that every time someone is isolated in the high post area, three other kings are are standing on the weak side within a foot of each other not doing anything
I've never hated a Kings player more than I hate John Salmons.
I’m seriously trying to rack my brain for someone but I can’t think of anyone. Maybe KT but at least he played a good stretch of ball when we first acquired him.
I agree that a pass first guard is needed. But I think he would need smart teammates around him that will know to be in the spot that they need to be in for that guard to find them. I just don’t see those players on this team.
They got on a run because our scrubs (relative) were all playing the 4th and he just left them all in there. It’s happened multiple times now where I’m wondering why our main guys are on the bench
He is rebounding, playing D, and not taking as many silly shots. At least he is 23 with a chance to still develop. I don’t buy that “he is what he is” already.
I think this is quite possibly the ugliest offense I have ever seen by a Kings team, and I have been a an since they moved here.
Time to blow this team up, and don’t do it all half ass like they always do.
Make some serious, major changes for once Petrie.
Its funny how everyone is down on Jimmer now. I saw this coming from Day one. That trade and drafting Jimmer was the dumbest move this organization has every made. They should of stayed put and drafted Brandon Knight.
not going after him. Just think he doesn’t fit with this team. That can be said about much of the whole team. They just don’t mesh. I think the entire organization needs to be blown up. But it won’t happen cause I don’t believe the Maloof want the kings in Sacramento.
I just think that the team as a whole doesn’t fit together. There is no chemistry, no teamwork. I think a change is needed. That can’t do it this season but they need to get serious about a winner or risk losing its entire fan base cause people are getting sick of being a laughing stock. I just can’t believe the players don’t seem sick of it. If they are sick of it. Then they need to do something about on the court.
how so many of you guys are blaming jimmer for the failure of the kings. He had the best +/- tonight with zero turnovers.Ya he’s horrendous. Stop making jimmer the scapegoat of this team
but just be reasonable. He wasn’t horrible tonight. And to be honest I didn’t care for all the jimmer mania because I already knew he could not live up to that. I knew he was the type of player that would take time to develop
and individuals comprise the team, so it all goes hand in hand.
Don’t sweat it too much, its always like this after a bad game. We all attack each other when really everyone is just pissed with the losing, the poor offense, the “appearance” of missing out on a good draft pick, and the overall attitude of the team. It’s nothing personal.
Its not really about Jimmer. Its more of a criticism of the entire organization. They shouldn’t have drafted the guy. They should have drafted a true point in Brandon Knight or Kemba Walker. A Team full of guys that can only create there own shot one on one is not working. They need a guy that can create for his teammates, a guy that makes his teammates better. They just don’t have that.
I realize Jimmer has played lousy but this team is totally dysfunctional and I’m sick he ended up with this sick group. Nobody makes anyone better, this is the worst passing team I’ve ever seen. This team has no leadership and needs to be blown up and start over. I pray they trtade Jimmer and get him out of this hell hole.
Its always the same excuses, game after game. I’m just getting so tired of nobody being honest and telling it like it is.
We have a terrible offense, and the players don’t compliment each other!
How many games has Keith Smart had? How many practices ect come u didn’t expect PW to be fired and there would be an instant change this is gonna take time and it will be painful at time and down right disgusting BUT we lovee this team and we hold out hope something will work because thats what we as fans have the right to do. Smart seems like he know what the problems are but is having a hard time figuring out how to ffix once again this takes time.
O yeah yeah yeah…I am at that point now. Because I can’t keep waiting for guys to play great and play good because the season is too short…Its a long flight back and I gotta lot of thinking to do. I gotta do something, right now this is not working for our basketball team
I didn't get that from Smart's post game interview tonight.
I didn’t write down his words, but he said something to the effect he was giving the guys directions for the simplest offensive executions and they still weren’t getting it. I think he sees there is a problem.
His energy is much appreciated. Its minutes that need to change. Sf needs to change. Donte can play D and is rebounding well as of late. I’d rather see that
Is willing to sit people down for dribbling out the shot clock and jacking up a stupid shot, or dribbling into three defenders and turning it over, or leaving their feet before passing, there will be no system. And until there is a system, we will have an ugly and unproductive offense.
The coach needs to play the players who will run the plays he calls (assuming he’s calling them, which I’m not sure of) and sit the ones who won’t or can’t.
And he needs to slap Donté every single time he jacks up a three.
Is willing to sit people down for dribbling out the shot clock and jacking up a stupid shot, or dribbling into three defenders and turning it over, or leaving their feet before passing, there will be no system. And until there is a system, we will have an ugly and unproductive offense.
That used to apply to 1 or 2 guys. Now its the entire stinking team!
I think everyone needs to be treated the same regardless of their status on the team.
Nobody stands out as the teams leader, and until that happens, its up to Smart to regulate the game. If we had true leader a lot of this frustration would not exist IMO.

rubenho - January 16, 2012
Yeah…Its pissing me off Love is manhandling everyone and is barely getting called on it.Reminds me of Shaq
Widowwolf - January 16, 2012
Gotta say.
I am NOT a Thornton fan. Ballhog…

Howard Nevens IV - January 16, 2012
Love is getting in deep post position. Gotta deny him the ball further out
Reke_Havoc13 - January 16, 2012

it’s kinda hard

Obama creates world peace!
Thornton still gives pouty face
prowseinthehouse - January 16, 2012
OUCH
Toby93 - January 16, 2012
Why does it look so hard for Jimmer to pass the ball on the perimeter?
Every time he passes it in a half court set, he is picking up his dribble, pivoting on one foot, and leaning to get the pass off.
brobro - January 16, 2012
Length
Pdidd - January 16, 2012
He has a really bad tendency to jump before he passes a lot too, which I haven’t been able to highlight tonight so that’s good.
Toby93 - January 16, 2012
At least he tries to pass it
ExPFCWintergreen - January 16, 2012 via iPhone app
Wow!!
Jimmer can pass the ball!!
Jimmered. - January 16, 2012
1 pass does not a PG make him
Widowwolf - January 16, 2012
He had a couple of nice passes earlier. JT got blocked on two shots down low.
SPTSJUNKIE - January 16, 2012
Yeah. He is a good passer.
Slam_Dunk - January 16, 2012
We needed that!
Slam_Dunk - January 16, 2012
JT should exercise his authorit-I like that
every time he thinks of shooting a 2 foot shot.
