This is getting ugly
Does anyone else think that "The Fan" sounds even LESS local than KHTK?

Why did they need to change it?

Yup. Sounds terrible.

Audio is awful.

John Salmons

Showing signs of intelligent life

He must have spawned.
When Salmon spawn, they die.

Serious. It’s biology.

He needs to go to the rim more
I haven't seen another team this year have their bigs run at him at the 3 point line though
it's as if they didn't scout the Kings
Jimmer Sucks
bad game for him and looks like a bad match up
Hater be hatin ..... Hilarious
it is

but honestly, wouldn;t mind seeing someone else in there right now

Biedrin 5th

Foul Awesome work guys

Tyreke needs to attack.
Biedrins has 5 fouls already
the question: is that a good thing?
Lengthy shot blocker. It definitely opens up the driving lanes for Tyreke
Udoh is a pretty good shot blocker himself
Jimmer is playing like Jimmer of the first few weeks
Stop the TOs and we'd be up double digits
A Maloof sighting
Take a seat Beidnredensessednnes. 5th foul.
LOL at jackson keeping biedrins in the game with 4
Nice rebound JJ
Tyreke plays great defense up until the actual shot, when he's fouled twice already
Salmons

Has been guarding Monta Ellis most of the night

i think Peaches is smoking something.

He’s been guarding Wright

this

Reke has been on MOnta

Hickson's offense is frustrating to watch when it doesn't involve a putback or alley oop
ahh 3rd qt woes... not as bad as most 3rd qts tho
Why is peaches defending Salmons so much?
I like Hicksons activity on the glass
Not his freethrows.
Boy this is a classic Kings/Dubs game (of late)
Nat found a home, eh. Didn't know he was with GS
Reke's TOO confident in his shot

Get to the rim man

Reke's TOO confident in his shot

Get to the rim man

JJ catches better with one hand than when he tries with two...just doesnt make sense.
Reke has become a black hole this quarter

after moving the ball well in the first half.

the ghost of Stephen Jackson in Oracle
Nate found a home, eh. Didn't know he was with GS
Hickson

athletic FREAK

ChuckWagon to the line
now it's back-and-forth

try to retain the lead here Kings

There ya go, Chuck...a few surprise buckets a game is all we ask
nice pass by IT

Jimmer couldn’t do that

Isaiah did

Cool. Good for him. Hope to see more of it. This ain’t Isaiah versus Jimmer.

It is Jimmered vs Jimmer
In the battle of the bigger douche,

Jimmer jocks vs. Jimmer haters is too close to call.

Drawing a charge with his shoulder as it is = ONIONS
CHUCK drawing the charge
And Hayes draws the charge!!
I like that C on Hayes jersey
I do too.
Captain Hayes commandeering the Chuck Wagon
I don't like this lineup. No scoring
Nice drive by IT, can't get it to fall
hang in there, pull it out

Jimmer ‘inconsistent’ fredette. SMH.

Nate and Jimmer look like High School ballers out there.
In the 3 minutes Chuck was in there, he drew an and 1, a charge, and and got an offensive rebound.

That is how he is valuable to this team.

Grows on you fast
it's what doesn't show in the stat line.
Nat and Jimmer look like High School ballers out there.
Jimmer needs: a) headband b) blown-out fro or c) a neck collar zapper

for when he jumps with nowhere to go (bball 101)

He needs a week with Chris Andersen
1 reb and 3 assists away from a triple dub for Reke
Speaking of awful lineups.....
Smart was Smart

in come Evans and Cousins

worst all year
HAHAHAHA. What the hell?
LOL!!!!

How the hell??

Horrible by Donte
Is DMC seriously only capable of playing 27 of 38 minutes (thus far)?

Just curious.

Getting Luck

Right Now

Change this lineup now

Wow screw these damn blocks

Someone foul!!!
There that will get the subs in
call a damn TO and get subs in

holy shit

We're getting stops but not scoring

Wow garcia go slap yourself in the face

Garcia is soooo slow
C'mon, give that to the Cisco.
You can't have a lineup with neither Evans or Cousins on the floor.

