Where y'all been?
they're lagging
Oh no, this is not looking good!
These refs suck
Yeah, they do seem like they have factored into the game.
How many fouls have the refs missed

Ive counted at least half a dozen.

need to regroup right here...

I wana cry soooooooooooooo bad right now……………………

It must be me, but I think we're getting hacked down low
Notice a pattern

TZ opens the second half game thread, we start stinking.

FIRE ZILLER!!!!
AMNESTY ZILLER
It's all TZ's fault
I think the pattern is

Kings come out from tunnel at halftime, start sucking.

Only down 9

Not that bad.

Good time out though. This is where Kings have stopped running the O
We were just tied.
It's a game of runs

Like this one for us.

GOood reke gooooood
Bad shot selection, but nice shot
If it's in the paint it's better shot selection than fadeaway jumpers.
Another great point guard play by Tyreke!!
Why were they talking NFL?

Morons

Cue youngest players in NBA line
JIMMMMMMM333333333333RRRRR
Hayward is killing us.
He doesn't kill any other team any other night, smh...
Jimmer can shoot

do more of that shooting

So Hayward is the mediocre player we're making look like an all star tonight huh?
Every team is due for one when they play us
where's the bench

Is our bench right now taking a vacation? None of them hasnt scored yet????Its the starters that’s keeping this game afloat. Damn c’mon guys do your share

uhh so much good and than again so much shit……come onnnnnnnn we need to win,… stop with the dumb turnovers

Wow someone grab a defensive board!

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
SHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIiiii
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!
More of that Reke
OMg Reke just threw that down
OHHHHOOHOHOHOHOOHOHOHOOHOHOH
REKE

So much for not being athletic.

ESPN
That's a highlight.
You sure they even know we're playing?
NO more talk about trading Reke PLEASE!!!!
But what if we get Calderon?!?!
keep dunking, Tyreke
We'll talk about trading him again next week

after he follows this game up with a few duds.

TRADE REKE?!?
HE SHOULD HAVE PASSED IT!!!11!!!
"tyreke sayin, you wanna get posterized?"

hahahahha, reynolds is awesome

That was so dirty.
Our offense is 3 on 5

And our defense is 4 on 5.

Garcia has to hit that wide open corner 3.

That is a SF’s job.

tyreke is beat

luckily he was able to drop all that offseason weight so fast

Bench needs some pts
Who's Bench??

Did we just sign him??

And does he play Small Forward??
Basketball IQ?

Yeah, he really tried to hit it off him from that distance. Idiots.

We need a win here……..tyrekes effort needs to be rewarded with a W come on…

Poor Reke is exhausted.
move you fucks move
What kind of "run and rebound" offens has 4 players standing

What kind of piece of shit play is that?

Also curious how that wasn't a foul. Jazz have gotten some ticket tac calls. Evans got mugged.
Earl Watson > Kings.
Salmons sitting there on the bench just not looking like he is into this.
That is how he always looks
I'd be absolutely okay if he was cut yesterday.

its over. we fkn lose. stupid jazz with so much luck I cant believe this.

Luck.

LOL

Yeah we're just gonna let that slide.
They're just better than us, nothing to do with luck.

The refs have been crappy tonight though

You don't get to call it over twice
Nice defense....stupid shits
not surprising they hit a shot. only fitting.

Reke is so good and then can be so bad. He didn’t know the clock and last possession strategy. If you’re going to hog the ball at least shoot with only a second or two left on the clock. It turns into a three at the other end. bad bad point guard play.

There was a 3 second difference between shot and game clock
What lineup comes out for the fourth?
There are the rich teams, and then the poor teams

Then there’s 50 feet of crap, then there’s us.

Just watched that last night
Kings played last night?
I want to slap Reynolds.

The dead fish is heating up here and the Kings need him? You’re a problem.

He's finally gone senile.
There is plenty of time, if we don't make mistakes.
Hickson is as worthless as tits on a tomcat.
This Jazz team is fucking deep

How are they not in all the big star rumors? They could have traded for Paul AND Dwight

Or we just make them look really deep

Because we suck shallowly.

