_Dunk - January 11, 2012
JIMMAH!!!!
Fuck yea
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
Anyone else notice that our guards look at the open man and just drive it in after deciding that they won't give the ball up?
Reke_Havoc13 - January 11, 2012
If you saw our shooting percentages, wouldn't you do the same?
elfboy_ - January 11, 2012
SO TRUE
mdotbrown - January 11, 2012
Hickson with a horrible game thus far.
DiegoKing - January 11, 2012
hickson sucks
jadams12 - January 11, 2012
Uh come on JJ
Give him one hard fake and go straight up.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
It’s funny that as soon as Jimmer hits a 3 everyone forgets all the ones he misses
LLcoolRay - January 11, 2012
Wow hickson wtf!!!!!!!
CousinsEvansDUO - January 11, 2012
wtf Hickson
4 turnovers. All of them stupid
sdfd - January 11, 2012
Is there such a thing as a smart turnover?
aside from our coaching change that is.
elfboy_ - January 11, 2012
Well, a well-intentioned TO isn't necessarily a result of a stupid decision
Which is what he was getting at.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
they were unforced
I guess that’s what I was trying to say
sdfd - January 11, 2012
Is it just me or does Jimmer look more comfortable on the floor?
Slam_Dunk - January 11, 2012
He is making decisions faster, adjusting to the game.
pickupballer - January 11, 2012
Well he definitely doesn't look scared to shoot this game. But yea!
Tyro18 - January 11, 2012
it's all that weed in toronto
(crossing fingers hoping someone gets the reference)
wallywagon11 - January 11, 2012
Canadian weed. Learn something new everyday.
Slam_Dunk - January 11, 2012
He's going to be really good if he ever really settles in.
I think he will. May not be this season though.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
Uhhhh
Why did Salmons just run AWAY from the guy shooting a 3?
LLcoolRay - January 11, 2012
I know, what the hell. He just watched him
SharkKings49 - January 11, 2012
He'd rather deny his man the ball and leave someone else's man wide open.
zo0m - January 11, 2012
hickson is shit
wth is he doing… stupid turnovers
Drew Q - January 11, 2012
Keep taking them Jimmer.
Slam_Dunk - January 11, 2012
Salmons
Don’t assume that it’s your possession before running back
Reke_Havoc13 - January 11, 2012
Salmons runs away from the player with the ball again.
Something I’ve noticed every game.
zo0m - January 11, 2012
Mmmmmm 36 beers on tap...I'm moving
Kings Fan In AR - January 11, 2012
I could use 36 beers right now
SharkKings49 - January 11, 2012
River Rock in Midtown? Or Alley Katz?
RJinFairOaks - January 11, 2012
Maybe he's playing defense with his eyes
just stare em down and they’ll miss
mdotbrown - January 11, 2012
For all the negativity on JJ, his athletic defense has been good on Bargs. 2-13
adamsite - January 11, 2012
tru. maybe thats why he's in
but then he shouldnt be eating up touches with isos
jadams12 - January 11, 2012
At least when jimmer shoots the 3 I dont cringe……but when anyone else does I do.
CousinsEvansDUO - January 11, 2012
just 7 team assists
jadams12 - January 11, 2012
if we lose this,
I think we r in for another season with the worst or second worst record in the league. Face it, we got lucky againsst the (expletive)s and bucks. We beat the hornets tho.
2001nbachampions - January 11, 2012 via iPhone app
Mhmm. Sure. Make that decision 4 games after a major coaching change and a huge team philosophy shift.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
Man we should not be struggeling so much against this team
rubenho - January 11, 2012
Monday at Minnesota?? Maaaan.. I miss Adolf.
MitchRich2 - January 11, 2012
Cousins is so lazy, @3%K
KINGKENJI - January 11, 2012
Dammit we need more assists! I hate basketball without assists.
CousinsEvansDUO - January 11, 2012
Amen to that, hard to watch!!
pickupballer - January 11, 2012
Cuz was demanding a double team down low, when he can get those passes out to open 3 shooters he will go to the next level, he is almost there. Loving it cousins.
pickupballer - January 11, 2012
Huh, are you watching the freaking game, your hero is so lazy
KINGKENJI - January 11, 2012
For the love of god
Why is Salmons still in the game?!
Reke_Havoc13 - January 11, 2012
for the hate of god?
bignerd - January 11, 2012
10 games, you'll see!! You'll all see!!
DiegoKing - January 11, 2012
Its only up from here
SharkKings49 - January 11, 2012
I kind of hope he doesn't just so youll complain more
Tyro18 - January 11, 2012
I actually hope you are right.
I am a big Kings fan, ya know?
DiegoKing - January 11, 2012
His vet leadership is too valuable to leave on the bench.
zo0m - January 11, 2012
Will he stop driving baseline and passing it right to the defender after 10 games?
Reke_Havoc13 - January 11, 2012
I hope not
Tyro18 - January 11, 2012
Turnover turnover, turnover.....
DiegoKing - January 11, 2012
Defense please.....too many easy scores!
Someone hit barbosa hard please!
Tyro18 - January 11, 2012
If we are going to play one on one, at least sign Iverson
Maybe he can teach us how to ball hog and win
SharkKings49 - January 11, 2012
Honestly, no one can blame the coaching anymore. It IS the product.
MitchRich2 - January 11, 2012
i swear nobody hits open j's on this team
jadams12 - January 11, 2012
John Salmons 7.8 PER this season
sdfd - January 11, 2012
Anyone else watching the Canadian feed?
“Linus Kleiza with the rebound, and the repaired right knee.”
Classic
Olde Greg - January 11, 2012
Missed shot, but nice ball movement
CoolFinity - January 11, 2012
DeMarcus Needs to go to the other side of the court
Somehow he ends up on the same side as John Salmons every time. That guy can’t make a post entry pass to save his life
mdotbrown - January 11, 2012
The Kings sucks the kings suck
KINGKENJI - January 11, 2012
Donte at the 4 never works
Scirocco - January 11, 2012
Dontre
AkaP - January 11, 2012
I dont understand
What JT needs to do to get more minutes?
MichaelMack - January 11, 2012
IT nice drive and kick
adamsite - January 11, 2012
Thank you Dontre
Slam_Dunk - January 11, 2012
It took Seattle/OKC 3 years to rebuild. We've been rebuilding for what 5 years now?
WE SHOULD BE BETTER THAN OKC!
MitchRich2 - January 11, 2012
We would if we had Durant.
ResetSmith - January 11, 2012
B.s.
MitchRich2 - January 11, 2012
How so?
How so?
ResetSmith - January 11, 2012
If we spent money on productive players. Didn't have cheap ass owners, I think we'd be contending.
MitchRich2 - January 11, 2012
Yeah but we couldn't get anyone on the open market 1/4 as good as Durant.
They really lucked into him. That’s the way it goes for small market teams you suck until you get a superstar in the draft. Welcome to the NBA.
ResetSmith - January 11, 2012
Look at Dallas. A real team with a bunch of vets. No one superstar otherbthan a great leader in Dirk
MitchRich2 - January 11, 2012
Other than*
MitchRich2 - January 11, 2012
You mean other former MVP Dirk Nowitzki?
Touche sir, you should really be a lawyer.
ResetSmith - January 11, 2012
Not really
Have to win the lottery when you suck
bignerd - January 11, 2012
And yeah we do..
MitchRich2 - January 11, 2012
LOUD NOISES
I’M ANGRY AND I WANT PEOPLE TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT
wallywagon11 - January 11, 2012
COUSINS!!!!!!!!

