Bad foul call. But I was glad to see Demarcus not get in face of official. Especially liked it earlier when he raised his hand immediately after called for his 3rd foul. Have to play the game with officials
So just because he is part of another blog, he cant post here?
He was posting during the whole game, not just at the end. As for the pics, different blogs have different rules and he didn’t know ours, he apologized, and its all done now.
I'm not trying to be a dick about any of this dude, nor have I been a dick in your game threads all night
I already apologized twice, so at this point, I’m questioning your literacy more than my own. Not sure what else to say. Different blogs have different rules. I’ve never posted on an SBNation blog that didn’t allow pics in game threads so this is a new one for me.
WHY IS SALMONS IN THE GAME WHY IS SALMONS IN THE GAME WHY IS SALMONS IN THE GAME WHY IS SALMONS IN THE GAME WHY IS SALMONS IN THE GAME WHY IS SALMONS IN THE GAME WHY IS SALMONS IN THE GAME WHY IS SALMONS IN THE GAME WHY IS SALMONS IN THE GAME WHY IS SALMONS IN THE GAME
Why do you get great success with your starting 5 tonight and then the WHOLE 4th quarter you rock the Chuck Hayes and John Salmons in the lineup? Go to what was working!
you put Isaiah in when there was NO time for him to do anything…sheesh.
Did we lose when we should have? Sure… but in other news, GOOD news… Jeremy Lin and the Knicks are looking like they might lose… not TOO big?… their about to lose to the Hornets…
Were not the only people hurting tonight… take a deep breathe and lets go get em’ next game.
what is up with Smart taking a month to start IT over Salmons? Its pretty clear that that brief stretch of Salmons being a closer was just an apparation. No excuse to be putting him in at the end of games instead of Thornton. Smarten up, coach
I’d have said it- make a deal and start the process this team needs to take the next step. Cut any ties possible with Salmons, and invest in your starting 5. Let the bench guys stand up.
You traded Knight for Jimmer AND SALMONS??? I know that wasn’t the actual trade but that basically how it ended up. We would have been better off taking Stephen Jackson over Salmons. At least Jackson still has some game & has more swagger in his pinky than Salmons & Jimmer combined.
Its not like its going to happen or its a possibility. It was more of respect by James and a nice gesture pretty much saying there is no love lost between him and the city for how they treated him when he left and how he treated them.
It’d be more like C-Webb leaving instead of resigning the big contract in Sacto years ago, and then wanting to return here at the end of his career. Completely different.
Of course its different, thats why they are ASKING HIM!
They don’t just ask Peja randomly after winning a title with Mavs “So Peja..any interest in returning to Kings before you retire?”
They are asking Lebron only because of all the hate there is apparently involved and he answered in a nice and positive way. Thats the nicest way to answer it aside from not answering at all!
Don’t be biased. If Bibby, Webber, Peja, etc. wanted to sign with us at 36 to retire a king, you’d welcome it.
You compared Lebron and Bibby, Peja, Webber. The big difference is, none of them ever gave Sacramento a giant middle finger like Lebron gave to Cleveland.
Thats why I am saying this. Stop thinking like a Kings fan, and think like a Cavs fan. If you want to think like a Kings fan, thats why I made that point, you would be open to their return. But if your a cavs fan, its different, because Lebron DID give them a huge middle finger and left.. so if your a Cavs fan, does Lebrons words mean anything, and would you welcome him back even to finish out his career? That was the point I was making.
Tonight’s loss sheds even the faintest glimmer of hope that the Kings had a remote possibility of making the playoffs should they start rattling off some wins.
Not that Outlaw has been great, but Salmons went from a ballhog who could at least score a bit to a total waste of a roster spot. Outlaw has had at least a couple of passable/acceptable games.
This is not rocket science its fucking basketball im really left scratching my head about this one. John Salmons is garbage whould not play more than 10 minutes EVER!!!!! So Frustrated Night All gonna go drink my sorrows away
Smart put Salmons in over Isaiah to try to slow Prince and Stuckey, but it stifled our fast break offense in the process. And o yeah, Salmons can’t guard either one of those guys.
He will defend the move, but I call wimpy coaching. Go with the guys who were responsible for generating the lead. Not to mention Isaiah plays solid man defense and even better help defense.
And it was stupid to foul with 27 seconds left and down by two points.
After the inevitable letdown/reality check that was the Phoenix game, I pretty much resigned myself to the rest of the season. From here on I’m just looking for player development, team chemistry, etc. and not worrying about wins. This is still a bad team despite their periodic teasing of good play. Another high draft pick could be big.
But certainly an EXTREMELY small sample size. I want to see where he is at the end of the year. But he could certainly do worse for teammates to pass to – Melo and Amare? A PG has to be happy with that. Provided he doesn’t care about ever getting the ball passed back to him.
When you are 10th in the MVP race on NBA.com and SportCenter is constantly talking about how he is going to change the NBA, etc. YES he is overrated. Now, when I say Overrated, I don’t mean he isn’t that good that they are claiming he is, Im simply saying, for what hes done, and how long, yes he is overrated.
Let me see him do this for the rest of the year AT LEAST, and perhaps one more season, and give it all to him all you want. But as of now, he is being overrated.
If every player was treated like Jerome James, we would have a lot of problems. Lets give Lin time to see if he keeps it up.
He’s been one of the most consistent Kings this year. I’ve been waiting several years for him to get his act together. I’d hate to see him go right when he’s finally getting it together.
The fact that DMC’s career high is only 28 shows how awful the rest of the team is at feeding Cousins the ball. He should be averaging 28 points a game on this Kings team.
That was heart breakinf seeing a team just self destruct like that
Why did Evans pump fake on the corners 3 ? Just shoot it. He has no confidense in his shot. How can it be that he hasn’t improved since his rookie year. I mean come on. Every year he supposedly is working on his j. No results,we get all excited if hr doesn’t lean back in his shot. How pathetic is that. I don’t believe someone can work on his j as much as he says he does and show no improvement. I think he is lazy . It shows in his d. He can be a great defender when he needs to be yet 90% of the time he never fights thru a screen and gives up open jumpers. I think if he hasn’t gotten it by now its atleast time to see what he is worth.
Thorton drives me crazy he is so streaky his perimeter d is sad. Constantly gets beat off the dribble. I hate the pairing of him and Evans cause having 2 guys who a lot of time ball hog kills our offense. Hoe many layups does Thompson miss every single game ? 2-3 he has awful hands I love his hustle but god him and Hickson dropping or fumbling every pass is sad.
Glad we FINALLY started Thomas why it took this long I’ll never know. Salmons gives us bad play every night I can’t believe it took 20 games to replace him. The less play making responsibilities Evans has the better we are. Cousins finally got a bunch of easy baskets tonight off guard penetration it was a real nice sight. The only players I wouldn’t trade at this point are I.T. and Cuz. Everyone else can go for the right deal. Our bench is nothing short of pathetic. J.j. is the worst he looks like a d leaguer, I’m not a fan of Hayes Your a pro athlete get your fat ass in shape. Come on dude,I can’t believe people were actually pumped we signed him. Although I was excited for Hickson and he has been worse that Hayes.
I feel bad for Cuz he plays hurt and player great dam near every night and our guard play and outside shooting is embarrassing. Hoe is it possible a NBA team shoots 40? U mean seriously. This was a tough loss we should if won,but its hard to win when u can only depend on 1 person showing up every night. This team need outside shooting consistently so bad. It’s time for a trade. Although our perimeter d was one of the most glaring factors tonight
It’s a shame that his great play is mostly being wasted. he really deserves better. I’m also worried that if the losing keeps up eventually he’s going to self destruct or turn on his teammates out of sheer frustration and disgust.
The clear point is our owners don’t seem interested in spending at the minute. I get it- but it paints a dark picture for the deadline. Maybe they’ll shock us- I hope so. But we have a 48m payroll and pieces tough to move, but full of young players with unknown upside. We are primed for a deal, but we’d have to take salary on. Something has to give.
I hate the Maloofs & for the last 5 years they tied GP’s hands. That said the Maloofs opened up the pocket book a little this year & GP gave us John Salmon, Travis Outlaw, & Chuck Hayes. That’s $57 million dollars right there. WTF??
What a game!!!
Slam_Dunk - February 17, 2012
If IT can keep this up. We will have ourselves a PG
Slam_Dunk - February 17, 2012

