I actually liked it...

A lot more than Bronson, and I haven’t seen Valhalla Rising yet. Downloaded that Pusher trilogy a while back, but haven’t given it a chance.

He should make music videos, I bet they would be great.

That’s as much as I can say. Beautiful cinematography can only take you so far, but if your story sucks, then your story sucks.

It's hilarious that Thomas is getting booed because of a shitty GM.

When it rains, it floods in Kingsland

Also in Manhattan, which is a swamp that was artificially raised by man.

Jimmer and Isaiah are here to save the game.

Carpeteria - February 15, 2012 reply

I don't think we were nearly as loud as MSG

They have to pipe in noise because the arena is so big

Assists

Lin 13, Kings 10.

Why are they booing IT?

unfair weather - February 15, 2012 reply

They don't like that name much naymore in NY?

because of his name

okay

Cousins is dragging ass

get him to the bench

He has been all night. Must be tired.

New PG, SF wanted

D-League applicants welcome.

Fields has 9 rebounds

and sitting on my fantasy bench :(

Isaiah can destroy Knicks

like Isiah

Can the Kings crack 20 points this quarter?

I notice that no one is remotely concerned about Evans shooting a three.

Besides Kings fans, I mean.

cause hes a horrific shooter

I am perfectly content if he will just consistently drive to the basket and make the layup.

so nice watching a pg

Howard Nevens IV - February 15, 2012 reply

Kings Have No Flow

So frustrating

Basket has a freaking lid on it

I dont understand why Honeycutt isnt getting time

Not active

That'll do it

THEN PUT IN DONTE

YES

him and whiteside switched bench warmer spots

And seriously play Hassan

23!!!

The Kings: Generously giving opposing players career highs

That's what we do best. Make other players stars.

lol, dunk that thompson!

Can't even make layups this is pathetic

TO's coming from Lin now--maybe tired, but he is turnover prone atm, take adv Kings

Thank you Jimmer.

Fuck you knicks.

chance of coming back? 20%?

.0023245 %

So your telling me there's a chance??

hahah to both

Trade....anyone not named DeMarcus.

+1

Knicks fans are going to hate IT even more after that last defensive trip

Isiah thomas is not always the smartest either

that was a dumbass layup

everyone else was open

wild take by IT

sometimes he doesnt realize hes 5’9

QUICK WHISTLES ON US

They keep getting turnovers but aren't getting anything from them.

C’mon man.

Eli132 - February 15, 2012 reply

yeah, had the right idea on that last one, just not finishing at the rim or getting fouled

This is a quintessential tired game

This game was lost yesterday trying to come back against the Bulls

To quote Jerry:

“Good teams find a way to win”.

We’re not very good.

Gee what tipped you off to that one?

Reke and DMC are our best starters

at 40%….

I'd still rather them be taking 20-25 shots each

if tyreke takes 25 shots he makes 10

The Kings remind me of my personal fitness regimen

Lose 10 pounds, get within 5 pounds of my target…then fall off the wagon again.

LOL

I lol'd

those who say kings dont need a pg in the worst way

do not know anything about basketball

#3 on the list of things we need

Well you've gotta share #1 and #2 now.

yes!

I’m sick and tires of this team sucking. Tyreke is obviously not the answer, I wanna see jimmer get some fucking minutes at pg

Since'89 - February 15, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Jimmer sucks

Anyone in the bay area just feel an earthquake?

I didn't. Damn I hate missing them

3.7 near Vallejo.

Ok good, thought the Linness was making my TV shake

really? I am in FF but must have been in my car listening to the Kings and thought it was just excessive SMH on my part

Coastal faults have been more active in the past week...

eek.

6.0 earthquake near Oregon last night

Yikes

In Palo Alto, felt nothing.

Yeah

I farted

agh, good idea but bad pass by reke

damn, Jimmer that is what you are out there for

He had to pick up the ball off the ground basically and get his shot off in a huge rush

can’t blame him for missing that.

herehere - February 15, 2012 reply

heb didnt want to pass

give him a nice pass

Damn jj in

hickson in

comeback time

Oh God.

I have a feeling we're seeing Tyreke almost at his potential :/

your kidding right

Ive seen minimal progress in now his 3rd year

He played great yesterday. Over 20 points, 8 assists, 8 rebounds.

How is that not progress?