Smart better learn that one quick.

what did GS see in Udoh to draft him 6th??
Our team makes shot blockers look good
Thank You Lord

DMC and Reke Back in

What the f**k is up with the officiating?
They gave us 4 chances and we dropped a goose egg on all 4 chances
Rush unconcious.
3-7 is "unconscious"?
Cisco was wide open on that last horrible poss
And the 4th quarter collapse starts . . .

NOW

Wow freaking get jimmer in HE WILL SHIT ALL OVER THE ZONE. FFS dont let the trash can warriors get a win.

DUO beast mode ON
Jimmer

Has had rough night trying to find much with Monta or Curry guarding him

Jimmer

Is lucky to get the minutes he’s getting

3RD Quarter

Issues rearing their ugly face to start the 4th

What is this shit?!
Why do we run so much offense through Salmons? WHY?
give me jimmer to take them out the zone!!
Yeah, Jimmer needs to be in. These linueps are mystifying.
This is where I wish we had MT23 as an option at the moment.
There are the guys we know
This is no time to give GS a lead.
What the fuck Cisco. Can you not catch a basketball?
Good god, get one out of Garcia and Salmons out!
We just bobble so many god damn passes

Ok thats it does anyone know a warrior fan I needa beat someone up.

I know plenty. I give permission to kick their ads til
Phone fail :(

I give permission to kick their ass until you smell shit

WTF Kings

Reke move the ball

Another shot clock violation smh
24 seconds, what a dumb team!
Our SFs are killing us
my god stop running the O through Hayes
This is the worst pro offense I've ever seen.

sims out.

Don't watch too many SF Giants games, eh?
We could use a bucket, guys.
we rule the shotclock management.

Fire Jerry Reynolds.

this team is being so stupid

Break Out

The Hard Liquor……

AWFUL OFFENSE
Things are falling apart... again

Who wants to cry with me………….does anyone want to join me with crying ? I dont wana cry alone. THIS IS UNREAL

this is fucking pathetic
A/T Ratio Update

Kings: 0.70
Warriors: 3.10

Shit is going downhill when Mcguire does things like that
here's the plan guys

lets score 0 this quarter

Holy crap!! We went down low!!
Are you freaking kidding me right now?!
we are

comin’ back!

Game over
Not even close
sometimes you can just sense it

easy to do with this team

This looks like Westphal is back.
Let's fire him again
Where you been hiding?
Ziller's basement

Sporadic internet access.

We need to calm down and run the O
No movement on offense like before
at least we didn't get shut out this quarter
and thus we see the evaporation of Sac-Town momentum
Finally one of our hail mary shots went in.
Dubs can't miss
Seriously what the hell

What happened to the offense?

3 likely double-doubles from the Kings

and practically nothing from anyone else.

Maybe a trip dub for Reke
Good time out. Settle the team down
lets keep Jimmer on the bench

he cant shoot or score

I hate it when the other team's wild shots seem to always fall.

When was the last time we could say that about the Kings?

Completely agree with you. We are missing stupid easy shots and these lucky kids are kidding lucky tough shots to go in………

Basketball

Is a game of run the warriors are on one right now they need to start scoring the basketball Spread the floor let Tyreke create

its called a period. use one.
You on yours?
I just had two of them. Just now.
nope
why you ask section?
it's just a joke bam

I don’t think he made sure it was you specifically

Didn't even notice
ok well it was a reply to my comment
it's a play of words, he does them to everyone
No one fla four. Run the O

We always panic and break out of the O when things go bad. Common with young teams.

The wrong people are shooting and the people that are shooting are shooting the WRONG shots. Garcia needs to stop taking stupid salmons like contest jumpers. cousins needs to stop getting doubled teamed when hes 20 feet out. They need to start giving tyreke more touches and run 3point plays for jimmer because wtf this guy will kill them but we aren’t even considering having jimmer shoot 3s.

feeeeed Cousins in the low post

Jesus chucking christ!