HeuristicLineup - February 17, 2012
BALL MOVEMENT

BALL MOVEMENT wow!!!
Howard Nevens IV - February 17, 2012
I really hope we blow the game up after the commercial break.
We need a confidence builder.
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
This has been a fun watch so far!
DiegoKing - February 17, 2012
Wooooooooo
Letsgokings13 - February 17, 2012

I’M FIRST YOU GUYS I’M SO MUCH BETTER THAN YOU
swoosh91 - February 17, 2012

VenomySnicket - February 17, 2012
Cousins is abusing Greg.
Schneezel - February 17, 2012

Schneezel - February 17, 2012

Wow fun game!
Skeptical Dawg - February 17, 2012
4-7 3PT
Love seeing this
Howard Nevens IV - February 17, 2012
Can we amnesty Salmons after this game?
Can we amnesty him at the end of the third?
VenomySnicket - February 17, 2012
New nickname for Salmons.
Amnesty.
VenomySnicket - February 17, 2012
Is that like throwing a fish back in the water after you catch it?
jveezy - February 17, 2012
Wow, "Catch and Release" is a nice nickname
RJinFairOaks - February 17, 2012
Agreed
Widowwolf - February 17, 2012
I like how as soon as Reke moved to the 3
He begins to look like a distributor. How the hell did that happen.
Ricardo Audain - February 17, 2012
Yeah weird
8 assists to 1 TO
Skeptical Dawg - February 17, 2012
Hahaha
Letsgokings13 - February 17, 2012
Jason Jones on twitter:
“Reke has 8 assts. Kings up 75-65. Beno Udrih always said he thought Reke was a better passer when he didn’t have PG duties.”
Neil Manich - February 17, 2012
NaPG
WE WERE RIGHT
swoosh91 - February 17, 2012
Beno was very wise.
Slam_Dunk - February 17, 2012
The game comes to him rather than the other way around.
Slam_Dunk - February 17, 2012
Reke passes better when he doesn't HAVE to have the ball in his hands.
VenomySnicket - February 17, 2012
JT has made some nice shots tonight.
Slam_Dunk - February 17, 2012
That's cousins, what 4th dunk of the night?
HeuristicLineup - February 17, 2012
BAKQ SPAZMZ!!!
VenomySnicket - February 17, 2012
Fired up to see Evans dish it off into the lane for his 8th assist.
ExPFCWintergreen - February 17, 2012 via iPhone app
i kinda like maxiell
AnkleMan - February 17, 2012
Same here
That guy throws down some ferocious slams
swoosh91 - February 17, 2012
nice move demarcus
coldjacket - February 17, 2012
i told you monroe couldnt guard cousins
AnkleMan - February 17, 2012
i dont know who i'm talking to but i definately told myself that at least
AnkleMan - February 17, 2012
Monroe couldn't guard Luke Walton.
VenomySnicket - February 17, 2012
Team
Basketball is fun to watch
Howard Nevens IV - February 17, 2012
How's Knight been this game?
I wanted us to draft him. :|
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
50 cent is going off on us
AnkleMan - February 17, 2012
come on, im with peaches, that was a foul
AnkleMan - February 17, 2012
No, no we need to make some stops here.
Slam_Dunk - February 17, 2012
No call, Cuz fouled
kman949 - February 17, 2012
whew, reke swish
AnkleMan - February 17, 2012
57% shooting for the Kings
I can’t remember how long its been since I’ve heard that.
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
Yeah, this is incredible.
VenomySnicket - February 17, 2012
Getting sloppy
Skeptical Dawg - February 17, 2012
How was that not a foul?
VenomySnicket - February 17, 2012
If Tyreke can start pulling down some rebounds he can get a triple double tonight
HeuristicLineup - February 17, 2012
Every time the Kings look like they're about to blow this game open
The Pistons get some big stops.
Neil Manich - February 17, 2012
We've got to be careful here
Slam_Dunk - February 17, 2012
omfg every time we get a lead
AnkleMan - February 17, 2012
lolwat?
blocking??
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
It's amazing how fast the ball gets up the court
with IT at the 1 compared to Tyreke…
SayWhat? - February 17, 2012
Darn, they are back into the game.
Slam_Dunk - February 17, 2012
Horrible call
Scirocco - February 17, 2012
4 on Cousins
Skeptical Dawg - February 17, 2012
No way
Terrible call.
Neil Manich - February 17, 2012
Another bad call
kman949 - February 17, 2012
WHAT A TERRIBLE FUCKING CALL
Letsgokings13 - February 17, 2012
omg that’s not a blocking foul!
cuad - February 17, 2012
ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
oh my god 1 point game are you kidding me
AnkleMan - February 17, 2012
I'm so sick of these goddamn reputation calls.
Call the game straight up.
VenomySnicket - February 17, 2012
arrrgh.
the’ve been allowing mini runs when they get a good lead.
coldjacket - February 17, 2012
The only reason this is a game is because of our own stupidity
Scirocco - February 17, 2012
And two awful terrible calls.
VenomySnicket - February 17, 2012
Yep
Neil Manich - February 17, 2012
wow... is that the 4th 11 point lead we've dwindled away?
AnkleMan - February 17, 2012
we should be up 44 points
AnkleMan - February 17, 2012
The only logical conclusion
VenomySnicket - February 17, 2012
That's the only homecourt advantage that team will get.
No one is there.
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
ugh get back on defense!
Skeptical Dawg - February 17, 2012
Lol @ Jason Thompson completely unaware. It’s time for Jimma + Thornton.
cuad - February 17, 2012
I'm not quite sure why that Black Keys commercial is so entertaining
HeuristicLineup - February 17, 2012
Because you jump up and start dancing. We know.
Bill2 - February 17, 2012
I've had his dance down pack almost since the first commercial
HeuristicLineup - February 17, 2012
Salmons time!
Letsgokings13 - February 17, 2012
Bad foul call. But I was glad to see Demarcus not get in face of official. Especially liked it earlier when he raised his hand immediately after called for his 3rd foul. Have to play the game with officials
ExPFCWintergreen - February 17, 2012 via iPhone app
Nice replay, Prince was holding JTs arm
No foul call
kman949 - February 17, 2012
What?
What was that?
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
omg Tayshaun Prince fouled JT.
cuad - February 17, 2012
Reke
DiegoKing - February 17, 2012
lol now wer're just gonna build a lead again arent we
AnkleMan - February 17, 2012
ok fine maybe not
AnkleMan - February 17, 2012
let's hope
DiegoKing - February 17, 2012
............fade..........
X_47 - February 17, 2012
Jerebko is like 100lbs lighter than thompson
AnkleMan - February 17, 2012
And 1 JT
kman949 - February 17, 2012
JT
Slam_Dunk - February 17, 2012
Evans is dishing em tonight, sweetness.
DiegoKing - February 17, 2012
And he's not our point guard!
swoosh91 - February 17, 2012
this
DiegoKing - February 17, 2012
No Evans! Post him up.
cuad - February 17, 2012
Tayshaun just goes to work
Neil Manich - February 17, 2012
JT tha KIDD
Victor Yang - February 17, 2012
I like Jerebko but he can't guard Thompson
VenomySnicket - February 17, 2012
thornton the bowling ball
AnkleMan - February 17, 2012
MT is on fire tonight
Slam_Dunk - February 17, 2012
I disagree, Det announcers, I think JT has found a nice place in the NBA.
VenomySnicket - February 17, 2012
What did they say?
raiderking21 - February 17, 2012
Just that we should be disappointed in his development.
With how many big men turn out to be complete busts, I really like JT. He’s found a job to do, and he does it.
VenomySnicket - February 17, 2012
Plus,
We drafted him out of Ryder. I mean, come on. It was between him or Randolph. We got the good one.
Neil Manich - February 17, 2012
And I really really wanted Randolph
ducks
VenomySnicket - February 17, 2012
and then proceeded to clone a Randolph/Mikki Moore hybrid in the form of JJ Hickson
just to torture ourselves
wallywagon11 - February 17, 2012
Agreed
His development has been pretty impressive all things considered.
raiderking21 - February 17, 2012
Yeah
That line made me double take too. JT is a great contributor.
Neil Manich - February 17, 2012
JT is okay. He has established his place this season.
Slam_Dunk - February 17, 2012
What would it take to save Prince from Detroit?
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
Salmons and Hickson?
VenomySnicket - February 17, 2012
I'd do it.
No hesitation.
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
"Hey, can we have your best player for years for our two worst players?"
“We’ll give you Outlaw if it’s not enough.”
Neil Manich - February 17, 2012
Shhh...
You’re ruining my happy time.
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
Prince is getting on in age.
Slam_Dunk - February 17, 2012
Thorton had JT on the wing still went to rack
kman949 - February 17, 2012
oh come on you got blocked by stuckey
AnkleMan - February 17, 2012
Nice drive MT!
cuad - February 17, 2012
Who knew every shot would be a layup.
VenomySnicket - February 17, 2012
Remember that game against the Nuggets earlier this month?
DiegoKing - February 17, 2012
Sloppy
MT23 GOT BAILED OUT
Howard Nevens IV - February 17, 2012
Kings finally get a call
kman949 - February 17, 2012
i wanna play against/with marcus thornton
it looks like it would be fun
AnkleMan - February 17, 2012
JT is bricking all his lay ups for the first time in a while.
cuad - February 17, 2012
LP replay is showing fouls on every attempt
kman949 - February 17, 2012
Still hate how tyreke drives into nothing and makes a terrible play/pass
Letsgokings13 - February 17, 2012
foul on JT on that replay
Victor Yang - February 17, 2012
Crap… Outlaw is in the game.
cuad - February 17, 2012
You know your team sucks when the talent disparity between Jason Thompson and his backups is a gigantic gap.
VenomySnicket - February 17, 2012
that is pretty funny
watching the kings every night if making JT look like an all-star
AnkleMan - February 17, 2012
How does stucky get all the way to the basket
Pathetic D
Scirocco - February 17, 2012
DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH DERRRRRRPPPPPPPPPP
Letsgokings13 - February 17, 2012
Charge?
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
These officials hate purple.
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
aLL OFFICIALS HATE kINGS PURPLE
Letsgokings13 - February 17, 2012
Caps Lock?
raiderking21 - February 17, 2012

