Rudy gay is good
As JR would say, "He's the real deal."
Our old nemesis

The third quarter returns.

WTF is going on?
Third quarter nemesis.
Why is Jimmer out?

That lob was in no way his fault.

Probably resting him. He's seen alot

of action

Why is Jimmer out?

Never thought I’d hear those words

Probably mix up the scorers. Need to have some off the bench later in the quarter with no Thornton or Salmons
cmon Refs. get us something
Why do I have a feeling we come back and win this game...

Not sure why… and could be extremely wrong, but I feel it…

We better start making our move then.
There is so much time in this ballgame left.
True. But it doesn't work if we play like we did in the first half where we don't make the move until the end of the half.

Gotta cut it down to single digits by the end of this quarter.

If the Kings can get it to 12

We’re alright -Nostradamus

I won't doubt you.

you were on point last night.

If we get it to 12, I'll be amazed at this point LOL
Wanna try that again HL?
So all we needed for Tyreke and Jimmer to play like PGs is to have a Smart coach?
nice finish by é

thought he was trapped under the hoop

Same.

Luckily he was athletic enough to stay in the air long enough to put the ball on the other side.

There we go.

Scoring on back to back possessions. I like.

these refs are FUCKING ridiculous

I agree I would love to punch at least 1 of those refs and knock every single one of their teeth out and scream at their face for their ridiculous performance.

Wow that's pretty serious
Smart move to bring in IT to cover Conley
I don't think I've ever run under the arm of the player guarding him like Izzy did a few minutes ago

Its a good move but when the fk was his brain 2 quarters ago when conley went on a RIDICULOUS unnecessary role that completely killed us.

Jimmer doesn't need rest

Played almost every minute of every game his senior year.

Played Offense of every single minute of every game. Took breathers on defense
He's fine. Throw him out into those shark infested waters.
More of a macth up issue

He’ll be back

Well, defensively he wants to try Thomas on Conley who is killing us

Can’t really have Evans, Jimmer and Thomas in against this lineup. Gay alley oop was too easy.

wait how many games are there in the NCAAs again?
(obviously doesn't need rest here)

but let’s not use that logic

Donte seems like he's playing with confidence this year

and making plays like that…. but i dont know, you cant take positive comments about donte seriously anymore

I can

he’s finally playing a lot at PF which is his position

Does Thornton just suck or is he hurt?
Hurt

Thigh tightened up.

Seriously

Have we ever been a good third quarter team?

Last night is the only game where we didnt get destroyed
bottom line is we are going to get pasted in a lot of games

but as the team gets better and they will the hole they dig for themselves won’t be as deep

A few stops and a few baskets and were back in it
gasol can really pass
Marc Gasol

We are all Witnesses

seriously, this guy is running an absolute clinic
Guess he's showing why he is a max contract guy.
I dream of him playing next to Cuz
Keep dreaming
You wouldn't see these calls in a high school game. Come on.
Has anyone seen Reke?
i'd take gasol over bynum
Donte making a case for starters minutes
Wow. These announcers know Isaiah isn ot related to former IT
Gasol is trolling us right now
lol

omfuckinggod

Now this game is OVER
What the hell, Marc?
Marc Gasol?

What the fuck

Shameful defense
Gasol is just trolling us
We aren't going to win if Griz shoot like this all night
How the fuck is that goaltending?
Ouch! I don't like where this is heading.
the destination was known prior to the game starting

we were hoping that they would keep playing like they did in the last two games and that’s unlilely to happen. Baby steps means you fall on your butt a lot

i like Marc way better than Pau
I CANT BELIEVE THESE FUCKING ZEBRAS
goaltending???
Lol.

Does Cousins want to start guarding him? WTF!!!!!!

Maybe put Jimmer back in to run the offense again
I think they're shoooting 89%
wow

can we swap entire rosters?