Denver, Utah, Houston

showing you don’t need a superstar to win games.

No starters on the floor

Fuck.

but IT is playing better than Jimmer
First bench points!!!!

Oh wait. Fuck.

Hayes, don't shoot, you are out there for yur defense.
of course 2 point blank misses
Is it just me? Or does Hayes look sore?
I'd be sore too
It's that Utah nightlife that got him
They need to start calling some fouls, the Jazz are not that athletic to be blocking this many shots
We're not really that athletic to be blocked much

but Howard, Favors, Hayward, miles, they have some decent athletecism.

Hayward????!

One of these things is not like the others.

That white kid can dunk and has hops.
He can jump a little bit

I wouldn’t say he’s super athletic.

He's no lebron

but he has more ups than most of the Kings.

Isaiah.

Sweet.

Hayes going for it. Good stuff.
I don't know if this line-up should be out on the floor to much longer
Agree. But I'm thinking Smart wants to make sure people are rested before he puts them back in.
Miss, must be a foul on us
Hayes

You’ve been so missed. So missed.

The Jazz is owning the Kings down low.

Every team does…Getting rid of Dalembert and adding Salmons doesn’t get Petrie fired? Fucking how???

Please get jimmer in at the 2 with tyreke at the 3. and fast break as hard as you can. thomas and jimmer are both ON FIRE from the 3..we need to hit threes on the fast break with tyreke driving to the hoop and dishing out to jimmer or thomas. we will win that way.

GET GARCIA OUT, GET DONTE OUT. LEAVE IT AT POINT, MAKE JIMMER 2, REKE 3, BRING IN JT AND DMC.
gotta let reke rest for a bit. he is dead tired....
it is a mile high
That's six players on the floor

I’d say we should win.

Ehhhh maybe...only if our open guy could knock down a shot to save his life
Probably not

We’d still be down one. Kings are usually -2 however many players are in.

Seriously. They need to put the starters back in.

It won’t matter if they put them back in garbage time.

Holy Moly. Just tuning in

WTF is wrong with our bench. I mean 3 points??? Really?

Smart throwing out the banana peels.
What's the NBA record for least bench points?
IT is something.
That's not a charge.
wtf how is that an offensive foul
Jazz player fell down. Lol.
Good, Evans in for Garcia.

Man this game is sailing away from us UGH..time is not infinite and we arent getting the lead down…

Hickson looks so uncomfortable. he has no moves whatsoever
IT is on fire.
He is feeling it!

Go fuck yourself refs

I'm not feeling any of these calls.
damnit another off foul
IT is the hot hand...go for him.
stupid. this game is over
The Kings do not gaurd the perimeter.
How is that an O foul?
I think IT is out of his shooting slump
From the looks of it

It seems that IT, Jimmer, Tyreke, JT, and DMC should be the lineup right now

IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Guess black jerseys or not, they still blow.

Shouldn’t wear them unless they can walk the walk.

reke 9 assists

maybe he is a PG

Did you see that drive? SELFISH
IT is the only thing keeping us in this game

Alec burks looks like Michael Jordan.

I love Alec Burks
there ya go Reke
Down 8

We’ve seen this before.

Yep. We've pulled off a win before.
Trade Jimmer for Burks
just stop it
jimmer for hayward
Hayward and Cousins living together

now THAT would be funny

What is your issue with Jimmer?
Another awesome point guard play by Tyreke!!
Tyreke is doing most of the lifting tonight!
These Jazz players are pussies. Flopping everywhere

This is just so tough to lose…we’ve played so well and we wont have another game in like 2 games..its too long man i need more kings games if were going to lose…

why do you want more games if were losing? id want more if we were winnning
8 points

2 socks, pants, boxers, undershirt, overshirt, hat, watch

AN ARTICLE OF CLOTHING COMES OFF FOR EVERY POINT WE MAKE, LET’S GET NAAAAAAAAKED

No one would get naked with our O
Hat and watch off buddy It's happening
SOCKS NEXT LEt's DO ITTTTT
Fuck.

Socks still on.

Officials have been dreadful
par for the course
Worse than usual
Oh the acting

Thats almost as bad as our defense.

