Are you ready for some basketball?

Well, I guess you would be.

DMC has to play 36

and Reke needs a 20 5 and 5
and please don’t put Thornton on Lin

New York time to Kibitz and Kvetch
End LINSANITY!!!
Hoping to see a bit of Jimmer - Lin matchup
Can't wait to see this Asian Sensation against Reke Havoc
Jackie Chan vs. Chris Tucker
Crap

Jackie would win that one every time

But damn I am so sick of having Linsanity shoved in my face everywhere
Go Kings! put a dent in this Linsanity...

Go Marcus! light it up and D up on him

I could be wrong but since PW left

DMC has averaged 32 minutes and 17 and 13.6

This is ridiculous.

And he’s TWENTY ONE.

With Red Flags!
Can we get a red flag for every King, please?
Are you sure?

Have you checked his ID?

I honestly believe that he will be one of the best NBA centers ever if he can figure everything out.

His floor right now is Zach Randolph. Who knows what his ceiling is?

Firing Westphal may be the best thing that has happened for him in his young career so far.

we should trade him
I'm actually looking forward to seeing Lin play a full game

I want to see what this is about, been stuck to highlights so far.

Much as I like Lin

I don’t want us to be part of the Lin/Knicks winning streak onslaught. Because that story will last for a LONG time. I want us to be known as the team who finally beat them. Ad by beat them I mean crush them by 36 pts.

No way we beat them by 36. 44 maybe
Agree 100%

I wana crush the knicks

I'd rather have Reke hit a game winner against the Knicks

Troll New York hard

Do Peaches and Breem have a past?

Didn’t look like a friendly exchange there.

Theyre friends. Breen comes on Napears show sometime
Welcome to NY friendliness
What is Jerry talking about Reke and Lin are going to be the match-up of the game?
If Kings ride Cuz, Kings win
Did you guys hear one of the new york radio guys making fun of the warriors for letting go of lin

and saying that NY would not trade Lin for either Monta OR curry?

They must be smokin some nice shit in NY……

Jim and Jimmer

Sounds like a bad sitcom

is the game being broadcast on 1140?
Should be

Probably blacked out online though…

that explains it. didnt know they did that.
John Salmons vs. Bill Walker is the match up of the night.

Who will be more worthless for their team? I ‘m thinking John and I’m not holding my breath.

Hopefully this jinx works.

I’ll be happy with two out of the four quarters with our favorite cardboard cut-out.

Spike Lee must be super excited.
Get a win tonight, Kings!
that was quick
4 seconds in and we picked up a foul?
sooo wtf just happened?
Cuz with the fastest foul ever.
Tyson in the Kings dressing room
Lin is very fast!
awww damnit this isn't gonna go well is it?
damn, he started up already with the drive
nice pass salmons
Salmons blows so much.

Why isn’t Donte starting yet?

I'll be the first

Please get Salmons out of the game!

what a collision there, way to take it whoever
Good charge by DMC
Haven't seen that charge drawn in a few games, good to see.
I love cousins

Despite the bullshit by lin and salmons, cousins makes it ALL GOOD

lmao fish. go away
Salmons might be the worst starter in the NBA this year.
Cousins is picking up where he left off
That jumper is SO wet
TE should be able to take Lin off the dribble or post up some I would think
would love to see reke add a post-up game to his arsenal
has the size, should really get it to his arsenal
BOOM, Marcus!!!
Tyreke with a PG play!
Okay, already this is an interesting game.
Lin

liking what I see so far

Man

Lin is gonna score 45.

come one Evans have to finish there, may have been fouled
I am liking Lin.
Since when is it so hard for Tyreke to make a lay up??
He is blinded by Linsanity
Was Cousins just standing there?
He was frozen from Linsanity
Good god, this is gonna get ugly
Knicks attacking the rim, so different to see
I hate knicks

And I hate jeremy lin. COME ON TYREKE WHERES THE LOCKDOWN D

Let him go left, just not all the way for crying out loud.

Lin plays exactly like Steve Nash
a 1 handed Steve Nash
Yep, I was thinking the same thing.

