I was a little offended during the OKC game when the 3 bald stooges back at TNT headquarters made a comment about the Kings just played well because they were on national TV and that effort should be brought every night. Well I am starting to think they may have been right. Kings play so much better against the big shot teams.
6 players with no minutes. That's the most this season (I think). At this point I think it's more about not having any energy than closing out a game. Although I guess you could say the two are related.
This was a blowout. In the 4th quarter, sure, but still a blowout. It's deceiving because we only played about 6 players.
there was absolutely no way we’d be able to sustain and endure in that last quarter. I don’t know what Smart was thinking. There’s a reason NBA teams put 14 players on the roster
Actually much more competitive than many would have thought. Great display for national television, and hopefully IT gets the media coverage we all know he deserves!!
But everyone is so happy with the kings this game. I guarantee we could keep up with ANY team through 3 quarters when we only play 6 of our hottest players. But does no one on here realize there was no way in hell we were going to endure that 4th quarter. 6 players with no minutes. I’m not a fan of our bench either, but holy shit, that approach will work maybe 1 out of 30 times. I don’t know what Smart thought was going to happen…especially at the tail end of a long road-trip.
I would agree it would not be a smart move on Smart's part to make a habit out of that.
But usually he is the exact opposite, goes way to deep into the bench. And in the playoffs most teams go down to about 9 players. Problem is our bench is terrible. JJ and Outlaw have been awful. Salmons is injured. Whiteside and Honeycutt are not NBA ready.
As long as we’re calling it what it is: a roll of the dice. I just wanted to make sure people realized some of the reality behind what just happened. If we had gone deep into the bench we’d probably still lose by a similar margin, but have been down most of the game. I guess this way at least we had “hope” going into the 4th quarter. But I wasn’t surprised at all to see what happened in the 4th.
We will have better offense. 4 players averaging double figures not counting JT. And our assists/ball movement are way better. If we use these losses as feeling out games then I would be fine given that they will have much better games in the future.
Because the team looks better when he's on the floor
If he’d been starting all year i think they’d be a better team right now. Not that i;m saying they should have know that at the time, I don’t think anyone knew how good he would be.
Thomas can’t play all 48 minutes and Reke can’t back him up because they’re on the court at the same time already. Another pg is a serious need unless your content with Jimmer backing him up.
I think that the Olympic bid is going to be a stretch
But if it has any legs, it will need to include a modern multi-purpose arena like the one being proposed in Sac. I can’t see the Reno area being able to build anything like it.
Really, we might have a “couple” of more wins if IT started all year? What are we playing for? There are no moral victories in sports. What? We want to be able to say, " well, we aren’t the worst team in basketball!" Shoot me; I want to see Jimmer play. And for all those that say he sucks at defense, look at the scoreboard whenever he doesn’t play – the team sucks at defense. We give up 100 points anyway. Let’s at least see what he can do offensively with the ball in his hands for 30 mins.
To win. Each win means something to the team. It is important because each game has four chapters. It is important for a team to learn how to play the game from beginning to end to learn how to open and to close games.
I see your point that there are no moral victories and we are probably out of the playoffs, but there is something going on with each game. They all have to learn how to play together.
If Smart just decides to use games as practice, putting guys into the game with no set plan, then he and the team won’t get as much out of the time as they would if they go into win the game.
go kings!!

Going to the 4th
And this game is still winnable way more than what i was asking for let see if they can shock the world on Natl Tv
Howard Nevens IV - February 21, 2012
the team looks so much more focused tonight
I was a little offended during the OKC game when the 3 bald stooges back at TNT headquarters made a comment about the Kings just played well because they were on national TV and that effort should be brought every night. Well I am starting to think they may have been right. Kings play so much better against the big shot teams.
ridingthebench - February 21, 2012
Amazing quarter
We are running with them. If this was any other good (not great) team, we would be in the lead now. Or if Miami had missed a couple of those threes.
tidge18 - February 21, 2012
Just checked in
Are we in this game? We’re in this game. We’re definitely in this game and, damnit, I want to watch them steal this one.