DiegoKing - February 17, 2012
omg block that shot Outlaw. don’t foul!
cuad - February 17, 2012
i must not have been paying attention,
who’s been guarding stuckey? Thornton
AnkleMan - February 17, 2012
oh my god
AnkleMan - February 17, 2012
High scoring game
DiegoKing - February 17, 2012
Geez, another questionable call
on Thorton
kman949 - February 17, 2012
That’s what happens when ur PG isn’t dribbling it up the floor.
cuad - February 17, 2012
Thats What We All Knew Was Coming
The Dreaded BAD QUARTER of basketball its okay its over now
Howard Nevens IV - February 17, 2012
Its always the 3rd qt too
Letsgokings13 - February 17, 2012
Hopefully, we end strong.
Slam_Dunk - February 17, 2012
that was not a blocking
Victor Yang - February 17, 2012
These piston announcer suck.
mjjr42002 - February 17, 2012
Some weak ass calls this game not infavor of us AGAIN
Letsgokings13 - February 17, 2012
Lin is on pace for a possible triple double
10 points 8 turnovers 4 assists at half
HeuristicLineup - February 17, 2012
You dont know how sck I am of hearing about him. PLease, Im in a Kings thread. Please, nothing but Kings
Letsgokings13 - February 17, 2012
Most of his games are like that
But if they win, it won’t matter too much.
raiderking21 - February 17, 2012
Plus
turnovers are expected from a young guard. It’s the kind of thing that gets better with experience.
Neil Manich - February 17, 2012
LOL
HeuristicLineup - February 17, 2012
Lol
Wait, do TOs really count?
swoosh91 - February 17, 2012
It's a joke lol
raiderking21 - February 17, 2012
Damn it!
swoosh91 - February 17, 2012
I love hearing about Lin.
Slam_Dunk - February 17, 2012
Stucky is on his way to a 40 point game.
Bill2 - February 17, 2012
We'll get him in a couple years.
King-killers get paid well here.
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
I'm gonna be really disappointed if we lose this one.
It feels as if we should be up by at least 10
monsterlxe - February 17, 2012
So what's a block on Cousins is considered a charged drawn by Stuckey?
Okay.
Ricardo Audain - February 17, 2012
You know what I love? Evans has 9 assists not playing PG. That is such a weapon.
cuad - February 17, 2012
whats up with the no-donte tonight?
AnkleMan - February 17, 2012
he lost rock paper scissors to Outlaw
Portland's Cowboy fan - February 17, 2012
Showcase
Outlaw for value Trade bait
Howard Nevens IV - February 17, 2012
You know, there is very little variation in jerseys in today's NBA.
I miss when there was a very particular look for teams.
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
They look a lot less silly.
But sometimes I like the silliness.
jveezy - February 17, 2012
You want the raps to get the jersey with the raptors on them back?
Neil Manich - February 17, 2012
I miss the silliness.
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
FOUL
Letsgokings13 - February 17, 2012
Tie-game...
OH BOY
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
tied ball game
DiegoKing - February 17, 2012
Outlaw is so fucking awful
HeuristicLineup - February 17, 2012
Outlaw is is so gosh darn horrid.
DiegoKing - February 17, 2012
JIMMER TIME
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
Nice move Jimmer!
HeuristicLineup - February 17, 2012
Who says Jimmer isn't quick?
Granted it was against Jerebko but still
raiderking21 - February 17, 2012
So what draft pick do you think we will get this year?
is it possible to get screwed in the lottery 4 years in a row?
kenji24 - February 17, 2012
yes
Slam_Dunk - February 17, 2012
it's a foregone conclusion they'll be getting the shaft
DiegoKing - February 17, 2012
Kings need a hot hand
kman949 - February 17, 2012
RISE THE HOT HAND
VenomySnicket - February 17, 2012
NOOOOOOOOOOOO
Slam_Dunk - February 17, 2012
Dafuq?
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
Jimmer with the layup!
VenomySnicket - February 17, 2012
How did that end well?
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
GO JIMMA
cuad - February 17, 2012
Wtf happened?
X_47 - February 17, 2012
Outlaw
DiegoKing - February 17, 2012
Bullshit call
kman949 - February 17, 2012
Wow...
HeuristicLineup - February 17, 2012
Bullshit call
They didn’t let Thornton take a step
raiderking21 - February 17, 2012
this
A Night At The Arco - February 17, 2012
That's a f'n carry.
VenomySnicket - February 17, 2012
Wow, that's a veteran play.
Not many centers would stay behind to try to take a charge.
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
Yep
swoosh91 - February 17, 2012
These fouls are sickening
Letsgokings13 - February 17, 2012
wow
X_47 - February 17, 2012
dmc!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Howard Nevens IV - February 17, 2012
Cuz!!
AkaP - February 17, 2012
Pistons just used up all their breaks for game
kman949 - February 17, 2012
Seriously.
VenomySnicket - February 17, 2012
Cuz has a double - double
Glad his back is okay
Slam_Dunk - February 17, 2012
LOL
Gordon crossed himself
raiderking21 - February 17, 2012
I just gotta say...
Cousins is so very good to have on our team. So glad we picked him over Monroe. AND he’s injured.
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
Should've gone number 1 easily in my book.
Letsgokings13 - February 17, 2012
Yep. He always said he should have been number one.
Slam_Dunk - February 17, 2012
Blatche, McGee and Cousins?
That sounds appetizing…
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
Cousins looks awesome in Slow Motion.
VenomySnicket - February 17, 2012
That was actually very cool.
VenomySnicket - February 17, 2012
Speaking of hot hands
Why is Thornton sitting for this long?
RJinFairOaks - February 17, 2012
He's in
raiderking21 - February 17, 2012
Well he was until after the backcourt charge
He hasn’t been sitting long
raiderking21 - February 17, 2012
We Have
John Salmons Relax
Howard Nevens IV - February 17, 2012
ಠ_à²
swoosh91 - February 17, 2012
No lanes to basket
kman949 - February 17, 2012
Could You Imagine
How bad this could have been without Cuz i quiver when i think about it
Howard Nevens IV - February 17, 2012
Cousins 20-10
Monroe 3 – 6
HeuristicLineup - February 17, 2012
And to think his red flags made Monroe look like a viable choice at 5.
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
Whatever you do - don't look at the mole.
Slam_Dunk - February 17, 2012
These are the kinds of games I'm tired of losing
Neil Manich - February 17, 2012
We do well in close (5) games
ElRonToro - February 17, 2012
Cuz with 20-10-3, nice.
DiegoKing - February 17, 2012
Can we get our original starting 5 in the game? Or within the next minute or two max?
Tyro18 - February 17, 2012
PLEASE?
Letsgokings13 - February 17, 2012
That awkward moment.
When a waxing banner hangs below the dance squad.
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
Go up there and get it Cuz.
He’s the only one who seems to be moving.
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
DMC
Such a BEAST!!!
Howard Nevens IV - February 17, 2012
Cousins fouled.
Slam_Dunk - February 17, 2012
Cuz domination!
kman949 - February 17, 2012
Oh no. He missed one.
Slam_Dunk - February 17, 2012
your like 10 seconds ahead of me... how? you watching in sacramento?
Tyro18 - February 17, 2012
Monster
Tyro18 - February 17, 2012
Maybe 6 years ago ben... haha
Tyro18 - February 17, 2012
Michael Jordan is almost fifty.
That’s so weird…
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
Aaaaaand just like that I feel old.
jveezy - February 17, 2012
Reminds me of how old I'm getting...
DiegoKing - February 17, 2012
I bet he'd be a better 3 than Salmons right now.
swoosh91 - February 17, 2012
easily.
DiegoKing - February 17, 2012
Who?
I refuse to acknowledge that player’s existence.
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
DMC rebound MACHINE
Letsgokings13 - February 17, 2012