He keeps his dribble alive while he is probing the lane. Really really deadly.

Stream was cut. And all of a sudden we're down 6.

What happened?

We're jacking up ugly shots with no ball movement
wheres the ball movement?

its been 1 vs 1 every possession

exactly pass it around
NC has nissed 2 3 ptrs that would have been an assist
Amazing things happen if you don't pick up your dribble.
Hey Ziller

About Jeremy Lin….

He's got me shaking
Hey look, some offensive play.

Cuz needs to dunk that

good drive by Evans, have to finish around the rim
well that was terrible
What the hell. How did Tyson get THAT open?
Oh dear, I can see where this is going.
This might get real nasty in a hurry.
hang on Kings! play some D...4 assists for Lin, jeez
HEY ZILLER. ATTENTION TOM ZILLER
I am so bored with you
but this is the second time I've posted in this thread
Sheesh, take it easy

You heard of sarcasm?

at what point should i stop watching?
give till the start of the third at least
That what I was thinking

2 minutes in………It was just digusting

Marcus got to the line at least
Sounds like a standard first quarter for the Kings
This is your fault, Tom.

YOUR FAULT.

Takes a lot for us to get a foul
wow, give up more dunks and layups
Embarrassing defense being played by the Kings so far.
I'd give anything for a SF who tries.
Salmons is trying!!

To get amnestied that is.

Come on shut these fuckers up

Kill the crowd cousins

lol. shut up a new-yorker?

good luck

Lin

Is picking apart our defense

heck yeah, nice pass and drive by Thornton, get hot
Yes, let
whoops!

I meant, yes, let’s stand there and stare at the shooter

its a good strategy

It tricks them into thinking we wont play defense, so in the 4th we are able to shut them down. We used this multiple times. Its a deceiving defense, VERY EFFECTIVE.

haha, if you don't mind, I think I'd like it if they didn't gamble with the defense until the very end
Harvard grad. Should we be surprised if he might have a high BB IQ?
Nice. I see what you did there :P.
That looked good going left
weather the storm Kings, get back in it
Amar'e was out of control on that play

Major bail out

yeah, he probably would have thrown up a brick but he had the right idea by attacking the rim
If Cousins had the ball in his hand

Guaranteed offensive foul

Kings are playing like

they are hypnotized by the Linsanity hype.

how many fouls have we gotten??
Terrible fucking defense. and to top it, cuz has 2 now. GREAT
Oh my God

our perimeter defense sucks.

Any word on Jimmer?
Cousins is doing a lot of standing around on D.
good D Kings, make a shot
Please get Thornton off Lin.
sad panda.....
my my god this shit is unbearable

Please get thomas get jimmer get greene get honeycutt out there.

Lol Tyreke playing awful
What an idiotic drive by Reke.
Evans need to use a little BB IQ.
If that's the case, we're in real trouble
At least Isaiah is in

Looks like hes up for the challenge.

They're booing him

LOL

Well I can understand why.
Yeah, he did pretty good D on Lin
Jeremy Lin looks like an all-star
at least the Kings tightened up the D on the last couple of possessions, turnover was close...

but yeah he is playing really well

I cannot believe he was not noticed before. How can this be even possibile?
I saw that the Knicks were even thinking about cutting him before the NJ game when he first started
Three guesses

…and the first three don’t count.

If he played all season, he probably would be.

Still might get in the rising stars competition over MarShon Brooks.

jumpers not falling got to get something going to the rim
Sooo seems like we're all gonna be in foul trouble by the 2nd quarter?
trade tyreke for Lin!
Reke<LIN
They aren't even guarding each other.
Isaiah Thomas

playing in the building his dad did…I kid- I wonder if any member of the Knicks broadcasting has made that statement

Based

on what we saw ffrom TNT Big media dont do research so i would not doubt it

The purpose served by pulling cousins early all the time is unclear to me

You think he should stay in with two fouls?
you get 6
So you do think he should stay in with two fouls early in the game?

Ok, then.

Everyone will end with 5 fouls this game except cuz will end with 9
Kings shooting is CRISP tonight

cool and crisp, like an iceberg.

