This game is further proof that Westphal needs to go
Everytime we have a lineup on the floor that is working, he changes it. Hayes is getting ABUSED, as is Salmons. Neither of them should be playing. Put Outlaw & Cousins back into the game. Play JT more as well
Nothing personal man just trying to help fellow kings fans
Sorry for bending the rules a little bit.. Make sure u always drive 65 mph on the freeway they’ll catch u. Kings Lost I’m done with this blog anyway & u guys cry about everything goodnight.
you are literally putting the site in legal and financial danger. How dense can you possibly be? And to get bent out of shape because people dare not want the site to be in legal and financial danger? You sincerely suck.
Just cause u guys sit here all day posting doesn’t make u more of a kings fan then I’am. So whatever, sorry if I hurt anyone’s feeling not trying to get ur site banned .. As if it really was going to happen.
this isn’t about you. The fact you can’t comprehend this comes off looking like you are old enough to still possibily wet the bed.
This isn’t about regulars ganging up on the new guy. This isn’t about anyone disagreeing with your opinion. This isn’t about hurting anyone’s opinion. This isn’t about what you try or not try to do.
Get over yourself and just don’t post feed links. G.R.O.W.U.P.
Too young and dumb to realize he's supposed to quit on his team and coach and just play lazily looking for the easy shot to increase his percentages and contract value.
Cousins later went into the coach’s office, Greig said, and asked Westphal why he singled him out. Greig said Westphal told Cousins, “I don’t have time to talk to you about this.”
Though technically that turnover goes to Cousins…. LOOK AT THE SPACING….All 4 Kings players are within 10 feet of Cousins. TERRIBLE spacing. Terrible coaching. Terrible effort.
Please man. Don't give me that 'embarassing yourself' bullshit.
Is he really the 4th best rebounder in the league, or just currently 4th in rebounding after… what less than 10 games?
He gives no effort.
Do you not understand what we are upset about?
You have blinders on apparently.
Are just being purely illogical and over-reactive. You don’t trade a sophomore after a bad start to the season. One who is the 4th best rebounder in the league, by the way.
Who gives a crap is he’s (currently) the 4th best rebounder in the league. His efficiency is laughable, he has absolutely no game awareness, and his attitude is crap. Being the 4th best rebounder trumps all this?
It is also kind of hard to make “easy” shots when the whole team collapses on your center because your starting PG SG SF and PF can’t make “easy” open shots. It works both ways. Utter failure from the whole team.
Watching Cousins slumping around and Evans bricking shots makes me sick Jimmer ended up with sorry group. I know he has his weaknesses but I’ll bet he didn’t believe his NBA experience was with such a group of misfits. This team stinks, really stinks, they are a 15 to 20 win team at best.
everybody says he scores double digits…he takes 13 shots to make 13 points…it’s annoying as hell when he does gay reverse layups instead of just slamming it in.
Lets trade Tyreke too. And Thornton. They are having bad games, so they MUST be traded, right? Tyreke especially isn’t having the best start to the season. Lets tear it all down since 21 and 22 year olds are being inconsistent.
I need to take a break from this website soon. You guys are embarrassing yourselves.
Look, I understand he is immature and his inefficiency is terrible right now
But we drafted him knowing this would be the problem. That is the only reason he fell to the 5th pick. And if we trade him, at his point of lowest value, we’re going to be screwed. The entire team is volatile right now, there are serious chemistry issues. But some of you need to be logical for a second and think of the big picture.
Trade Cousins now at his lowest value and destroy our franchise’s future? Sounds fun.
Westphal is obviously on the way out, we need to wait and see if a new coach can reach out to Cousins. If he can’t, then you gotta trade Cousins. But from everything written, Westphal has been an asshole to Cousins (and yes, Cousins is guilty of being immature too), but you need to understand why he must be disgruntled.
Those two Cousins-bashers are just so disillusioned right now
This is a team, no, a franchise that is terrible from the top to the bottom. We need new owners, we need a GM with a spine, and we need a coach who knows what he is doing. We’ve got a young, talented team that is ready to be molded one way or another. They can either become great, or absolutely horrible. We know which way they are moving now.
This is the worst passing team I’ve ever seen. Green and Outlaw are launching threes with Jimmer stannding wide open one pass away. This team shares the ball more poorly than any team I’ve ever seen. Does anyone on this team know what their teammates strenghts and weaknesses are. Sorry sorry group,
trade value is destroyed, in a desperate attempt for Westphal to gain control of his team that he never had. Maybe before this whole situation. But also 0.00 percent chance Howard would resign here
Westphal has to go. Any competent front office would see that the team needs a new coach. We have time to decide Cousins’ fate. But now, Westphal HAS to be fired. No other option.
There’s nothing redeeming on the coach quitting on his players, nor the players quitting on their coach. It’s unprofessional douchebaggery, no matter how you slice it.
If this coach PAUL WESTPHAL will stay with this team. How can a player be hot if he will not be given enough minutes. And on a bad note, he gives more minutes to wrong players.
Goddamn, im starting to feel everyones Westphal hate
he’s just standing there hiding behind his new beard… i almost feel like he wants us to lose just to prove that our players are shitty and its not his fault
I’m surprised he is still in the league. He has to be the dirtiest, (not in a good way), player out there. I have lost all my respect for that guy after seeing the crap he pulls.
I need me a T-shirt that says “Being a Sacramento Kings fan is the hardest thing I’ve done in my life”. Sheesh. I love the Kings but I’ve never seen anything like this.
That is how he usually plays when he’s not overthinking it. The passing is nice, though. IT and Jimmer would be a good backcourt, at least in college. Not sure if they could both coexist in the NBA.
Every team comes in with their coach telling that they can score so easily against this team while PW doesn’t say that. Then when the other team misses their confidence doesn’t go down, but when the kings miss it confidence goes down the drain.
He is my favorite player, and I am starting to question why. He has been about as inconsistent this year as anybody. I’m hoping its just due to this horrendous offense.
We are terrible. Reke looks like a chicken with his damn head cut off. Thornton was non existent and is a chucker. Cousins has regressed since last year, and quite frankly looks awful… as has Donte. Hickson and Thompson are decent but almost the exact same player. Hayes is a decent third big on a contender, nothing else. Salmons & Outlaw – see Hickson & JT. Jimmer plays atrocious D and isn’t athletic enough to play the 1, IT is Jeter 2.0. The sole bright spot = Whiteside. Fuck.
he sent Salmons in with 3 minutes left in the 2nd half. But why?
So he can close out the half cold as ice? Makes no sense to me. Either put him in with 7-8 minutes left minimum or not at all, unless there is a personal foul issue.
"(I did it) for two reasons," Kings coach Paul Westphal said of playing the bench. "One is that we had a lot of offensive firepower on the floor with Jimmer and Isaiah and (Francisco Garcia). We were able to spread to floor and have a lot of 3-point shooting and get penetration. I thought the best chance to get back in the game was to crack open a few steals and get some threes.
"If that did happen, we would have our starters fresh for the last 5 or 6 minutes. If it didn’t happen, they would be rested for dinner."
I give these guys the benefit of the doubt when it comes to "hustle",
as they are paid millions to do so. I really just think the team is less talented this year than we were last year. And we were pretty disparaged in the talent department last year.
Stretch where Hickson was fouled on the dunk but we inbounded missed a shot.
Gasol flopped and got an and-1 over Hayes
Hayes got another and 1 foul on Conley
And I think there was one more and 1 for the grizzlies after that.
Westphal shouldve called a time out when they made the 1st and one. Might have kept this game close
That might help the distributing problems. Isaiah looks more like he wants to shoot than pass, though. Surprisingly, Jimmer doesn’t. IT can definitely ball, though.
I honestly think Jimmer could do 18-20 pts every night (and Isiah too) if he felt the leadership was needed or that he was allowed to take it.
He started off shooting badly, and recovered. That was common of him in college. He’s a high volume shooter, but when he’s free to shoot high volumes, his percentage goes up and he produces. Before this game, I don’t feel like he had the freedom to shoot, so his percentage was usually low and he didn’t score too much. Isiah seems to thrive when he’s given more freedom as well. Jimmer’s D, on the other hand, more of a “long-term” project.
Imagine if this team was Anaheim's first impression of the Kings
That would have been a complete disaster and hilarious at the same time. This is also the reason the Kings should thank their luck stars they’re in Sacramento. A season like this (at least the start) will not change the dedication that the fans have for the team.
Man we suck