Wow... Now that's something to hear...
Cousins was 5 years old when Ben Wallace was arookie
HeuristicLineup - February 17, 2012
Demarcus walking through Ben like that would have meant something a few years ago
It’s still cool now.
Neil Manich - February 17, 2012
aww hayes come on are you serious
AnkleMan - February 17, 2012
wtf was that Cousins?
cuad - February 17, 2012
some one save us
tyreke thornton cousins someone
AnkleMan - February 17, 2012
Point Blank Chuch!
get it together fat man
kman949 - February 17, 2012
Yeah that was pretty bad. But he is not known for his shooting.
Slam_Dunk - February 17, 2012
thats not even a shot. its a push
Letsgokings13 - February 17, 2012
Hayes mustve been too far from the rim. within 4 feet
Letsgokings13 - February 17, 2012
Man,
I don’t expect much from Chuck on offense, but we really need him to hit open 6 foooters.
Neil Manich - February 17, 2012
IT Please
Ball movement needed
Howard Nevens IV - February 17, 2012
That was a pretty freethrow.
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
The kid can shoot
HeuristicLineup - February 17, 2012
I don’t like when Cousins gets the ball far from the hoop.
cuad - February 17, 2012
We are letting them make too many baskets.
Slam_Dunk - February 17, 2012
I'm glad we're going to Cousins down the stretch.
He’s our most consistent option.
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
wow. what a bad call
X_47 - February 17, 2012
Jimmer is playing well
HeuristicLineup - February 17, 2012
Smart play by Jimmer.
Hate it when Fisher always did it. But I’m okay with it this time.
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
Of Course you are
Howard Nevens IV - February 17, 2012
DMC needs to start that move out further
kman949 - February 17, 2012
Smart Jimmer
Great job to get the call getting smarter
Howard Nevens IV - February 17, 2012
Wow, a little luck falls our wayl
Slam_Dunk - February 17, 2012
Jimma still schoolin’ college players lol.
cuad - February 17, 2012
Oh dont like it pistons fans? KICK ROCKS
Letsgokings13 - February 17, 2012
Pound sand
Slam_Dunk - February 17, 2012
And they can suck a railroad spike
Letsgokings13 - February 17, 2012
Harsh, guys.
jveezy - February 17, 2012
Jimmer looks more confident tonight.
Slam_Dunk - February 17, 2012
Playin well, even on D
kman949 - February 17, 2012
Fun Question: How many of those Cheerleaders know who Jimmer is?
Lets just say there is 20 cheerleaders…. how many know him? lol im curious.
Tyro18 - February 17, 2012
If they aren't deaf, all of them
They said his name over the loud speakers.
HeuristicLineup - February 17, 2012
You don't know someone just by knowing their name.
Im talking about knowing what he does and what he is known for.
Tyro18 - February 17, 2012
Nobody bothers big Cuz
Slam_Dunk - February 17, 2012
Westphal
cuad - February 17, 2012
LEFT HAND!?!?!
X_47 - February 17, 2012
Stuckey coming back...
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
Tyreke went left????
TYREKE WENT LEFTT?
Scirocco - February 17, 2012
One look?! One LOOK?!
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
There it is
MAGNUM
swoosh91 - February 17, 2012
This game should be the perfect test of Lawler's Law
RJinFairOaks - February 17, 2012
Evans showin’ all of y’all the left hand.
cuad - February 17, 2012
Maybe Tayshaun has stuck with the Pistons so long
Because he doesn’t want to give up the nickname “The Palace Prince.” It’s almost to perfect to walk away from.
Neil Manich - February 17, 2012
lol Jimma.
cuad - February 17, 2012
Jimmer has absolutely zero idea what to do on a fast break
HeuristicLineup - February 17, 2012
Ok smart, your pissing me off. Please put the starting 5 in.
Tyro18 - February 17, 2012
I think that should do it for Jimmer
Scirocco - February 17, 2012
Foul harder next time
Slam_Dunk - February 17, 2012
Nice play Reke. Well done.
Neil Manich - February 17, 2012
This is getting scary
Slam_Dunk - February 17, 2012
Knight with 18 points?
Why exactly did we trade back in the draft? I liked Jimmer but seriously, why didn’t we just take him at 7th?
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
how lazy have nicknames gotten? BK7? REALLY?
X_47 - February 17, 2012
over at DBB, we prefer:
The Boourns - February 17, 2012
Shit, I rec'd this before realizing it wasn't Isiah Thomas
UNREC. DIE TROLL.
darooster - February 17, 2012
He's been posting in the threads since the game started
I don’t think Boourns is trolling
swoosh91 - February 17, 2012
no pics in the game thread
X_47 - February 17, 2012
A Detroit douche
Just happy his miserable team won a game in front of DOZENS of adoring fans.
darooster - February 17, 2012
no need to get angry.
He is new and doesn’t know the rules. Take it easy on him.
X_47 - February 17, 2012
Got 8000+ posts on the Det SBN blog
And now posting photos in a Kings thread. Pretty sure that’s trolling, dude
darooster - February 17, 2012
So just because he is part of another blog, he cant post here?
He was posting during the whole game, not just at the end. As for the pics, different blogs have different rules and he didn’t know ours, he apologized, and its all done now.
X_47 - February 17, 2012
He's posting pics of a Pistons player after the Pistons win
Seems like gloating to me
darooster - February 17, 2012
In response to a comment i wrote about Brandon Knights nickname.
It was relevant to the comment. Unnecessary? Yes. Trolling/Gloating? No.
X_47 - February 17, 2012
Well, agree to disagree I guess
I say trolling/gloating, you say not.
Regardless, Kings should have won, John Salmons sucks, #SayYes, Go Kings, let’s all go get drunk.
darooster - February 17, 2012
shoot...sorry didn't realize that wa a rule around here.
The Boourns - February 17, 2012
To go along with...Monrobocop
when Moose is at home:
Or Monroad Warrior on the road:
The Boourns - February 17, 2012
again apologies. Didn't see that pics aren't allowed in game threads until after I posted this.
The Boourns - February 17, 2012
Cant read?
X_47 - February 17, 2012
I'm not trying to be a dick about any of this dude, nor have I been a dick in your game threads all night
I already apologized twice, so at this point, I’m questioning your literacy more than my own. Not sure what else to say. Different blogs have different rules. I’ve never posted on an SBNation blog that didn’t allow pics in game threads so this is a new one for me.
The Boourns - February 17, 2012
Did I mention he was a Detroit douche?
Yeah
darooster - February 17, 2012
I posted that before you posted your comment.
X_47 - February 17, 2012
We're good
apologize for the hot heads
ElRonToro - February 17, 2012
and the only reason I posted any of them was because I saw some beautiful photo-shopping from your community in the preview thread.
I thought you all might appreciate the quality.
The Boourns - February 17, 2012
No problem with that, but this isnt the place for it.
X_47 - February 17, 2012
K, it’s time for Isaiah and MT to come back for Jimma and Salmons.
cuad - February 17, 2012
Cuz
DiegoKing - February 17, 2012
Jammer played well I thought
sacman - February 17, 2012
Jimmer
sacman - February 17, 2012
Here comes our 11-2 run!
HeuristicLineup - February 17, 2012
That was a beautiful shot on the instant replay.
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
Nice TO Pistons
kman949 - February 17, 2012
NaPG
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
Tyreke Evans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Howard Nevens IV - February 17, 2012
Tyreke
Slam_Dunk - February 17, 2012
Ha
Letsgokings13 - February 17, 2012
I hope tyreke doesn't hog it every possesion
sacman - February 17, 2012
Are they really not going to let Isaiah finish the game?
cuad - February 17, 2012
he's in
DiegoKing - February 17, 2012
Great look by Cousins.
And… Knight… Fuck.
Schneezel - February 17, 2012