Put DMC at the 3 and let him shoot jumpers all game…haha. Hayes and JT and fill the middle.

we're shooting 29% guys!
par for the course.
Shooting 3's and missing is not going to get the job done.
I desperately want to see Jimmer

Tonight is the night he goes off……….

If it weren't for Linsanity

Jimmer’s return to New York would have actually be a reasonably big story.

Stats, sample sizes, and assist % be damned!!

Just seeing the contrasts in the style of play between Tyreke and Lin should tell you Tyreke is just not a good PG.

At least we will be all over ESPN getting our asses kicked in black
not the BEST silver lining
The silver lining is that we're on ESPN
*sigh* true. Oh, the life of the Kings fan
you mean

silver LINing

Lin is out, time to make a move.

Can’t believe I’m saying this seriously.

attack the rim Kings!
It's Jimmer time.
Time for Jimmer to step up in front of the hometown fans
Not quite hometown, but your point is valid

Saying NYC is Jimmer’s hometown is like saying San Francisco is your hometown when you live in Placerville.

I understand that, but Madison Square Garden is the NBA home floor for Glenville, New York, unless you're a Nets fan.
Jimmer needs to KILL this crowd PLEASE!!!!!
Please, please, please
awful offense, pass it around tough shots
Novak looks like such a schmuck.
Good take by Greene
Finally someone in black scored
Knicks are chuckin, get back in it Kings
Greene I love you long time!!!!!!!!!

Time for a run by kings

I don't understand why the team chooses to double team on every defensive trip
Game is beginning to look more "normalized"
as in, we didn't even score 20 in the 1st? yeah, sounds about right
As in, it looks like we are not completely getting killed.
I feel like we say that every game.

And then we either come back, or we don’t and get murdered while we are sleepwalking through the third quarter.

Hopefully Lin stays out and we can close the gap... (and that wasn't a joke. wow)
Great drive, got to the line
IT is looking good so far.
17 pts in a quarter. Wow
Terrible first quarter, on to the next one.
Only down 8.

We let the knicks get happy and comfortable, now when they have their guard down its time for the men in black to strike. Strike hard and blow them out by the 2nd half!!

8 points down, not so bad considering Kings have shot only 6 of 20, too many jumpers
Defense was looking horrid there for a bit.
Knicks were getting in the lane at will, but the Kings started to tighten up some even when Lin was in there after a while
Hey maybe Reke will want to show up this game like he did last night
The Kings just look disoriented and mumble jumble to me. No game plan for scoring.
This Could Have Been A Lot...

WORSE that being said they need to settle down and play their game and take it right at Lin

For the love of Christ, no more John Salmons tonight...or any other night.
I think samons makes everyone around him worse

When he misses back to back shots you can see the expression on our guys faces, they just look pissed and upset…like wtf are you doing salmons. He makes our whole team stop trying by failing so hard. Need to stop him from influencing our team in such a negative way and get honeycutt in.

I'd rather start Whiteside at SF over Salmons.

But I think Greene is ready.

I think it should be Donte. He's pretty effective in the limited minutes he gets
Look, if we are gonna have a terrible quarter, you'll always take it in the 1st

Time to get things going for the next 36 minutes.

lets get back in this
Bibby in

Interesting to see the match up against Jimmer

well if you are going to shoot those long ones, make em, Jimmer
Jimmermania vs. Linsanity

Come on Church of Latter Day Saints!

At the hint of a double team Jimmer always turns it over
Hickson Looking to post

Clank

damn even Bill Walker is making them
Salmons!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PURPOSE?
Double agent for all other NBA teams
His purpose is to give knicks fans hope of winning!!!!!!!!!!
So this game is a guaranteed win for us?

Ok.

Knicks aren't missing
Nothing going to the rim, get to the rim Kings
damn Hickson can't catch the ball
I'd seriously rather see Whiteside than Hickson.
Hickson

What the fuck…

finally got something going to the rim and Hickson cant catch it, sigh
no foul for us though
jj sucks sooo much
Get JJ off the court.
Jesus, do the Kings rub their hands with butter before a game?
I'd rather have Omri.
No-hands Hickson strikes again

The reserve on this team are horrible.