VirginiaBlue - January 16, 2012
Salmons
Only Starter in game FYI
Howard Nevens IV - January 16, 2012
Put IT in for Martin Lawrence lookin pouty face

Reke_Havoc13 - January 16, 2012
I dont understand the offensive philosophy
sacman - January 16, 2012
It's meant to be offensive to us fans,
which is improvement from PW’s time – where it was meant to be nauseating.

Wide open after the first missed wide open three and dribbles it out…
At least he made the fade
HeuristicLineup - January 16, 2012

J.R 50 - January 16, 2012

He silences them with a 2.

People shouting at Jimmer ‘SHOOT IT’
Toby93 - January 16, 2012
I was yelling for him to shoot it.
Slam_Dunk - January 16, 2012
At first I thought it was Francisco
that would have been funny
prowseinthehouse - January 16, 2012
Ive been to 2 games so far this year,
And no matter where Jimmer is people yell shoot it! No matter where on court haha
J.R 50 - January 16, 2012
Maybe we're all wrong.
Maybe jimmer needs to just shoot difficult 2s. He appears to do better with those.
Webber's Ankle - January 16, 2012
It's because you don't think as much with those shots
you just do it. With wide open threes I think he is thinking too much on them
prowseinthehouse - January 16, 2012
Kevin Martin move for Ricky Ricardo.

we are not a good team.
we dont have 5 intelligent players on the team
sacman - January 16, 2012
It's the time that you get your good players in right now
the game is slipping because only the bench is in. Jimmer and Salmons should not be in right now if we want to get back in it
prowseinthehouse - January 16, 2012
We’ll see how Evans contributes
ExPFCWintergreen - January 16, 2012 via iPhone app
On the bench?
prowseinthehouse - January 16, 2012
We got to get stops on D.
VirginiaBlue - January 16, 2012
Salmons WTF you under the basket..
Widowwolf - January 16, 2012
Rubio can get past jimmer whenever he wants
Webber's Ankle - January 16, 2012
Thats why IT needs to be in
Widowwolf - January 16, 2012
Oh, but I thought Jimmer's defense was "impressing" people
omikron - January 16, 2012
Jimmer has actually been doing good for most of the game.
DWeissbart - January 16, 2012
Rubio has had a pretty bad game though
CoffeeJanitor - January 16, 2012
What game r u watching?
Pdidd - January 16, 2012
Ellington with a dagger every time
Czar Nickoli - January 16, 2012
We need to play Smart.
Slam_Dunk - January 16, 2012
In place of Salmons..I am in
Widowwolf - January 16, 2012
oh man....
here comes the loss… they better pull it together
AnkleMan - January 16, 2012
Collapse time
omikron - January 16, 2012
Final 6 mins.
time for DMC & Reke please.
And maybe IT to torch some tired legs.
elfboy_ - January 16, 2012
DMC yes. Dunno about Evans
ExPFCWintergreen - January 16, 2012 via iPhone app
Yeah,
Why put in the guy that has 10 of the team’s 18 assists?
section214 - January 16, 2012
Donte playing with more spark than Ive seen in awhile.
VirginiaBlue - January 16, 2012
Groundhog Day...
Groundhog Day…
kromeace - January 16, 2012
Reke Thornton Cousins
at least one if not two of them should be on the floor at all times.
Kingstime - January 16, 2012
DOn't like the rotation
All of our ball dominant players as starters all of the roleplayers on the bench. Mix it up
Scirocco - January 16, 2012
Ellington is killin us
Killing.
Lotusprime - January 16, 2012 via mobile
Ellington for Salmons
Howard Nevens IV - January 16, 2012
a ham sanwhich for Salmons
southern oregon - January 16, 2012
Honestly
this is what u can hope on the road a little under 6 minutes left game is not out of reach and a chance to win on the road. But i really wanna dance
Howard Nevens IV - January 16, 2012
DEFENSE, coach. DEFENSE. Did I mention DEFENSE?
VirginiaBlue - January 16, 2012
I've never hated a Kings player more than I hate John Salmons.
I’m seriously trying to rack my brain for someone but I can’t think of anyone. Maybe KT but at least he played a good stretch of ball when we first acquired him.
brobro - January 16, 2012
Mikki Moore
Widowwolf - January 16, 2012
I agree
He makes me rage.
Mechanical Shift - January 16, 2012
Quincy Douby
Reke_Havoc13 - January 16, 2012
I blame PW
kman949 - January 16, 2012
where the hell is IT
kranthig - January 16, 2012
Needs to be answered
I hate Fredette as much as the next guy.
Toby93 - January 16, 2012
Wrong night to start missing freethrows
Reke_Havoc13 - January 16, 2012
reke is back in
game is officially over
sacman - January 16, 2012
?
Trollish. Evans has 10 of the 18 team assists, plus 7 boards. Not shooting well, but making up for it in other ways.
section214 - January 16, 2012
LOL
These game threads get comical
HeuristicLineup - January 16, 2012
Ya he has been actually doing a great job of running the offense today
it’s mind boggling that thornton is bringing it up right now. It explains why we are falling back
prowseinthehouse - January 16, 2012
Where the heck is the poise?
You could’ve had an open 3 in the corner instrad you dont hold on to the ball… smh
kingme18 - January 16, 2012 via mobile
Is it too late to throw IT into this now?
rubenho - January 16, 2012
Wolves pulling away with the 3
Reke_Havoc13 - January 16, 2012
Ugh.
VirginiaBlue - January 16, 2012
wow jimmer's +/- +9
cant believe it
Jimmered. - January 16, 2012
Thought Fredette was solid tonite
Pdidd - January 16, 2012
hickson from a half step inside the 3 point line...
vistroke - January 16, 2012
High percentage
Webber's Ankle - January 16, 2012
omfg
AnkleMan - January 16, 2012
Still single digits
Slam_Dunk - January 16, 2012
You blink and this team is down by 9
Reke_Havoc13 - January 16, 2012
getting away from the Kings here
the new Bradfather - January 16, 2012
Love gets away with a lot of fouls.
VenomySnicket - January 16, 2012
T_T
Webber's Ankle - January 16, 2012
3 ball killing us, defend it better, Kings.
DiegoKing - January 16, 2012
Rubio's shooting abillity better than Jimmer's
Jimmered. - January 16, 2012
yawn
DiegoKing - January 16, 2012
god wolves bigs fouling on every rebound.