Every Cuz shot is contested
why isnt jimmer in? put him at 2, reke at 3, and take out the fish
Cuz makes his free throws
Every Cuz rebound is contested
Yes!!

Big Cuz!!!!

Thats right guys keep up the pressure. but we could seirously use jimmers 3s right now come on hes 3-4

Cuz is a monster

Man, if we had ANY bench help besides IT…

Oh awesome, Salmons is in
Salmons is in.

Bad things happen.

wtf reke. officials sure are quick to call on dmc
SOCKS OFF BABY YEAHHHHHHHHH
YEAH!! Oh...wait....
Lol. Glad this isn't a video thread
IT thought he was faster than Devin harris

Mistake.

YES! love salmons
Down 5

Feels good about this

Man these fkn blocks are KILLING US

WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No call on Hayward travel
No. Always a foul
Refs don't like the Kings

Dammit guys dunk please stop with the soft layups your giving them easy layups

DONT YOU KNOW THATS A KINGS TRADEMARK? SOFT LAYUPS ARE REQUIRED
Everytime there's a missed shot by the Jazz and

Kings players are near automatic foul called, and the exact opposite when we’re on offensen

Goal tending? Offensive foul ? Fuck these refs

Have we gotten one call our way the entire game???
Crawfords by his lonesome.

Of course not.

even if we lose this game we actually won. fuck the jazz. they got like 15 lucky blocks, they got lucky 20 lucky fouls called. the refs dont call crap for us..thats what won them the game. we deserved a win here so fuck it’

you are like..

I don’t even know how to describe you… The super-violent-homer-troll?

LIGIYFIBHJBGLKHUIOG:OGPO&#@T&(

can we still please have a post game dance thread where we celebrate? because come on this is utter bullshit WE HAD THIS GAME, HAVE THIS GAME and deserve to win.

Not in the mood to dance after a loss.

Stop jinxing shit

Missed both ha ha
WE WANT JIMMER
SOCKS BACK OFFFF
Fuck.

Goddamn this is annoying. I should have thought this plan out better.

When did they go back on?
I was having clothing match point levels

but I may give up this strategy in favor just off and no going back. IN fact THAT"S WHAT IM GONNA DO

Evans left hand!!

Nice. Also we want Jimmer.

I'm not a Kings fan, really

just here to watch IT, but my impartial opinion is these refs are terrible.

DAMN EVANS BEASTING IT UP

Reke - Showtime
THAT'S A GODDAMN BLOCKING FOUL

holy Jimmer these refs are bad

That was My thought
Reke has 29! Got to win this thing.
Salmons fucking sucks so much.

Wow salmons SOB cost us the game

Klank. sigh.. salmons
Why is Salmons in? TAKE HIM OUT

WE WANT JIMMER

salmons wideee opne from 3
THat should have been an 8 seconds backcourt on Hayward.
Nice to see Chuck back
That's another foul on Utah
I would definately take Harris

If we sent out Garcia and Donte.

Jimmer for Salmons, just two minutes too late
Jimmer is coming back in!
SALMONS FOOOR

nothing.

1:30 left and you let fucking fish take a 3?
The refs are just letting Cuz get raped
Cuz drawing fouls.

Also, idiot Utah broadcasters, if the ball is slapped out, the three seconds restarts.

BOO SALMONS AT PBP
We don't boo Kings players

no matter how bad they are.

We'd be hoarse
Neigh, that would never happen.

Stop Horsing around

SUCK IT JAZZ ANNOUNCER YOU DIDN"T GET A CALL
BOOOOOOOOOOO SMART
No offense/defense!! Gah.

WTF jimmer came out OMFG!!!!!! salmons is shit

Why did they take him out after 2 seconds?
FUCK YOU, SALMONS

Nah nah nah nah, ey ey ey, gooood byeeee.

It's all set up for some Jimmer heroics

oops..nevermind. He’s out.

i wanna see how the crowd will react if jimmer hits a buzzer beater

get a stop Kings1

Please at least tie it IM BEGGING U KINGS

Ref needs to hush. Shot attempt restarts three sec count
nice work Jimmer

have a seat

Lol Jimmer laughing.