Marc's first 3 of year???? Why isn't he making more? Dude looks solid.
So glad we could help him out with that.
Kings would be the only team that gives him that shot
How can that possibly be goaltending
these Refs r fucking Shaving fo sho
HOLD UP

is Hassan in the frickin crowd!?!

seriously

did I just see Hassan up in the stands jumping up and down?

Someone's wearing a clown costume?
Down 24pts...

this sucks

I AM JUST. I AM . I AM. I AM I AM SO I………………………………………………………………..

I hate to say this right now but I think I'm done watching. No defense no energy.
okay but if you leave and you see the boxscore online that the Kings made a comeback

you are stuck in jinx land and can’t come back

It's the StR law
I stopped watching the comeback game, only to check back in at the end of the 4th.

I have forever regretted that I turned that game off.

OK OK I'll keep watching
Are you from LA?

It’s the 3rd qtr…chill

tyreke is too inconsistent scoring the ball
The Kings are too inconsistent scoring the ball
The Kings are too inconsistent defending the ball
The Kings are too inconsistent.
what rate do you think he should be hitting?

I agree with you but it’s somewhat the nature of the game

on side note

the lighting in the memphis gym kinda sucks

I'm going to turn the game off now

Because every time I don’t watch this team they win, like that game against the Spurs

Even that game against Indiana I turned it off after the 3rd quarter and they came back.

do your duty then good sir!
So they pull Jimmer and Grizzlies go on a huge run.

Need somebody to distribute here.

Run started with Jimmer in, has little to do with it.
6 assists and 15 points definitely helped them stay close in the 2nd
They did. But Griz run started with Jimmer in in the third. They came out playing smart halfcourt game after half
He got his time in the third.

Now he’s being rested. He’ll be back.

and if he comes back and starts killing it again

then guess what, he might get even more minutes in the future

YOU DONT CALL A FOUL WHEN WE ARE GOING TO SCORE!
Got bailed out before the pass for the dunk? Ok announcers.
I don't understand JR's love for Hickson

especially when it comes to his jumpshot

have we gone to the free throw line this quarter?
Typical bonehead cisco
I hate Garcia.

He is shit.

They need to give all his minutes to Donte.
You and Letsgokings13 need to relax.

That was a good shot, just didn’t drop.

He is shit, though.
Yeah well the rest of our team isn't doing much better tonight.
How bout that pass before the shot? and that other pass earlier where he fucking threw it into a croud of grizzlies
Evans to the line.
Jimmer is in!!!!
Did they actually call a foul on the Grizz? Someone slap me, I might have fallen asleep
Mayo is killing me.
Grizz starters will kill our zone

maybe not their backups but their starters will

Might not want to keep going with the zone..
lol, for some reason i hate oj mayo
He does have a less than stellar history

so I’m sure many agree with you

hes orange juice mayonnaise
I knew that was going in before he caught the ball
I'm guessing the fans are getting tacos tonight.
They probably modified the promotion since they're playing the Kings.
Cannot watch any more of this...

GO NINERS!!!

Donte 8/9?

Whaaaa?

Hard to beat a team shooting so well.
Defense usually helps
Donte's gonna get extended he keeps playing like this.
DONTRE is on fire
these commentators r pissing me off too
2 years ago when he was in my team Mayo couldn´t hit water when he fell out of a boat.
How the hell did Donte not get fouled???
Did I actually hear Grant say that?

“With that just cancel the fourth quarter and get out of here.”

Can't blame him.
"If that went in then cancel..."

on a terrible Mayo heat check

Peaches are

easily bruised and get rotten easily.

Reke got mugged underneath
Gasol a King killer
Lol G-Man

With his dialogue of Marc Gasol

“What are you doing little guy? I don’t think so!” Hahaha.

Gasol just ate Isaiah
we suck

tonight

IT has been horrible here
And he wont give Jimmer the GOD DAMN ball.
seems like it to me too
good game by donte and jimmer at least

but our key players sucked

sigh

we need salmons

Never thought I'd hear anyone say that this season.
He must be REALLY drunk
we need the defense!!
I kind of agree though..

does that mean i’m REALLY drunk too? Probably..