Bambooozled - January 16, 2012 via mobile
Can't have that third quarter lapse.
Or the missed free throws.
VirginiaBlue - January 16, 2012
I'll live with that shot with Rubio.
kingme18 - January 16, 2012 via mobile
Love and Ridnour
both with double-doubles potentially?
the new Bradfather - January 16, 2012
Heres the collapse.
fuck me
Mechanical Shift - January 16, 2012
Crap, crap, crap
We need a run.
Slam_Dunk - January 16, 2012
we are being run out of the building now... that counts
Mechanical Shift - January 16, 2012
Wolves running away with it now
kingme18 - January 16, 2012 via mobile
God damnit Hickson. Can't hit midrange, can't catch a ball, useless
Scirocco - January 16, 2012
Rubio around Thorton @ will
Pdidd - January 16, 2012
Nice pass by Reke.
We needed the Defense to get us running. Can’t stop them.
VirginiaBlue - January 16, 2012
teammbasketball wins
sacman - January 16, 2012
Another great pass by Evans
Webber's Ankle - January 16, 2012
Nice dish from Tyreke
Toby93 - January 16, 2012
Terrible shot Reke
Even though it went in
brobro - January 16, 2012
LOL!
HeuristicLineup - January 16, 2012
It was a terrible shot
brobro - January 16, 2012
Need that basket from Reke.
Slam_Dunk - January 16, 2012
Need stops and tyreke to go on a tear
Widowwolf - January 16, 2012
those fouling motherfucks
AnkleMan - January 16, 2012
Cousins getting beat up out there
Widowwolf - January 16, 2012
Sick of all these low percentage shots we’re getting
monsterlxe - January 16, 2012
We've gotten plenty of high percentage shots, we've just hit a low percentage of them
SPTSJUNKIE - January 16, 2012
Their bigs have been clocking us all night.
Finally we get a call on a rebound.
VenomySnicket - January 16, 2012
Kings gotta bang back
kman949 - January 16, 2012
Have you seen the way they call fouls on Cousins?
Not really an option
prowseinthehouse - January 16, 2012
Why do you think we have so many fouls
Widowwolf - January 16, 2012
oh know! why do purple jerseys fly all over everytime the ball comes off the rim?
Bambooozled - January 16, 2012 via mobile
pekabitch doin that everytime...effin bs
Bambooozled - January 16, 2012 via mobile
Professor Youngman. HA!
Reke_Havoc13 - January 16, 2012
It takes an injury for them to finally call a foul
this is just irresponsible officiating
prowseinthehouse - January 16, 2012
Pek has hardly gotten any burn at all until this game
I do not doubt for a second he’s in there to rough everyone up
CoffeeJanitor - January 16, 2012
Just can't rely on our offense in close games.
It still looks like five severed chicken heads.
VirginiaBlue - January 16, 2012
Yep.
brobro - January 16, 2012
We need to play some defense and go on a lil run.
Go Kings!
DiegoKing - January 16, 2012
Funny how Minnesota plays off Love while Kings take one-on-one jumper. Minnesota plays like a team now on both ends while the Kings don’t
kingme18 - January 16, 2012 via mobile
Minny has an very good coach
southern oregon - January 16, 2012
This is probably the biggest change
Rambis is the worst coach I’ve seen in MN sports, ever
CoffeeJanitor - January 16, 2012
Damnit Pekovic
Reke_Havoc13 - January 16, 2012
Reke!!!
HeuristicLineup - January 16, 2012
D UP
VirginiaBlue - January 16, 2012
Reke!!!
Slam_Dunk - January 16, 2012
Tyreke Evans is pretty good.

Jimmer's 3PM-A
0-3
IT PLEASE…
Jimmered. - January 16, 2012
3-6 overall....get IT in for MT
Pdidd - January 16, 2012
Our perimeter defense is so bad
Reke_Havoc13 - January 16, 2012
That was not D Up.
VirginiaBlue - January 16, 2012
What happened to the Kings?
they were playing so well…
the new Bradfather - January 16, 2012
Don't worry about guarding Luke
he hasnt done shit tonight
Mechanical Shift - January 16, 2012
lol
He always kills us,
Sonics
2001nbachampions - January 16, 2012 via iPhone app
Few fast breaks
Half court offense inconsistent
kman949 - January 16, 2012
goddamn salmons
AnkleMan - January 16, 2012
Thorton who the fuck r u guarding?????
Pdidd - January 16, 2012
Give the ball to F'N reke
Scirocco - January 16, 2012
and there he goes
Scirocco - January 16, 2012
go to a zone and give up a three….
mjjr42002 - January 16, 2012
We will never win with Salmons in the game.
Bill2 - January 16, 2012
Defending the 3 ball is an issue obviously among many other things...
DiegoKing - January 16, 2012
LOL SALMONS
Toby93 - January 16, 2012
that might be the dagger
the new Bradfather - January 16, 2012
Game.
Slam_Dunk - January 16, 2012
Why are we leaving shooters by their lonesome?
Smart play by Luke.
VirginiaBlue - January 16, 2012
I hate that I can't even get excited about this fucking team anymore
Mechanical Shift - January 16, 2012
Oh calm down.
Sadly, the T-Wolves are better than us. Sadly.
VenomySnicket - January 16, 2012
Jack em if you got em.
VirginiaBlue - January 16, 2012

Only 4000 a ticket!
Widowwolf - January 16, 2012
There ya go Cisco
DiegoKing - January 16, 2012
Looks like I win the rotten fish tonight
Said they would lose by at least, but close to 10 points
prowseinthehouse - January 16, 2012
Ridnour does it again...
the new Bradfather - January 16, 2012
It's inteesti
Lotusprime - January 16, 2012 via mobile
Interesting that the flashes on the glossy floor only happen
When the kings have the ball.
Lotusprime - January 16, 2012 via mobile
are you kidding me right now
vistroke - January 16, 2012
Cisco!!
Jimmered. - January 16, 2012
Over
kman949 - January 16, 2012
I have a brilliant idea!!
Lets leave their best three point shoot, wide open!
HeuristicLineup - January 16, 2012
Leave luke again
complete idiots on this team. Blow them up start over. Trade the entire team.