Come on, Kings…

probably at how bad the refs are
WE HAD POSSESSION!
This is BULLSHIT

These refs fucking suck

That is Fucking bullshit!!!!!
Another missed call, Millsap travel
JESUS CHRIST LET US RUN THAT FB

I HATE these Refs. Even game is called, and the Kings are up 5

That should be a kings basket.

Ugh.

HE HAD POSSESION!!!!!
whaat kind of dog shit is that?
Labrador.

Maybe golden retriever.

Oh my goodness WE NEED THIS WIN! I will die if we dont win

What the FUCK!!!!
Drawing up a Jimmer 6 point play
Well get iawash naked yet
Here you go Jimmer

Hit a 3

That wasn't a missed call

they did that on purpose

That is a freaking awful call
Jimmer, this is where heroes are made.

Jimm3r time.

Niiiiiiiiice play, Reke bringing it
Peja or Bibby hit those shots at the end.

Time to shine.

I'm just holding my breath.
NO MORE PANTS
AND THEY'RE NOT COMING BACK
Jimmer three should do it
The way IT has been shooting it I'd like to see him in as well

Bad call should have let that steal play through.

please please please win

About god-damn time we get a call!!!!
this is fucking bullshit
IT didn;t need to reach there
These refs cost us a lot. Hopefully we can still win.
That was a good call.
Devin looks like Ludacris LOL
Yes he missed it!!

Man please tie it and then win.

Fredette for 3. Let's do this shit.
Cousins got the RB
thats right harris you fucking fuck

dont go for the 3 unless jimmer is open

IT

IT has been awesome tonight but that was an unnecessary foul.

Come on Smart, call 4 down!!!!!

Just kidding

Couldn't be scripted any better for you Jimmer
RUN A PLAY FOR JIMMER LET HIM WIN IT RIGHT HERE

sorry for all caps

Sorry, Batman

Us mere mortals need to go for the tie, if it presents itself :P.

Go for the easy basket.
Always go for the three
Lol

The all or nothing approach, eh?

Say you shoot the three 33% and the two 60%

but if you factor that they only win in OT 50% or less than the two is only 30% or worse.

Jimmer for 3 from 30ft out

easiest shot all night do it doit doit

Best substitution ever hahah iced harris
Evans rock back three pointer?
W/ the double pump
Here is where I have the hardest time watching.

please, please, please

Hopefully Smart is more imaginitive than PW
Let Tyreke win it!!
Hope smart has a play
Whoa Kings got a break that looked like it was off Cousins
Settle it down guys
Here we go.
Ohhhhhh Jimmer.

Oh my god NO WAY. Jimmer is a bust

There you guys go, happy?
Jimmer was fouled there, but hey.
Nevermind, good no call.

Doesn’t change the overall game of horribleness.

???

On the shot?? No one was near him

I thought he was ran into, but Watson played good D there.

Jimmer really should have pump faked.

Good shot.

Bad foul. Bad bad bad foul.

C'mon, Kings.

Work it around, keep cool..

Jimmer is a bust
Coming from the guy that's named "Jimmered"....
Poor username choice.

He jimmered himself.

The question is,

would you have posted this had he made the shot. If not, can a person’s career be determined based on one shot so early in his career?

actually he is a rookie

impatient kings fans, enough of them to sell out arco every night

wow. this fucking sucks
Don't worry Jimmer, you'll get that look again a lot

Just keep shooting and forget the old ones.

Chuck will be out for more time now, shit!
How can you foul before the inbounds there?

Wow

I think Hayes has been having problems with that shoulder all night.
trade jimmer for cj miles
Being a Kings fan...

sigh not fair

I am dead thats it I CANNOT LIVE with this loss..

come on, one more game?
I guess you never know, Jimmer has to make that.
What? FT and possession?

What happened here?

you can't foul before the ball is passed in

or else it’s considered a technical

Fouled before inbounds
Do you guys still likes Jimmer??
Yeah, because no rookie has ever airballed a crunchtime 3
Would we have still liked Peja if he'd missed that game winner against the Sonics in 99?