2 guys run over to pick up Jimmer

I like it

these guys can really shoot
Isaiah?

what kind of dump off to Jimmer was that?

"Oh shit I dunno what to do I dunno what to do I can't handle another miss"

“Oh, here you go Jimmer.”

My eyes hurt from crying..ugh so watery.

Not IT's best game...
He has been awful.

Turnovers, crap passes, crap shooting. And he is being petty and won’t pass to Jimmer.

really don't it's pettiness
I honestly think so.

It seems like he is making a point not to let him sniff the ball.

I would be very surprised
Maybe I'm just drunk but..

Chicago status tonight. Count it.

Ok nevermind.

I may be drunk but that’s not happening.

ZOMFG TRADE IT THIS GUY BLOWS WTF ALDSJFKJASDLFJLKJ
I just don't understand this. The Grizz played last night but they look like they've been resting for a few days. The Kings look like they just played a back to back to back
Agreed

We need practice and lots of it.

Oh, and it would be nice if we could ever get that 77th point!

Didn't care for this to happen, but the IT vs. Jimmer scale has been balanced tonight.

Both rookies, good and bad nights, etc..

The only thing I will find interesting for the fourth is how Smart adjusts to this.

Does he basically concede the game and use this as a training camp opportunity? Or, does he concede the game and use this as a training camp opportunity?

I don't think it matters either way
I want Petrie gone. I want the maloofs' limbs chopped off. i want a good team.
anger management?

Get a grip

I want to stop reading stupid torture fantasies
then shut your eyes
so you get off on torture fantasies?
Flag and move on, Wally.
oh no flagging!
Goes directly to the FBI which does an investigation
4 of Gasols 6 blocks should have been fouls
yeah, I'm frustrated with these refs
Silver lining......

Jimmer popped his NBA cherry (and possibly his real cherry) maybe he can be a legit option

LOL

I suggested the same thing as to the change in Jimmer. Maybe he finally got laid?

Memphis

Underrated or incredibly underrated?

sometimes the hoop looks as big as a garbage can

Memphis is hot tonight, not that the Kings are doing much to slow them down

Didn't think they were this good

Solid starters and good bench

i really REALLY want donte to start
and interesting thing about the kings is

we dont have any player that gets special treatment from the refs. If Kobe was Reke tonight he would have lived at the free throw line

The refs have swallowed their whistles on our end of the court all night
Like Coach Smart said the other night in his post game interview.

The refs tend to call in favor of the aggressive team. We are not the aggressive team tonight and have not had the benefit of the calls.

I believe that Salmons D would have helped a bit tonight. Anyone agree?
just about anyone's d would have helped toniight
Fair enough. I just think we needed Salmons on Rudy. I think he would've slowed him down a bit.
Could have been a factor. They have just walked all over us.
not on rudy gay

we saw how that went last time

I'm struggling with the idea that Salmons

is the difference between us giving up 85 and 130

I hope we don't lose by 40
Has Outlaw ever passed in his life?
He makes other people pass out

if that counts

He's probably the only current King that if I saw in public

I’d yell at, just to let him know how awful he really is

Man Rudy Gay is really good

Really really really good.

if we're gonna jack up 3's they should all be shot by the white guy
Hahaha. True statement right there
Can we put Cousins in to pull down 2 rebounds please

The fact that this game is so shit, and the happy voices of the grizzlies announcers is driving me INSANE.

It's why I listen to the G-Man at all times.
3 pointer with 20 seconds on the shot clock and no one underneath to board...

Klank!

gotta love hearing this everytime the kings play "his best night of the season", while always referring to the other teams players
Wow...

What’s the highest score run up by an NBA team that isn’t the All-Star team?

Just checked, for his career Outlaw is averaging .9 assists per game

In Sac he is averaging .2 per game. In a nutshell, he has been known to very occasionally pass the rock

That is once every 5 games
I'm surprised it's that many
I almost ran over Pargo once

true story

did he almost hurt your car?
well was going about 5 miles an hour so probably not much dammage
How did this get so very ugly?
I absolutely hate you outlaw...