Mechanical Shift - January 16, 2012
We're making Ridinour look like Steve Nash
Reke_Havoc13 - January 16, 2012
GAME OVER
Howard Nevens IV - January 16, 2012
jimmer
+9 today.
sacman - January 16, 2012
Luke looks like a superstar tonight
Slam_Dunk - January 16, 2012
We need Jimmer to play like Ridenour.
VirginiaBlue - January 16, 2012
We need Jimmer to play
Toby93 - January 16, 2012
Wow that was embarassing
Scirocco - January 16, 2012
ridnour - n = rid our
Hopes
2001nbachampions - January 16, 2012 via iPhone app
Nice try, I guess.
VenomySnicket - January 16, 2012
What a rip off.
Never should’ve bought season tickets this year. Won’t do it again without major changes, that’s for sure.
M_Shady - January 16, 2012
Trade Jimmer for Ridnour
Jimmered. - January 16, 2012
Lol.
Watch Adelman and the passing skills of Ricky turn him into an all-star
DWeissbart - January 16, 2012
Thornton tries to pass and..
Toby93 - January 16, 2012
Well. Thats it.
Czar Nickoli - January 16, 2012
this is stupid
mjjr42002 - January 16, 2012
Welp, at least they kept it competitive.
we scored over 60 too, yay!!
DiegoKing - January 16, 2012
were down 17
sacman - January 16, 2012
rubio
is shooting 55% from 3 this year
sacman - January 16, 2012
SUSTAINABLE
Josh L - January 16, 2012
Actually 45.5% coming into tonight
Still pretty good.
section214 - January 16, 2012
true my bad i did mean 45
sacman - January 16, 2012
Play time in Europe
seems to have made a big difference
kman949 - January 16, 2012
at least reke is trying to be a facilitator
2001nbachampions - January 16, 2012 via iPhone app
Minnesota too lucky to handle..
But that was a competitive game before they became lucky..
mjalmighty - January 16, 2012
lucky or shitty on the part of the kings?
Bambooozled - January 16, 2012 via mobile
Did the refs play a big part in this second half or did it just look that way on the boxscore?
DiegoKing - January 16, 2012
It's been pretty lopsided
prowseinthehouse - January 16, 2012
Well yeah Love is on the floor
Widowwolf - January 16, 2012
kings got 1st half wolves got calls or lack thereof in2nd half
Bambooozled - January 16, 2012 via mobile
Now watch Petrie
trade for Luke Ridnour…
Ramonpfx - January 16, 2012
Just leave the floor kings…Dont come back..You arent playing offense or defense anyways
Widowwolf - January 16, 2012
suddenly we are going to lose by 20.
39 and now 20. sick.
Mechanical Shift - January 16, 2012
No dancing gifs tonight
Slam_Dunk - January 16, 2012
:(
BOOOOOOOOOOO
Howard Nevens IV - January 16, 2012
lol, now it looks even worse than it basically was
….although it was pretty bad honestly
AnkleMan - January 16, 2012
Tyreke
Need 1 pt 2 Rebs for the triple double positive
Howard Nevens IV - January 16, 2012
This is very important
ExPFCWintergreen - January 16, 2012 via iPhone app
Anthony Tolliver.. Wayne Ellington.. These are the names that are beating us?! only our Kings...
J.R 50 - January 16, 2012
Don't forget Luke Ridnour
Josh L - January 16, 2012
Sign Smart to an extension right now!!!
kromeace - January 16, 2012
at least Love didn't get 30 and 20.
31 and 11.
VirginiaBlue - January 16, 2012
Good play finding Cisco for 3
But Ridnour responds with a 3… Game looks over as team play trumps one-on-one.
Watching Ridnour play… he’s just solid. Making Beno Udrih look incredibly underrated right now.
kingme18 - January 16, 2012 via mobile
This team needs to be blown up from top to bottom. No one on this team should be safe.
mjjr42002 - January 16, 2012
JT
Widowwolf - January 16, 2012
no one is safe.
mjjr42002 - January 16, 2012
nah we just need a passing guard.
Bambooozled - January 16, 2012 via mobile
no one should be safe. A passing guard wouldn’t save this team if his teammates don’t even know where to be or how to move with out the ball.
mjjr42002 - January 16, 2012
well it would freakin help if we had someone who knew how to and wanted to pass youd have to be a moron to disagree with that.
Bambooozled - January 16, 2012 via mobile
I agree that a pass first guard is needed. But I think he would need smart teammates around him that will know to be in the spot that they need to be in for that guard to find them. I just don’t see those players on this team.
mjjr42002 - January 16, 2012
agreed
we absolutely cannot be any worse then this team is now.
Mechanical Shift - January 16, 2012
fuck
Jimmered. - January 16, 2012
Our one pass offense just doesnt cut it.
ive seen better basketball on the and 1 mixtapes
vistroke - January 16, 2012
thats because they pass.
Mechanical Shift - January 16, 2012
lol @ this offense
lol @ taking on more money for a terrible player while getting rid of the only true point guard on the team.
Ricardo Audain - January 16, 2012
Tyreke had a good game (screw his FG%), IT should play more than Jimmer, not 0 minutes...
Toby93 - January 16, 2012
Don’t see why IT and fredette can’t come off bemch and play at the same time.
ExPFCWintergreen - January 16, 2012 via iPhone app
Fun fact
Salmons is now under 20% from 3 (starting SF)
rubenho - January 16, 2012
Shooting more than 3 a game btw
rubenho - January 16, 2012
18.6% after tonight
kromeace - January 16, 2012
Somewhere Paul Westphal is having a good laugh
Reke_Havoc13 - January 16, 2012
LOL
kman949 - January 16, 2012
He's still collecting a paycheck from the Kings organization but doesn't have to deal with this mess
Reke_Havoc13 - January 16, 2012
glad hes out of here that douche
Bambooozled - January 16, 2012 via mobile
No beasley or JJ tonight and we gotta smoked like a horrible joint
Widowwolf - January 16, 2012
When do we get the Wizards?
VirginiaBlue - January 16, 2012
idk about that game...