Yes.

Jimmer > Trolls

Jimmer jockriders are annoying, but so are people that exist solely to hate on him. Just sayin’.

Yes but you are way down on our list.
Can't make em all

Reggie Miller missed more game winners than he made. It happens.

Get a life please
"Might have had a piece of the ball"

What kind of rager statement.

who wants to cry with me??? I dont wana cry alone

I mean I'm game, but I'm sitting around half-naked so that could be pretty awkward for you.
Spoon him gently
At least

Kings broke the 20 point loss steak

anyone else get the feeling the refs are fucking our team over every game?
When you have a bad team, bad calls are way more apparent.
I would say the Maloofs are paying them off so they can move to Anaheim

but I know too much about the Maloofs finances

I would say the calls certainly didn't go in our favor.

Im not going to sleep all night..infact im not sleeping for the next 3 days. I will be crying A FKN WHOLE LOT I cant believe we lose this is INSANE, outrageous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sooo close, yet so far away.

Good effort tonight and Tyreke went crazy, I’ve seen worse games.

This was a good game.
Kid got hurt,

but the music the kings played at the end made me laugh.

Watched Jimmer's shot in super slow-mo

Ball was gone before Watson touched him. Airball.

how did tyreke do tonight?
Well

Was that a leading question?

Yes.

He’s a star. Be patient.

It was a good and encouraging game

He played mainly within the offense, was great in transition, showed some good vision. He’s obviously capable of these types of games. But it was just one game, against a defense that’s nothing to write home about. Let’s keep an eye on the body of work, not get too high or two low after any one game.

His aggressiveness in the open court is what I hope to see more of going forward. It's one of his biggest assets IMO

Have you ever shot those shots before? When a defender runs at you like that you have to alter your shot which caused the airball

Doesn't make it a foul though

If it was a foul on Harris it’s a foul on jimmer

And so did I...

hit on elbow.

Eh?

No way man, ball was gone, hit him on the wrist on the follow through. No elbow about it.

Hmmm

Seemed like there was contact there. Jimmer doesn’t miss that bad.

Jimmered has air out many 3s since he was here

Never surprised.

Always let down. I dont know why I put myself through this shit every fucking game. Adds so much stress to my life.

Can't be too down. Lost close game on road. This is acceptable. Denver game was not
If it's that serious

Maybe you should take a break.

Those of us that were around for 2002 playoffs know what pain feels like when it comes to this team.

This season, as shitty as it’s been, is not that bad.

Hope Chuck is OK
could be worse than losing game
Blind arse guess -

We don’t see Hayes until after the all star break.

Fear you two are both right
That would seem to be the case.

Maybe til next year. Two sublimations in three weeks is usually grounds for a 2 to 3 month rest.

At least this game was more entertaining than UFC on Fox was.

The prelims were pretty good though. I loved watching Isaiah kind of go off in the fourth.

We played good at least...no blow-out road loss!
only 5.5 games back from the Clippers
You're not exactly a bright ray of sunshine.
More like the sunburn after.

GRRREAT improvement by Kings…5-6 guys are really playing well together! Transition D way better, as was ball movement

oh well at least that jazz fan kid got hurt at the end
A stupid thing to say.
Totally unnecessary.
Any Utah guys that are checking us out

This does not represent StR by any sense of the imagination.

You sully the name of Kevin Conroy/
Also think Evans deserves kudos for last possession

Last year he would have thrown up a crazy layup. He made a nice pass too Cousins that Cuz wasn’t expecting. But a great decision.

Tyreke evans is incredible

i will crush you if you disagree

oooh... kinky.
I agree. Hopefully his play tonight will put an end to all this talk of trading him.
LOL bro

All this does is improve his trade value! Now we can get Carmelo!

I'd be happy with Chris Duhon
Trade fish for Melo
The Knicks are so bad, they might just do that. LOL
lol

Fuck yeah, I love Reke.

I am so sad right now but at least we played good, its ok guys we can win at golden state..this was a great game, with improvements all around…

You guys realize we just saw a play run at the end of a game, right?