$KingsElite$ - January 3, 2012
man PW needs to go..
jadams12 - January 3, 2012
This team needs an enema.
SierraSpartan - January 3, 2012
because we're full of shit?
elfboy_ - January 3, 2012
I was thinking we need to be cleaned inside and out...
…but your explanation works just as well.
SierraSpartan - January 3, 2012
No he means literally give the players enemas so that they're lighter on their feet and can play with more energy.
iashwash - January 3, 2012
If we're gonna see crap on the floor, then I wanna see CRAP ON THE FLOOR!!!
SierraSpartan - January 3, 2012
omfg. I hate, uhhh I can't say it
2001nbachampions - January 3, 2012 via iPhone app
lets all cry together guys…we lost this game..terrible night for us :/ >.<
CousinsEvansDUO - January 3, 2012
Losing by 20 is getting to be a common thing for the Kings.
I’m pretty sure doing that consistently isn’t a good thing.
DiegoKing - January 3, 2012
we win, or get blown out of the water
Nothing in betwen

Jimmer is demanding a trade back to BYU
49er16 - January 3, 2012
Jimmer wants to make a pilgrimage to the Jazz.
iashwash - January 3, 2012
wow....
we just got new york knicked again
AnkleMan - January 3, 2012
Jimmer is the best player on the team
$KingsElite$ - January 3, 2012
Don't know about that
He’s played pretty poorly too
raiderking21 - January 3, 2012
Rager of a statement.
iashwash - January 3, 2012
Though that was a good defensive play just now.
iashwash - January 3, 2012
Somewhat sarcastic
At least he keeps himself composed when things aren’t looking great.
$KingsElite$ - January 3, 2012
Too young and dumb to realize he's supposed to quit on his team and coach and just play lazily looking for the easy shot to increase his percentages and contract value.
iashwash - January 3, 2012
No!
$KingsElite$ - January 3, 2012
We're the Sacramento Kings and we have no fucking clue how to rebound.
49er16 - January 3, 2012
Knicker
Bockered.
HarveySpecter - January 3, 2012
Thats it
I am officially on the FIRE WESTPHAL bandwagon!
Dirkula - January 3, 2012
Almost impossible not to be.
We stink.
Ichiban - January 3, 2012
Are you not a fan of this glorious offense we are running?
X_47 - January 3, 2012
Don't FIRE... HIRE!
JVG! J-V-G!

Memphis anounces saying Cousins seems disinterested in playing for the kings
SharkKings49 - January 3, 2012
we have only 8 assists?!!!!
Westfail……
aizen07 - January 3, 2012
we are
without a doubt the worst team in the league- maybe new jersey is worse
sacman - January 3, 2012
New jersey knows how to pass the ball
aizen07 - January 3, 2012
how do we not keep either thornton or evans on the floor?
Westphal is a dumbass
Portland's Cowboy fan - January 3, 2012
What does that mean?
Jimmered. - January 3, 2012
Yea that's a great coach for ya
Ninja King - January 3, 2012
It means Westphal doesn't have the time for Cousins
Which is extremely irresponsible of the coach to blow off a player like that.
omikron - January 3, 2012

Jimmered. - January 3, 2012

Time to win.
$KingsElite$ - January 3, 2012
this may be the worst we've ever been in the last two decades.
2001nbachampions - January 3, 2012 via iPhone app
06-07 Kings?
Reke_Havoc13 - January 3, 2012
That team was way better.
omikron - January 3, 2012
worse. no doubt about it

This is hard to watch tonight.
Brings out the masochist.
Slam_Dunk - January 3, 2012

raiderking21 - January 3, 2012
Cisco is in. 1-0 when Cisco plays
Reke_Havoc13 - January 3, 2012
Definitely
Pulling MT23 from my Fantasy league tomorrow. He’s like my one gamble, and he’s screwing up.
HarveySpecter - January 3, 2012
How does a team get older and more talented
Yet worse on the court?
omikron - January 3, 2012
Poor coaching
Slam_Dunk - January 3, 2012
were not more talented
hayes is a downgrade of daly. Jimmer is a downgrade of beno, salmons and casspi are a wash they both suck.
sacman - January 3, 2012
That last Cousins turnover...
Though technically that turnover goes to Cousins…. LOOK AT THE SPACING….All 4 Kings players are within 10 feet of Cousins. TERRIBLE spacing. Terrible coaching. Terrible effort.
ridingthebench - January 3, 2012
Where is Thorton in all this?
2-7 FG, 5 pts
Ryan J - January 3, 2012
Lost in Westphal's nonsense of an offense

Grizz D looks like a knock out punch
kman949 - January 3, 2012
Oh maybe yet,
I’ll take someone every night who plays the Kings.
HarveySpecter - January 3, 2012
Sound philosophy.
DiegoKing - January 3, 2012
Welp, I'm good with watching the rest of this crap.
It’s been real.
DiegoKing - January 3, 2012
Miss a shot.
Give up a fast break basket.
Lather, rinse, repeat.
jveezy - January 3, 2012
Reminds me of 07-08 season, when the Kings would lose 3rd Qs by 20-30pts
On our way to 18 wins that season.