2001nbachampions - January 16, 2012 via iPhone app
wizards get first pick in draft
Kings will be second.
cowboyron96@yahoo.com - January 16, 2012 via mobile
Sweet, a second overall pick for once!
swoosh91 - January 16, 2012
Only if the draft was run like the NFL
Of course then it might be the other way around
prowseinthehouse - January 16, 2012
This is why I complained about the rotation
They got on a run because our scrubs (relative) were all playing the 4th and he just left them all in there. It’s happened multiple times now where I’m wondering why our main guys are on the bench
prowseinthehouse - January 16, 2012
we get beat by other Team's scrubs anyways
J.R 50 - January 16, 2012
If Reke and DMC and JT were back in at the beginning of that last run instead of the end of it
We have a chance to win. Leaving Jimmer Salmons and Cisco out there at the 5 minute mark is just terrible
prowseinthehouse - January 16, 2012
Petrie should be fired
solely based on the jimmer/salmons fiasco
Mechanical Shift - January 16, 2012
Yup. Judge a rookie 15 games into the season.
I bet Jazz fans are glad you weren’t GM so you could trade away John Stockton. And Mavs fans glad you weren’t GM so you could give up on Nash.
DWeissbart - January 16, 2012
IT and Garcia should get more playing time
kranthig - January 16, 2012
Less Jimmer/Salmons more IT/Garcia
Scirocco - January 16, 2012
lol salmons
Scirocco - January 16, 2012
not over 100
at least there is that
Widowwolf - January 16, 2012
NO Tacos
Howard Nevens IV - January 16, 2012
that's it, sorry guys
the new Bradfather - January 16, 2012
What's wrong with DMC??
Jimmered. - January 16, 2012
sand in the vagina
Mechanical Shift - January 16, 2012
Lol
Pdidd - January 16, 2012
He sprained his ankle I think
kingme18 - January 16, 2012 via mobile
He got murdered by Love all night long…Reminds me of a nerdy white guy walking down the wrong alley
Widowwolf - January 16, 2012
They were letting Love bang him around, and he couldn'
VenomySnicket - January 16, 2012
t hit back.
That’s what you get when Refs make calls based on reputation, something I think needs to be examined. Refs should get fined for bad calls.
VenomySnicket - January 16, 2012
1 and 4 roadtrip.
VirginiaBlue - January 16, 2012
Of course Fish
was going to shoot it
Ramonpfx - January 16, 2012
Time to play SC3 ..At least there i know there’s a win
Widowwolf - January 16, 2012
This thread got ugly fast. lol
DiegoKing - January 16, 2012
not as ugly as that game
Mechanical Shift - January 16, 2012
Not as fast as the Kings folded...
DiegoKing - January 16, 2012
lol
Slam_Dunk - January 16, 2012
Petrie should be fired, this season is a disaster.
I am not going to pay one dime to go to any of the home games this season.
Slam_Dunk - January 16, 2012
agreed.
entire team shouldn’t be safe. The whole organization needs a change.
mjjr42002 - January 16, 2012
It starts from the owners!
LagunaKing - January 16, 2012
Yup. How to get rid of them?
Slam_Dunk - January 16, 2012
thats going to be hard unless someone gives them an offer they can’t refuse.
mjjr42002 - January 16, 2012
leave a horse's head in their bed?
Slam_Dunk - January 16, 2012
Salmons has missed 27 3's in a row
think about that, how is that even possible??
OKO - January 16, 2012
He'c consistant at least
SharkKings49 - January 16, 2012
lol
I dont even want him to make one anymore… I want to see records broken
Mechanical Shift - January 16, 2012
Just for shits, I went out this morning and shot 30 NBA 3 pointers and I made 12.
Sign me.
VenomySnicket - January 17, 2012
Feel so bad.. see ya on the 2012 Rookie Draft
mjalmighty - January 16, 2012
We as kings fans have been following the draft for how many years now? haha
J.R 50 - January 16, 2012
IT in Smart's doghouse or what?
DiegoKing - January 16, 2012
Didn't get to watch the game myself, but wondered the same when I checked the box score
otis29 - January 16, 2012
I think Smart’s philosophy is to play only 8 players in any given game. Regardless of how they do
ExPFCWintergreen - January 16, 2012 via iPhone app
JUMBACO!!!
kromeace - January 16, 2012
That pretty much sums up the way I feel.
DiegoKing - January 16, 2012
Bazinga
rubenho - January 16, 2012
this is really, really sad
Changes need to be made soon
tidge18 - January 16, 2012
fire westphal??
Mechanical Shift - January 16, 2012
Right!
Oh we already did that… Fire Petrie?
tidge18 - January 16, 2012
Rubio and Reke had identical stat lines. Wasn't expecting that.
VenomySnicket - January 16, 2012
WTF hard about staying with the 3 point shooters?
caseycheesecake - January 16, 2012
This team feels the need to double team and that leaves someone open
Reke_Havoc13 - January 16, 2012
Jimmer needs to go D-League
Jimmered. - January 16, 2012
Kings need to go to D League

Sacramento BigHorns?
J.R 50 - January 16, 2012

kman949 - January 16, 2012
As in, Kings would go to D league and become Reno Kings and V-Versa
J.R 50 - January 16, 2012
Softhorns
rubenho - January 16, 2012
I posted that a few games ago and still agree
kman949 - January 16, 2012
He was fine tonite....send Thorton
Pdidd - January 16, 2012
wow, u know nothing.
2001nbachampions - January 16, 2012 via iPhone app
Jimmer was +8 tonight with 0 turnovers
what were you hoping for?
OKO - January 16, 2012
Every comment of mine is about Jimmer because I'm obsessed.
DiegoKing - January 16, 2012
I love the Jimmer bashing.
He actually played well.
DWeissbart - January 16, 2012
By whose standards?
3-7 field, 0-3 from 3. He played better, but not quite well.
section214 - January 16, 2012
he's a shotclock eater
Jimmered. - January 16, 2012
Moral vicotry: Better quality basketball for 2 quarters.
But not enough to avoid being spanked by one of the league’s lower ranked teams.
VirginiaBlue - January 16, 2012
Boy our bar is low...
rubenho - January 16, 2012
I bet Smarts going to blame the game on missing open shots again
seems to be the go to move so far
prowseinthehouse - January 16, 2012
It is a big part of the funk. So many missed shots.
ExPFCWintergreen - January 16, 2012 via iPhone app
It's a part
but definitely not the biggest. If that was the problem the threads wouldn’t be so dire
prowseinthehouse - January 16, 2012
Donte is the new "best SF" without question.
caseycheesecake - January 16, 2012
This
He is rebounding, playing D, and not taking as many silly shots. At least he is 23 with a chance to still develop. I don’t buy that “he is what he is” already.