Well he ran down hard, just needs to cut the crap after. Sweet Moves..
pickupballer - January 11, 2012
Cuz!!
AkaP - January 11, 2012
It was worth the T
bignerd - January 11, 2012
Impressive put back. Bad tech for hanging
Reke_Havoc13 - January 11, 2012
Unless we lose by one
I’m ok with it. These guys need some life breathed into them right now.
Olde Greg - January 11, 2012
It was for yelling and taunting
Widowwolf - January 11, 2012
DAAAAMMMMNNN!!!
mdotbrown - January 11, 2012
HOLY *******************
Scirocco - January 11, 2012
If were gonna lose, i want it to be a blowout, this team sucks
KINGKENJI - January 11, 2012
NOO NOT A T!!!!!!!
CousinsEvansDUO - January 11, 2012
IT is playing out of his mind
OMFG COUSINS!!!
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
Cousins with technical?
Slam_Dunk - January 11, 2012
tech?? this aint NCAAB !!
jadams12 - January 11, 2012
Taunting.
DiegoKing - January 11, 2012
Booooogie!
MitchRich2 - January 11, 2012
Oh Shit!
Cousins just shat on Johnson!!
UCIrvine kings fan - January 11, 2012
That badass scream was worth the tech
CoolFinity - January 11, 2012
That was his play of the year
SharkKings49 - January 11, 2012
HOLY SHITAKE MUSHROOMS
Most athletic play I have ever seen out of him. That was crazy. Can’t believe they called the T
LLcoolRay - January 11, 2012
That wasn't awful, you just can't stare at the guy.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
next game starters
IT, Reke, Salmons, JT, Cousins
jadams12 - January 11, 2012
respectfully disagree
pickupballer - January 11, 2012
You still want to start Salmons?
facepalmrainingbuckets - January 11, 2012
If your gonna get a technical
At least point at the guy like Shawn Kemp
mdotbrown - January 11, 2012
Lol
One of the funniest plays I have ever seen still to this day
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
Definitely worth the tech
omikron - January 11, 2012
The Canadian feed did not seem to be fans if Cousins dunk
SharkKings49 - January 11, 2012
Enforcers should now be fighting because of that dunk and yell
bignerd - January 11, 2012
What did they say?
UCIrvine kings fan - January 11, 2012
What the hell was that Tyreke?
adamsite - January 11, 2012
wow... damn man that was selfish
jadams12 - January 11, 2012
DeMarcus Got frustrated
with Tyreke on that last play because he wants the ball!
mdotbrown - January 11, 2012
Tyreke will loose playing time if he doesn't listen to our coach Cousins, look what happened to PW. The sad thing is Cuz, is 100% right, he should be first option all the time.
pickupballer - January 11, 2012
Dunno why that is sad.
He’s getting to the point where he does good things every time the ball is in his hands.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
COUSINS!!!!!!
adamsite - January 11, 2012
I´d pay that silly-bs-call-T if I could. Such nonsense
rubenho - January 11, 2012
Jason Jones
Gotta love Cisco
Reke_Havoc13 - January 11, 2012
awesome...
adamsite - January 11, 2012
Very nice!
Widowwolf - January 11, 2012
I watched the replay. What was the big deal?
Slam_Dunk - January 11, 2012
Cuz and-1!!
AkaP - January 11, 2012
COUSINS AGAIN
Scirocco - January 11, 2012
Cuz!
DiegoKing - January 11, 2012
Bargnani is playing crap. Same with derozan.
And we losing?… aayyyy ay ay…
Tyro18 - January 11, 2012
tied
DiegoKing - January 11, 2012
lol
I posted it when they were losing, are you going to come back 24 hours from now and correct me if we end up winning?
Tyro18 - January 11, 2012
no, I promise.
DiegoKing - January 11, 2012
They aren't playing like crap
We are just playing stellar defense…Small victories..don’t ruin my high
mdotbrown - January 11, 2012
Cousins is a monster.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
Cousins has gotten so cool!
Slam_Dunk - January 11, 2012
Seriously that whole controversy seems to have helped Cuz keep his cool more. I like the player I am seeing. Awesome.
pickupballer - January 11, 2012
Well, Smart told him he had no pressure.