Thanks to IT, they're in IT
deadenddude - February 21, 2012
IT is the best PG the Kings have had since Bibby
this guy looks like the real deal. He’s a game changer.
deadenddude - February 21, 2012
If he's doing this against Miami, he'll do this against the rest of the NBA as well.
VenomySnicket - February 21, 2012
That's what I'm thinking
If you don’t back down to Wade and James you won’t back down to anyone.
deadenddude - February 21, 2012

He is in fantastic shape!
Slam_Dunk - February 21, 2012
It would surprise me if he isn't in the best shape on the team
The only reports I’ve seen is this kid runs and runs and runs and runs. When he’s away, he runs the stairs.
HeuristicLineup - February 21, 2012
He obviously didn't get into this shape by minutes in the game...
cause he didn’t get the start until recently. He has been working hard for this opportunity. Very impressive.
Slam_Dunk - February 21, 2012
it feels like IT has been playing the whole time
ridingthebench - February 21, 2012
The Heat are shooting over 57%
and we’re only down five.
Juan Primo - February 21, 2012
Cut down on the TOs this half
Skeptical Dawg - February 21, 2012
Grant and Jerry are the
worst actors on the planet.
Ichiban - February 21, 2012
I think it has to be on purpose
HeuristicLineup - February 21, 2012
Nope I don't buy it.
I’s not satire.
Just awfulness.
Ichiban - February 21, 2012
5 point game
Slam_Dunk - February 21, 2012
I sense this game is about to run away :-/
Gotta get the starters back in for sure.
Czar Nickoli - February 21, 2012 via Android app
I think so too. Do it quick before this gets nasty.
Slam_Dunk - February 21, 2012
They seriously cannot miss
DiegoKing - February 21, 2012
Poor Jimmer looking glum
Skeptical Dawg - February 21, 2012
Totally forgot he existed.
Juan Primo - February 21, 2012
Come on Reke
Reke_Havoc13 - February 21, 2012
Dumb move Tyreke.
DiegoKing - February 21, 2012
oh noes
whats happening X.X
CousinsEvansDUO - February 21, 2012
Sometimes Reke is just plain stupid.
Bill2 - February 21, 2012
And it almost always happens in crunch time
He doesn’t handle pressure well at all.
deadenddude - February 21, 2012
If this is chasm, no thank you
If not please see the games against the game winners against the wizards and the nuggets
ThomasGQ - February 21, 2012
two years ago?
chenp22 - February 21, 2012
Get Donte out of there
DiegoKing - February 21, 2012
Why would you challenge Battier
Reke_Havoc13 - February 21, 2012
time out time out
J.R 50 - February 21, 2012
And that might be the knockout punch
Scirocco - February 21, 2012
We need a run.
Slam_Dunk - February 21, 2012
Two Reke wiffs at the rim = 4 Miami fast break points.
sacnativekingsfan - February 21, 2012
Well, we played them close for most of the game. When we miss, they don't.
Bill2 - February 21, 2012
The don't miss at all.
DiegoKing - February 21, 2012
It looks like shooting practice.
DiegoKing - February 21, 2012
cmon reke
J.R 50 - February 21, 2012
Seriously I don't understand why Tyreke has to go so far deep into the defense and have to throw up such crap
He needs a short range floater more than even a midrange J right now
Scirocco - February 21, 2012
really wish he had a Rondo floater
J.R 50 - February 21, 2012
Typical tyreke, reverting to hero ball in the fourth
brianspider - February 21, 2012
yep
the ball movement completely stopped. Went back to the 1v5 Isolation Paul Westphal play.
ridingthebench - February 21, 2012
And he was being guarding by Shane Battier
Who has been known to shut down Reke in the past.
ridingthebench - February 21, 2012
The Heat crowd seems a lot louder than last year
deadenddude - February 21, 2012
Tyreke hero ball works what, 10% of the time?
This crap is the reason people want to trade him.
deadenddude - February 21, 2012
It's like I'm a prophet...