Was there any defense there? Looked like we were just standing there.
Went from a 5 point game to a 12 point game in a hurry.
Hickinson

Someone get this man some stick em!!!

I seriously hate hickson and salmons more than any other king in franchise history. yes more than mikki
Oh man this game is probably worse than the suns game
how do you guys feel about the jj trade?
terrible. still rather would have omri. plus we gave a pick...
The pick belongs to the Cavs ONLY if we make the playoffs this year.

Which isn’t happening

I think the truth is beginning to show. We are not a very good team.
You are just now seeing this?
I'm trying to be nice.
And then when we win 3 in a row we talk playoff pushes maybe lol
Well the Knicks certainly have our number

our 5 and a half quarters against them.

Our bench sucks. It's a shame for IT and Jimmer, because they are good players.
Worst kept secret EVER
Salmons and Hickson

are the worst offseason acquisitions we have had in a really really long time. You are fooling yourself if you wouldn’t rather have Beno and Omri.

I agree with you and

here we go again.

I am going to have to find JJ film from last year

no way he’s even still in the league if he played like this

Kings end Linsanity by letting D"Antoni let him take the game off on the bench and get some rest

Wasn’t anticipating we were going to end it that way

Cousins is the heart and soul of the kings

Need him out there.

yeah, he would take it to the rim
Hickson is awful

Hickson and Hayes as our only options as reserve bigs is becoming as big a weakness as our SF position

It's as if these guys don't want to play.
If only Chuck Hayes wasn't short
Hayes is the worst offensive player in the NBA
Hickson... Salmons...
at least they can jump if they had to
im going to start crying....
Too early to start looking forward to the draft?
but we're going to the playoffs!

Tyreke promised!

Chuck Hayes flips up shots like its a hot potato
nice shot Hayes, man take your time there
Haye's shoulder still ain't right
outlaw? OUTLAW?!
HAYES COMES UP SHORT LMAO
We are bad.

We need to make some moves—any moves—available.

Hayes should take the 3 second call

rather than shoot

Hate this lineup
God,we look like hell!!!
Outlaw in. Smart getting desperate.
Hayes should just sit out for a couple of months.
salmons should sit out for a couple decades
why is outlaw in the game?
we don't suck enough
The 5 out there

could possibly be the worst line up we’ve put on the court. Ever.

"Kings aren't shooting the ball well at the moment"

Do we ever?

no passing, a lot of dribbling and bad shot
NICE. WE HAVE FUCKING BRICKSON, HAYES, AND OUTLAW IN
Come on Jerry, Bibby hasn't played any D in at least 6 years if ever
Wow fredette ALWAYS gets blocking fouls

Holy fuck he does not know how to properly take a charge. SMH.

NADefender
reputation calls, when in doubt, its a block 100 percent of the time
This is going to get fugly, y'all!
Please DMC and MT23 do something for us
God DMC get us back in the game!

The man has to carry this team on his back!

You know things are not going well when the announcer said Bibby played good D, damn make a run Kings before half
sick pass outlaw
If they don't do it now, we're looking at a 30-point loss. You can feel it in the air.
And we are making Bibby look like a good defender. Awesome
go sit down jimmer,maybe next year.
Outlaw was 2 feet away from Tyreke and somehow Bibby managed to steal the ball
It was a shitty pass.
That's my point. Only Outlaw can screw that up
Hey awesome pass outlaw
Outlaw = we give up ??
Of course bibby would play defense against the kings,

never played any FOR the kings.

What are you talking about?

So we won games with neither Peja or Bibby playing defense? Get real.

He played much better D than any of our guys currently.
Our offense masked our deficiency on defense
we let old man Bibby get a steal?

we can’t suck any less, can it?

wait and see, they'll surprise you...with worse
that is getting really low down there
Travis outlaw with the excellent transition pass
Kings suck

Its just the truth. No way this is a playoff team. We shoot it horribly, we play terrible defense, and we turn it over constantly. Tough to watch this team this year.