Rookie year game

Rookie year he was 20, 5 and 5....

What I'm saying is he out up stats like that in his rookie year.

great stats, but nothing more now. more meaning better shot selection, better shooting, etc…

I beg to differ

Oh boy, JJ Hickson. This should turn things around.

Dang, I didn't think the Kings would lose the rebound battle tonight.

Lin sitting next to Melo and both laughing, I hate the Knicks being happy and winning

Brick BrickBrickBrickBrickBrickBrickBrickBrickBrickBrickBrickBrickBrickBrickBrickBrickBrickBrickBrickBrickBrickBrickBrickBrickBrickBrickBrickBrickBrickBrickBrickBrickBrick

Rest of game,..

play this five:

Thornton, Jimmer, Donte, Evans, DMC

jimmer please jump a tad to get in novak face

omfg

the rebound right, wth?

ya lol

If the Kings score 20 points this quarter, free ketchup packets for all viewers

Wise choice.

Eff this game. I’m right there with you.

Fighting for stats...

sigh…

I never noticed how much Landry Fields looks like Adam Carolla.

maybe he should do a show with Aykis

Skinny sean may

wheres the Kings that played the Thunder??

nationally televised game.

on TNT

This game

probably has more people watching then the TNT game

This is basically a national game, surprised they didn't bring more energy

with 17,000 Kings fans going berserk

wow....

If the Kings hold them to zero points this quarter...

we got a shot

HAHAHA

New Yorkers are such assholes. Dude is a rookie in the NBA and has nothing to do with your shitwater ex-Gm

They're fucking with him, relax. It's a sign of affection.

I got it the first time.

But repeating it over and over is stupid.

You didn't have Isiah Thomas destroying your franchise for a decade. They've earned it.

They're also Jeremy Lin fans.

Who isn't?

I would boo any future rookie named rick fox or robert horry

Wow- worst shooting team ever.

Hey, guess what.. the world ends in 2012

This x100

We got a little better. Shot 29% in the 1st and now we're shooting 32%. Baby steps? Very sad baby steps...

I figured that the battle vs. Chicago last night would have them a bit tired

But this level of fail was a bit unexpected.

At what point to we define a loss as epic fail?

mid 2nd quarter?

20 points, 30 points?

Bad omen: MT getting called for a foul less than 4 seconds in the game

For those seeking to find a silver lining, I fear we will end up with bupkis.

Slam, I am reading through the game threads

and your posting makes me proud. You are a quick study.

I'm kvelling

You're such a mensch.

Wow Rondo second straight game of 30 pts.. and only the 3rd qt

#Rondosanity

It will be interesting when Boston plays NY, Rondo is quick and the C's play good D....

Lin could have a tough night there

20-65 @ 30%, and Kings are still only down by 22....

play hard in the fourth and at least make a run!! go Nuts Jimmer!!

they got to pass you the ball

get it to him and let it rip

Can't even break the 20 point barrier in a quarter, laughable!

WE NEED A PG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Much bigger need than SF IMO.

No CousinsEvansidiot

Did he get the timeout he deserves?

Your hurting my feelings

Stop it please.

Kings let everyone shoot 50%

dinnertim - February 15, 2012 reply

We're making suns and knicks look like top tier defensive teams.

and to remain the broken record I have been the past four weeks

this is why the Kings need more talent and the only way they will get this talent is through the draft.

hey guys just got off a plane how we...oh god

folsomfella - February 15, 2012 via mobile reply

They're actually resting Lin, that's how bad this is.

Gotta save him for a competitive game.

Go Brickson!

lol

“the rout is on”

It's okay

We have Hassan Whiteside

ACTUALLY IT'S NOT

Hush

It’s the only thing keeping me from crying.

We should stand around

At this point I am just hopeful that we crack the 80 point mark for the SportsCenter mention.

if Jimmer kept shooting like IT is after going 0-5 he would be getting murdered on this board

exactly

Show me one person happy with IT's play so far

Waiting.

IT's mom. Naw, I love IT and Jimmer, it was just first thing I thought of after he put those last two up.

I’ll add that if Jimmer went 1-1 people would also be going crazy without any reason to

nah, I want Jimmer to shoot and shoot and shoot

that is his best talent, and shooters have to have little conscience (see Thornton, Marcus). Shooters have to shoot themselves out of a slump

This

Jimmer gets undue hate cause of Jimmer fanboys. Automatically made IT the underdog/favorite.