See, things are so bad now, I'm remembering the worst days as better than they were.
Nostalgia. Natt-stalgia.
elfboy_ - January 3, 2012
Is that blog Third Quarter Collaps still around?
I feel like I haven’t seen Ben Q Rock in forever.
iashwash - January 3, 2012
They changed the name to reflect the fact that their team is good now.
jveezy - January 3, 2012
He came up with that name here
iashwash - January 3, 2012
we should change it to: full game collapse
That’s how bad it is.
2001nbachampions - January 3, 2012 via iPhone app
Fire Westphal and trade Cousins.
We need to change the chemistry of this team IMMEDIATELY.
Ichiban - January 3, 2012
Just fire Westphal. That will make an immediate change.
Slam_Dunk - January 3, 2012
What about Cousins?
What are we going to do about him?
Ichiban - January 3, 2012
Wait around for him to get fat again
otis29 - January 3, 2012
No no no
Be proactive dude! Team Dinners at McDs! In N Out burger in the practice facility1 Free Carls Jr fries for every shot!
iashwash - January 3, 2012
1st pick here we come!!
CrimeD - January 3, 2012
Never will Stern allow that to happen.....never.
DiegoKing - January 3, 2012
nah, NO is getting the 1st pick. Its already preordained.
Wonderchild - January 3, 2012
IT!
49er16 - January 3, 2012
Cousins is giving it about 30 percent out there
a true pro
OKO - January 3, 2012
He has to go.
Ichiban - January 3, 2012
Oh shush
He is having a bad game, he is still our highest potential player.
omikron - January 3, 2012
Potential, yes.
Malcontent, yes.
Not giving 100%, yes.
Ichiban - January 3, 2012
4th best rebounder in the league? yes
Stop over-reacting. You’re embarrassing yourself.
omikron - January 3, 2012
The small sample size approves
He can play one half of the court – when he’s bothered to try.
otis29 - January 3, 2012
Please man. Don't give me that 'embarassing yourself' bullshit.
Is he really the 4th best rebounder in the league, or just currently 4th in rebounding after… what less than 10 games?
He gives no effort.
Do you not understand what we are upset about?
You have blinders on apparently.
Ichiban - January 3, 2012
I guess we can all use small sample sizes
I’ve decided that we are better without DeMarcus based on the game the other night.
otis29 - January 3, 2012
Don't think your sample is small enough.
iashwash - January 3, 2012
MY SAMPLE IS PLENTY SMALL ENOUGH
Wait…what???
otis29 - January 3, 2012

iashwash - January 3, 2012
Hey Peaches
Didn’t know you had an account on this blog.

SharkKings49 - January 3, 2012
Doubtful
otis29 - January 3, 2012
Nah it looks like he's playing hard, but he's all wrapped up in his head, not in his feet.