The Dubs have taken away the entry pass into the post
Biedrins gets into foul trouble, leaves, Udoh comes in

Warriors proceed to get their shit together

Jimmer

Is 2-6 Tonight with 2 T.O not the answer

He made some things happen

Only got 17 minutes. He should be in.

well Kings have got 6:23 to get their heads out of their asses and win this game.
too much sloppy play from the Kings

WOW 20 fucking blocks someone kill udoh and biedrans.

off of thompson?
Seems like Udoh has been an improvement to Biedrins late in this one
we're done. thanks pussies
JT Soft as hell WTF

I Cannot believe this I Cannot believe thisI Cannot believe thisI Cannot believe thisI Cannot believe thisI Cannot believe thisI Cannot believe thisI Cannot believe thisI Cannot believe thisI Cannot believe thisI Cannot believe thisI Cannot believe thisI Cannot believe this

You didn't watch the December game last season did you?
Seconded

How the hell did this happen?!

This team is playing like complete shit. Good job
dammit

Their only success in the last 7 minutes has been cousins in the low post…so do it freakin more!

Again, Biedrins in foul trouble a good thing or bad?

I think we have our answer

Dominic's revenge!
Kings Games: When average opponents play like giants.
you already know it homie
Thompson is getting MUGGED
looked that way to me, not GS announcers
If they keep jackin' 3s, Kings back in it.
We are still in it. Keep playing. Warriors been scoring some slop
The GS announces suck ass
I thought the extra days off would help this team

so much for that theory

it might behoove the Kings

to put a body on Rush

They have been running off screens for him all quarter
thanks #sincerity

because I’ve had to catch up on some work and I have the radio stream, I’ve not been able to watch the stream much at all tonight

So why didnt we get Rush?
Hey how about not zoning when the Dubs are shooting the lights out
Someone should stay on

Rush. Just sayin

you would think they would do that
and they got him for freakin Louis Amundson
It might help if we play some defense. But I'm no expert
hate how often i see wide open shots against us

Who the blooy fuck is rush. SOMEONE KILL THIS BITCH.

WHAT. THE. FUCK.

We could’ve won this game! Jesus christ this is some fucking bullshit

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE STAY ON RUSH
Who the hell is Brandon Rush?!
Kareem Rush's brother

another fucking random who lights on fire against the kings. Thats kings basketball for you making shitty ass players look good. I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS.

That's what probably what JP is asking too? LOL
The random 11th guy that always lights us up, thats who.
Moving screen
We had to have the scrub light up.
It's the Kings. You act suprised.
Goodnight

This team cant play 4 fucking qt i swear to god they just cant fucking do it pathetic

been that way since 2006-2007

Through 5 coaches, countless players. Franchise is in a funk…but we will stay strong and ride through this.

Screw this

Get Jerry Sloan on the phone, pronto, and offer him the job.
This team’s offense is a corpse.
These guys need guidance, plays, a system.
It is just so bad to watch.

No, that costs money
Can Jerry Sloan run the point and play sf??
lots of Kings fans lust after Jerry Sloan

as a Utahn, I should tell you, he is reticent to play young players and there will be ambivalence between him and the front office

LMFAO! I fucking hate this team
Jimmer is a liability out there. Seriously get him out
Uh, Tyreke has been guarding Rush

Hate when and where hating is appropriate.

Has not been a man D
It was on the last 3
And Tyreke has mainly been matched up on him
yeah it's all Jimmer's fault
How is he a liability!?

Its not his guy scoring. The liability is having him and IT in at the same time. I like how IT is not a liability, even though he is a -11, has missed 4 out of 4 shots and just sucks in general.

Rush making Mark Jackson look like a coach.

That’s hard.

Hand down man down!!

I have no idea what that means.

cannot believe jt left so early for the double team TWice !!
Goodnight everyone.

Different game same story

21-8 Run

So far in the 4th Quarter

Can’t believe there shitty ass bench is killing us. UNREAL

tyrekeleft rush have all of his threes

lazy d, same old shit

Nice idea

Tyreke shooting a 3 out of the timeout. Need a comeback, take your best 3 pointer off the court.

Smart, WTF? Psyched himself out or something?

this game was already over
Really?

6 point game now

my feed must be behind

but yeah have a hard time believing right now

derp

I mean my satellite

Another awesome point guard play by Tyreke!!
IT fakes the pass to Tyreke, waits for the defender to comitt, then makes that pass to Tyreke....sigh
What has IT done to deserve this playing time??????????????????????
Robinson Double-Dribble.
not the biggest fan of Smart's rotations tonight. Usuaully his strong point

NEW IDEA. Give it to tyreke and tell him to DRIVE.