Look at the results.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
Luther Head would own in this game.
MitchRich2 - January 11, 2012
Luther Head, Quincy Douby, John Salmons, Kenny Thomas, Mikki Moore
Would make a hell of a team
Reke_Havoc13 - January 11, 2012
Don't forget Jermaine Taylor and Pooh Jeter.
MitchRich2 - January 11, 2012
I actually like what JT2 and Pooh brought to the team
Reke_Havoc13 - January 11, 2012
Desmond Mason
Tracy McGrady, Sam Cassell, and Drew Gooden.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
Don’t forget Ike Diagou
Widowwolf - January 11, 2012
63-63 after 3? Ugh.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
Then end score will be like 87-82 Kings win..Book it..Unless JT plays then it will be 92-81 Kings win
Widowwolf - January 11, 2012
DMC is playing so well early in the season. Holy crap.
LLcoolRay - January 11, 2012
Cousins really likes Smart.
BurningFeathers - January 11, 2012
No...
He’s not playing well, Smart needs to bring him off the bench like Westphal did…
M_Shady - January 11, 2012
Chasm'd
At least I hope so
LLcoolRay - January 11, 2012
We need more of Cousins' passion out there
The team seems so dead otherwise. He’s the perfect counterweight to Evans’ cool, softspoken style
Scirocco - January 11, 2012
that was a really bad play by Evans when he went in got swatted
but then again, he shouldnt have been in for the whole goddamn 3rd quarter!
jadams12 - January 11, 2012
Wow stupid fkn refs. Cousins did not derseve a technical, it wasnt taunting, it was self inspiring motivation.
CousinsEvansDUO - January 11, 2012
Some of it is the reputation that Cousins has, not fair, but a reputation needs to be earned. If he keeps his cool more often his rep will change.
pickupballer - January 11, 2012
Favorite stat of the night
Outlaw’s minutes: 0:00
A Night At The Arco - January 11, 2012
Ok, not my favorite, but happy about this none the less
A Night At The Arco - January 11, 2012
Stat of the year would be
Salmons & Outlaw – DNP – CD
elfboy_ - January 11, 2012
That and only two personal fouls for Demarcus
jveezy - January 11, 2012
This
SO this
mdotbrown - January 11, 2012
This.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
We need to feed DMC.
He’s lost the weight, and he’s hungry!
elfboy_ - January 11, 2012
Man I love tyreke but some games he just misses way too many layups :( makes me facepalm
CousinsEvansDUO - January 11, 2012
cousins T seemed iffy to me
All he did was yell and look at the dude he dunked on, doesn’t that happen in every game?
Since'89 - January 11, 2012 via iPhone app
this.
rubenho - January 11, 2012
He hung a bit on the rim but basically this is what happens when you have a rep in the league.
Fair or not.
ResetSmith - January 11, 2012
It was for Taunting..yelling after the putback
Widowwolf - January 11, 2012
I think Demarcus got like 2 feet of air on that put back
Widowwolf - January 11, 2012
come on donte
AnkleMan - January 11, 2012
I wish Tyreke shot that
SharkKings49 - January 11, 2012
Donte should have made the extra pass to Cuz.
he had good position.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
No u dont
Since'89 - January 11, 2012 via iPhone app
Garbage call.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
I realy wish we picked up Anthony Carter. He's just the type of veteran PG we need
Scirocco - January 11, 2012
petrie needs to get some high iq basketball players
jadams12 - January 11, 2012
And a coach just for the 3rd quarter.
convoy - January 11, 2012 via mobile
Cousins will be in the rest of the game, this is where all that rest comes into place. We need to see how he does, if he can beast the final 12 minutes. I like the call, good offense all the time.
pickupballer - January 11, 2012
Cuz was looking a little out of shape there.
pickupballer - January 11, 2012
8 assists after 3 quarters
fantastic.
K1NGS - January 11, 2012
goddamnit
this is the quarter where we supposed to win
AnkleMan - January 11, 2012