DiegoKing - January 3, 2012
shame shame shame shame
aizen07 - January 3, 2012
Hate to say it...
but the team needs to either trade Cousins or fire Westy soon… Not sure any of us can go through another season like this….
Problem is, they both are playing/coaching like hell…
Ryan J - January 3, 2012
And I meant "soon" as in "sooner rather then later"...
and not wait until after the season is lost (in February)…
Ryan J - January 3, 2012
Get rid of them both
otis29 - January 3, 2012
You guys are crazy
No way I’d trade Cousins…no way in hell.
Noble_Bloodlines - January 3, 2012
Why not?
Ichiban - January 3, 2012
I wouldn't either
His attitude and demeanor are just annoying right now.
otis29 - January 3, 2012
I hate to say it as well. Believe me.
Ichiban - January 3, 2012
Both!!
SharkKings49 - January 3, 2012
Game plan
Fire Westphal, trade Cousins for Greg Monroe plus draft pick, draft Anthony Davis. #winning
CrimeD - January 3, 2012
Good thing Cousins won't be our future big man
We’re on our way to Anthony Davis
SharkKings49 - January 3, 2012
Coming back from a disaster 1st period, almost tied the game at recess.
Team goes in to listen to Westfail at halftime, and proceeds to get destroyed in the 3rd period.
It’s not hard to see where the main problem is.
SierraSpartan - January 3, 2012
bingo.
DiegoKing - January 3, 2012
Cousins just looks so bad
totally demoralized
prowseinthehouse - January 3, 2012
Appears so.
Slam_Dunk - January 3, 2012
Trade Cousins?
As awful as he looks hes doing a better job then Tyreke and MT23 currently.
ridingthebench - January 3, 2012
The whole team looks like shit.
ridingthebench - January 3, 2012
Given all that has happened, I wouldn't judge Cousins by this game tonight.
Can you really blame him for playing poorly?
Slam_Dunk - January 3, 2012
If I judge him by the rest of the season
He doesn’t look much better.
otis29 - January 3, 2012
oh, waaaaaaa
he needs to grow the fk up…
Ryan J - January 3, 2012
not there
2001nbachampions - January 3, 2012 via iPhone app
god jimmer cant guard anyone
sacman - January 3, 2012
He may be roughly the size of a hand puppet
but I love Isaiah’s game. Absolutely fearless. Also, really missing a shot blocker right about now.
Mike Garza - January 3, 2012
Yea, balls of steel
kman949 - January 3, 2012
where the hell is tyreke or thornton?!
Portland's Cowboy fan - January 3, 2012
PW might be conceding because of the b2b2b thing.
Saving their energy for Denver tomorrow.
Wonderchild - January 3, 2012
how about they try to actually win this game before worrying about tomorrow?
Portland's Cowboy fan - January 3, 2012
The way this team is playing
Thats kind of a hard thing to do
raiderking21 - January 3, 2012
People calling for Cousins to be traded
Are just being purely illogical and over-reactive. You don’t trade a sophomore after a bad start to the season. One who is the 4th best rebounder in the league, by the way.
omikron - January 3, 2012
Agreed.
ridingthebench - January 3, 2012
Agreed.
Slam_Dunk - January 3, 2012
Illogical!?
“Bad start”!?
You honestly don’t understand where someone would be coming from on this issue!?
Ichiban - January 3, 2012
Ziller keeps mentioning this as well
Who gives a crap is he’s (currently) the 4th best rebounder in the league. His efficiency is laughable, he has absolutely no game awareness, and his attitude is crap. Being the 4th best rebounder trumps all this?
CrimeD - January 3, 2012
Don't forget most of his rebounds are his own misses
raiderking21 - January 3, 2012
Oh well if Ziller mentioned it then it MUST be true.
ridingthebench - January 3, 2012
Stats back up his lack of efficiency
You can also see he misses alot of easy shots
raiderking21 - January 3, 2012
It is also kind of hard to make “easy” shots when the whole team collapses on your center because your starting PG SG SF and PF can’t make “easy” open shots. It works both ways. Utter failure from the whole team.
ridingthebench - January 3, 2012
Highest usage rate makes him the most glaring though
raiderking21 - January 3, 2012
They don't even need to collapse on him
He really struggles to convert relatively easy opportunities down low.
otis29 - January 3, 2012
In regards to Ziller mentioning this
I was saying that Ziller keeps mentioning the rebounding rate as some sort of proof that Cousins is good. Not what I said in the post.
CrimeD - January 3, 2012
The whole teams efficiency is shit, Coincidence?
ridingthebench - January 3, 2012
Cousins has the highest usage rate
So he’s currently the biggest culprit.
otis29 - January 3, 2012
I'm not saying we should def trade him
But he is not a good player right now
CrimeD - January 3, 2012
Aww shucks
I thought we drafted an instant superstar at the age of 21. I mean, he is all grown up, he can’t possibly have growing pains!!!
omikron - January 3, 2012
Lots of sucky 28 year olds were sucky at 21
He could go either way, right now I’m not overly optimistic on his future.
otis29 - January 3, 2012
Welcome to a game thread
First time?
otis29 - January 3, 2012
By the way
You keep spouting about him being the “4th best rebounder”. Means nothing at this point.
otis29 - January 3, 2012
Exactly.
Ichiban - January 3, 2012
It doesn't mean nothing.
It means he’s the 4th best rebounder.
iashwash - January 3, 2012
Sorry Team
Watching Cousins slumping around and Evans bricking shots makes me sick Jimmer ended up with sorry group. I know he has his weaknesses but I’ll bet he didn’t believe his NBA experience was with such a group of misfits. This team stinks, really stinks, they are a 15 to 20 win team at best.
bankers hours - January 3, 2012
To be honest Jimmer hasn't helped too much either
raiderking21 - January 3, 2012
Maybe Jimmer also asks for trade
kman949 - January 3, 2012
It was like watching a bunch of 8th graders playing against college kids tonight.
DiegoKing - January 3, 2012
I don't know how much more I can take
this is shaping up to take the crown of the worst season ever if this keeps up
prowseinthehouse - January 3, 2012
isiah has some tyreke in him
does not like to pass
sacman - January 3, 2012
Except for that assist he just got.
iashwash - January 3, 2012
fire Westphal tonight
OKO - January 3, 2012
after this timout!
DiegoKing - January 3, 2012
Petrie needs to walk to the bench and grab Westphal by the throat and drag him off the court
Ninja King - January 3, 2012
If the Maloofs were there I would hope Petrie would do them that way too.
DiegoKing - January 3, 2012
We'd need someone to wake him up first.
otis29 - January 3, 2012
Ice Water or Baseball Bat?
iashwash - January 3, 2012
Ice water to wake him up 1st
Then baseball bat
Ninja King - January 3, 2012
And trade Cousins before the post game interviews
SharkKings49 - January 3, 2012
That possession Highligts Demarcus' disinterest
brianspider - January 3, 2012

Would anybody else bet excited to see something as basic as a high pick and roll on this offense?!
ahgraham - January 3, 2012
I bet PW would be excited,
of course, he might also be mad because that’s not what he taught this kids to run in his imaginary offense.
elfboy_ - January 3, 2012
Jimmer and IT are the only ones that care about the team apparently
$KingsElite$ - January 3, 2012
Nope. they care about their careers and trying to compete.
If they cared about this team, they would lock PW & DMC in a broom closet and get on with the business of trying to play some actual basketball.
elfboy_ - January 3, 2012
IF cuz's gets kicked off the teams
at least Jimmer’s used to it from his BYU days..
feelgood - January 3, 2012

Then again it’s like that south park episode, Giant Douche vs. Turd Sandwich…
ahgraham - January 3, 2012
Did you miss Mussleman?
How about when Theus gave Quince Douby the game winning shot like 3 times in a row when he was sitting the whole game?
SharkKings49 - January 3, 2012

Cousins can't score for life
everybody says he scores double digits…he takes 13 shots to make 13 points…it’s annoying as hell when he does gay reverse layups instead of just slamming it in.
shoopuhman - January 3, 2012
Freaking ridiculous. Why does this team make me want to cry
CousinsEvansDUO - January 3, 2012
Fire Westphal
Before he does any more damage..
PLEASE!
rainingbuckets - January 3, 2012
To everybody calling for Cousins to be traded
Lets trade Tyreke too. And Thornton. They are having bad games, so they MUST be traded, right? Tyreke especially isn’t having the best start to the season. Lets tear it all down since 21 and 22 year olds are being inconsistent.
I need to take a break from this website soon. You guys are embarrassing yourselves.
omikron - January 3, 2012
You don't know why some are saying trade Cousins right?
raiderking21 - January 3, 2012
Doesn't understand at all.
Ichiban - January 3, 2012
Look, I understand he is immature and his inefficiency is terrible right now
But we drafted him knowing this would be the problem. That is the only reason he fell to the 5th pick. And if we trade him, at his point of lowest value, we’re going to be screwed. The entire team is volatile right now, there are serious chemistry issues. But some of you need to be logical for a second and think of the big picture.
Trade Cousins now at his lowest value and destroy our franchise’s future? Sounds fun.
Westphal is obviously on the way out, we need to wait and see if a new coach can reach out to Cousins. If he can’t, then you gotta trade Cousins. But from everything written, Westphal has been an asshole to Cousins (and yes, Cousins is guilty of being immature too), but you need to understand why he must be disgruntled.
omikron - January 3, 2012
If a new coach with pedigree came in and said Cousins needs to go
I’m fine with it. That is about it though.
wallywagon11 - January 3, 2012
Those two Cousins-bashers are just so disillusioned right now
This is a team, no, a franchise that is terrible from the top to the bottom. We need new owners, we need a GM with a spine, and we need a coach who knows what he is doing. We’ve got a young, talented team that is ready to be molded one way or another. They can either become great, or absolutely horrible. We know which way they are moving now.
omikron - January 3, 2012
You get way too worked up about what you see in a game thread
Logic is out the window and venting or irrational cheering is the order of the day.
If you want to actually debate the subject in a logical manner, the game thread’s not really the best place to do it IMO.
otis29 - January 3, 2012
yup
wallywagon11 - January 3, 2012
Yeah thats right.
Ichiban - January 3, 2012
lol
omikron - January 3, 2012