Slam_Dunk - February 17, 2012
Marcus has to learn to pass on the break.
VirginiaBlue - February 17, 2012
Thorton wasted that layup
kman949 - February 17, 2012
Why isn't IT in?
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
CUZ
Victor Yang - February 17, 2012
Why is he shooting that at this point in the game? No 1-4 flat please.
RJinFairOaks - February 17, 2012
No one could find a shot in the first 16 seconds of the shot clock
Evans tried to do something in limited time.
raiderking21 - February 17, 2012
no offense to Reke, but I'd prefer any of the other four currently on the court shooting a contested jumper
over Reke shooting a 3.
RJinFairOaks - February 17, 2012
Not giving excuses
You asked why? I answered (:
raiderking21 - February 17, 2012
you have to be shitting me
X_47 - February 17, 2012
Brandon Knight is pooping all over Jimmer right now.
cuad - February 17, 2012
Jimmer isn't even in?
HeuristicLineup - February 17, 2012
he did a run-by over by the bench
X_47 - February 17, 2012
....We deserve to lose.
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
We suck
sacman - February 17, 2012
Crap
Slam_Dunk - February 17, 2012
Fucking Kings. It never ceases to amaze me.
Tyro18 - February 17, 2012
Stuckey dagger
kman949 - February 17, 2012
How the hell was that the dagger? LOL
HeuristicLineup - February 17, 2012
Low expectations apparently
raiderking21 - February 17, 2012
Wow Thornton really?
And what the hell was that last possession?
Scirocco - February 17, 2012
close-out defense.
VirginiaBlue - February 17, 2012