IT-33333333333333333
Widowwolf - January 11, 2012
And that's not a foul? Come the fuck on, refs.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
IT is fearless.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
an assist sighting!!!!
jadams12 - January 11, 2012
Salmons is out. Rejoice!
BurningFeathers - January 11, 2012
So the world is really ending this year…
Widowwolf - January 11, 2012
lol
tyrekes best lebron impersonation
AnkleMan - January 11, 2012
Keith's tie looks exotic. Pause
MitchRich2 - January 11, 2012
kleiza better not koufus us
AnkleMan - January 11, 2012
TYR3K3
Widowwolf - January 11, 2012
I like IT's decision making
Reke_Havoc13 - January 11, 2012
Smart is coaching his ass off
He looks like he is holding tyreke accountable
mdotbrown - January 11, 2012
This.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
Good
SPTSJUNKIE - January 11, 2012
oh my
cousins is a foul receiving machine
AnkleMan - January 11, 2012
Good kickout, Tyreke needs to do that too, I like how IT is playing.
pickupballer - January 11, 2012
IT reminds us of how assists are supposed to look lke
K1NGS - January 11, 2012
I don't understand why we're shooting so badly.
Are the plays being drawn up making it hard to get clean looks, or is it just the players flat out being cold from the field?
elfboy_ - January 11, 2012
Your 2011-2012 Sacramento Kings
bignerd - January 11, 2012
z
Bargnani out for rest of game with strained calf…Good
Widowwolf - January 11, 2012
Bad, he was playing terrible. 2/13 shooting
BurningFeathers - January 11, 2012
not like their bench is lighting us up..Bargnani likes to come on string at the end of games
Widowwolf - January 11, 2012
Dammit best big man out
Here is where the Raptors go on there run!
bignerd - January 11, 2012
Seriously though.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
Linus Kleiza
with a 17 point 4th quarter
mdotbrown - January 11, 2012
THE WHOLE TEAM RAN OVER TO PICK HIM UP!!!
I haven’t seen that since Adelman left.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
Family!!!
SPTSJUNKIE - January 11, 2012
Looked like they were scared he was going to react.
15-15 now for him.
jveezy - January 11, 2012
No, it looked like they were supporting their teammate.
Don’t try to turn it into something it wasn’t.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
I'm not.
Can I not believe he wasn’t going to react but still think they might’ve thought he would?
jveezy - January 11, 2012
They ran over to help him up and give him support.
That’s it.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
Chuck looks like a boss
MitchRich2 - January 11, 2012
start IT
jadams12 - January 11, 2012
Still disagree, especially now, I like the tempo this game.
pickupballer - January 11, 2012
Hope everyone is voting for Cousins for the All-Star Game
Vote for Cousins for All Star Game
Slam_Dunk - January 11, 2012
I'm voting for Yao again
bignerd - January 11, 2012
lol
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
I never lose
bignerd - January 11, 2012
I did. And it's justified.
Not many centers in the West playing better. Not many centers in the West playing at all, actually.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
It would be awesome if he made it this year.
Slam_Dunk - January 11, 2012
He may not, if the teams record isn't at least middling.
But I can’t name a center playing better in the West. Give me Cuz over Bynum any day, every day.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
DONE DEAL
mdotbrown - January 11, 2012
Anyone else happy Salmons is NOT in the game right now
SPTSJUNKIE - January 11, 2012
You can get an AMEN!
Widowwolf - January 11, 2012
Yes!
zo0m - January 11, 2012
IT is the closest thing this team has to a point guard.
10 assists to 11 turnovers. 4 of those assists from IT, who has played 15 minutes.
sdfd - January 11, 2012
if only he were a few inches taller...
he’d get the nod over marcus thorton in the starting lineup.
K1NGS - January 11, 2012
I think Beno would start if he wasn't traded.
MT would be the perfect sixth man IMO
sdfd - January 11, 2012
WHY
are we not going to big cuz on O right now
K1NGS - January 11, 2012
This team is so much more fun to watch when Hickson and Salmons are on the bench
Scirocco - January 11, 2012
The Kings may pull this out the thing that worries is me is
The Kings against the NYK – no Amar’e = loss
Denver no Nene = loss
Milwaukee no Bogut -= win
Orlando with essentially no DHoward = loss
Philly with Hawes = loss
Now Raptors with non factor Bargnini = scary
betweentheeyes - January 11, 2012
Bargnani is not going to return
Scirocco - January 11, 2012
and non factor when in
betweentheeyes - January 11, 2012
Hawes left early from the game
Widowwolf - January 11, 2012
Well. I throw out everything under PW. That team quit.
If AB is bad, give the D some credit.
Also, how about Kings with no Thornton & Hayes – 2 starters.
Not making an excuse, but let’s not give other teams one either.
SPTSJUNKIE - January 11, 2012
it is almost eerie string of coincidences
betweentheeyes - January 11, 2012
You forgot.
The Kings against NYK – no effort = loss
against Denver – no effort = loss.
elfboy_ - January 11, 2012
Cousins is too physical
Only conclusion I can draw
bignerd - January 11, 2012
DMC
mdotbrown - January 11, 2012
whooooo
maybe isiah really is a point guard
AnkleMan - January 11, 2012
z
Now thats an assist isaiah..Beautiful!
Widowwolf - January 11, 2012
Cousins is BALLING
mdotbrown - January 11, 2012
Thomas playing like a champ.
ResetSmith - January 11, 2012
IT has SWAG
Scirocco - January 11, 2012
having a beast of a game
K1NGS - January 11, 2012
z
Cousins with a possible 20-20 game..Isaiah looking like he will get more assists then all the rest of the kings all year in this game
Widowwolf - January 11, 2012
Nice pass from Thomas, if IT keeps playing like this, they won't pull him.
pickupballer - January 11, 2012
maybe our PG of the future
Slam_Dunk - January 11, 2012
OMG - I cannot believe IT
Slam_Dunk - January 11, 2012
Hustlin' Huskie!
Reke_Havoc13 - January 11, 2012
IT is a beast. And he is showing he deserves minutes.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
IT playing his best game this year
SPTSJUNKIE - January 11, 2012
Hate to say it
But IT is going to take Jimmer’s minutes at this rate
mdotbrown - January 11, 2012
I think we could trade jimmer, not that we are going to or should, for a good veteran.
2001nbachampions - January 11, 2012 via iPhone app
I  IT now
2001nbachampions - January 11, 2012 via iPhone app
I might block him a few times too over the course of 100 games. He is kinda short.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
How tall is he?
Slam_Dunk - January 11, 2012