Czar Nickoli - February 21, 2012 via Android app
Just Need 1 Run
Howard Nevens IV - February 21, 2012
No JJ tonight, it seems
VirginiaKingsFan - February 21, 2012
Thank fuckin' god!
rstewartwest - February 21, 2012
WOW
Reke_Havoc13 - February 21, 2012
What fucking garbage
DiegoKing - February 21, 2012
Thank you Cisco
Reke_Havoc13 - February 21, 2012
Cisco with the band aid
J.R 50 - February 21, 2012
We are in trouble now.
Slam_Dunk - February 21, 2012
Nice cisco
DiegoKing - February 21, 2012
Come the fuck on...
Reke_Havoc13 - February 21, 2012
woah miller shuffled there
J.R 50 - February 21, 2012
El Flaco with back to back 3's
Reke_Havoc13 - February 21, 2012
Tresco!!!
AkaP - February 21, 2012
There ya go Cisco
DiegoKing - February 21, 2012
Cisco with ANOTHER!
J.R 50 - February 21, 2012
Cisco of old.
Bill2 - February 21, 2012
Nice to see.
Slam_Dunk - February 21, 2012
The Heat crowd seems a lot louder than last year
deadenddude - February 21, 2012
Cisco trying to keep the Kings in the game.
sacnativekingsfan - February 21, 2012
Wow what a flop by Bosh
Scirocco - February 21, 2012
No boxing out will do that every time.
DiegoKing - February 21, 2012
Uh oh. Wade back in
Reke_Havoc13 - February 21, 2012
There is still time.
Slam_Dunk - February 21, 2012
6 players with no minutes. No wonder we look pooped. Wish we had the depth to rotate our bench
feelgood - February 21, 2012
This will be JJ's first DNP of the year
VirginiaKingsFan - February 21, 2012
What spastic play
DiegoKing - February 21, 2012
ugh c'mon
Skeptical Dawg - February 21, 2012
Now isn't the time to turn the ball over
Reke_Havoc13 - February 21, 2012
surprised we arent seeing more Cousins
J.R 50 - February 21, 2012
on O
J.R 50 - February 21, 2012
IT out offense go stagnant
Skeptical Dawg - February 21, 2012
Put in JIMMER
haglnuts - February 21, 2012
No
HeuristicLineup - February 21, 2012
Dont Need
A rook trying to guard Veteran All Stars
Howard Nevens IV - February 21, 2012
We need someone to make 3's.
haglnuts - February 21, 2012
He's number 22
HeuristicLineup - February 21, 2012
keep him in too!
take out reke.
haglnuts - February 21, 2012
WTF?
HeuristicLineup - February 21, 2012
WTF was reke losing the game for us in Cleveland...
haglnuts - February 21, 2012
Haglemoron fits you better
HeuristicLineup - February 21, 2012
Nice!
Since we taking out our angst by reverting to playground name calling, here’s one: heuristiclinefuck.
haglnuts - February 21, 2012
Could you at least make one that makes more sense than your posts?
HeuristicLineup - February 21, 2012
Damn.. meant to say: heuristiclinefuckUP.
Playground tactic FAIL.
Friends?
haglnuts - February 21, 2012
yes.
haglnuts - February 21, 2012
Cousins taking some punishment with those charges.
Slam_Dunk - February 21, 2012
Come on DMC
Scirocco - February 21, 2012
I think we are running out of steam
But we need a spark for one last run
tidge18 - February 21, 2012
Unless someone gets hot I dont ' see it
Scirocco - February 21, 2012
We need a raging inferno
Reke_Havoc13 - February 21, 2012
I don't see how Smart thinks he can sneak by a win by gassing out 7 players. I know our bench has struggled, but this will be a blowout in no time.
feelgood - February 21, 2012
Geez
They’re called Free throws for a reason
Reke_Havoc13 - February 21, 2012
The Kings need a run that gets
Lebron off the bench
HeuristicLineup - February 21, 2012
Nevermind
He’s off
HeuristicLineup - February 21, 2012
Nice layup by Tyreke
Slam_Dunk - February 21, 2012
Damn, needed a timoutr there.