Sacramental - February 15, 2012 via mobile reply

I hate Jimmer

FOR NOT SHOOTING

Allbenji - February 15, 2012 via mobile reply

ugh this looks like a pickup game at a local gym..

IT the greatest shooter ever

that hesitation got him there, should have just let it go

Well...

…at least no one is under any illusion this team is all that good. I was afraid the OKC win would do that.

Oh trust me

It did to a lot of people on this blog. We were supposed to steamroll the old Suns and shut down overrated Jeremy Lin, remember?

Novak looks like 7 foot version of Jimmer

So all pale white people look the same?

Since'89 - February 15, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Lin looks like a 6 foot version of yao ming

he can knock down the 3's

oh what i didnt notice that commercial untill the end

tyreke was in it… wish i was paying attention

id be suprised if he could read

Smart must be so frustrated watching this junk.

GAME OVER!!!!SEE YOU GUYS LATER.

cowboyron96@yahoo.com - February 15, 2012 via mobile reply

how the fuck is IT not getting benched??

If Jimmer missed even half of the number of IT’s shots, he’d be on the bench for at least 2 more games.

herehere - February 15, 2012 reply

Guys, if we are lobbing grenades over who is worse between IT and Jimmer, we are going to end up with nothing but craters.

I don't mean that I think they are "bad", I mean that we should drop all of the negative energy.

oh god jim grays talkin to whoopie now

thats MMA but ya urijah faber

KJ is our biggest celebrity.

We're getting screwed

We are GOOD. We are DAMN good. Screw the knicks. With their stupid lucky tricky defense, making us think they’re playing good defense and making us miss shots. Dammit we need to score the ball.

Sore loser much?

Careful, sims.

It drinks apple juice.

Nope

This has gotta be an act.

Jimmer always running around and turning it over

id like to see juimmer on a veteran team

why because he wouldnt play?

So which NYK loss was worse?

Sacramental - February 15, 2012 via mobile reply

This one is definitely worse

ya other one was still westphal right?

Yup

Bibby just looks awful out there

shame

even the Kings cast offs are performing poorly?

I guess I am fortunate that my DirecTV needs a restart. I am just waiting it out.

Kings cant even set a fucking screen

Tyreke can stroke it when he doesnt fade

or jump

yeah its called squaring up and setting feet

Its called fundamental.

Bambooozled - February 15, 2012 via mobile reply

Insert joke here.

lol

The rebound differential might be the most surprising stat of the night.

Not surprising

Kings miss everything, Knicks make everything. Of course Knicks have more boards.

Offensive boards: Kings 7, Knicks 5

I see your point, but those numbers are surprising given the shot selections and %. Kings ought to have 3x the offensive boards.

Good call. True.

I still have the TV on

But is any actually watching the game?

haha no. Mine has basically turned into a radio at this point

The weakness of Jimmer really angers me

Cousins is playing with a big cement dump in his pants

Jimmer wants a charge so bad

OK its HW time

That's how bad it is. HW is more enjoyable than watching them play

lol, they really should finally put honeycutt in

inactive

hassan i meant

has Hickson ever made a jump shot?

2004

disgusting

I want Petrie gone if he doesnt fix this crap.

I just want him gone.

I just want him

sigh

:D

but he made a few good trades and FA pickups 11 years ago!!

When I saw Amick after the Thunder game, he was under the impression that Petrie's hands may be tied financially.

He said that he had been hard on Petrie’s decisions too, but it seems as though he simply doesn’t have the money to spend.

Enemy = Maloofs

Doesn’t have the money to spend

We have the lowest payroll in the league. We have money to spend.

an empty wallet has no cash

It doesn't help that the owners are cheap

cheap/broke

I think he was under the impression that the minimum is all they have to spend

Are we going into garbage time?

already

2nd quarter

these games make me scared that demarcus and evans will leave

me too

Boot Scoot Baby - February 15, 2012 reply

me three

Throw it down big man!! throw it down!!!!

The Kings are so bad, they're resting the undrafted cut-twice kid so they can play five guys you've never heard of.

The kings are so bad they have to play their starters in garbage time

WOW TONEY DOUGLAS

he was in the doghouse

Have the Kings got it down to 20 yet?

at 23 right now

closer than ever before!