cousins 17 and 17
Widowwolf - January 11, 2012

Reke_Havoc13 - January 11, 2012

no outlaw tonight? nice move smart
jadams12 - January 11, 2012

bignerd - January 11, 2012
beat me to it.
Slam_Dunk - January 11, 2012
Evans still manages 20 points
bignerd - January 11, 2012
I think he's played okay all things considered.
At least his coach is actually teaching him now.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
good game by reke for sure
AnkleMan - January 11, 2012
It's IT running the Kings to a victory his "twin" Nate Robinson leads the Dubs past the Heat last night
betweentheeyes - January 11, 2012
Good call, they have at least been consistent with that
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012

Bargnani hung a 30 on the Kings last season didn't he? And Reggie Evans had 18-19 rebs

ahem, it's "King Killer"

Good thing it was a shot-clock violation
Reke_Havoc13 - January 11, 2012
The Kings playing D?
mdotbrown - January 11, 2012
Nice D!!!
SPTSJUNKIE - January 11, 2012
I am not watching other than ESPN game tracker
Is there a reason JT has only played seven minutes? Did PW slip back on the bench?
MichaelMack - January 11, 2012
Dunno, JJ has been playing good defense.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
Right…ridiculous..JT should be getting some more burn out there
Widowwolf - January 11, 2012
jj was rebounding like a beast for a while too
AnkleMan - January 11, 2012
JT sat on Smart's I pohone and broke it?
Beagle12 - January 11, 2012
I really don’t want to know what Smart’s ‘I pohone’ is.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
Its the new I phome 5..
Widowwolf - January 11, 2012
I know.
How ‘un-PC’ of me.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
Why do we give DMC the ball so far from teh hoop? Post him up! He's so good with his back to the basket
Scirocco - January 11, 2012
Regress to PW 'offense' for a minute. Smart will get that fixed in this timeout.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
Smart uses his timeouts really well
mdotbrown - January 11, 2012
Too much ISO & P&R with people standing around.
Garcia rolled around one screen. But pretty easy O to defend. Fortunatley Raps are pretty bad at D.
SPTSJUNKIE - January 11, 2012
Cousins is smiling. I love it!
Slam_Dunk - January 11, 2012
it was a Boogie pouty smile
betweentheeyes - January 11, 2012
split Isaiah and Jimmer minutes at the 1 for now
Widowwolf - January 11, 2012
we want jimmer!
K1NGS - January 11, 2012
wow. u know 0
2001nbachampions - January 11, 2012 via iPhone app
I love cousins smile, its fucking sweet :)
CousinsEvansDUO - January 11, 2012
Let's call it a grin
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
Reke can never be considered an elite player
As long as he wraps the ball around his back on FT’s… What is this the ABA?
Pdidd - January 11, 2012
He need to towel himself off like Ewing
bignerd - January 11, 2012
The hell does that have to do with anything?
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
atleast he doesn't salute the rim
Like Nate Robinson.
anthonysam - January 11, 2012
Smile cuz! you’ve had a great game buddy.
CousinsEvansDUO - January 11, 2012
Raptors do have cheerleaders
bignerd - January 11, 2012
yes but do you think they speak English?
or only Canadian and French? eh?
betweentheeyes - January 11, 2012
IT
Is a boss kid is putting in so serious work tonight love what I’m seeing
Howard Nevens IV - January 11, 2012 via mobile
Smart has some interesting rotations though not gonna lie.
i dont think Tyreke has come out the whole second half. and JT with only 7 minutes
jadams12 - January 11, 2012
Thinking that the match ups are dictating his substitutions
the Raptors don’t seem to have a true center so that takes minutes away from JT. Plus DeMarcus is playing grown man basketball
mdotbrown - January 11, 2012
Donte gettin some burn tonight
AnkleMan - January 11, 2012
Remember when Cousins was intimidated by the game at the beginning of last season?
Remember when Cousins was frustrated by the refs with all the the foul calls?
That is all history now. He comes out like he has that all behind him.
Slam_Dunk - January 11, 2012
Just give JF and IT a year.... Exciting
Pdidd - January 11, 2012
Is JT hurt or where the hell is he?
rubenho - January 11, 2012
Small ball
dampania - January 11, 2012
JJ played 24mins and I´m not impressed

2001nbachampions - January 11, 2012 via iPhone app
tyreke should have cut through there. when dmc is in the post, people need to cut.

That little DMC wink there after the foul off rebound was great
Widowwolf - January 11, 2012
Thank you, Raptors, for being just a little more sucky than us.

Wow cousins career high 18 rebounds! go for 20 !

mdotbrown - January 11, 2012
Dunno about that. It is the NBA
85 should do it.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
bignerd's rule?
ResetSmith - January 11, 2012
Kings vs Raptors Rule
bignerd - January 11, 2012
Actually, an Adjusted Lawler's Law
Might have some legs…center it at 100 for average offense/defense and adjust accordingly.
RJinFairOaks - January 11, 2012
You mean Jerry “The King” Lawler?
Widowwolf - January 11, 2012
Only one I know
bignerd - January 11, 2012
16 for IT. Man oh man.
Reke_Havoc13 - January 11, 2012
Would you say this is IT's breakout game?
Slam_Dunk - January 11, 2012
oh man
that would have been big to get that posession
AnkleMan - January 11, 2012
Thank u for an Outlaw free night
Pdidd - January 11, 2012
IT is like the last guy picked in a pickup game who schools everyone…Straight Baller with 16 pts..
Widowwolf - January 11, 2012
We all knew that was going to happen, though.
If you have seen the dude play in college, you knew he could play in the NBA and do well.
Granted, he’s been going at Jose Calderon most of the night, but he’s also an NBA player, sooo
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
Thats what i have been saying since draft
Widowwolf - January 11, 2012
IT is mighty mite out there
Scirocco - January 11, 2012
The no surprise guys from the kings- Salmons and Outlaw…They always suck this year
Widowwolf - January 11, 2012
I hope IT's play motivates Jimmer to be more aggressive
Reke_Havoc13 - January 11, 2012
I'm officially a membr of the Kings IT Department. GO IT!!!
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
Lol. I think I like that
SPTSJUNKIE - January 11, 2012
This is COUSINS TEAM! I love the sound of that.