... two months later
Young teams look good 1 night

and bad 2.

Yep

But do the pieces we have make you think it’s just a matter of more time? I’m starting to doubt that.

Not even watching the game. (Currently at school.)

But I can confidently say that there have been tougher years to watch this team.

Is Hayes the worst team captain in the league? Talent wise
Signs say yes.
Yes. By a huge margin. Idk who else is even a captain that is this bad at offense
is Hayes the worst player in the league? talent wise
I really don't think Hayes is part of the problem.
his offense is horrible.
At least he rarely insists on it.

Unlike Hickson.

Those missed layups last night essentially might have costed us the game
Agreed, we have plenty of other people that suck worse
Well, as bad as things have gone, only down 12, make a run Kings
The Kings fans mantra?
Conspiracy theory time: The rims at the practice facility for the Kings are completely off center and that's why our shooting sucks
Stern must have had his stooges alter them :P.
Is Outlaw's height 5'9"??
Signs say yes.
Only if he is using the extra foot as a foot
im laughing so hard right now,

im starting to cry.

just logged in

been watching the whole game so far…. upset…. was hoping for a better effort

Get it to Thornton and DMC in the post and make some shots Kings
lol MIKE TYSON
Tyson a kings fan?
Mike Tyson

An incoherent man

Might watch the game yall . Go Kings!
jim gray talking to mike tyson

lol, most random shit ever

There was so much wrong with that interview
"Did you threaten to beat up any of the Kings?"

What kind of question is that?

ya i know thats basically disprespectful to tyson even

treating him like a clown…. although

"A great one in my opinion." - Jim Gray
My feeling too,

The word sycophant came to mind.

is a fan of the kings
No Kvetching when we are within 20. We are only down by 12.
Good against the Bulls...then blow against the Knicks.

Classic Kings.

jim gray is such a prick
Isn't he the guy that asked Peja about the Lakers

When he won the 3 point shootout?

Please mike, give salmons an uppercut.....
Mike Tyson

Should punch Jim Gray in the face!

he just might you never know with him
That would be epic.
is mike tyson a kings fan?

that would be cool as hell

He is really good friends with the Magoofs.
Donte tweeted that JJ said he could beat up Mike Tyson. Riiigghht
Mike tysons fist, is the only thing JJ would be able to catch....
JJ hickson can't catch a basketball

let alone throw those stone hands at Mike Tyson.

I'm sure JJ could throw a couple bricks at Tyson
he does have hands of stone
we are only down 10!
With our Sfs

we re always playing 4 on 5

With Outlaw it's like we are playing 3 on 5

Yes, he’s -2

with Lin

we’re playing 4 on 6!

(I kid, I kid … kinda)

Greene is nice though
Theres the good Hayes
OMG

OUTLAW MADE A PLAY

Outlaw!

And we give it up on the other end

for the first time.. OUTLAW with the SLAM!
hell yeah!! nice eff up Amare, and break Kings
Take it to the rim. There is no reason for any King to be taking any perimeter shots
HERP DERP HOW DO GARD ALLIE OOP?
or an unguarded 10 footer
Outlaw guarding Lin

What could possibly go wrong

damn bricklaying Knicks with the long rebound
agh cousins you gotta finish that strong
Cousins needs to trust his teammates with Lin
thats the problem

He knows our perimeter defense is terrible.

Our guards NEVER fight through a screen.
dunk it dmc damnit
2nd nice drop off pass cousins needs to dunk
Salmons

Looks bored

I think its a mental problem
Cuz please play with a little more power :(
why do our big men never want to just DUNK THE BALL
Because Cousins can jump about as high as I can
Cuz is all power. No lift in his legs.
they are so fucking lazy

or indifferent

or they don’t understand the value of every posession

whew

the bayou board crasher

Sweet Jesus that counted? A good play?!