I laugh at yours all the time!

Oh I do
You just never see or hear me.

There is still time to turn this around.

wow
Letsgokings13 - February 17, 2012
Plenty Of Time
Just play smart
Howard Nevens IV - February 17, 2012
I'd hate to see Cousins after this game if we lose.
He’s playing his ass off with a bad back and we still lose? This is going to be a test of his progress under Smart.
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
WE LOSE FUCK IT
Victor Yang - February 17, 2012
WTF is wrong with you guys?
X_47 - February 17, 2012
Kings history. Late game run for other team = kings lose
Letsgokings13 - February 17, 2012
Hey nice game Kings. This wasnt surprising or anything
Letsgokings13 - February 17, 2012
There is still a lot of time on the clock
Slam_Dunk - February 17, 2012
I've had it with this team...
kenji24 - February 17, 2012
What are you gonna do?
What’s the plan?
DiegoKing - February 17, 2012
complain and watch their games anyways
kenji24 - February 17, 2012
So.....the same plan as the rest of us, got it.
:)
DiegoKing - February 17, 2012
So true LOL
kman949 - February 17, 2012
God damn we can NOT defend the pick and roll
Scirocco - February 17, 2012
21/10 by Knight.
Career highs, do you think its possible that he holds some sort of grudge with us for not taking him?
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
No. Just another player getting career highs against us
Letsgokings13 - February 17, 2012
Or there are a whole bunch of players on each team that holds a grudge against us for some reason
swoosh91 - February 17, 2012
FIRE PETRIE
kenji24 - February 17, 2012
Not saying we should fire Petrie.
Its the same deal with DeMarcus and the Nyets.
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
Cousins is the only reason why this isn't a blowout.
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
Cousins is the star of this team, no doubt about it.
Still love much of the rest of our cast, but DMC is our blue chipper.
RJinFairOaks - February 17, 2012
it's impossible to win a championship with
Your best player being a big man and no one else being consistent
2001nbachampions - February 17, 2012 via iPhone app
DEFENSE!!!!!!!
Howard Nevens IV - February 17, 2012
All right guys, not over yet.
Close, but not yet.
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
We needed that!
Slam_Dunk - February 17, 2012
Reke
DiegoKing - February 17, 2012
Nba Where Amazing Happens
Kenny " the jet" Smith picked us for 8th spot in the playoffs this season
P.S
We should have drafted Brandon Knight!
Victor Yang - February 17, 2012
He picked us for the 8th spot last year too....
DiegoKing - February 17, 2012
Calipari's kids come out of college pretty damn good.
As shown by many people here wanting Kidd-Gilchrist.
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
We've given up on Honycutt already?!
We haven’t even seen him play significant minutes yet!
swoosh91 - February 17, 2012
We would have.
If we had held our lead.
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
No, but we're not gonna keep Salmons and Garcia forever
Or Outlaw, or possibly Greene
raiderking21 - February 17, 2012
HEY EVERYONE, THIS GUY FELL FOR IT!
swoosh91 - February 17, 2012
Damn you!
Gotta look closer next time
raiderking21 - February 17, 2012
P.S. T'wolves should've drafted Cousins
P.S. Memphis should’ve drafted Evans. I could do this all day.
raiderking21 - February 17, 2012
One interesting thing
Thornton is getting absolutely ROASTED on defense. We need him to AT LEAST be average.
Scirocco - February 17, 2012
This loss is entirely on Smart for playing Salmons over IT.
cuad - February 17, 2012
we need this game!!
cowboyron96@yahoo.com - February 17, 2012

Cousins and Thornton arguing and Tyreke breaking it up?
Hm?…
Tyro18 - February 17, 2012
Thornton has sucked on D
Scirocco - February 17, 2012
Because Thornton is the damn reason they keep scoring.
Letsgokings13 - February 17, 2012
Get Salmons out.
Now.
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
iT in we win
ElRonToro - February 17, 2012
oh the hopes
2001nbachampions - February 17, 2012 via iPhone app
Thornton seemed irritated at being taken out just now
ExPFCWintergreen - February 17, 2012 via iPhone app
Oh well. Maybe his ass should play some D.

raiderking21 - February 17, 2012
Game over.
Cousin and Evans are the only Kings that I’d trust with the ball and neither shoots threes.
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
*makes threes
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
jimm3r is our best 3 er
2001nbachampions - February 17, 2012 via iPhone app
Take a 3.
Whether they make 2 free throws or not were in it… but we need to make it obviously.
Tyro18 - February 17, 2012
this game is a sick joke
im not sure if it just happened or not
AnkleMan - February 17, 2012
4th quarter Kings offense was "clutchy"
We’ve seen this too many times.

This one is on Smart for keeping IT on the bench so long and leaving Salmons in too long.

kman949 - February 17, 2012

Why do you get great success with your starting 5 tonight and then the WHOLE 4th quarter you rock the Chuck Hayes and John Salmons in the lineup? Go to what was working!
you put Isaiah in when there was NO time for him to do anything…sheesh.
Tyro18 - February 17, 2012
I think because MT couldn't guard Stucky
Neither could Salmons though it looks
Allbenji - February 17, 2012 via mobile
Apparently no one on the roster could
Considering his season average is 13.8 ppg
darooster - February 17, 2012
Yea, and THEY couldn't guard IT...Salmons is an easier guard than IT.
Tyro18 - February 17, 2012
Missed the game but tonight's losers
Were salmons and thornton D?
J.R 50 - February 17, 2012 via mobile
More than that but yeah, that's the gist of it.
DiegoKing - February 17, 2012
Sub in Jimmer for Salmons and yes
If you keep everything the same, and take away the several diamond lanes that Stuckey and Knight got, its a Kings win
Scirocco - February 17, 2012
Salmons was not the only problem. Our entire bench sucks. When the starters put us up buy a 10 the bench gave it away.
mjjr42002 - February 17, 2012
Trade Marcus, trade anyone.
Seriously, MAKE A FREAKING MOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
KevinSalvadori - February 17, 2012
Thornton and Demarcus are a bit tiffed at each other.
Cousins, Evans, Thompson, and IT are the only players I’d bother keeping from this team… Jimmer played smart tonight, but I wish we’d taken Knight.
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
Good.
This team may need to fight to figure out they can’t do it without each other. Seriously, GET A FREAKING VET IN HERE TO LEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
KevinSalvadori - February 17, 2012
Hayes was supposed to be the veteran.
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
We do have vet!!!!
Salmons!!!