Jeremy played a great game and showed he is a national sensation. Mazel Tov.

I should say during that 1st quarter how he connects with Amare and Tyson

That he’s the real deal. Thrives on the pick and roll. I was thinking if he was on the kings I don’t know if he will perform as well as we don’t have very good Roll players. So his success is definitely attributable to Tyson and Amare as well as D’Antoni’s system.

tidge18 - February 15, 2012 reply

Agree. He looked outstanding tonight.

I wish he were on our team.

The thing I dont get about Petrie recently is his draft genius?

I mean seriously. t top 5 picks in 2 years and hes getting praise? 2 things wrong with that pic. 1) We sort of wouldnt be in that position he he drafted better or traded better earlier, and 2) Evans and Cousins were no brainers (except maybe the thing over Curry or Rubio).

And I know the maloofs lack of spending hurts but seriously recently the draft has not been hard at all. first round wise.

plus his FAs havent been good in years. i couldve made the Cousins pick. maybe not the Evans but, i think his time is almost up

Even if you didn't make the Evans pick you would have scored wiff Rubio burgers.

i must admit i was a huge Rubio fan that had to hide the day he wasnt picked

This last draft was a real doozy...

that’s the one where we bamboozled the Bucks for the awesome super star John Salmons so we could move down to pick Jimmer.

Oh and losing Beno in the process, at least Beno could knock down shots...

i still believe Jimmer was a luxury pick that the Kings couldnt afford to get at the time. Love him since hes on the team but,

That was crazy awesome how we pulled that one off

2*

Are these knicks homer announcers crazy?

Games not even over yet. We can still win..over 5mins left and only down 23. Not impossible to win. Why are they so cocky..

...........wat.........

lol

Because even if the hoop were expanded 5 more feet we'd still miss shots

Are you for real?

It’s over.

Mah bad. Double post. The thread is lagging for me.

Your optimism is refeshing

confusing, but refreshingly so

You need to find out what's wrong with you.

I’m concerned

My bubbala DeMarcus looks down. I feel so bad for him.

Kings haven't cracked 20 pts in a quarter yet

dinnertim - February 15, 2012 reply

AND

they hit 20

dinnertim - February 15, 2012 reply

Kings need to bring in a vet that would instantly be the best player on the team

Can we trade someone for S.Novak?? he can shoot

He'll forget how to shoot the moment he puts on a Kings jersey

Bring in Korver, Kapono, Bonner

anddddddddddddd jimmer misses a free throw. deff not our night

Seriously, usually I can find a silver lining...was there anything good?

Whiteside!!!!

Nope. Rusty lining tonight, my friend.

Whiteside is checking in

You can't stop Steve Novak, you can only hope to contain him.

Hassan!

there ya go, lol

WHITESIDE

Whiteside!!! Comeback time

Hell yes!

Jimmer should start

Hasaan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IT'S OK WE HAVE HASSAN WHITESIDE!

Outlaw 3-4 from the field tonight. [chuckles]

Oh, the irony.

It's okay now

4 minute left

down 19, whiteside in!! GOT THIS!!!

hoping hassan gets a few blocks and warrants some time

19 points, 4 mins. Got them right where we want them

WHITESIDE!!!!

FTW!!!!!

EVERYTHING'S OKAY NOW GUYS

Jimmer setting up Hickson for the 3?? WTF no one should EVER set up Hickson for the 3

Let's just finish strong

That’s all I’m asking

These Kings probably won't oblige you, bud.

BUT LOTTO PICK~

WTF?

Lin has 5 rebounds. That’s one more than any player on the Kings right now.

How the F does that happen?

EGKF - February 15, 2012 reply

Highest King gets 4

Shaq is right.

As much as I hate him, that bastard is right.

Meaning we got up to play on TNT?

Yep.

It’s just two completely different teams.

What was he right about this time?

Wow I can't believe they reviewed that

Gotta do something to piss on our grave.

When cousins doesn't rebound we lose

Cousins, baby, what’s wrong!! Y u no rebound!!!!!!

Well boys and girls, We're on the front page of ESPN

But it’s for Lin.

Silver Lin-ing?

nice

I wonder why they decided to activate whiteside instead of Honeycutt

The score keeps just took away Jimmer's 3. Shot-clock violation

keepers*

i turned off the TV

cant stand watching this game

I'm going to start a franchise in NBA 2K12 just so I can cut and trade Hickson/Outlaw/Salmons.