Ichiban - January 3, 2012
I'm not saying we should trade Cousins
I’m just saying it didn’t look like you understood where people were coming from

Selfish team
This is the worst passing team I’ve ever seen. Green and Outlaw are launching threes with Jimmer stannding wide open one pass away. This team shares the ball more poorly than any team I’ve ever seen. Does anyone on this team know what their teammates strenghts and weaknesses are. Sorry sorry group,
bankers hours - January 3, 2012
you like jimmer huh
Kingstime - January 3, 2012
I think he's a BYU fan
raiderking21 - January 3, 2012
Replace the word "Jimmer" with almost any other teammate and it's still true
Mr. Rockie - January 3, 2012
Jimmer's not without fault either
Which is what we are thinking
raiderking21 - January 3, 2012
fire westphal?
DiegoKing - January 3, 2012
You must not have seen the Bibby/Martin backcourt
SharkKings49 - January 3, 2012
Outlaw is my new Luther Head
HeuristicLineup - January 3, 2012
Am I crazy in thinking...
Evans and DMC for Dwight Howard (provided he agrees to a sign and trade at the seasons end) and Jameer Nelson
I’d go to more games and I think we would be better, Thorton and Evans are the same player so we’d get a real point guard and a superstar.
ahgraham - January 3, 2012
Why would Dwight reup here?
To play with Jimmer?
iashwash - January 3, 2012
no re-up
Just rent him… then sign and trade him at the end of season
ahgraham - January 3, 2012
bro... would you like to retract your statements?
iashwash - January 3, 2012
nope
I think it’d be worth it.
ahgraham - January 3, 2012
...
okay.
iashwash - January 3, 2012
LOL
Solid logic
HeuristicLineup - January 3, 2012
Yes. You are bat shit insane for thinking this
Mike Garza - January 3, 2012
I'd love to hear how you think Jameer Nelson is a real point guard....
LOL
HeuristicLineup - January 3, 2012
I am sure you can do that in your NBA2k12 franchise mode if you want
wallywagon11 - January 3, 2012
If you override the trades...
SharkKings49 - January 3, 2012
Nah
I’m 5-1 so far in 2k12 with this team, hehe
raiderking21 - January 3, 2012
Untapped Potential Jimmer!
iashwash - January 3, 2012
Jimmer's averaging 12 points off the bench for me
At 60% 3’s
raiderking21 - January 3, 2012
You're clearly not using him to his full potential!
Stop freezing him out of the offense, man! FIRE RAIDERKING21!
Mike Garza - January 3, 2012
Well he is averaging 5 assists
I’m usually the best offensive team in 2k12 no matter what team I use haha
raiderking21 - January 3, 2012
Cousins
trade value is destroyed, in a desperate attempt for Westphal to gain control of his team that he never had. Maybe before this whole situation. But also 0.00 percent chance Howard would resign here
OKO - January 3, 2012
Westphal can't depend on a make-believe trade to save his job
he needs wins now.
iashwash - January 3, 2012
no resign
He wouldn’t stay here but we sign and trade him to Nets, Lakers, etc.
ahgraham - January 3, 2012
For what? Brook Lopez's stress fracture? Bynum's knee problems?
Why not just straight for those straight up?
iashwash - January 3, 2012
*trade for those
iashwash - January 3, 2012
because
for a year when Sac needs the stage to build an area and stay in Sac we would be relevant…
ahgraham - January 3, 2012
arena*
ahgraham - January 3, 2012
FACEPALM.GIF GOES HERE
Mike Garza - January 3, 2012
I'd just skip the middle man and trade Cousins straight up for Bynum
Of course, the Lakers would laugh their asses off.
otis29 - January 3, 2012
why jimmer?!
shoot it!!! don’t dribble drive it
aizen07 - January 3, 2012
So Sam Young is the winning Grizzly to blow up on us
SharkKings49 - January 3, 2012
With that
I bid you all good night
A Night At The Arco - January 3, 2012
Worse than Knicks game
kman949 - January 3, 2012
I take it you didn't see the Knicks game
HeuristicLineup - January 3, 2012
Still five minutes to go
kman949 - January 3, 2012
The minute distribution in tonights game is rediculous.
smoosh - January 3, 2012
If I were a player on this team, I'd want to get a trade.
Slam_Dunk - January 3, 2012
I wish they would trade me
SharkKings49 - January 3, 2012
has anyone suggested we fire Westphal yet?
cuz we should do that
jordog2323 - January 3, 2012
this team should not be this bad
Bambooozled - January 3, 2012 via mobile
The broncos have a better passing game than us.........
X_47 - January 3, 2012
Glad that this game didn't win
Fan Night. It is embarrassing
aizen07 - January 3, 2012
fire westphal
If we put early to start and start of 3rd we wouldn’t be losing. I’m so sick of westphal.
jayzfelon - January 3, 2012 via mobile
No matter how we got to this point right now
Westphal has to go. Any competent front office would see that the team needs a new coach. We have time to decide Cousins’ fate. But now, Westphal HAS to be fired. No other option.
CrimeD - January 3, 2012
This
ridingthebench - January 3, 2012
fire westphal!!!
aizen07 - January 3, 2012
Come on light up jimmer from the 3 range. WE CAN WIN!!!!
CousinsEvansDUO - January 3, 2012
Jimmer apparently cares more about passing now than shooting...
Mr. Rockie - January 3, 2012
I heard he's been working on his passing range.
swoosh91 - January 3, 2012
no way
DiegoKing - January 3, 2012
Maybe PW lost on purpose to make Cousins look bad
PW is crazy/stupid enough to do anything
SharkKings49 - January 3, 2012
Maybe the team has lost on purpose to make Westphal look bad.
Slam_Dunk - January 3, 2012
Then they all need to go
otis29 - January 3, 2012
Maybe they see what a crappy coach he is and want a change.
Slam_Dunk - January 3, 2012
Players dont have the right to make that decision.
Wonderchild - January 3, 2012
There is power in numbers and with no individual accountability.
Could be they are just pissed off.
Slam_Dunk - January 3, 2012
So what?
otis29 - January 3, 2012
If Westphal gets fired, they get someone else to coach them.
Slam_Dunk - January 3, 2012