anthonysam - January 11, 2012
They're winning but
the offense is still moribund.
Hire Sloan now.

mdotbrown - January 11, 2012
Dunno how Smart fixed our FT shooting
but he did.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
the FT shooting has improved the last 5-6 games
I think that just improved overtime..
anthonysam - January 11, 2012
My favorite IT number tonight
5 assists, even with all of his offensive takes.
RJinFairOaks - January 11, 2012
Tyreke just told Cousins to hurry up and get over the line
Reke_Havoc13 - January 11, 2012
goddamnit.....
…….ok DEFENSE TIME
AnkleMan - January 11, 2012
Should of called 1-4 Reke to the hoop

Scirocco - January 11, 2012
DC hustling
ResetSmith - January 11, 2012
Donte shoots it at every opportunity
Scirocco - January 11, 2012
Donte has been well tutored by Salmons Outlaw and Garcia
can’t hit an open 3 pointer
betweentheeyes - January 11, 2012
I'd rather him play than Salmons or Trout.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012

IT has played really well. Hopefully he's settled in and can duplicate this effort.

2001nbachampions - January 11, 2012 via iPhone app
We have two heros tonight - Cousins and IT
Interview them both JR.
Slam_Dunk - January 11, 2012
IT can sit on cuzs shoulders
Widowwolf - January 11, 2012
Okay - I'm good with that.
Slam_Dunk - January 11, 2012
A lot of people don't know this
but Shawn Bradley was actually three guys stacked on top of each other.
ResetSmith - January 11, 2012
oh please don't foul
move that clock
betweentheeyes - January 11, 2012
Isaiah for ROY!!!!
Jimmered. - January 11, 2012
Wow, that was quite the generous continuation there....
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
One thing Evans can learn from IT
Every time Evans goes to the hole, he looks to pass or shoot. Other PGs will dribble out or back up if no great option when they are moving forward.
Evans needs to learn this. Nice way to get extra assists when the D get out of position.
SPTSJUNKIE - January 11, 2012
reke to line
we got this!!
AnkleMan - January 11, 2012
Evans bailed out there
dampania - January 11, 2012
yes and no
he was fouled hard but he should have passed
betweentheeyes - January 11, 2012
that said - who is the open shooter who can make an open shot with MT not in?
maybe It’s IT
betweentheeyes - January 11, 2012

Great Game
IT stepped it up and played like a real pg. They need somebody to do that every night
sdfd - January 11, 2012
DMC a beast, It's IT the catalyst
betweentheeyes - January 11, 2012
Just 1 more rebound for Cuz.
Reke_Havoc13 - January 11, 2012
Cousins needs to get 20 boards to fulfill my OCD
Josh L - January 11, 2012

Kings Fan In AR - January 11, 2012
haha
this
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
Kings just got lucky coz Bargnani went out
but a win is a win i guess
KINGKENJI - January 11, 2012
He was 2-13 before then!
Josh L - January 11, 2012
Give credit where credit is due.
Slam_Dunk - January 11, 2012
He played like crap
did you watch the first half?
ResetSmith - January 11, 2012
LOLOLOLOL you mean the guy who did squat the whole game
Widowwolf - January 11, 2012
He was shooting like Outlaw
bignerd - January 11, 2012
And unlucky that Thornton and Hayes are out
SPTSJUNKIE - January 11, 2012
Bargnani played and was horrible before he left
mdotbrown - January 11, 2012
Raptors got lucky because Thornton is out.
sdfd - January 11, 2012
This year's Kings means
no bigs (see upper post re: Amare, Nene, Bogut, Howard, Hawes, etc)
betweentheeyes - January 11, 2012
The Raptors were better without him. They still weren’t very good.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
missed shot and Cousins rebound rite here 20/20 vision
jadams12 - January 11, 2012
Smart played a good closing roation tonight..
Putting Donte in at PF to space the floor more. Amir Johnson can’t guard anyone anyway.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
Are we a Family yet..Salmons and Outlaw can be our black sheep (No racism meant)
Widowwolf - January 11, 2012
one question:
Where will MT fit into all this!!
2001nbachampions - January 11, 2012 via iPhone app
At the 2
With IT at the point and Reke at the 3
RJinFairOaks - January 11, 2012
Start Thomas Evans Donte JT Cousins
Permanently
brobro - January 11, 2012
that SF position needs help.
2001nbachampions - January 11, 2012 via iPhone app
Not concerned about the SF
as much as I am with the PG.
brobro - January 11, 2012
This
Widowwolf - January 11, 2012
Amen!
Widowwolf - January 11, 2012
This.
rubenho - January 11, 2012

Congratulations!