I mean one other than “Tyreke, do something.” We even got an open shot out of it.

Oh shit I didn't realize that

Good point.

Lmao “tyreke do something” holy shit that is so funny man I am cracking up right now..thanks for that :D

you are all over the place tonight......
The mist of estrogen didn't tip you off the first time?
now we have a few options

“tyreke do something”
“cousins do something”
“jimmer shoot it”
“salmons….. dont”

Two if you count Evans passing to open Cousins

No one flat four

Notice that the two players who went off

were wings. CJ Miles and Gordon Hayward. Salmons blows…

So does Petrie who traded for him.

If anyone lost us this game it was Salmons.

Salmons was quite terrible tonight, got out hustled alot of plays

missed his only big shot attempt, corner 3 in 4th qtr

Yep. Open look would have been huge. Total brick.
I dont know bout yall

But I was impressed by this game. Good passing, good coaching, good play calls, good game for Reke and the choker Jimmer.. lol, I really like Smart, the passing has been improving and he doesn’t let the offense get stgnant as Westphal used to. Make a trade this trade deadline, high draft pick this offseason, signed Batum this offseason and were set

Yeah. This was a good game. It should have been ours, imo. But that is the way it goes.
Yea the loss and the adrenaline leading up to it sucks

But I see improvement every game. We are still going to have duds like the Denver game here and there, want to trade every1 besides Cuz, say our management sucks but as long as I see improved team play ill be happy. Harris didn’t look 2 bad.

We are 4 playing against 5

Absolutely nothing at the wing.

more like 5 on 10
Having only one bench player scorer killed them.

I would say 4 on 8 5 on the opposing team and 3 refs

Seems to be a pattern
If we had a fifteen ppg wing

We’d have 9 wins right now. Seriously.

kobe

airballed from almost the same spot to win against the jazz his rookie year as well.so I’m not gonna be to hard on him.

Comparing Kobe and Jimmer?

I mean, he is a good player and all, but he is no Jimmer……

I'm not comparing jimmer to Kobe at all

jus saying if Kobe misses the same shot his rookie year to win then I can’t be hard on jimmer. I wasn’t making a comparison in skill.

oh wait

wow I’m slow…just got the joke.

lol. 3 min later.
yes I know.lol
I wonder what this team would be like with a SF. One can only dream
Maybe this game points out the highest priority of what this team needs.
Every game does that
Agree, if you mean that the SF position has been shown to be a weak area.

I just thought, in this game, it was really apparent that Salmons offered nothing. The rest of the team held up their end, although Cisco didn’t offer much either.

Could you imagine this team with Kirilenko instead of Salmons

Funny

how Jimmer airballs the shot to win the game (his shot, the one he was brought in to take and make) and all these people swinging on his nuts have got nothing to say. I know he’s a rookie, he’s adjusting, blah blah blah.

Just sick of people heralding this guy as something special.

Let him become that, let him prove it.

He missed a shot

He rushed it, might have gotten hit on the arm. It was a pretty good shot but he missed even Jordan missed more than he made last I checked.

You might set up the perfect play

But doesn’t always mean they’ll make it. More often than not a player misses that sort of shot. I’m certainly not going to rail on a rookie for that.

Maybe you should fence if you can't rail
Jimmer's nuts are so fuckin' big you can swing from em.
One way to breakdown this game

Is Kings were outscored by 14 points, 21-7 Salmons vs. Gordon Hayward, in 3 point loss. Thats all the analysis I care to do about now…a struggling 2nd year player against our $9 million dollar starting SF….

What say you, Geoff Petrie???

Geoff has gone into hiding.
He says NEIGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

For the horse is dead, but it can still be beat!

I'm fine with the play, though Jimmer rushed the shot, and he could have thrown a head-fake in there to get Earl Watson to jump sooner

All in all, the execution was good… He just missed. There have been far worse moments this season. A rookie airballing a potential gamewinner sucks, but I’ll bet he makes the next one he takes.

I'm fine with it too. If he would have made it, he would have been a big time hero.
He pushed off pretty hard tho...

that could get called in the future

Yeah I noticed that.