This is a silly conversation
There’s nothing redeeming on the coach quitting on his players, nor the players quitting on their coach. It’s unprofessional douchebaggery, no matter how you slice it.
otis29 - January 3, 2012
Just saying, Otis.
Slam_Dunk - January 3, 2012
Just see how the mutiny turned out in Detroit last year. Not good
They just wound up wasting the season.
Wonderchild - January 3, 2012
So they'd lose on purpose?
Sounds like a great group of guys to build your future with.
otis29 - January 3, 2012
Amnesty this franchise.
DiegoKing - January 3, 2012
New Orleans called first dibs
CrimeD - January 3, 2012
pretty sure New Orleans already got amnestied
Wonderchild - January 3, 2012
This
is actually my mother’s theory. No joke.
Evan A - January 3, 2012
What excuse is PW going to make tonight?
Slam_Dunk - January 3, 2012
Spotlight shining off too many empty seats
made it hard to coach.
elfboy_ - January 3, 2012
Haha
Yahoo sports is calling the score 103-80 the FINAL
JediLeroy - January 3, 2012
mercy rule
SharkKings49 - January 3, 2012
The players will never play consistently
If this coach PAUL WESTPHAL will stay with this team. How can a player be hot if he will not be given enough minutes. And on a bad note, he gives more minutes to wrong players.
Paul Westphal is a big ***hole.. xD
mjalmighty - January 3, 2012
Thompson just
drunken mastered that
AnkleMan - January 3, 2012
Is that 3 offensive fouls for Thompson?
CrimeD - January 3, 2012
Ugh, why is it when JT makes a mistake he looks SO MUCH WORSE at it than anyone else?
Mike Garza - January 3, 2012
Its the awkward way he moves
raiderking21 - January 3, 2012
When the sum of its parts are better than the whole,
where does the blame lie?
elfboy_ - January 3, 2012
Paul Westphal
DiegoKing - January 3, 2012
Does anyone else notice
How we often dribble down the court like we’re on a fast break when in reality we’re not?
feelgood - January 3, 2012
petrie's number?
So I can scream and say fire westphal!!! He is ruining the chemistry of this team.
jayzfelon - January 3, 2012 via mobile
NICE SHOT OUTLAW!
HeuristicLineup - January 3, 2012
so we have 4-5 SFs still, and nobody thats any good
OKO - January 3, 2012
Haha
Napear just laughed at that shot by Outlaw
CrimeD - January 3, 2012
I am sooooo looking forward to Westphal's comments after the game.
ridingthebench - January 3, 2012
Goddamn, im starting to feel everyones Westphal hate
he’s just standing there hiding behind his new beard… i almost feel like he wants us to lose just to prove that our players are shitty and its not his fault
AnkleMan - January 3, 2012
Got to admit...
Starting to lose my “Wait until Westphal’s contract expires” mento…
HeuristicLineup - January 3, 2012
I lost it after the Knicks game
SharkKings49 - January 3, 2012
it feels like Westphal vs players now
and once that sentiment spreads, even in fans, it starts to sorta become true
AnkleMan - January 3, 2012
You guys want to put up a billboard that says: FIRE WESTPHAL! ?
I worked for broncos fans. sort of………
X_47 - January 3, 2012
Just spray paint it on all the buildings around Sac.
Much cheaper.
DiegoKing - January 3, 2012
I'd pitch in for a billboard...
omikron - January 3, 2012
That would be awesome!
Slam_Dunk - January 3, 2012
New goal for this game...
Jimmer gets 20!
HeuristicLineup - January 3, 2012
That Gasol guy is something special
Reke_Havoc13 - January 3, 2012
they should start isiah...or jimmer...or both...or NOT salmons
feelgood - January 3, 2012
Seriously
Dirkula - January 3, 2012
We are making a run early 4th quarter
And yet no signs of Thornton and Evans coming back?
What the heck is wrong with this Westphal coach?
Too much EGO kills you.
mjalmighty - January 3, 2012
A run early 4th quarter?
The games almost over
raiderking21 - January 3, 2012
We we're down by just 16 early 4th and that is very manageable.
mjalmighty - January 3, 2012
He meant to say "The Runs"
Meaning we look like shit.
X_47 - January 3, 2012
I say start Thomas
with Thornton, Reke at 3, Hayes, Cousins—-or Hickson, Hayes
depending on DMc’s mood that day.
VirginiaBlue - January 3, 2012
PW may agree with that
kman949 - January 3, 2012
Isiah and Jimmer
If that were the Kings starting backcourt, would you still watch?
I would more likely watch even more.
Hit4TheCycle - January 3, 2012
kind of funny
after we (myself) included complained about them being in together against Portland
wallywagon11 - January 3, 2012
I don't know if I want to see them together a lot
But I like both of them.
otis29 - January 3, 2012
Hell yes!
I can remember a stint where it was Randy Brown and Jim Les. How bad could it be!?
Dirkula - January 3, 2012
yes, they keep scoring, but the point differential stays the same
Wonderchild - January 3, 2012
In spite of everything else going on
Kudos to Isaiah and Jimmer for doing their best to make this respectable.
jveezy - January 3, 2012
Their effort was respectable, the game, not so much.
DiegoKing - January 3, 2012
Fire Theus!
Fairfield1466 - January 3, 2012
promote keith smart as a coach and petrie if you reading this fire westphal as soon as this game is over
jayzfelon - January 3, 2012 via mobile
So should we get Davis, Drummond, or Barns?
SharkKings49 - January 3, 2012
Barnes
Then amnesty salmons.
Lotusprime - January 3, 2012 via mobile
No Barnes!
I’m surprised he is still in the league. He has to be the dirtiest, (not in a good way), player out there. I have lost all my respect for that guy after seeing the crap he pulls.
Dirkula - January 3, 2012
He means Harrison Barnes
Wonderchild - January 3, 2012
Not matt
Harrison we were talking about the draft ;)
Lotusprime - January 3, 2012 via mobile
It is pretty sad you are talking about the draft 6 games into the season...
Wonderchild - January 3, 2012
I could've started talking about the draft after the first game
I love the draft.
Lotusprime - January 3, 2012 via mobile