HATE you!

Not many NBA teams if any would have beat the Grizz tonight.
Still, not much consolation.

I feel like we’re the only team that let’s an opponent get like this.

We had some things working against us.

Salmons, Hayes, and Thorton out. Big game yesterday. Just wasn’t our game tonight.

Watched this same Memphis team

Destroy Chicago. They are currently dismantling everyone.

they would have beat the Heat tonight

they are anti – gravity tonight. Every shot just goes up and in

It is pretty easy to score alot when you are completely open every posession
At least Cousins got his double double
That and Jimmer seemed to break out tonight.

All-in-all not a bad game.

Us kings fans have the most pathetic optimism. its bad :(

lose by 40 and we still pull positives :/

Memphis played an A+ game

Kings didn’t play well

Seriously. I long for the days when we'd be pissed to lose by 4.
LoL

Guess we’re used to it.

Outlaw u BLOW
I wish Keith Smart had a twitter account

So I could offer him 5% of my income to never play Outlaw again

Though 0.50 probably won’t sway him enough

Memphis scored exactly 34 in first 3 quarters...
wouldnt mind a 50 point loss

Guys its ok!!! tomorrow we will play at Portland where we will have a similar blow out!

thank the good lord
We don't play tomorrow
Thank the good lord.
The Grizz were just hot tonight and riding a 5 game winning streak I believe. The Kings didn't show up tonight.
Yeah, but against crappy teams and the good teams

Were missing their best players.

I never look at that way. Bad teams beat good teams all the time and good teams are almost always missing key players. We loved the win last night against the Spurs and they were missing Ginobli.
A win is a win and a loss is a loss IMO
Grizz shoot 56.6%, 11 OREB

Kings shoot 41.0%, 10 OREB,
that´s terrible

Is it sad that 41% actually doesn't seem too bad for this team?
Pulled the chair out on em
damn I had a new dancing gif lined up for tonight too
WW save it for a good night.
If it's really really good it will be awesome the next time the Kings get a win

you guys have almost used all available gifs available on the internet in the last two post game threads

I think you underestimate the giftitude of the Internet.
Well... good news is...

We’ve won 2 of our last 3!!!

Speights looks good
incredibly inconsistent

that mid range shot usually doesn’t go in and he loves it

can't play a lick of d either

but great nba body and scoring down low

Haddadi gettin pussy tonight
GREAT!! TIMEOUT!!!
Prolong the agony.
possibly learn something. I'm pretty sure Smart isn't drawing up any plays
Double double for DMC

At least thats not his in-n-out order anymore

Now I want In and Out

Screw you Colin

Do you have a brother named Cavin?
I did once

But my parents killed him

my mouth started watering
now he can order as many as he can eat. 18 animal style with fries nd extra spread, grilled onions
Jimmer really has had a good game
I agree, bu he's 5-13? I don't remember him missing that many, and he's barely had the ball the 2nd half
Yeah

but I’m just happy he’s pulling that trigger and in good situations.

Some missed floaters and a couple missed really tough shots as the clock was expiring (2 I think).
at least fredette finally got to 20
Whoopadeedoo :/

Kidding. Good for him.

JT, JJ, Thornton, Garcia, Outlaw, Thomas all sucked hardcore.

Evans and Cousins were bad.

hmmm...JT -27
so is jimmer
If I could never see the +/- stat again

I would LOVE it

So what’s going on? I have you guys on League Pass, but I swear every time I decide to watch you guys on League Pass, you’re being blown out. No offense.

So you're cancelling league pass tomorrow

right?

LOL!

I like that they are boring Cousins every basket

Well, we are 1 game away from .500 under new coach...

Loss is a loss, whether by 5 or 50. Even though we shouldn’t be losing by that much in the first place.

