Bosh is pretty bad defensively.

Or JT is just much better than he used to be.

Lotusprime - February 21, 2012 via mobile reply

All 10 points in the paint

The Heat don’t have a real low-post defensive presence.

MT23!

LBJ meet DMC

UM NO

Damn, gotta finish that Reke

I want to get excited but we've been here before.

Often

kromeace - February 21, 2012 reply

Enjoy

The small victories

I'm enjoying it, but I won't get really excited until the 4th quarter.

You mean end of the 4th.

SALMONS OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great fastbreak

Great start for the Kings.

We are MURDERING THEM!!!!!!!

ahhhhmaaaaazinggggggggggg

MT Passed?

I think it was a really bad shoot

shot

It hasn't been how we start the game lately.

It’s been how we’re finishing them. Or Not finishing them really.

IT?

I mean we've been starting games playing well.

And yes I believe IT has a lot to do with that.

BLOW THEM

OUT that would be outstanding on Natl Tv

wait till after the game to celebrate

Has any team ever played the starters the whole game??

I think IT could play every minute and still have more energy at the end of the game than any King.

Yeah, IT could probably do it.

The idea of putting any of our bench guys in makes me sick

I know. Our bench is so bad.

IT doesn't run out off energy.

Energy runs out of IT.

Great!

Early zone. Awesome idea. Smart works it. Gotta love that.

Don't jinx it don't jinx it don't jinx it

DMC looks really good defensively early.

Go Sactolavia!

how was that not a foul on wade???

Cuz he is wade

it is Wade...

no foul

WTF

Not sure I like the zone

Heat doesn't dribble nearly as much as we do.

Tyreke

Made A Jump Shot

And because he moved to an open spot to receive the pass. That's how the rest of the NBA plays. Progress

Wade put some emphasis on that one.

Tyreke

Should take a mental snapshot of that form and try to duplicate it every time.

o o it out

damn

DMC

Garcia in? Free Donte!!!

JT should be a 70% free throw shooter

used to be

How the hell do you get worse at FT shooting????

miss more often

Only a King could make that happen with MORE practice

WOW Demarcus leads the league in charges drawn!

Refs

Letting them play on loose balls DMC got hit in the face on the miss FT

Nice recovery JT

that was not necessary......

lol

JT can’t jump that high

Too much fancy business

Hit4TheCycle - February 21, 2012 reply

JT

Alley Oop LMAO FAIL

Damn MT with the bad pass

missed alleyoops are embarrassing

Reke

Kings rebounding well.

We won't win

But I don’t care. We’re playing so well for this quarter. It’s fine.

Best quarter of Kings bball this season?

That makes it officially our best quarter this season

Good call

NaPG

Only point guards pass

It’s the only position on the basketball court that passes the ball.

Reke

With terrific passing to start the game

I get what the Kings are trying to do

Coming out and trying to out-tempo the Heat. They’re trying to beat them at their own game. The only problem with that is that you risk a lot of unforced errors. It doesn’t hurt to slow it down once in a while.

I hate the way Reke brings up the ball. Takes forever.

wide open

we have to stop leaving our man, too many wide open looks

kendogfunky - February 21, 2012 reply

JT beasting

JT is having himself a field day down low

JT!

Good hustle

JT!!!

Jason Thompson

Beside himself this game.

Hit4TheCycle - February 21, 2012 reply

JT is working his butt off.

He always does. Gotta love that!

.Let's keep JT

Greene sighting

TYREKE HALFCOURTER AGAIN!

HA!

REKE!!!!!!!!!!

Tyreke best half court shooter in the league!!!!!

REKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JT auditioning for a contract next year

from the Heat

TYREKE!!!!!!!!!

TY rekeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

evans evans evans evans

Evans with the bank

lmao wow

The master of half-court shots

BAM!

Slowstuff - February 21, 2012 reply

Tyreke is money from halfcourt

Reke replay

Reke!!!

didn't fade on that one

beat me to it

From now on we will have to call hime No Fade Reke.

DAMN!!

Count it!

jveezy - February 21, 2012 reply

lol seriously reke

it’s so bad when i have more faith in his half court shot than his 20 foot jumper

LMAO

So True

I LOVE IT

We haven’t lost a game when Tyreke hits from half court im just saying its an omen

OMG !