Mike Garza - January 3, 2012

I need me a T-shirt that says “Being a Sacramento Kings fan is the hardest thing I’ve done in my life”. Sheesh. I love the Kings but I’ve never seen anything like this.
Gravymonkey - January 3, 2012
It’s actually become commonplace the last few years.
Ichiban - January 3, 2012
Playoffs? I just wish we can win a game!
Fairfield1466 - January 3, 2012
Because I want to know more of what Jesus felt like, I've decided to become a Kings and Cubs fan
feelgood - January 3, 2012
I'd like to see Jimmer play more like Isaiah
That is how he usually plays when he’s not overthinking it. The passing is nice, though. IT and Jimmer would be a good backcourt, at least in college. Not sure if they could both coexist in the NBA.
Mr. Rockie - January 3, 2012
They're coexisting well enough right now.
jveezy - January 3, 2012
It's hard to win on the road in the NBA.
Lotusprime - January 3, 2012 via mobile
I know our defense is absolutely pathetic right now
But teams really are on fire against us so far this year. Just draining jumpers.
CrimeD - January 3, 2012
Confidence
Every team comes in with their coach telling that they can score so easily against this team while PW doesn’t say that. Then when the other team misses their confidence doesn’t go down, but when the kings miss it confidence goes down the drain.
ThomasGQ - January 3, 2012 via iPhone app
Jimmer unleashed!
kman949 - January 3, 2012
I just popped a Jimmer
CrimeD - January 3, 2012
Just goes to show: You can look good on paper
and still have no offense, no transition defense, and no interior defense—very little perimeter defense. Basically nothing.
But Isiah is a badass.
VirginiaBlue - January 3, 2012
Jerry is going crazy
kwill - January 3, 2012
oh do tell
wallywagon11 - January 3, 2012
Were you not listening?
prowseinthehouse - January 3, 2012
Jerry said our Isaiah T. is better than the original
He was having fun because the game is not.
kwill - January 3, 2012
Garcia
is another one of our ‘good shooters’ that never makes an open shot
OKO - January 3, 2012
His career numbers say different
otis29 - January 3, 2012
He has off games too
He made them against NO. He is a good career shooter
raiderking21 - January 3, 2012
How could a coach keep his job after a pitiful performance like this?
He did a horrible job tonight. He is just waiting to get fired at this point, so lets not disappoint him, Petrie.
DiegoKing - January 3, 2012
This blowout loss is a blessing
Maybe this will light a fire under some Maloof ass to get some major changes in place.
ridingthebench - January 3, 2012
maloofs ass isnt capable of having a fire lit under it
unless its by money or something…. ed hardy shirts
AnkleMan - January 3, 2012
light that 2% fire
Wonderchild - January 3, 2012
So I guess if a team gets blown out before they play us...
…be prepared for them to do the same to us.

Lets go Rockets!

good ending to that game
wallywagon11 - January 3, 2012
not over yet but good
wallywagon11 - January 3, 2012
wow
ball don’t lie!
wallywagon11 - January 3, 2012
Did that Bulls announcer just say "Drive home safely, Beep, Beep"??
Wonderchild - January 3, 2012
lol yup
iashwash - January 3, 2012
One positive from the game
Maybe Jimmer has built a little more confidence.
CrimeD - January 3, 2012
Good news...
We get to relive this all over again tomorrow!!
HeuristicLineup - January 3, 2012
TRADE EVERYONE!!!
Except Jimmer
SharkKings49 - January 3, 2012

Enjoyed that game.

I think college basketball is much bigger there, isn’t it?

I'm sure fishing is pretty big there.

Was Westphal waving goodbye to his team or the Grizzlies?
ridingthebench - January 3, 2012
lol, Grizz announcers
apparantly Memphis had a 17 point first half and Sacramento had a 30+ point 3rd quarter
wallywagon11 - January 3, 2012
The bench had more minutes than the starters
smoosh - January 3, 2012
Our starters suck so the bench got time
prowseinthehouse - January 3, 2012
It was for "disciplinary" reasons
HeuristicLineup - January 3, 2012

this felt like Thorntons first true “dissapearing act”

Our best player tonight:
Isaiah Thomas.

so i’m going to keep my hopes up a bit, i’ll be excited when tomorow’s game is coming up no doubt

Or you may be getting used to watching Kings basketball!
kman949 - January 3, 2012
Paging Mr. Thornton...paging Mr. Thornton
otis29 - January 3, 2012
No kidding!
He is my favorite player, and I am starting to question why. He has been about as inconsistent this year as anybody. I’m hoping its just due to this horrendous offense.
Dirkula - January 3, 2012
He has the mentality like he needs to do everything...
Not a good component to winning basketball there.
Wonderchild - January 3, 2012
Are we still the 8th seed????
otis29 - January 3, 2012
No but Cusins is still the 4th best rebounder in US history.

He could barely remember Isiah’s name and the went with “whoever else was out there”. Classic!
Dirkula - January 3, 2012
Im hella depressed about our team bros.
We are terrible. Reke looks like a chicken with his damn head cut off. Thornton was non existent and is a chucker. Cousins has regressed since last year, and quite frankly looks awful… as has Donte. Hickson and Thompson are decent but almost the exact same player. Hayes is a decent third big on a contender, nothing else. Salmons & Outlaw – see Hickson & JT. Jimmer plays atrocious D and isn’t athletic enough to play the 1, IT is Jeter 2.0. The sole bright spot = Whiteside. Fuck.
brobro - January 3, 2012
Westphal:
“We just had a hard time shooting the ball tonight.”
That’s an understatement.
Slam_Dunk - January 3, 2012
he's so irresponsible
Jimmered. - January 3, 2012
He also said: "Some nights are going to be like this" Like about 60 nights (losses) or so , maybe less this year with the short season.
LagunaKing - January 3, 2012
You know who played too many minutes tonight?
Cousins.
smoosh - January 3, 2012
Wound is still fresh apparently
He seemed a bit “distant” tonight.
otis29 - January 3, 2012
He has looked terrible this year.

haha
smoosh - January 3, 2012
Don't understand the minutes distribution tonight...
The bench played a lot, starters, not so much. PW didn’t even try — could have sent the starters back in for a final run.
dinnertim - January 3, 2012
I dont think the starters played at all in the 4th
smoosh - January 3, 2012
Kept waiting to see Evans, Hayes, Thornton check in
No dice, it was a 13 point game I think with lots of time left after Jimmer hit a 3, could have tried to make a game of it…..
dinnertim - January 3, 2012
Maybe that's why he didn't put them back in
and kill the run
prowseinthehouse - January 3, 2012