Tark Le Shark - January 16, 2012
We'll see how you feel three or four games from now
otis29 - January 16, 2012
Funny fact:
On NBA.com’s power rankings today, it shows that John Salmons had the worst +/- of anybody in the league last week.
caseycheesecake - January 16, 2012
I'll probably feel the same
Because he can’t possible be more ineffective within only 3 or 4 games than all of our other SF options have been for the last 13.
Tark Le Shark - January 16, 2012
Oh, it's possible
Have you watched Donte’s career?
otis29 - January 16, 2012
And, no, Reke is not a SF
Tark Le Shark - January 16, 2012
when does Hayes come back?
I need something to look forward to.
JT should be starting right now until then.
VirginiaBlue - January 16, 2012
There should be a gif thread for losses.
A place for unity where we can share our mutual frustration.
Slam_Dunk - January 16, 2012
A funeral?
rubenho - January 16, 2012
Something kind of upbeat and angry.
Slam_Dunk - January 16, 2012
I usually need a few hour break from Basketball after these games lately
rubenho - January 16, 2012
and Salmons should def. be coming off bench.
VirginiaBlue - January 16, 2012
Jimmer needs to go Chiness Basketball League
Don’t come back
Jimmered. - January 16, 2012
lol
from all your comments you hate much?
mmarcum - January 16, 2012
Salmons or Outlaw?
I wonder who can miss more 3s in a row? Salmons or Outlaw? lol
LagunaKing - January 16, 2012
Salmons and all the other misfirings...
GP’s days in the sun have turned into a total eclipse!
kromeace - January 16, 2012
The worst thing is
they are all from the corner, which is the easiest shot to hit
prowseinthehouse - January 16, 2012
Who had 25-4-9 tonight?
Tyreke???
Nope. Luke effing Ridnour.
caseycheesecake - January 16, 2012
I said it this summer on STR, got flamed, and I'll say it again now...
Minnesota has more talent and is much closer to being a 500 team than we are. So sad.
brobro - January 16, 2012
Although they basically played 4 on 5 most of the time, even worse
rubenho - January 16, 2012
Top to bottom
Their roster is better than ours. And it’s not close.
brobro - January 16, 2012
Most definitely agree. They have a couple of franchise players. They have team mentality
ExPFCWintergreen - January 16, 2012 via iPhone app
The thing that bothers me is that Smart said he doesn't want to change the starting lineup
because he wants the players to trust him and no what their roles are. This starting lineup does NOT work.
Start IT one game with MT coming off bench.. shit it CANNOT BE ANY WORSE then this bullshit.
Mechanical Shift - January 16, 2012
He might be afraid to go the route that PW did
and is winding up going to the other extreme
prowseinthehouse - January 16, 2012
Sure looks that way
kman949 - January 16, 2012
we suck!!!!
Not much else to add kings fans.
cowboyron96@yahoo.com - January 16, 2012 via mobile
The Kings suck. We are awesome fans
DiegoKing - January 16, 2012
oxymoron?
DiegoKing - January 16, 2012
The Kings haven't been good for many years
But they were still fun to watch.
This team is not.
I think this is quite possibly the ugliest offense I have ever seen by a Kings team, and I have been a an since they moved here.
Time to blow this team up, and don’t do it all half ass like they always do.
Make some serious, major changes for once Petrie.
Dirkula - January 16, 2012
Yeah like Petrie quitting his job, that would be a great start.
DiegoKing - January 16, 2012
or being fired.
mjjr42002 - January 16, 2012
that works also
DiegoKing - January 16, 2012
Who should replace Petrie?
That would be a good place to start.
Slam_Dunk - January 16, 2012
You could do a better job, Slam_Dunk.
DiegoKing - January 16, 2012
Maloofs aren't going to know who to hire. They are idiots.
Some names should be floated around.
Slam_Dunk - January 16, 2012
Damn Maloofs.
DiegoKing - January 16, 2012
Its funny how everyone is down on Jimmer now. I saw this coming from Day one. That trade and drafting Jimmer was the dumbest move this organization has every made. They should of stayed put and drafted Brandon Knight.
mjjr42002 - January 16, 2012
Starting to think so, i dont think we had the luxury to draft a Jimmer
J.R 50 - January 16, 2012
I thought we should have taking Kemba Walker. But when on draft night Brandon Knight fell to that spot I was happy until I heard the trade.
mjjr42002 - January 16, 2012
definitely.. I was a proponent of Knight/Walker up to the draft and seems like we coulda used em
But now forced to root for Jimmer
J.R 50 - January 16, 2012
knight is ballin
Bambooozled - January 16, 2012 via mobile
but they are selling jerseys!
that’s all that matters right?
prowseinthehouse - January 16, 2012
they won’t be selling for long if this keeps up.
mjjr42002 - January 16, 2012
The die hard Jimmer fans though
just blame the Kings. They can’t believe that Jimmer could just not be that good
prowseinthehouse - January 16, 2012
hes is a shooting slump, and adjusting to not getting alot of shots
but on a night where hes our best +/- and no turnovers and our starting guards go 7-23 with 8 turnovers, strange to go after the Jimmer
OKO - January 16, 2012
Sorry I don't believe in +/- at all
prowseinthehouse - January 16, 2012
Especially in a one game sample
Jason Thompson was a -9 tonight and Hickson was a +2 – who played better?