Oh yeah, how'd I forget the firebrand small forward with a chip on his shoulder.

Yep. We couldn't defend those perimeter guys. That was the story.
Slam_Dunk - February 17, 2012
DeMarcus Cousins was supposed to be out this game
And puts up 26 and 10. Salmons has been healthy for every game and has been horrific. Oy.
darooster - February 17, 2012
The most depressing part of this is our prospects for the trade-deadline.
We have no pieces we can trade and the Maloofs aren’t going to take on any sort of extra salary after hearing they have to pay 60 million up front.
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
EVERYONE!!!!!!
Did we lose when we should have? Sure… but in other news, GOOD news… Jeremy Lin and the Knicks are looking like they might lose… not TOO big?… their about to lose to the Hornets…

Not so Smart after all
what is up with Smart taking a month to start IT over Salmons? Its pretty clear that that brief stretch of Salmons being a closer was just an apparation. No excuse to be putting him in at the end of games instead of Thornton. Smarten up, coach
convoy - February 17, 2012
Just sent DeMArcus a tweet apologizing that no one on this team can step up and help hi out. And I asked him to kill Salmons

Win or lose,
I’d have said it- make a deal and start the process this team needs to take the next step. Cut any ties possible with Salmons, and invest in your starting 5. Let the bench guys stand up.
KevinSalvadori - February 17, 2012

kman949 - February 17, 2012
Petrie should be fired
You traded Knight for Jimmer AND SALMONS??? I know that wasn’t the actual trade but that basically how it ended up. We would have been better off taking Stephen Jackson over Salmons. At least Jackson still has some game & has more swagger in his pinky than Salmons & Jimmer combined.
Allbenji - February 17, 2012 via mobile
Knight AND Beno
can’t forget Beno
deadenddude - February 17, 2012
Yes yes yes
Love jimmer but he was a luxury pick
J.R 50 - February 17, 2012 via mobile
I think we are pretty much in agreement that Petrie messed up big time.
Slam_Dunk - February 17, 2012
Really though, could anyone have known Salmons would be THIS bad?
The guy has always been good for 15 PPG or so. I don’t think anyone honestly thought he’d suddenly struggle to get 5 PPG.
deadenddude - February 17, 2012

Guys
What is this bullshit about LeBron wanting to return to Cleveland? I know it’s unrelated but seriously?
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
Well, he didn't necessarily say that.
He was more saying when his contract is up, or after he finishes one more contract, maybe he could retire a Cavalier…
I think its more being respectful to the Cavs fans..its not like hes acting Riley to trade him there.
Tyro18 - February 17, 2012
asking*
I can’t type today.
Tyro18 - February 17, 2012
It'll be a warm day in Cleveland before that happens.
Schneezel - February 17, 2012
So...okay.
I’m sure the Cavs will love to sign a 36-year old LeBron. What a primadonna.
KevinSalvadori - February 17, 2012
Don't be biased. If Bibby, Webber, Peja, etc. wanted to sign with us at 36 to retire a king, you'd welcome it.
Think of how Cavs fans might feel, except with a better player. Lebron James.
Tyro18 - February 17, 2012
LeBron will be as good as Salmons at 36.
KevinSalvadori - February 17, 2012
Hahahha... I look forward to that day. Nobody can be like Salmons..
Especially Lebron at 36.
Tyro18 - February 17, 2012
And I already stated.
Its not like its going to happen or its a possibility. It was more of respect by James and a nice gesture pretty much saying there is no love lost between him and the city for how they treated him when he left and how he treated them.
Tyro18 - February 17, 2012
Totally different idea, man
It’d be more like C-Webb leaving instead of resigning the big contract in Sacto years ago, and then wanting to return here at the end of his career. Completely different.
darooster - February 17, 2012
Of course its different, thats why they are ASKING HIM!
They don’t just ask Peja randomly after winning a title with Mavs “So Peja..any interest in returning to Kings before you retire?”
They are asking Lebron only because of all the hate there is apparently involved and he answered in a nice and positive way. Thats the nicest way to answer it aside from not answering at all!
Tyro18 - February 17, 2012
Yes, but that was not your original point
You compared Lebron and Bibby, Peja, Webber. The big difference is, none of them ever gave Sacramento a giant middle finger like Lebron gave to Cleveland.
darooster - February 17, 2012
Yes,...AGAIN
Thats why I am saying this. Stop thinking like a Kings fan, and think like a Cavs fan. If you want to think like a Kings fan, thats why I made that point, you would be open to their return. But if your a cavs fan, its different, because Lebron DID give them a huge middle finger and left.. so if your a Cavs fan, does Lebrons words mean anything, and would you welcome him back even to finish out his career? That was the point I was making.
Tyro18 - February 17, 2012
I think your original point came across incorrectly
Because this post is COMPLETELY the opposite of what you originally wrote. But OK.
darooster - February 17, 2012
I'd take a 36 year old Bron Bron over
Salmons anyday.

Tyro18 - February 17, 2012
Actually they should turn their back
Letsgokings13 - February 17, 2012
Salmons has been much worse than Outlaw
Not that Outlaw has been great, but Salmons went from a ballhog who could at least score a bit to a total waste of a roster spot. Outlaw has had at least a couple of passable/acceptable games.
darooster - February 17, 2012
Its Simple
IT= Ball Movement
No IT= No Ball Movement
This is not rocket science its fucking basketball im really left scratching my head about this one. John Salmons is garbage whould not play more than 10 minutes EVER!!!!! So Frustrated Night All gonna go drink my sorrows away