aieeeeee!
AoxomoxoA - January 11, 2012
Tyreke got his FT's back 9 of 9
Slam_Dunk - January 11, 2012
Cuz out and all he needed was 1 of his own putback rebound for 20/20
Widowwolf - January 11, 2012
why is he out?
Slam_Dunk - January 11, 2012
Game is wrapped up.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
Here he comes back now
Widowwolf - January 11, 2012
LOL
CLopez63 - January 11, 2012
Kings are classier than to play for stats.
Always have been. New Orleans Saints, on the other hand…. and don’t get me started on the Lakers.
Although, we did focus on Reke and his 20-5-5 a bit much, but he got that within the flow of a normal game.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
derozan sucks
jadams12 - January 11, 2012
Holding to 80
on the road. That’s a hat hanger.
AoxomoxoA - January 11, 2012
Great game
i repeat Great Game
big game by cuz

very short stint of confidence by salmons

Widowwolf - January 11, 2012
Evans 9/9 fromt FT
So glad he got the stroke back at the line after listening to fans boo him in the CHI and NY game
dampania - January 11, 2012
Nice, a win.
A much needed road win.
DiegoKing - January 11, 2012
We're back to .500 with Smart
Nice recovery game. 76ers are great team. We just got beat, but these are the games that improving teams win.
SPTSJUNKIE - January 11, 2012
If Evans committed to be all league 1st team defensive player...
And average 15 pts… This team couldmake plyoffs…… And he could then make all star team….. Just don’t think he is smart enough to realize it
Pdidd - January 11, 2012
The Kings would score 65 points per game!
bignerd - January 11, 2012
What does he average now?
Pdidd - January 11, 2012
A win
24-25 points
bignerd - January 11, 2012
Overall big nerdy
Pdidd - January 11, 2012
They still no offense
Only reason they won tonight is cause the Raptors are starved worse for talent than the Kings.
The Kings are short on points now. No one can make up those 10 points.
bignerd - January 11, 2012
I don't think u understand how good u need to be to make 1st team all def team
he has more potential to do that than be an elite offensive player
Pdidd - January 11, 2012
I actually agree with you here. While Evans is a beast of a slasher, and has a semi-miraculous finishing talent, he’s not a shooter, and unless he somehow gains a consistent jumper, he’ll never be an elite offensive player.
On the other hand, literally every time he actually attempts to lock down his opponent, he does. Just think back, even in this young season, to the 4th quarters of winnable games, and the defensive impact Reke has had. He even locked down Rose to the point that the Bull’s star player couldn’t even touch the ball.
I seriously believe that Reke could be the Howard of the 1-2, but he would have to focus in order to do that. Of course, if he could focus that hard, he’d have a jumper, and know how to run a real play, and then I’d be saying something more along the lines of the Lebron of the 1-2.
Charles L. Pierro - January 11, 2012
You know, I agree with this.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
Cuz back in
Widowwolf - January 11, 2012
Maybe
Widowwolf - January 11, 2012
Cuz back in.
Reke_Havoc13 - January 11, 2012
Cousins back in. Good. Game is not over.
Slam_Dunk - January 11, 2012
Why is Jimmer playing so terribly?
I’ve watched him play for the last three years and never seen him miss so many shots. Most of them don’t even seem to be heavily contested. I don’t understand how he could make shots over triple teams in college, even against NBA-caliber players, and can’t make an open shot in the NBA.
Mr. Rockie - January 11, 2012
He's playing 5 nights a week
I’m sure it has a bit to do with leg shock.
bignerd - January 11, 2012
Evans recovered some efficiency...
Back in the “plus” in points:shots ratio. Still not great with 24 points to 22 shots.
nobodyinparticular - January 11, 2012
not his best night

Lol this is stupid.
But, this is why you foul.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
Bet the raptors with their offense was this good the rest of the game?
that is what 14 points in like 30 seconds?
Ultrakingsfan - January 11, 2012

nooo dont take away the dancing gifs!

DMC won't pass to Donte
he remembers
betweentheeyes - January 11, 2012
oh nm
betweentheeyes - January 11, 2012
Good job being patient with inbounds cuz
Widowwolf - January 11, 2012
We really don't deserve a dance thread for this game.
ResetSmith - January 11, 2012
Why not?
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
It's a win against the Raptors.
ResetSmith - January 11, 2012
Okay... we haven't won in Toronto since 2004.
So your point is?
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
Dance threads should be like rushing the court after a big college win
if you have them after games like this they lose their meaning.
ResetSmith - January 11, 2012
Not really.
Wins aren’t all that frequent, so dance threads are very appropriate.
The Crown Royal Gentleman - January 11, 2012
I've never seen you around STR before.
Don’t tell us what our dance threads should and shouldn’t be. We dance after every win. That’s it.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
Sorry for having an opinion
my bad.
ResetSmith - January 11, 2012
Wins don't come often.
Don’t blame us for savoring them.
Green threads are the equivalent of rushing the court here.
jveezy - January 11, 2012
lol
The Crown Royal Gentleman - January 11, 2012
This is one of those things where things are a certain way
and that’s the way they are. People don’t care about what you think they ‘should’ be. It’s already established.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
I get the same way when people who don't know shit tell me what I should and shouldn't do in a film that I made.
IE: “You should have made that explode.”
“It would have been cooler if there was more blood.”
“She should have had blonde hair.”
They just piss me off and aren’t worth my conversational energy.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
Sorry
I didn’t know my comment was so ground shaking that it could challenge the very foundation of STR. I just don’t think it’s cool to have a dance thread after every win, excuse the fuck outta me.
ResetSmith - January 11, 2012
No dance thread after a win seems a bit ground shaking to me.
We love our dance threads.
jveezy - January 11, 2012
lol. Fair enough.
ResetSmith - January 11, 2012
Now I will certainly agree that Van Damme dancing in every dance thread is too much.
We save him for the big wins.
jveezy - January 11, 2012
It's cool, ResetSmith
It’s just that there are quite a few ass shakers around here—that’s all.
The Crown Royal Gentleman - January 11, 2012
Huh?
Road win. .500 with Smart. Cousins big game. What are you saying?
SPTSJUNKIE - January 11, 2012
Sure we do.
Take what you can get.
The Crown Royal Gentleman - January 11, 2012
We'll take any win we can get, a dance thread is order for all them.
DiegoKing - January 11, 2012
Well designed inbounds there.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
Smart pull out by Evans
SPTSJUNKIE - January 11, 2012
I'm impressed as hell with Smart.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
This
mdotbrown - January 11, 2012
Decent game from the few minutes I was able to watch.
Venomy, I couldn’t respond earlier since I was helping a coworker, and I don’ t want to push the page back up, but I wasn’t trying to read anything into the team reacting to help Cousins up. I just thought the instant reaction from everyone looked funny (funny as in humorous, not suspicious). If anything I’ll be one of the first to say that Cousins has been exceptionally professional when faced with any remotely confrontational situation, so the last thing I wanted to do was to paint him in any negative light.
jveezy - January 11, 2012
For sure.
I just liked the sense of camaraderie they seemed to have there.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
z
Thomas gonna get his 20 it appears
Widowwolf - January 11, 2012
Why is it so hard for Cousins to get one rebound?!
Reke_Havoc13 - January 11, 2012
I'm pushing for 20/20 cause he's on my fantasy team.
Reke_Havoc13 - January 11, 2012
Raptors aren't missing.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
this is practically the longest
ive seen this foul game bullshit go on, longest minute ever
AnkleMan - January 11, 2012
I agree. Though the Lakers did this to us one time, and they ended up winning that game.
I was livid.
VenomySnicket - January 11, 2012
tyreke got like 10 points from that minute
AnkleMan - January 11, 2012
We are making free throws!
mdotbrown - January 11, 2012