Ricky Rubio was a -3 tonight while Anthony Tolliver was a +5 – who played the better game?
section214 - January 16, 2012
not going after him. Just think he doesn’t fit with this team. That can be said about much of the whole team. They just don’t mesh. I think the entire organization needs to be blown up. But it won’t happen cause I don’t believe the Maloof want the kings in Sacramento.
mjjr42002 - January 16, 2012
So jimmers the reason this team is a failure? Wow!
mmarcum - January 16, 2012
Who said that?
you guys are just putting words in our mouths. He deserves criticism, that’s not unfair. Why is that so hard to believe
prowseinthehouse - January 16, 2012
No
But he is also not worthy of all the Jimmer jock riding that has taken place around here early in the season.
section214 - January 16, 2012
hes our Tebow
OKO - January 16, 2012
Tebow does it to himself
Jimmers fans do it for him
prowseinthehouse - January 16, 2012
Fair enough
But don’t put him on the pedestal if you’re not willing to take the hits.
section214 - January 16, 2012
I was the one that never put him on a pdestal
mmarcum - January 16, 2012
I just think that the team as a whole doesn’t fit together. There is no chemistry, no teamwork. I think a change is needed. That can’t do it this season but they need to get serious about a winner or risk losing its entire fan base cause people are getting sick of being a laughing stock. I just can’t believe the players don’t seem sick of it. If they are sick of it. Then they need to do something about on the court.
mjjr42002 - January 16, 2012
Agree with that
prowseinthehouse - January 16, 2012
I love
how so many of you guys are blaming jimmer for the failure of the kings. He had the best +/- tonight with zero turnovers.Ya he’s horrendous. Stop making jimmer the scapegoat of this team
mmarcum - January 16, 2012
Salmons is the scapegoat
The citicisms of Jimmer have been fair to all but the ones who refuse to believe them
prowseinthehouse - January 16, 2012
I don't mind the criticisms
but just be reasonable. He wasn’t horrible tonight. And to be honest I didn’t care for all the jimmer mania because I already knew he could not live up to that. I knew he was the type of player that would take time to develop
mmarcum - January 16, 2012
Leave Jimmer alone!!
Dirkula - January 16, 2012
cute. You guys can hate
but this team as a whole has got issues
mmarcum - January 16, 2012
Not hatin on you dude
Just can’t believe anyone is exempt from criticism. Especially a guy known for his shooting who can’t hit a few wide open shots.
Dirkula - January 16, 2012
Like I said I don't mind criticisms
I’m just disagreeing with some by saying this is a team issue
mmarcum - January 16, 2012
It's definitlely a team issue
and individuals comprise the team, so it all goes hand in hand.
Don’t sweat it too much, its always like this after a bad game. We all attack each other when really everyone is just pissed with the losing, the poor offense, the “appearance” of missing out on a good draft pick, and the overall attitude of the team. It’s nothing personal.
Dirkula - January 16, 2012
Its not really about Jimmer. Its more of a criticism of the entire organization. They shouldn’t have drafted the guy. They should have drafted a true point in Brandon Knight or Kemba Walker. A Team full of guys that can only create there own shot one on one is not working. They need a guy that can create for his teammates, a guy that makes his teammates better. They just don’t have that.
mjjr42002 - January 16, 2012
I agree for the most part.
mmarcum - January 16, 2012
have a good night guys
I hope it turns around
the new Bradfather - January 16, 2012
It won't any time soon
DiegoKing - January 16, 2012
Thats the spirit <<< Sarcasm
Howard Nevens IV - January 16, 2012
It won't!
Dirkula - January 16, 2012
Sadly it wasn't, at least regarding our team's future.
DiegoKing - January 16, 2012
Ya im really starting to think we are fucked.
brobro - January 16, 2012
You just started to think that?
You held out hope longer than me then, more fortitude.
DiegoKing - January 16, 2012
JJ Hickson is shooting 37 percent
how is that possible for a post player with the layups and dunks he gets? He has got to be about 20 percent on jump shots
OKO - January 16, 2012
He's not living up to expectations
kman949 - January 16, 2012
Jimmer
I realize Jimmer has played lousy but this team is totally dysfunctional and I’m sick he ended up with this sick group. Nobody makes anyone better, this is the worst passing team I’ve ever seen. This team has no leadership and needs to be blown up and start over. I pray they trtade Jimmer and get him out of this hell hole.
bankers hours - January 16, 2012
Aw, poor Jimmer!
otis29 - January 16, 2012
lol
DiegoKing - January 16, 2012
Hi Jimmer, how'd you get on here so fast after the game??
Mechanical Shift - January 16, 2012
Forget it, we´re taking him down with us, meheheh.
rubenho - January 16, 2012
Team needs a jolt in the arm... therefore no Isaiah?
Scirocco - January 16, 2012
like utah?
Beer_man - January 16, 2012
We can't shoot and we can't defend. Where does the F.O. start at?
Reke_Havoc13 - January 16, 2012
You start by realizing there are too many gunners on this team.
Trade Jimmer/Hickson/Salmons for KG. Celtics want to get younger, Kings need leadership and roleplayers.
And then you move Isaiah Thomas, Donte and Thompson to the starting lineup and bring Thornton off the bench for some heat as a sixth man
IT/Thornton
Reke/Thornton
Greene/Garcia
Thompson/Hickson
Cousins/Hickson
8 man rotation. Thats all you need.
Scirocco - January 16, 2012
KG will rather gnaw his foot off than come into this mess.
rubenho - January 16, 2012
I would LOVE to see that.
swoosh91 - January 16, 2012
Whoops I forgot KG in the rotation
IT/Thornton
Reke/Thornton
Greene/Garcia
KG/Hickson
Cousins/JT
Scirocco - January 16, 2012
Maybe a trade somewhere along the season?
J.R 50 - January 16, 2012
Only if it means getting rid of those pesky few million keeping us above the league minimum
prowseinthehouse - January 16, 2012
and itll be for a journeyman player that does only one thing good :(
J.R 50 - January 16, 2012
And then they will suck at that too when they get here
prowseinthehouse - January 16, 2012
Sounds like every FA or player thats been traded for/signed over the past couple years
J.R 50 - January 16, 2012
What is up with no post game comments anymore?
It pisses me off they don’t even acknowledge it either
prowseinthehouse - January 16, 2012
Aren't they going to have them?
Slam_Dunk - January 16, 2012
What's the point?
Its always the same excuses, game after game. I’m just getting so tired of nobody being honest and telling it like it is.
We have a terrible offense, and the players don’t compliment each other!
Dirkula - January 16, 2012
Nevermind, I thought they already signed off
prowseinthehouse - January 16, 2012
Post game comments beginning
Reke_Havoc13 - January 16, 2012
"We forgot how to play how weve been playing"
and how is that exactly
vistroke - January 16, 2012
"We got stagnent with the basketball"
Really? No shit!?
Dirkula - January 16, 2012
Changing lineup
Thank Christ
Mechanical Shift - January 16, 2012
Keith Smart
Says that he is considering line-up changes. Let’s see what they are
Reke_Havoc13 - January 16, 2012
Keith Smart
I am considering a line-up change
Howard Nevens IV - January 16, 2012
HOPE SPRING ETERNAL
New starting SF- Travis Outlaw
Howard Nevens IV - January 16, 2012
Anyone mind relaying what's being said?