DiegoKing - February 21, 2012
Here comes Lebron
Slam_Dunk - February 21, 2012
tyreke 10 assists? nice
J.R 50 - February 21, 2012
And he's not our point guard!
swoosh91 - February 21, 2012
LOL jump off with IT?
meeeeeh
Skeptical Dawg - February 21, 2012
40" vertical!!!
damn he lost
HeuristicLineup - February 21, 2012
Yeah he got up there tho
Skeptical Dawg - February 21, 2012
I really wish we could win.
CousinsEvansDUO - February 21, 2012
I hope you have a lot of patience.
DiegoKing - February 21, 2012
gosh darn it so many tough loss
TOUGH LOSSES Y U BE SO TOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!
CousinsEvansDUO - February 21, 2012
Tough losses are the blowouts.. These show promise at least
Czar Nickoli - February 21, 2012 via Android app
It's all I've been hoping for all year. Can leave this one without my head down...Finally
rstewartwest - February 21, 2012
I blame you
You said we were going to win. You and your “feelings”.
chenp22 - February 21, 2012
It Seems that we just don't know how to finish a game. I think youth has a lot to do with it
. Plus fatigue because of our weak bench.
Bill2 - February 21, 2012
6 players with no minutes. That's the most this season (I think). At this point I think it's more about not having any energy than closing out a game. Although I guess you could say the two are related.
feelgood - February 21, 2012
Wade isn't bigger than IT?
Slam_Dunk - February 21, 2012
Thornton....
6-4 vs 6-4
HeuristicLineup - February 21, 2012
Wow, MT does seem smaller to me.
Slam_Dunk - February 21, 2012
Lebron's headband is growing in size to compensate for his hair line
in 3 years it will just be a ski cap
zag392009 - February 21, 2012
Why isn't IT running point?
Skeptical Dawg - February 21, 2012
Nice sell job by Buckets.
sacnativekingsfan - February 21, 2012
Wow..This team needs to practice freethrows
Reke_Havoc13 - February 21, 2012
In for another loss..
Jeigra - February 21, 2012
This one's over
DiegoKing - February 21, 2012
That should do it
Scirocco - February 21, 2012
This game was winnable
How the hell did we screw this up?
Reke_Havoc13 - February 21, 2012
small line up
Beagle12 - February 21, 2012
we lost because cousins didn't show up
its always someone not showing up. ussually its thornton.tyreke. today its the opposite though.
CousinsEvansDUO - February 21, 2012
They are tired imo.
Bench minutes are nonexistent.
Tonyiommi - February 21, 2012
two players with 15 minutes. and then only 6 other players carrying the rest of the load.
I am not a fan of our bench either, but that kind of endurance is not realistic
feelgood - February 21, 2012
Take out Thornton!
Jimmer can make free throws AND 3’s…
haglnuts - February 21, 2012
It's too late
DiegoKing - February 21, 2012
yeah but he gives up like 100 points, haha
deadenddude - February 21, 2012
Nice foul by Reke.
Slam_Dunk - February 21, 2012
Yeah screw getting dunked on
VenomySnicket - February 21, 2012
Plus he might miss one.
Slam_Dunk - February 21, 2012
wtf?
he wouldn’t get dunked on. tyreke knows how to block. lebron would get owned by tyreke.
CousinsEvansDUO - February 21, 2012
lulz. Y u so fun e?
chenp22 - February 21, 2012
It was fun to watch. Finally I got to watch the Kings on TV, it was a nice change.
DiegoKing - February 21, 2012
A 0-6 road trip is becoming a reality
Reke_Havoc13 - February 21, 2012
I's going to happen.
I have no doubts now. The Kings can’t win on the road, they suck at it.
DiegoKing - February 21, 2012
we can still beat the wizards!
zag392009 - February 21, 2012
I think we'll lose to them.
It’ll suck, but the Kings on the road suck even more.
DiegoKing - February 21, 2012
We're suppose to beat the Cavs and Pistons
This team needs help big time
Reke_Havoc13 - February 21, 2012
Fuck it.... I'm still gonna blame the defense on Jimmer
Pdidd - February 21, 2012 via mobile
screw that
salmons made us lose.
that idiot mustve have given these guys bad tips during practice.