DiegoKing - February 17, 2012
Don't forget
Knight + Beno – Salmons & Jimmer = ball movement
Allbenji - February 17, 2012 via mobile
Hear Ya
Smart put Salmons in over Isaiah to try to slow Prince and Stuckey, but it stifled our fast break offense in the process. And o yeah, Salmons can’t guard either one of those guys.
He will defend the move, but I call wimpy coaching. Go with the guys who were responsible for generating the lead. Not to mention Isaiah plays solid man defense and even better help defense.
And it was stupid to foul with 27 seconds left and down by two points.
bench_blob - February 17, 2012
There was a lot of good in that game, unfortunately we could stop them from scoring.
Slam_Dunk - February 17, 2012
I'm really not too bummed
After the inevitable letdown/reality check that was the Phoenix game, I pretty much resigned myself to the rest of the season. From here on I’m just looking for player development, team chemistry, etc. and not worrying about wins. This is still a bad team despite their periodic teasing of good play. Another high draft pick could be big.
deadenddude - February 17, 2012
on another note
WTF are the hornets wearing?
X_47 - February 17, 2012
By the way...
Knicks down 2 with a minute left…they came back.
SportCenter wont stop talking if Knicks come back and Lin wins it…
God, please let them lose.
Tyro18 - February 17, 2012
Up 5 with 33 seconds...looks better.
Tyro18 - February 17, 2012
Lots of rooting against the Kicks and Lin
I guess I’m one of the few around here that’s rooting for them.
deadenddude - February 17, 2012
Lin is absolutely overrated. Thats why Im sick of all the talk.
Tyro18 - February 17, 2012
I don't know if he's overrated, personally
But certainly an EXTREMELY small sample size. I want to see where he is at the end of the year. But he could certainly do worse for teammates to pass to – Melo and Amare? A PG has to be happy with that. Provided he doesn’t care about ever getting the ball passed back to him.
darooster - February 17, 2012
Very overrated.
When you are 10th in the MVP race on NBA.com and SportCenter is constantly talking about how he is going to change the NBA, etc. YES he is overrated. Now, when I say Overrated, I don’t mean he isn’t that good that they are claiming he is, Im simply saying, for what hes done, and how long, yes he is overrated.
Let me see him do this for the rest of the year AT LEAST, and perhaps one more season, and give it all to him all you want. But as of now, he is being overrated.
If every player was treated like Jerome James, we would have a lot of problems. Lets give Lin time to see if he keeps it up.
Tyro18 - February 17, 2012
I love Cuban's quote:
If he played in Charlotte, no one would be talking.
KevinSalvadori - February 17, 2012
100% true
HeuristicLineup - February 17, 2012
Difference between being overrated and overhyped.
monsterlxe - February 17, 2012
Hasn't he done most of this without Melo and Amare?
deadenddude - February 17, 2012
That's kinda funny.
DiegoKing - February 17, 2012
I think it's more about rooting against the hype
Than the guy himself.
darooster - February 17, 2012
It's funny, my name is Matt Sumlin...
I could never root against Jeremy Lin. Gimme some Lin!!!
DiegoKing - February 17, 2012
I like lin(way overrated, but i like him) and i hate NY so im rooting for a loss.
X_47 - February 17, 2012
More over hyped than overrated
it is pretty incredible story though. it isn’t every day an undraftfed player comes out of nowhere and leads his team to seven straight wins.
deadenddude - February 17, 2012
oh it has been every day for the last week and a half
Letsgokings13 - February 17, 2012
So frustrating.
This team gives me ulcers and headaches. This game was a fun one actually imo, disappointing end but what are you gonna do?
DiegoKing - February 17, 2012
Trade for more experienced players
I’d jettison JT, JJ, Salmons, Garcia, Honeycutt, etc. to get ANY player that can help our starting lineup and take some pressure off the young guys.
Call me crazy, but I can totally see GP showcasing IT and Honeycutt, et al to prime for a deal.
KevinSalvadori - February 17, 2012
If only the Kings could somehow trade Petrie.
DiegoKing - February 17, 2012
Disagree with getting rid of JT
He’s been one of the most consistent Kings this year. I’ve been waiting several years for him to get his act together. I’d hate to see him go right when he’s finally getting it together.
deadenddude - February 17, 2012
Wow selloff on the 2nd best guy this team this year in JT..Throwing away Honeycutt before he has gotten any burn? No thank you
Widowwolf - February 17, 2012
We need a fried dish name for Jimmer
For how often he gets torched on defense.
Fried Jim-balaya, anyone?
HarveySpecter - February 17, 2012
Thornton
Letsgokings13 - February 17, 2012
He played good tonight
On BOTH sides of the ball.
HeuristicLineup - February 17, 2012
Most teams can't guard DMC.
The fact that DMC’s career high is only 28 shows how awful the rest of the team is at feeding Cousins the ball. He should be averaging 28 points a game on this Kings team.
ridingthebench - February 17, 2012
That was heart breakinf seeing a team just self destruct like that
Why did Evans pump fake on the corners 3 ? Just shoot it. He has no confidense in his shot. How can it be that he hasn’t improved since his rookie year. I mean come on. Every year he supposedly is working on his j. No results,we get all excited if hr doesn’t lean back in his shot. How pathetic is that. I don’t believe someone can work on his j as much as he says he does and show no improvement. I think he is lazy . It shows in his d. He can be a great defender when he needs to be yet 90% of the time he never fights thru a screen and gives up open jumpers. I think if he hasn’t gotten it by now its atleast time to see what he is worth.
Thorton drives me crazy he is so streaky his perimeter d is sad. Constantly gets beat off the dribble. I hate the pairing of him and Evans cause having 2 guys who a lot of time ball hog kills our offense. Hoe many layups does Thompson miss every single game ? 2-3 he has awful hands I love his hustle but god him and Hickson dropping or fumbling every pass is sad.
Glad we FINALLY started Thomas why it took this long I’ll never know. Salmons gives us bad play every night I can’t believe it took 20 games to replace him. The less play making responsibilities Evans has the better we are. Cousins finally got a bunch of easy baskets tonight off guard penetration it was a real nice sight. The only players I wouldn’t trade at this point are I.T. and Cuz. Everyone else can go for the right deal. Our bench is nothing short of pathetic. J.j. is the worst he looks like a d leaguer, I’m not a fan of Hayes Your a pro athlete get your fat ass in shape. Come on dude,I can’t believe people were actually pumped we signed him. Although I was excited for Hickson and he has been worse that Hayes.
I feel bad for Cuz he plays hurt and player great dam near every night and our guard play and outside shooting is embarrassing. Hoe is it possible a NBA team shoots 40? U mean seriously. This was a tough loss we should if won,but its hard to win when u can only depend on 1 person showing up every night. This team need outside shooting consistently so bad. It’s time for a trade. Although our perimeter d was one of the most glaring factors tonight

I feel sorry for Cousins too
It’s a shame that his great play is mostly being wasted. he really deserves better. I’m also worried that if the losing keeps up eventually he’s going to self destruct or turn on his teammates out of sheer frustration and disgust.

I have no faith in the Mallofs to let Petrie fix this, or if it is all Petries fault, I have no faith he'll fix it.

I don't think it's GP's problem to solve.
The clear point is our owners don’t seem interested in spending at the minute. I get it- but it paints a dark picture for the deadline. Maybe they’ll shock us- I hope so. But we have a 48m payroll and pieces tough to move, but full of young players with unknown upside. We are primed for a deal, but we’d have to take salary on. Something has to give.

Or we can sit like lame ducks. Whatever works for the Malindas

Some of GP's decisions have really added to the problem though.
The Salmons trade was one of the worst GM moves I’ve seen in a while.

The Petrie defending needs to stop
I hate the Maloofs & for the last 5 years they tied GP’s hands. That said the Maloofs opened up the pocket book a little this year & GP gave us John Salmon, Travis Outlaw, & Chuck Hayes. That’s $57 million dollars right there. WTF??

Actually, if we get an arena and keep the Kings in Sactown, I will call the season
a huge success.
Bill2 - February 17, 2012
Exactly... Kings could have gone 0-66 and as long as we won the arena battle
This would hands down be the best season in Sacramento franchise history

On the Other Hand... (Cup Half Full?)
This is supposed to be a deep draft coming up, right? :0
Darren King - February 17, 2012
We will get the 61st pick
Letsgokings13 - February 17, 2012
Based on previous luck you mean?