Claims it was because the second string was playing better and it allows the starters rest for tomorrow.
Dirkula - January 3, 2012
Amen to that
sj60615 - January 3, 2012
Yeah
the bench sure carried us through this one!
smoosh - January 4, 2012
he sent Salmons in with 3 minutes left in the 2nd half. But why?
So he can close out the half cold as ice? Makes no sense to me. Either put him in with 7-8 minutes left minimum or not at all, unless there is a personal foul issue.
ridingthebench - January 3, 2012
That is odd. Defies logic.
Slam_Dunk - January 3, 2012
Paul Westphal is excellent at defying logic
He’s just not good at proving logic wrong
Ninja King - January 3, 2012
With that said
I wouldn’t have put Salmons in at any time.
Ninja King - January 3, 2012
PW minutes explanation
"(I did it) for two reasons," Kings coach Paul Westphal said of playing the bench. "One is that we had a lot of offensive firepower on the floor with Jimmer and Isaiah and (Francisco Garcia). We were able to spread to floor and have a lot of 3-point shooting and get penetration. I thought the best chance to get back in the game was to crack open a few steals and get some threes.
"If that did happen, we would have our starters fresh for the last 5 or 6 minutes. If it didn’t happen, they would be rested for dinner."
Kingstime - January 3, 2012
ok shit....
this game sucked, if we lose to denver this incredibly badly, i’ll officially start my freak out
AnkleMan - January 3, 2012

How about running the pick and roll offense with shooters spread around the perimeter all game….not just in garbage time.
Kingstime - January 3, 2012
Because IT did that
not PW
prowseinthehouse - January 3, 2012
PW
took credit for the strategy in post game comments.
Kingstime - January 3, 2012
Oh
so he had “whatshisname” run the pick and “that other dude” drive the lane?
prowseinthehouse - January 3, 2012
He's the Lou Abbott of the NBA
otis29 - January 3, 2012
This team is officially checked out
Everyone is to blame. Coaches, players, management, owners. This shit sucks
prowseinthehouse - January 3, 2012
No, this one is on Slamson. He didn't even show up tonight.
omikron - January 3, 2012
I heard he requested a trade to the sahara
prowseinthehouse - January 3, 2012
I really don't think we are "checked out"
I think we are just bad.
brobro - January 3, 2012
Nobody was trying (rookies excepted)
the coach didn’t even remember who was on the floor. I think both bad and checked out
prowseinthehouse - January 3, 2012
I give these guys the benefit of the doubt when it comes to "hustle",
as they are paid millions to do so. I really just think the team is less talented this year than we were last year. And we were pretty disparaged in the talent department last year.
brobro - January 3, 2012
I would love to think getting paid millions would motivate guys to hustle their hearts out
but there are hundreds of example to the opposite
prowseinthehouse - January 3, 2012
With the way things are going the fans will start to check out.
Slam_Dunk - January 3, 2012
I am sick, sick, sick.
I’m afraid this team is no better than last years, maybe worse. Plus they all have their heads on the floor. Morale low, coach poor, etc. etc
Bill2 - January 3, 2012
Our winning percentage is a little better
and it’s against 6(last year) play off teams. I’d say that’s better, however… Our bad, just looks soooooo bad
HeuristicLineup - January 3, 2012
What killed us was that 3rd quarter
Stretch where Hickson was fouled on the dunk but we inbounded missed a shot.
Gasol flopped and got an and-1 over Hayes
Hayes got another and 1 foul on Conley
And I think there was one more and 1 for the grizzlies after that.
Westphal shouldve called a time out when they made the 1st and one. Might have kept this game close
rekehavoc13jimmer7 - January 3, 2012 via mobile
Yeap.
3 and-1’s in a row.
DTG13 - January 3, 2012
Tyreke never tries to fight through screens.
Pick and Rolls kills us.
ridingthebench - January 3, 2012
I understand that being a mistake every now and then
But on a gamely basis? That is poor coaching.
ridingthebench - January 3, 2012
so do
pin downs, flex screens, etc etc
Kingstime - January 3, 2012
Sounds like I missed a good game.
nbrans - January 3, 2012
Yea, if you like the Grizz
kman949 - January 3, 2012
I'm out.
Time to sit in my shower in the fetal position while washing myself slowly.
DTG13 - January 3, 2012
G'night y'all!
DTG13 - January 3, 2012
Kevin Martin has put on some muscle
Still probably too soft
HeuristicLineup - January 3, 2012
Last one.
Smokescreen!!!
DTG13 - January 3, 2012
Put in Jimmer and Isaiah rotating as point guards
That might help the distributing problems. Isaiah looks more like he wants to shoot than pass, though. Surprisingly, Jimmer doesn’t. IT can definitely ball, though.
Mr. Rockie - January 3, 2012
I honestly think Jimmer could do 18-20 pts every night (and Isiah too) if he felt the leadership was needed or that he was allowed to take it.
He started off shooting badly, and recovered. That was common of him in college. He’s a high volume shooter, but when he’s free to shoot high volumes, his percentage goes up and he produces. Before this game, I don’t feel like he had the freedom to shoot, so his percentage was usually low and he didn’t score too much. Isiah seems to thrive when he’s given more freedom as well. Jimmer’s D, on the other hand, more of a “long-term” project.
feelgood - January 3, 2012
Imagine if this team was Anaheim's first impression of the Kings
That would have been a complete disaster and hilarious at the same time. This is also the reason the Kings should thank their luck stars they’re in Sacramento. A season like this (at least the start) will not change the dedication that the fans have for the team.
CrimeD - January 3, 2012
Well this, and the fact that they'd probably be named "The Anaheim Kings of Sacramento in L.A."
Which would also ruin any credibility they may have had
feelgood - January 3, 2012
This gave me a good chuckle
Ninja King - January 3, 2012
If the Maloofs ended up in Anaheim, they would have spent more money for players.
Slam_Dunk - January 3, 2012
or here with a new arena
until they are out of Arco though, they won’t
wallywagon11 - January 3, 2012
How do you watch the postgame interview? I wana see what westphal says.
CousinsEvansDUO - January 3, 2012
I watch them with the sound down and my eyes closed
section214 - January 3, 2012
That's wise.
Slam_Dunk - January 3, 2012
but where?
CousinsEvansDUO - January 3, 2012
It's already over. You missed nothing.