J.R 50 - January 16, 2012
I don't think a line-up change will do anything if we have the same players that can't shoot or defend
Reke_Havoc13 - January 16, 2012
IT
Starting at PG could help a lot
Howard Nevens IV - January 16, 2012
Worth a try.
Slam_Dunk - January 16, 2012
What is the solution to our horrible perimeter D?
Reke_Havoc13 - January 16, 2012
IT plays pretty damn good D IMO
Dirkula - January 16, 2012
Takes Time
How many games has Keith Smart had? How many practices ect come u didn’t expect PW to be fired and there would be an instant change this is gonna take time and it will be painful at time and down right disgusting BUT we lovee this team and we hold out hope something will work because thats what we as fans have the right to do. Smart seems like he know what the problems are but is having a hard time figuring out how to ffix once again this takes time.
Howard Nevens IV - January 16, 2012
4-9 doesn't tell our story
We r much worse.
2001nbachampions - January 16, 2012 via iPhone app
Is DMC still having a cold??
he looks like still sick
Jimmered. - January 16, 2012
1-4 on this road trip :(
Reke_Havoc13 - January 16, 2012
No lineup change will help.
Kingstime - January 16, 2012
somehow I don't think a "line up change" means going from dnp-cd to starter
Fireplug - January 16, 2012 via Android app
Interesting. I wonder who he may have been referring to?
Slam_Dunk - January 16, 2012
well the obvious demotion is Salmons
the question is whether he puts Donte or Garcia there, or goes with three guards.
Fireplug - January 16, 2012 via Android app
Outlaw
Im calling it now
Howard Nevens IV - January 16, 2012
The biggest kick in the balls this season
Is having to accept that we traded Beno for John Salmons. John-FREAKING-Salmons!! AND it cost us more money! Ugh!
Dirkula - January 16, 2012
Is it just hitting you now?
Slam_Dunk - January 16, 2012
Yeah, again, and again, and again, and....
Dirkula - January 16, 2012
Jimmered. - January 16, 2012
i hope
Jimmer Out
IT In
Jimmered. - January 16, 2012
Ah! But, he didn't even play IT
Slam_Dunk - January 16, 2012
Give it a rest, man...
Jimmer was not the problem tonight.
bench_blob - January 16, 2012
Right.
Because we need another guy on the floor who will over-dribble.
LeaguePassAddict - January 16, 2012
Are you considering Line Up Changes???
Smart replies:
Salmons, GTFO.
bench_blob - January 16, 2012
Sounds a little like he has been thinking about this, but wanted to see how tonight's game would go.
Slam_Dunk - January 16, 2012
Dude has missed 26 Three Pointers in a Row
He more than enough of a chance to find his game. Has failed miserably.
bench_blob - January 16, 2012
*Had
bench_blob - January 16, 2012
And that might be one of the things Smart is thinking about.
Slam_Dunk - January 16, 2012
Of course, and also Smart has to ponder that JJ Hickson has played like crap.
The two forward spots are where changes are most likely to occur. The back court spots and Cousins are safe.
Best bet for next game:
Reke
MT
Donte
JJ Hickson
Cousins
bench_blob - January 16, 2012
That much O.o
Zuriel Smith - January 16, 2012
he needs to stop insisting that theres no problems with our offensive system
vistroke - January 16, 2012
I didn't get that from Smart's post game interview tonight.
I didn’t write down his words, but he said something to the effect he was giving the guys directions for the simplest offensive executions and they still weren’t getting it. I think he sees there is a problem.
Slam_Dunk - January 16, 2012
yea ur right
i think i heard that in the sound bite they played right before the post game interview
vistroke - January 16, 2012
I like IT off the bench.
His energy is much appreciated. Its minutes that need to change. Sf needs to change. Donte can play D and is rebounding well as of late. I’d rather see that
Zuriel Smith - January 16, 2012
So can we hit rewind
and trade the 7th pick for Tony Parker and Richard Jefferson?
M_Shady - January 16, 2012
Until the coach
Is willing to sit people down for dribbling out the shot clock and jacking up a stupid shot, or dribbling into three defenders and turning it over, or leaving their feet before passing, there will be no system. And until there is a system, we will have an ugly and unproductive offense.
The coach needs to play the players who will run the plays he calls (assuming he’s calling them, which I’m not sure of) and sit the ones who won’t or can’t.
And he needs to slap Donté every single time he jacks up a three.
LeaguePassAddict - January 16, 2012
The worst part?
That used to apply to 1 or 2 guys. Now its the entire stinking team!
Dirkula - January 16, 2012
Yep.
But if Smart will pull Evans, Thornton or Salmons after a particularly bad posession, I’m pretty sure everyone will get the message.
LeaguePassAddict - January 16, 2012
Doubt Evans or Thorton will be pulled.
Plus he said Thornton is still recovering and getting back into the game after his injury.
Zuriel Smith - January 16, 2012
Thornton is my favorite player
Bur he looks like crap this season. His attitude appears to be different this year too.
Dirkula - January 16, 2012
he got freaking paid that's why
why should he play any harder
#1Gandu - January 16, 2012
Getting his shot back
Is totally different from playing within the offense.
He over-dribbles and throws up a desperation 3? Sit him down and make him think about it.
And that goes for everyone, including Evans. No sacred cows.
LeaguePassAddict - January 16, 2012
Absolutely
I think everyone needs to be treated the same regardless of their status on the team.
Nobody stands out as the teams leader, and until that happens, its up to Smart to regulate the game. If we had true leader a lot of this frustration would not exist IMO.
Dirkula - January 16, 2012
I agree, and I think the team as a whole would respect him more for it
Dirkula - January 16, 2012
Isn't that normal?
For people to slump back to what there used to when under pressure? All these people are creators and are used to creating.
Zuriel Smith - January 16, 2012
It's lazy, low IQ basketball.
And the only pressure on them is what they put on themselves by trying to do it all.
LeaguePassAddict - January 16, 2012
-23 Salmons may have
found a seat on the bench
kman949 - January 16, 2012
Grinning Paul Westphal
Is just happy to be out and away from this disfuntional mess.
nohops - January 16, 2012
That's okay. He is the main player who got us into this mess.
Slam_Dunk - January 16, 2012
Jumping out the f-ing window anyone want to join me