Forget everyone else/

ugggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg
Gman getting rather frustrated at Tyreke holding

Please come back. Please please please please please.

rec'd 21 times
fuck. c'mon!! lets do this
This offense is too damn slow
Whew, Udoh out

Warriors are horrible they don’t deserve this win.

Like we're a top tier team
we better damnit

every year I argue with bay area friends that the Kings are better than the warriors.

They probably are by 1 or 2 players but can they put it together as a team?
Too much one on one play
FIGHT

Damn dont go down like a bunch of little puss girls

At least make it look respectful for Sportscenter
1 on 1 offense, 1 on 1 offense, repeat
ahh making a guy named ekpe look decent..
Cousins choking at the line
Choke sign
Insert Cousins choking pic
Soo was I watching a different game, or were we not leading for most of it?

THEN WHY THE FUCK IS THIS HAPPENING?

a horrendous 4th Quarter
keep missing the fts

If we make some 3s and don’t them score anymore we can win. We need total shutdown defense and killer offense. PLEASE WIN!

5 Point Game

It ain’t over yet….

Give em credit for not

quitting

!

Gives us hope!

But you have to give them credit for fucking up as always
THank goodness Udoh out
I talked a lot of shit about Udoh last year

paying the price

We need a 3 and 2 stops and we can tie and go to OT

how about a pair of 2s and a 1 pt loss?
and salmons to turn into an all-star
turrible

We should be up by ten against this warriors team. Garbage.

I'll take up by 1 and be cool with it
wtf?? that wasn't a fucking foul

after all the play thats been goin on

wow tyreke had JT wide open!
Wow we fucked that up
Jumpball

Still alive

Horrible Tyreke
Simple pick n roll
He had JT for a dunk
still in the game...haha
Make and miss here?
i saw make em both then steal then win
MAN REKE SHOULDVE PASSED THAT
i know...can you teach court vision?
DMC

For the love of god give us hope

too bad that wasnt a and 1
Cousins is getting so much better.
These missed FT's are looking big right now
marcus thornton

dont forget about this guy

kings curse. kings players always injured
Yes!

More hope

do we ever have a full line up?
yep...wouldn't have been huge to stop the bleeding tonight methinks
the only game in the NBA currently ongoing

let’s at least have OT

So I don't get it

IT hasn’t been playing that great, is shooting alright, Reke is going to end up playing close to 48 minutes and jimmer is sitting on the bench…. why?

This just seems like bad coaching considering our schedule…

Jimmer can't play D
uhhh

Reke isn’t exactly a lock down defender, and all I’m trying to get at is the fact that we should be resting one of our main players considering the fact that the schedule is so rigorous this year.

this is true

Jimmer never had to play defense in college and it’s costing him in these situations. I don’t want to critique Jimmer, living only an hour and a half away from where he became an All-American, but he has to shore up his skills on both sides of the ball

too cheap to get a real one
Especially in a situation where you really need a 3
didn't IT just hit 2 threes to get us in this spot?
I'm not saying to pull IT necessarily

I’m saying, why didn’t Jimmer get more minutes in Reke’s place during the 3rd or early 4th?

pretty sure he played quite a bit in the 3rd
IT's had a decent game

and Nate Robinson knows his game very very well.

...

1)curry/ellis too quick for jimmer
2)tonight is a winnable game….minutes don’t matter
3)even if we lose, such a better effort with willpower when down, ball movement, “D”

Ellis yes

Curry…not really. Curry wasn’t doing ANYTHING in the first quarter against Jimmer. And what do you mean minutes don’t matter? I’m just talking about putting yourself in a position to win OTHER games besides just this one by giving enough rest to your players.

Please get a steal and a quick 3!!!!! Sometimes it happens..might tonight.

is this our first 20 assist night?

looking for anything.