20 pts IT
Widowwolf - January 11, 2012
Clutch free throw shooting from the Kings tonight...
Ultrakingsfan - January 11, 2012
What an ending this game has been.
IT clutch at FT line.
Slam_Dunk - January 11, 2012
This game is not ending
Scirocco - January 11, 2012
This certainly makes the Kings' offensive output look more reasonable.
RJinFairOaks - January 11, 2012
Isaiah with one hell of a game.
I like dat little guy.
DiegoKing - January 11, 2012
We are just lucky we arent shooting FTs like we were a few games ago
J.R 50 - January 11, 2012
last foul not even necessary
jadams12 - January 11, 2012
Kings Win!
A Night At The Arco - January 11, 2012
Almost got that 1 last rebound for Cuz..Kleiza why couldnt you shoot faster
Widowwolf - January 11, 2012
Fantastic win! Well earned.
Career highs for Cousins and IT.
Slam_Dunk - January 11, 2012
Late game fundamentals.
We’re seeing them, though not exactly in the context that may have complained about and envisioned before. But at least I get the impression that everyone at least knows what they should be doing.
jveezy - January 11, 2012
Good enough for Raptors. Which is a positive step. Doing this against a playoff team will be different.
SPTSJUNKIE - January 11, 2012
KINGS WIN BITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Widowwolf - January 11, 2012
NO OUTLAW = WIN
mdotbrown - January 11, 2012

Yup. Lots of good things all around.
Slam_Dunk - January 11, 2012
IT is well spoken..I could see him be a leader

Disappointed in a Kings win?

Why you mad bro..You a Derozan fan?.
Widowwolf - January 11, 2012
im a f*cking kings fan
and i am disappointed by the way they play
KINGKENJI - January 11, 2012
Tonight was a large improvement over last night.
At least there’s progress.
The Crown Royal Gentleman - January 11, 2012
Kenji I have it on good authority
that 91.4% of King’s fans fuck so that is not a distinguishing characteristic.
ElRonToro - January 11, 2012
The kid is a charmer isn't he?
Thomas
betweentheeyes - January 11, 2012
Who expects a team that shoots 37% for the game to win ?
no one. very nice gritty win
betweentheeyes - January 11, 2012
and still with that ugly A/T ratio
13 assists/16 TO
betweentheeyes - January 11, 2012
Yep, the Kings showed some character tonight.
The Crown Royal Gentleman - January 11, 2012
The two things that overcome those ugly stats
The rebounding (48-44) and of course the 91% at the charity stripe
betweentheeyes - January 11, 2012
Cousins is certainly in a nice stretch.
And, for once, it helped get a ‘W’.
The Crown Royal Gentleman - January 11, 2012
And I did not mean that as a slide on Cousins.
The Crown Royal Gentleman - January 11, 2012
Good win. IT had an amazing game and Tyreke/Cousins.
Despite the misses, I loved to see Jimmer shooting the hell out of it. It’s a way more comfortable feeling than seeing Salmon’s do the same. And Jimmer’s D was not as atrocious tonight.
Now, let’s beat a good team…
feelgood - January 11, 2012
I'm also okay with Jimmer taking a lot of shots.
His shot will come back and those will start going down. He only took 10 anyways. This isn’t 20+ Webber jumpshots from the top of the key.
jveezy - January 11, 2012
or Thornton's 20+ per game.
feelgood - January 11, 2012

Oh, Cousins got a technical for his scream? How lame.

Well,
they felt bad for Amir.
caseycheesecake - January 11, 2012
ughh i can't wait to see the highlights..
anthonysam - January 11, 2012
I know many want Isaiah Thomas to be the answer after this game
but you should probably take this game with a grain of salt. The teams probably have not game planned for him much yet or taken him into account as much with his low minutes going into the game. Also, I don’t know if his legs will stay as fresh and he will continue to play at this high of a level when given consistent minutes.
It would be a good story, but I’m not sure if it can go on like this forever.
Mr. Rockie - January 11, 2012