Notice how he didn't fade away?

He should learn from that!

If you ever go to a Kings game early

Tyreke practices half court shots more than regular three pointers

Coach should work a Reke half court shot into the system

JT hos gone from one of my least favorite Kings to one of my favorite Kings

Great first quarter, but what team was wearing the Kings jerseys?

Rebounds are winning this game right now. Keep it up Kings

2nd chance points as well

what was that?

lol somehow we suck at alley oops

How are we better at half court shots than alley oops?

jveezy - February 21, 2012 reply

good d

Good d

Solid Defense

Loving it right now

Garcia filling Salmons role very nicely

This is the quickest I've seen him move all season.

no he's not

This can't be the same team I've been watching all year

These are bodysnatchers. This is a Space Jam situation.

Aparently Garcia didn't touch the basketball.

Garcia is so bad. It's crazy

GARCIA FAIL

OMG Garcia is horrible

agreed

Slowstuff - February 21, 2012 reply

garcia is like JJ and Salmons combined

and outlaw

Why can't our players catch the ball?

wow garcia is terrible

been saying that from the beggining. Jeez. Our bench is guna lose us the game uh

Garcia is straight garbage

WTF is he playing over Jimmer?

What did you say?

He must have heard me

And now Garcia hits a 3

nice 3 garcia!!!!!!

please only shoot 3s

Tresco!!!

CISCO!!!

Oh hay Garcia three pointer.

jveezy - February 21, 2012 reply

Instead of driving into 3 defenders in the lane

Tyreke should just pull up from half court.

nice pass

Turnover

Will Lose this game

Stop throwing away every other possesion

We're just giving Miami a chance

Don’t wan to win by too much.

lebron and wade are sitting

and guess what the bench is killing us. their bench and our bench are the absolute opposite

Starter Please

Before damage is irreversible

Lebron and Wade off the floor...

I don’t see the harm in playing Jimmer

Anybody else on pins and needles?

Yup

I'm nervous.

Feels so much better than the zombie stare at the screen when we're sucking out there

Not me, I honestly never expected the lead to last

Neither did I

I also didn’t think we’d ever be ahead.

now they're up 6 again

MT23 looks like shizznit

No assists since IT left the game

So when the inevitable happens, can we all agree not to freak out?

But

we are suppose to win this game

I'm caught up finally...

We’re still in it!! importdance.gif here

IT

I hope this isn’t a sign of over thinking again. Where is IT?

kendogfunky - February 21, 2012 reply

2 fouls

Good pass Chuck

One of JT/Cuz should be in at any time

Nice pass Chuck

Good fastbreak

No, Great fast break from the outlet to the touch pass.

+1

Cisco

FASTBREAK

WOW they’re getting pretty good at that

Battier being cold has helped

and Garcia has looked good in his stretch

Chuck is passing well!

Nice pass Chuck

Wow. Ballin

oh wow chuck hayes

your so lovely!!!

At least it looks like JJ is finally in the doghouse

Heat aren't getting back very well

And we’re taking advantage.

Big FB just before 7:30 mark

Hayes dropoff

Who is that pass man?

CHUCKWAGON

Dishin dimes. Did i just say that

Chuck lookin like vlade

monsterlxe - February 21, 2012 reply

Crap, we look like that "other Kings" team that we get to see every now and then

Hopefully it lasts

You know Heat is going to turn on the energy

They do not want to be humiliated.

you mean the refs are going to turn on the energy?

Sure hope not.

Someone should at least try to swipe Bron's headband off.

That would cause his receding hairline to show

Lets not make Lebron mad

If we don't end up snagging a dub... what the hell, right?

IT

Excuse me.

The cunt from Ohio*

tyreke 6 boards already

he is so effective at rebounding at SF.

Oh it would be so sweet to win.

Would love to hear what the analysts would have to say.

Thornton always beasts the offensive boards

MT23

Hustle Board

nice MT

J.R 50 - February 21, 2012 reply

Anyone watching the national broadcast?

What are those commentators saying about the Kings?

Probably the Miami guys

Hit4TheCycle - February 21, 2012 reply

It is the Miami guys

But they’ve been cool. Really complimenting our kids.

They haven't really hated on us.

They’re actually doing a pretty good job keeping it even. Just stating obvious facts

Probably some of the best away announcers ive heard all year

agreed for sure.