Its our 3rd I think
I'm banking that Curry will miss 1 ft
no way
ah shoot! he did!
Fuck yeah! I'm buying a lottery ticket tonight
Time to drink and flip tables over
Curry misses a free throw?

the door is open

OMFG

Curry missed a FT

Aykis

Please do yourself a favor and leave the recap as “Kings lose—that is all”

That’s all they deserve right now.

Warriors announcer said he was going to punch someone on the TV staff

maybe they will show that if we can’t find a way to OT

Nate Robinson has to miss at least one
yeah he will.
i forget IT and nate rob are friends

hehe

Yeah

why IT has been well defended.

does lightning strike twice??
How is Jimmer not in on the offense end?
One miss!
ugh, i thought that one was out
Alright, now you need a 3. Jimmer please.
Why

What has he shown tonight that he should be in right now

He's the best 3 point shooter on the roster

You need a 3. Sometimes it’s not freaking rocket science.

But apparently it is for Smart tonight.

HOPE!

Ball movement, “D”, willpower when down…all better!

Man I can’t believe we first lose an easy game to the jazz now let the warriors sneak a win. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We're setting up for a Tyreke half-court shot
Ugh, thought that was rimming out
Need a 3 and a steal
Only Jimmer can make a 4 pointer. Put him in.
"Momma, there goes that man!"
Glad I don't have to hear that anymore. Best thing about Jackson going to GS
Lol, I was really pushing for Reggie Miller to take that front office job in Indiana.

Both of them gone for this year would have been awesome.

It ain't over!
HOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jimmer Who?

WOW OH WOW IT!!!!!!!!!11
DMC's missed FT is HUGE

Tyreke half court shot we can do it!!!!!!!

beat me to it.
Nice. But we need a minor miracle
DGAF we shouldve won this game easy. A loss is a loss
COOOLLLDDD BLOOODDEDDD
That shot makes the ugly TOs egregious.
IT

Starts next game?

DAmmit cousins shoulda made a FT

Close to a foul on replay
honeycutt??
For Evans

because he has 5 fouls.

needed quickness for a steal chance.
Is it garbage time?
out of timeouts. darn.

We need tyreke for a halfcourt shot!

Tyreke

65 fOOTER AT THE BUZZER

Why not? Jerry West did it.
Where is Jimmer?
*insert some comment about defense or his shitty shooting*
He'll probably miss it on purpose
That looked so good :(
man really needed a timeout right there.
And we used one on a shoe.

Wow tyreke wtf is wrong with you WORK ON YOUR HALFCOURT SHOT!

AHHHHHHHH-no magic.
Dang. But good effort
sorry guys

I feel bad this one got away from you guys, but there are good signs I saw tonight, Tyreke and DeMarcus were excellent and Isiah shows some promise, good night, thanks for having me!

Cant expect all those to go in
MOTHERFUCK THIS SHIT

I hate losing winnable games! How much longer do we have to put up with this shit?!

Till the young team matures. This is livable
Rest of the year

But then again we will lose plenty of games that were unwinable too

we were 9 pt underdogs
It's just so frustrating when you can see glimpses of a win and we don't close out.

Us fans have hung around for so long, with the team bring utter shit. I can’t wait for the day we actually start winning these games. I’m not asking for playoffs, but jesus give us something positive to live on. Something more than slight improvements each game.

slight improvements would be fine

if they didn’t just regress a few games later. They never make any real progress. It’s always one step forward one step back.

OK

Why not call timeout or try and throw it down court?

This whole 2nd half really pissed me off

Because we didn't have any timeout.....?
No timeouts left.
because I hear it's a bad strategy to pull a Webber at Michigan
I almost went this route

But i figured we’ve suffered enough this year

C'mon, C-Webb...

I know you know not to do that when you don’t have one.

Rec'd for making me laugh about being stupid

Also for being Harvey Specter. I love Suits.

In response to everyone

I’m retarded. That is all.

I swear I heard the Warriors announcers say we had one. My bad

Why not a half court pass?
because they had 4 guys there
first game I feel like blaming on smart's rotations.

don’t ask why, just feel like it. Team fought hard at the end though.