I feel so much better now

thanks

Wow, only a T?
BULL SHIT.
I agree

It was a bullshit call, that wasn’t a T

Iraq attacks
Lol, I'd comment, but that setup is too easy XD.
Haddadi just standing there....no cat for u!
Haddadi didn't do dat.
I wonder if that's considered game shape for Haddadi?
Ouch.
Haddadi shouldn't be allowed on the court when IT is in

one slip on a wet spot or a trip over his shoelaces and all that would be left of Isiah would be a bloody spot on the floor

Fredette is our high score
WHY DIDN'T WE WIN

/Snark

At least we saw that bitchin documentary earlier
I'm turning it on right now
That docu was pretty bitchin.
Big loss, but I am not that upset about it. I guess because of the win against the Spurs.
A loss is a loss, no matter the total

Kings went 2-1, got to love it. I’m not sure there was a team in the league that would have beat Memphis tonight

Agree. 2-1 not too bad.

Tonight was training camp. Where can you pay to get that kind of competition to train against?

at least it wasn't 40!!

Anybody want to play som COD on XBL?

some*
Hi.
I guess it's good I missed the game?
Yeah dude. It was awful.
dang. Well I hope Monday will be better since I'll be there
Didn't work when we were there last time hahaha
Haha true. As long as we play like we did against the Lakers and Spurs we may win.
Plus Portland has been struggling as well

lost to Detroit today

Hey

You wanna play?

Let’s see if we can get some more people to play

Yeah I'm on.

I have a friend on as well

K I'll get on in a sec
LOL

what took so long

Hats off to Grizz

They look like a great team.

What should we do with our hats?

Probably eat them.

put them back on and hide your face
And the kids and the wives.

I hate knicks grizzlies nuggets and blazers the MOST! I hate them so so so so so so much

Complete ass kicking
I'm just happy the game is over. On to the next. I hope the Kings take this loss very seriously and come out better after this
Not too sure about that
Andddddddddddd

all the fun from last night was ruined.

no it's not

win some lose more

IT just needs to find his shot.

5 rebounds, 5 assists to 1 TO is not bad at all.

I wonder why Smart refuses to play him in the first half.

He gets warmed up for the game then sits all through two quarters and half time. No wonder he comes in cold.

Last 2 games IT looked like 60th pick
Hard to take any positives from this one

but Jimmer probably had his best gamre

No one was seriously injured.

Jimmer came out (so to speak); Donte collected more stats for his resume, and Cousins collected another double-double.

Good one from Jimmer

Just play, don’t think so much

Yes, hope he carries his success tonight forward.
At least we aren't the Wizards!
amen
Do you have a link to the interview in your Sig?
Tough loss tonight. Off to watch the Kings documentary thing on the DVR.
I miss Chuck

This team sorely needs someone not concerned with scoring and will fight for all the little things that win ball games

Conley, Gasol and Rudy Gay were on fire tonight

and the Kings weren’t. Looks like Memphis is getting back into the playoff race

Holy Fuckballs.

LaMarcus Aldridge on Monday?

Anything other than a total beatdown will be a good sign

pencilled in as a loss the day I saw the schedule

i can't watch....portland,yikes!!!!
Is not shaving an honor code violation @ BYU?
Actually yes, it is.
Most even scoring by a team I've ever seen.

34-34-34-26.

Wonder what Smart will say?
will say a lot about him, Hope he doesn't get all huffy like Westphal did
Memphis may be the best team in the west

once Randolph comes back

Smart: We didn't have enough to get back into the game.

Talking about Jimmer: This game gives an opportunity to teach.

“This game is under the bridge.”

I'm impressed with Smart so far

so glad Westphal is under the bridge

Me too.

Glad Westphal is history. We are in much better shape looking toward the future, than we would be with PW. At least that it how it seems.

Heehee

I chuckled thinking about what Westphal would have said after that loss.

we suck!!

Geoff petrie needs to make some moves…….well i hope the niners win sunday!!!!!!!!

How much spam e-mail do you get?

Or, another way to phrase that, how many bank accounts in Nigeria do you have under your name?

Feel so sad about JoePa