First time I haven’t hated away announcers

Kings up 3??

I just checked in..i like the look of us so far

Jame's detoids are as large as his head.

deltoids.

That's weird

You never see that call. Like it though.

Chalmers is on fire

Another Alaskan kid.

Yeah, he's playing well

Reke with the 23' shot

from 24’

Ref calling a Lebron travel?! how new

J.R 50 - February 21, 2012 reply

lmao james

Ha ha

Lebron:

“It’s called a crab dribble”

Cousins and JT

we miss you.

JT will play in the third for 4 minutes and sit the rest of the game

True. And that sucks. He's been playing great this game!

That was like 6 steps lol

That was a late whistle, the ball was already rebounded.

it was a good call

Cousins needs to be back in

IT is so good

IT with the basket

good foul

So these Heat announcers.

Are actually pretty tolerable. I’m shocked.

I like them more than Grant and Jerry

Seriously

They are the most non-sensational unbiased announcers I’ve heard from an opposing team.

Wish I was listening to them

IT looked like Barea right there.

Can’t believe we got him last.

That makes a nice highlight drive in traffic

Like that foul

kromeace - February 21, 2012 reply

that was a damn good foul

love it chuck

Yep

WTF is this, they blacked out NBA TV?

Haha I usually go to CSN but I remembered that we won that fan-vote.

NBATV always blacks out local teams.

I can never watch a Blazers game on NBATV

That makes so little sense.

Lebron's a bitch

I don’t care who his mom is dating

offGlass - February 21, 2012 via mobile reply

DeMarcus is so good.

Hustled for the tip and then dishes a beautiful pass.

Taking too many contested 3s

Gotta fill Salmons' quota for crappy shots.

These Heat announcers are very very good

This^

I was just thinking the same thing

I do not like Donte taking that shot

No I do not.

I'm liking Garcia over Salmons

I'd like The Clap over Salmons

Anybody know what channel NBA TV is with surewest?

I wanna see that channel for a second

699

kromeace - February 21, 2012 reply

nah, thats the channel im watching, 699 is CSN.

I want to know NBA TV

Paging Jason Thompson???!

I can't believe we are actually passing the ball

So glad we don’t have Salmons in the game.

Nice Cuz

I love IT. He don't take NO shit from NObody!

greene.. stop stop stop

J.R 50 - February 21, 2012 reply

WTF did Smart do with our Kings

and who the hell are these guys?

JT for Donte please!

Damn

We look pretty good. Smart’s making good adjustments

offGlass - February 21, 2012 via mobile reply

Donte man...

But damn that was a loud block.

Damn bad sequence

Wow.

hahha these guys are great

Dwyane Wade, filthy

That was the sensational Wade.

Yea, these guys are something else.

WAAADE

too good

Could you imagine watching 33/41 games from the Heat every year?

They are a great veteran team..

I can only hope that our boys can get this way in a few years with some experience and basketball IQ

I wonder if the Lebron/Wade factor ever gets old...

What the hell just happened?

Everything was just a blur and in a matter of seconds it was an and 1 the other way.

Sigh...

IT got smushed and Donte fumbled leading to a Wade fast break

Who would've thought after the loss to Cleveland we'd be back by one against the Heat.

We definitely play up to our competition. Young teams tend to do that.

I feel like even I could pump myself up enough to play well against the Heat

damn i wana cry

why are the heat so mean? why cant they be nice like the raptors or thunder

Does IT realize that is is the smallest player on the court?

Not a smart decision to go against James…….

wouldve been sweet though

if IT dunked on james. fuck i would of loved that.

Would've walked away from my TV.

That amount of happiness could not be replicated for awhile.

I like the aggressive play.

He doesn’t let his size limit him.

I'm with you

I'm with you as well,

the fact that he went up against James is what his game is all about

While i agree that aggressiveness is good,

but how many times have he seen him go up for a layup against a much bigger man and get blocked.

Just a reminder we are playing the best

We've beaten the best in the West, but the East is clearly the better conference.

Not up and down of course, but yeah they’re better.

Eh, I disagree.

You got Thunder and Clippers along with the spurs who are streaking right now, and then you got some ? marks like Denver and also the Grizzlies..if they get healthy they are a top team.