CousinsEvansDUO - February 21, 2012
It was a well played game from the Kings
Perhaps a little more competitive throughout than many of you here would have thought against the defending East Coast Champs.
Hit4TheCycle - February 21, 2012
I sure didn't expect them to be in it
In fact, turning the game on mid way through the first my exactly thought was, they are probably already down 10
Czar Nickoli - February 21, 2012 via Android app
This was a blowout. In the 4th quarter, sure, but still a blowout. It's deceiving because we only played about 6 players.
there was absolutely no way we’d be able to sustain and endure in that last quarter. I don’t know what Smart was thinking. There’s a reason NBA teams put 14 players on the roster
feelgood - February 21, 2012
Well
It was still great game just got out executed by a veteran team in the 4th
Howard Nevens IV - February 21, 2012
We needed to be near perfect to beat this team
We are getting there. It was a good effort from the team. The Heat are just too good. i enjoyed the game especially the third quarter
tidge18 - February 21, 2012
LOL Grant making fun of LeBron's not 2 not 3 not 4 bit
deadenddude - February 21, 2012
wtf
lady in the front row wearing sun glasses
ridingthebench - February 21, 2012
Give it to IT
he hasn’t shot this quarter
Skeptical Dawg - February 21, 2012
Kings have no bench.
The fact that Isaiah is the one true PG on this team is huge. Jimmer not even seeing the floor this game is a testament to that.
Ricardo Audain - February 21, 2012
Kings did not get embarrassed tonight
They played well.
Now lets hope for the crazy miracle
HeuristicLineup - February 21, 2012
Back to back to back Reke half court buzzer beaters?
swoosh91 - February 21, 2012
Good game even tho its a loss
Just wanted to see good execution. A win against the best team in the league would just be a bonus
monsterlxe - February 21, 2012
I think you can say this one was closer than the final score indicates
deadenddude - February 21, 2012
Absolutely and great to see from our boys!
rstewartwest - February 21, 2012
Wow IT actually missed a 3
Skeptical Dawg - February 21, 2012
Why are the big 3 still in game?
zag392009 - February 21, 2012
Not sure whats up with Cousins
He couldn’t back down Bosh?
Scirocco - February 21, 2012
LOL Wade. Instead of trying to make the layup
he flopped as Thomas moved out the way.
zo0m - February 21, 2012
lol thats what wade does
First he flops then he tried to score a crazy basket.
CousinsEvansDUO - February 21, 2012
Honeycutt!
HeuristicLineup - February 21, 2012
If the Heat shot like that more frequently, no team would ever beat them consistently.
DiegoKing - February 21, 2012
And if the Kings played like this more often
They would be a playoff team.
ridingthebench - February 21, 2012
Oh hell yeah.
DiegoKing - February 21, 2012
Lack of defense might have helped their shooting.
Bill2 - February 21, 2012
Still bro, they couldn't mis at certain points, it was like a video game
DiegoKing - February 21, 2012
Bosh is automatic with that midrange jumpshot
monsterlxe - February 21, 2012
Garbage time.
Slam_Dunk - February 21, 2012
Whiteside in with a block
Reke_Havoc13 - February 21, 2012
Yep... Fredette is on Smart's shitlist.
haglnuts - February 21, 2012
Nah, he just saved him from embarrassment
DiegoKing - February 21, 2012
I suspect he may have felt he would have been overwhelmed in this game.
Jimmer doesn’t need that.
Slam_Dunk - February 21, 2012
I seriously think it's time to either give him Cisco or Salmons minutes....
or trade him. :’(
haglnuts - February 21, 2012
Why would you trade him?
Because he didn’t play in a game during his rookie season? That isn’t good logic. Jimmer is a Kings.
DiegoKing - February 21, 2012
Can't help but feel bad for him.
Heck even Whiteside got PT.