Surprised we even got THE CHANCE to take that based on how late 3rd early 4th went
I blame this loss

on the time out we had to call because IT lost his shoe

hahah funny...has some truth to it too...but he kept us in the game at the end....breaks even I guess
This has got to be either

1. Paul Westphal’s fault
2. Jimmer’s fault
3. David Stern’s fault

2002 refs fault
Robert Horry's fault

There wouldn’t be a game 7 to get fucked over in if he didn’t make the shot

or if they didnt count samaki walkers half court shot that was fucking late. 3 more points there
4. Geoff Petrie

5. Maloofs

You guys are masochists
REC'D ALL THE THINGS!
i fucking hate brandon rush because of that whole twitter fiasco with him being an asshole
Explica por favor?
Man, turnovers killed us. Should have had this one. Kings will have revenge on Saturday.
Every game Honeycutt has played we lost. He's killing us
Please remind me how did this team let a guy like Brandon Rush dictate the game?
Warriors ran off screens for Rush

and because of the zone, there was nobody to rotate fast enough.

that and soft perimerter D
and cuz it was that time to let a no name player on the other team to torch us

I feel like if honeycutt played 30 minutes instead of salmons we would have won. Honeycutts 3s and defense would have won us the game….salmons easy missed shots cost us the game.

No no no

If Jimmer sat more, then that would fix EVERYTHING zomg!

Salmons talk is redundant. It's all what if, but, and if only's.

Point is we cant control the players on the court obviously and when it comes to salmons he’s the main culprit of our anger. i love shit talking salmons but im done with doing myself….for now… we all know our SF is a hole and we play 4 on 5

MT

Would have been perfect for this game. Seems like people overlook his value to this team.

True thornton’s drives and and1’s really help us out and put us back in the game. Also jeez tyreke 1-7 from 3point land I can’t believe it…

The only way Reke is gonna consistently score from 3pt range right now in his career,

is if he takes off for a dunk from the 3 point line.

The biggest problem is Tyreke shooting seven (seven!) three-pointers
biggest problem is lack of a supporting cast outside of Isaiah
IT is great on drive and dish

break down the D then kick it out, but he has nobody except Jimmer to kick it out to.

I don't know how we lost this game...

Even when DMC & Reke turn it on…

We need a SF. Oh, and I guess transition D & less TOs too.

What’s so frustrating about this game is we had so so so so so many boneheaded turnovers it is unreal. The warriors STOLE this game from us…we had the win……some of our turnovers were just earth shattering, I can’t believe how dumb they were…we lost by 3 points..if we made 2 less turnovers we could have won.

I counted 3 shot clock violations

Exactly…those type of turnovers should never EVER happen…..how are these guys NBA players getting paid millions of dollars…learn to use your eyes…look at the fucking shotclock.

We do this every game.
It's costly when you're a team that struggles to score
Next 5 games:

Home against the Blazers and Warriors
On the road against the Hornets and T’wolves
Back home against the Thunder.

I predict victories against the Warriors, Hornets and T’wolves. The Thunder game is a toss up at this point

Thunder game is a toss up at this point

As in a tossup if we will lose by 20 or 30?

It's a tossup because it is a home game that is expected to be sold out.

They might be able to get the win if they keep it close and feed off the fans

We'll see if IT can stay in front of Westbrook
I am fearing Durant vs Kings right now.

Oh yay, we get Bulls and Heat in Feb too. Huzzah.

i feel more like 1 and 4

with the win being GS or NO.

I think we will beat the blazers, warriors, and hornets. Anything can happen vs twolves and thunder.

The Blazers along with the Grizzelies and Nuggets have the Kings number

Maybe being at home they can at least not get blown out

On paper, the numbers were almost all very good

especially rebounds 53-38. Killer was 18 to 8 in TOs.

Without a doubt

Kings have half the TO’s they win this game, maybe handily.

We would have won if we find out how Denver plays

and we score something like 92 points in the paint.

It can be done against a team like the Warriors. Also, we need to appeal to the NBA so we get to play ourselves 4 times a year.

To make light of the situation, at least we aren’t bobcat fans….

There are just some teams you absolutely feel sorry for

These teams are the bottom feeders of the NBA and have a few good seasons out of a mediocrity laden season

You guys realise the Kings are just like this right?

we had like 6 good years in the last 30?

Yeah but I don't anyone is really a true bobcat fan.