Even the CPU will reject every trade involving them

lol I think it does. My bf has tried every option possible.

lol

How many points for Lin today?

10

hey we stopped his 20 point streak

Not really...but if it helps you sleep :P

He was pulled to rest. He was still 4/6 shooting on the night.

always look for the good in evil. always look for the light in darkness :P

Rusted silver lining?

10 points, 13 assists.

wow his assists arent flashy really but he racks them up

Whiteside for the block

2 mins left. Only down 22. We'll win this.

nice hassan

more comfortable with IT driving than shooting

Who can we blame tonight?

Ourselves.

who is next on the list hmm.. Looks like its.. ah, today we blame Big Corporations

I'm running out of people/things to blame

i guess we go to Abstract things next? like.. the color blue

Darn blue.

I'm blue right now

I blame Jim Gray, he's just turrible

Hey Al Gore, hows that global warming working out?

Kings are playing like nebbishers

There might even be a drek or two on the team.

Shlock, Drek, Nebbish, Fercocktka.

Like someone stormed the shtletl.

Hey, we got it into the mid-80s. That is a minor victory given how the night went.

Felt like a 35 point loss

It really did. Only 17

They are calling it 15.

IT stole the ball and scored at the end to make it 15

That jumper by Whiteside looks horrible

think I threw up a little bit there.

Stinky_916 - February 15, 2012 reply

IT heats up now??

A little late for that, while the other team has already hung it up for the night.

Not impressed.

Skeptical Dawg - February 15, 2012 reply

I don't think anything in this game can qualify as impressing

but it gives him confidence after the crowd was all over him all game.

That confidence at the end of games has carried over so well for these guys too.

Thank god, the torture is over

So thats why Hassan doesnt play

It's over. Officially, not like it was in the first half.

Your sarcasm is scary, but the truth is scarier

Skeptical Dawg - February 15, 2012 reply

IT Mr. 4th Quarter

not like it matters

Tyreke will never be great in the NBA if he doesn't fix his fadeaway that he takes every damn shot.

Truth.

Never were truer words spoken.

Not trying to pile on, but the reality is that he won't even be "very good"...just "good".

Which is really an average made up of “below average” to “great” performances.

If he can become a better passer and play ala Rondo it would be just as good as developing a jump shot

Whiteside with +7...he must be the missing link! (chasm)

Time for dinner.

Said the Knicks

Linsane game

Grey is intereviewing Fields and is talking about Lin, what a nebbish.

I feel like a shmendrick (jerk) for rushing home to watch this drek.

You were just hoping for a different outcome with anticipation to plotz.

The Kings are the first team to hold Jeremy Lin under 20!

A silver lining! You are a maven!

see? thats what im sayin!

people will think we are defensive stalwarts to PGs!

LOL

I don’t know why that made me laugh so hard

Hate to burst your bubble but,

10 & 13 in 26 minutes isn’t half bad.

These Kings played poorly in any language

On to Detroit.

I feel like if the Kings show up for that game they’ll have a good shot at a win. They show up with the same kind of sloppy play like they showed tonight and they’ll be toast again.

no way they play this bad two nights in a row, but they have proven me wrong before

the Jekyll and Hyde Kings, except where Dr. Jekyll got kicked out of med school

seriously, i dont know any team who looks so good and so bad night in n out

I think of them more as

Hekyll and Jekyll

Harvard > Memphis

Guys don't worry

This offseason Geoff Petrie will trade Isaiah Thomas to the Knicks fo Bill Walker and call it a much needed upgrade at the 3 position.

James Dolan would do this trade for Jeremy Lin

noo tired of us targeting guys like that and dudley and novak :(

But...but..

It would a “good piece to our basketball club” (Petrie voice)

he is just too expensive... why not call Brad back? (maloof voice)

*for Bill Walker

Look on the bright side

15 AST > 10 TO

Another silver lining. It just gets better and better:)

Smart : We ran into a hot team; playing well last five games.

(Defensively): We regressed

Not sure what i want from trade deadline.. one solid player on offense/ D? doesnt need to be fancy but i need something

whats the website where you can see what people are shooting from different ranges?

Like on jumpers vs layups?