Linsanity must’ve said a blessing for us

TO there on Lin, nice break Kings
MT23 showing some hustle
goddamnit, i sat on my channel button, and when i changed it back

i see the crowd cheering and tyson chandler looking cool

Everytime we get it down to single digits, the Knicks spoil it.
Lin has been a little reckless, more TO's coming
he has more assists then our entire team.
true, but he has been reckless on the last several possessions and have had a problem with TO's

does not help that the Knicks hit a three and fouled

Cuz is playing such lazy defense today. Slide your feet.
Much better defense!
Tyreke loves the front of the rim
that's cuz he is too indifferent to really learn to change his shot
the amount he leans backwards while shooting

would put that pull directly in the middle of the net if he squared up properly

Yep his fade is a really bad habit
way to go outlaw
tyreke doesn't know how to set up a play to save his life

only knows reactionary one on one ball

Chandler on Evans in the backcourt

missed fade away

Wow Outlaw

Just go ahead and foul a 3 point shooter

How did Novak make that 3?
Nice outlaw
I FUCKING HATE HIM
outlaw needs to go, don't understand how he is allowed to play
cause we have a love for journeymen players..
cause he is playing no worse then our other Small Forwards?
novak sucks why foul!
fucking damnit.....

i miss that win ‘streak’

that win streak was so amazing

now its sad and its just yea sad

Waive salmons, outlaw and hickson

please

and sign Lin's 2 brothers

and heck even his sister

Good lord this game is ugly
I may go find something else to do.
Outlaw is always amazing
17 Points

iin this quarter hey at least they are consistent

closing streaming game

out to the store sigh!!

Too much one on one. Post DMC up and pass it around
He has three, lazy, stupid fouls.
that does not help, post up somebody
the whole team is playing terrible.
Ugh

Wake me up when the Kings attempt to play team ball. I don’t have the vocabulary to explain how downright awful and embarrassing this is.

Its not as bad as the game vs the mavs..or the 30 point blow out in denver!!!!!!!!!
Not over yet.
We'll be lucky to be at 40 by the half

This is everything but over.

We always look bad when we shoot 34%

and DMC has 2 RBs at half

Kings could amnesty Salmons but you know that's not going to happen
If another team picks him up, he'll start shooting 55% from the floor
i dont care if he becomes the greatest player ever. the is playing shitty for us and he need to go.
This site seriously needs a dislike button
Sadly, it's not just Salmons

It’s everyone on the team tonight.

Is the 2nd half even worth watching?
It probably can't get any worse?
oh ho ho, yes it can
Damn I need to quit punishing myself with this team

I sit outside in the freezing cold to watch this team on my laptop and i get this shit. repeatedly.

Good thing we got that pep talk from Tyson

Team looks really inspired today

Maybe we'll start biting their ears off in the second half
why not play Evans more at the 3 and get IT and Jimmer more minutes?

since all our real SFs are horrid

We should farm talent from all the aZns cheering for Lin.

I’m sure we could field a better squad.

There is still a 2nd half

We ussually come back in the 2nd. I think we will start playing hard in the 3rd and go into killer mode in the 4th.

Knicks could always let up, but they are attacking and have been will be tough
What is with Reke?
he could be the worst jumshooter in the league
LOL!!!!!!!!!
I didn't know Bill Walton posted here
What do you mean?

He had a good game last night so of course he would have a terrible game tonight. He is pretty good at being inconsistent

tired from playing almost all of last nights game?
There has to be a better SF than Salmons in the D-League
Its called every SF in the D league
goddamnit, hayes saw it that time too, he just couldnt jump high enough
Holy crap

that was awesome

not awesome for the Kings

but awesome back door alley oop

Palo Alto Sr High to Stanford

Lin —→ Fields

ugh.. knew i shouldnt sit Fields in fantasy...
the sad truth

it is always a good idea to start the SF…of who ever is playing the kings

JLin going to set Knicks assist record tonight
What's the record?
Is that 3 alley oops for the night?
Are there ANY kind of shots that we can make?
Im done til the 4th qt, if its somewhat close.

See ya

I'm out

whether way too nice, going to take advantage. Good luck Kings.

I hate Hayes
better to spot up shoot, he will get blocked inside
we can not even make free throws
Seriously...