Yeah we beat Durant and Westbrook

But Wade and Lebron are great.

Good lord

Donte looks like Salmons

Jimmered. - February 21, 2012 reply

... That was an 85 foot ally-oop.

God-damn.

more like 45 haha

Goaltending?

That's just cheating

Cisco always just flaps his arms like a bird

not effective on either end

zag392009 - February 21, 2012 reply

It was just a matter of time I guess.

Good defense

LeBron just floats.

He pumped it like five times up there.

MT

Lebron James

ridingthebench - February 21, 2012 reply

Thompson plays great in the 1st quarter...

so lets not play him at all in the 2nd? That makes sense.

I wouldn't mind getting Chalmers in FA.

Miami can’t pay that much for him right?

Already resigned him long term i think

KnightandDaye - February 21, 2012 reply

MT23 again

thorn in the heats ass

love it

MARCUS THORNTON!!!

Thank you!

Thornton is tearin shit up

MTx2

THAT's why we signed Thorton

Go to know he still has it.

Bron not called for spiking the ball like that?

its Lebron

I saw that too.

Rondo gets suspended for two games for tossing the ball offhandedly.

The 3 pointer is the ultimate equalizer.

We're surviving

That’s all you can ask for when they go on their runs

MT - great time for you to score.

This game is really heating up.

No Matter What Happens

They played a hell of 1st half

This

How I feel too

This. But I hope we have an even better second half.

Great half

Lebron and Wade are so good at basketball.

They were putting on a show there.

Heat has some nice players

Ya think?

Yes, nice to see we are hanging with them.

Good job weathering that little Heat run

Could have been a 10/0 run easy

Bench 1 for 10....ouch

this is a game where were going to need jimmer.

Either that, or Donte has to give us 8 points in the 2nd half at least. We cant survive just with rebounds off bench, need the O.

That's what happens when you don't play Jimmer

Tough match up with the Heat.

Great half

Frustrating because there are little things they could have done better to maybe even lead after the half, but overall an impressive showing from the boys

Bravo Kings...win or lose,

they are playing some great basketball right now

This, this, this. I honestly think it's less the wins we want to see and more a good brand of basketball

Yeah, I know we still do want wins too.

We want wins against most

But I’m ok with just a good effort against the best team in the league

I'm with you

But first comes proper basketball. The wins will follow

O.K. For the first time Jim Grey is getting a pass. Did somebody tell him to stop being such a douche?

I still

walk away when he comes on. Annoying.

offGlass - February 21, 2012 via mobile reply

Miami

Only allow 94 points a game we are definitely off to a nice start

Need more from Cousins next half for sure

Donte is ice cold tonight, sheesh.

Man I hate the Heat

almost as bad as I hate the Lakers

i hate shot blockers

man the heat are blocking the crap out of us. cousins should be destroying joel right now but hes getting lucky with all of those no call fouls which are in disguse blocks.

Great first half

So many times when the other team goes on a run before the half the kings end up down by double digits but we hung in there this time. Lets hope for another good half of bball

monsterlxe - February 21, 2012 reply

I absolutely hate Mayweather

This is one of the few things I do like about jim grey, he will call you out to your face in an interview

he's an asshole

coldjacket - February 21, 2012 reply

Hard for me to forgive domestic abuse

I love to watch him fight though.

why cant JT play 6 minutes or so in the second quarter?

Right?! I just don't get it! Tough to complain though, given they way things are going. Smart's doing something right

?

They're showing nothing but Heat hightlights, stoooops.

Donte 0-5..

its Salmon’s roll, man

Jimmered. - February 21, 2012 reply

Donte

Actually does positive thing like rebound

So psyched to see him rebounding. A good change compared to the past.

some of his shots were out of rhythm

or rather they were shot too quick imo. He needs to stop being so nervous to shoot and just focus on playing his heart out.

ridingthebench - February 21, 2012 reply

I dont know why people think Donte has changed.

He has been rather awful for most of his career. Though he was being coached by Westphal and did not get consistent minutes but he has always been a streaky shooter ( More bad then good ).

Yes he is rebounding much better then he has in the past but he was taking JT’s minutes who didn’t get back in the game until there was 1:30 left. I don’t get Smarts rotation sometimes.

We don't think that Donte has changed....

We just think that bad Donte is playing better than Salmons currently