Why does Hayes think he can score?

if Hayes was 7 ft he would still be a bad offensive player

oh wait hes 6’6

I agree.

That was a travel..but I doubt they’ll call it on Lin at this point

Hayes' vertical

Might be six inches. Maybe

Oh goody... Spike Lee AND Jim Grey!!!

No kidding. Sheesh

Spectacular defense by outlaw.
I always thought that this team's least pressing issue was its scoring punch.

But I mistook shooters as “scorers”. Damn this team is awful at times.

i cant believe we are only down 16
I can tell I am becoming a much more dedicated fan.

I used to bail on games like this.

I have never bailed on a game like this before

Deep down in my heart I believe tyreke will reke havoc on lin. and cousins still needs to destroy chandler. IT ISNT OVER!!!!!!!!

We did have that comeback during Tyreke's rookie year.

It’ll be cool if they can replicate the results

Bailing on games is for fairweather fans

I have never once turned off a game. Even the Dallas game this year, I tortured myself and watched the entire things.

If you need an example on why you don’t bail, go ahead and google the Kings game that was held on Dec. 21st 2009

something good is coming out of this craptistic basketball
I'm all in for Lin right now

I’m also kind of hoping he embarasses Reke on an iso or something, just to confirm the mania. I’m a bad, bad fan.

Tyreke you are so funny!!

and awesome and amazing thank you for the steal!!!!!!

So sick of JJ, Salmons, no assists, etc.

Need a shakeup- fast.

Lin just dribbled past 3 Kings.
this is bad,i am watching the news######
It ain't over till the fat lady sings
true, true. Kings can come back
She may not be singing right now but she sure is humming loudly.
Hey now.... don't you talk about Chuck Hayes like that!
ugh! now that was as awful defense as you can get, credit Lin, but damn that was awful
36 points in the half. Whoop-de-doo.
im so tired of seeing these point totals
K I N G S sucks sucks sucks
trade JJ,Outlaw,Hayes,Jimmer for JEREMY LIN
and Salmons
and if they wont budge.. throw in Cisco
They would never do it.
Horrible Half

But its time to go play a better half of ball

At least Reke is trying.
Spike Lee - I love him!
Truly embarrassing

Kings should be made to watch a replay of one of these terrible games with a room full of about 100 fans so they know exactly how bad they look.

They would all be in tears or in jail for pummeling fans.
I knew we would lose to the knicks

I thought we would lose to the suns as well as the bulls. I just knew it would happen. But I am telling you guys theres just no was we lose any more games.

For fuck sake, it's halftime
changing channel on this bullshit interview
oops reply fail
Detroit and Cleveland are the Kings next opponents.

I don’t see how we don’t go 2-0…Casspi might just drop 40 on us

that would be poetically horrible

if the wing domination continued and casspi destroys us like every SF

Damn how did Lin get cut by the Warriors and Rockets?
do you remember him back then? he sucked baad
I did not even know who he was until last week
I can't comprehend putting anyone but reke on Lin

He’s the only one with size, quickness, and length to keep up with Lin. Landry Fields isn’t demolish you off the dribble. Can someone please explain this to me.

Landry Fields isn’t demolish you off the dribble. Can someone please explain this to me.

LOL, it is like he started playing better off the dribble since Lin started

Smart put Reke on Lin.... BUT

BUT… When the Kings cant make a basket, it results in transition D… with off guard picking up Lin and Visa Versa.

I feel like majority of possessions I've seen MT/Outlaw/Salmons on him.
Ya your right, everyone has been on Lin.

Cause the Kings can’t make a basket. Person closest to Lin ends up guarding him due to our terrible offense.

Spike and Jim are trying to out talk each other
This gets me emotional. Spike Lee has been such a great Knicks fan.

Jeremy Lin must be a miracle to him. There is a movie in the making.

yeah best interview of the season!
From Jim Crandell's twitter...can anyone elaborate?
I just heard rumors out of Seattle that the city could announce a new sports arena complex tomorrow…
Who cares?

If Sac gets an ESC, the Kings stay. End of story.

Seattle needs to stay the hell away
Doesn't matter. They'll have a complex but no team. Boo hoo Seattle.
Seattle can have the Hornets
Good for them, I hope they get the Hornets.

New Orleans is not large enough to be a major league market anymore. Sad but true.

Seattle Hornets...I could fly with that.
Would the NBA allow them to go back to using "Sonics"?

I was kinds surprised that they didn’t try a swap between NO/Charlotte when the Bobcats came into the league, to allow Charlotte to retain “Hornets”.

Maybe this would be the opportunity? Go back to Seattle SuperSonics and Charlotte Hornets?

Clay left the name and logo behind

So yes

How in the world did they get that done so fast?

But true, doesn’t matter if they do, as long as we get it done, they stay.

It's called money.
havent they had a complex since they lost the sonics?
I'll elaborate

The Maloofs aren’t selling.

Sure, I'll elaborate.

Crandell is a rumormonger.

He says lots of stuff. Sometimes its even true.

It starts with terrible perimeter D.

Which leads to Cousins guarding Lin 15 feet from the hoop. Which results in fouls on Cousins and easy drop pass dunks from Chandler/Amare. Fouls on Cousins means hes sitting on the bench. Which means Hayes and JJ on the floor. GAME OVER at that point.

Here is an idea. How about our guards actually guard on the pick in roll? Fight through a screen perhaps? We always end up having a PF or C switching onto their guards. Not just this game… but EVERY GAME. TERRIBLE TERRIBLE Pick and Roll D by the Kings.

They don't give up the most points for nuttin.
L. Fields played well. he looks like a solid SG-SF
Watching UNC, Barnes is better than all SFs on this team combined
Oh dont you worry, the way the Kings are playing we will be in position to draft Barnes.

Unless the lottery balls fuck us over again.

which means

The kings will not be in position to draft Barnes.

Who would you pick if the Kings were in your shoes and they ended up with the first overall pick?
Anthony Davis

He could end up changing our whole defense. Plus Thompson off the bench means we never have to see Hayes or Hickson on teh court again

Good choice.

I like that Gilchrist kid at Kentucky also.

in his left pinky finger.
Team defense is bad but offense is worse. We just can't score.
The big question every night is

Which is worse, the offense or the defemse

Trade for Turkoglu.

At least that guy can shoot.

ok kings lets not be terrible
In the end if the kids get a little better and we get the stuff together for an arena and get to keep our losers it will be enough for me this season
Yep

Priority 1 is to make sure we can actually watch this team next year.

I've said it multiple times

but if the Kings don’t win another game, but we get an arena. This will be one of the best years in franchise history

+ alot. I was depressed for a month after last season when it looked like they were leaving for sure
Key to win this game

Bobby Jacksson and Mike Bibby put on kings jerseys and play for us in the 2nd half

Petition the league to allow the Kings to play 6 on 5 and coax Peja out of retirement
Better yet:

Get them to put on Knick’s jerseys and replace Fields and Lin

Well Bibby could wear the one he has on.
Oh God look at those stats. Horrible in almost every category.
If you don't like that, you don't like Kings basketball!
The Knicks are killing us in the paint
we actually looked good like... the first 5 minutes
i all the sudden just felt bad for jim gray

i was about to spout some shit about him, then i just felt a twang of sympathy…. wtf was that

2-0 Knicks to start the 2nd :(
good D, fields bails em out, get to the rim Kings
at least we may be scoring now.... hopefully
4th on Cousins?

Refs should just let them play

hey didnt lin just travel again?
Its Ok

He is a SUPERSTAR

Refs screwing over the Kings again amiright?

Seems to happen every game!

Refs have nothing to do with this.
Took a long trip on that one
Good idea Evans, the Kings have to get something going to the rim
good lord, how do you miss that one after schooling Lin
this is horse shit
Just no focus at all
egads

I’m at my niece’s high school game, and I check the score. Wtf the Kings down so far? With that my niece hits a three!

Salmons=worst Kings starter ever???

Can’t think of another. He’s just aimless out there.