Jeigra - February 21, 2012
SWATside
Scirocco - February 21, 2012
Jimmer Jimmer Jimmer
Really that’s what would have won us this game get over it
Howard Nevens IV - February 21, 2012
If the Kings play like this tomorrow, they'd blow out the wizards
HeuristicLineup - February 21, 2012
Do you think they actually will though? I have my doubts.
DiegoKing - February 21, 2012
If**
Who knows if they will..
HeuristicLineup - February 21, 2012
It seems like they get up for these bigger matchups and then fall flat against far lesser comp.
It happens far to frequently.
DiegoKing - February 21, 2012
They definitely get pumped up for big games
But they have to be frustrated about falling short. Hopefully they take those frustrations out on the Wizards.
Neil Manich - February 21, 2012
I so, so wish they do.
I want a god damn win, it’s been almost a month it seems like. This shit is frustrating the poo out of me!! :(
DiegoKing - February 21, 2012
I asked yo a question byh the way*********
DiegoKing - February 21, 2012
that I answered?
HeuristicLineup - February 21, 2012
that was a good answer.
DiegoKing - February 21, 2012
How do you fedel about it? " who knows"
DiegoKing - February 21, 2012
feel*, lol
DiegoKing - February 21, 2012
Exactly....? Have you not seen this Kings team?
I’m not Donte Greene, I can’t predict when things are going to go our way
HeuristicLineup - February 21, 2012
Fair enough.
DiegoKing - February 21, 2012
rec'd for the Greene joke.
DiegoKing - February 21, 2012
But they never play good against bad teams
deadenddude - February 21, 2012
Jim Gray interviewing the opposing team's player again...
Reke_Havoc13 - February 21, 2012
Of course.
Slam_Dunk - February 21, 2012
Good game
Bad 4th quarter.
Really happy with the Kings.
Neil Manich - February 21, 2012
2nd quarter*
HeuristicLineup - February 21, 2012
Reke looked Reke-like tonight.
ridingthebench - February 21, 2012
Great game Kings!
Actually much more competitive than many would have thought. Great display for national television, and hopefully IT gets the media coverage we all know he deserves!!
haglnuts - February 21, 2012
this, this, this
rstewartwest - February 21, 2012
Good effort tonight. We lost but like how we played.
VirginiaKingsFan - February 21, 2012
What is up with Isaiah Thomas though?
Incredible. He’s for real.
Neil Manich - February 21, 2012
Cant believe he didnt make the All-Star rookie game
ridingthebench - February 21, 2012
He's a keepe,r I'm thinking...
DiegoKing - February 21, 2012
Fuckin' A right
When the Kings are the Carpenters, he’s the Black Keys (or at least the dancing guy in the commercial)
rstewartwest - February 21, 2012
2 career days in two games
He hasn’t hit his ceiling yet for sure
Skeptical Dawg - February 21, 2012
Are we all in agreement that IT is a keeper?
Slam_Dunk - February 21, 2012
The Kings have sort of a "big 3" but now they sort of have a big 4
Nice !
DiegoKing - February 21, 2012
Reke, DMC, IT... who else?
prowseinthehouse - February 21, 2012
I'm not trying to be an ass
But everyone is so happy with the kings this game. I guarantee we could keep up with ANY team through 3 quarters when we only play 6 of our hottest players. But does no one on here realize there was no way in hell we were going to endure that 4th quarter. 6 players with no minutes. I’m not a fan of our bench either, but holy shit, that approach will work maybe 1 out of 30 times. I don’t know what Smart thought was going to happen…especially at the tail end of a long road-trip.
feelgood - February 21, 2012
Good point
anyone who thinks your being an ass just has their head up their own ass.
deadenddude - February 21, 2012
Kings played more then 6 players.
Donte Cisco Hayes came off the bench.
ridingthebench - February 21, 2012
I know. two other players for like 15 minutes. The bulk of the time was split between 6. That's what I meant. Sorry. I was being broad.
feelgood - February 21, 2012
I would agree it would not be a smart move on Smart's part to make a habit out of that.
But usually he is the exact opposite, goes way to deep into the bench. And in the playoffs most teams go down to about 9 players. Problem is our bench is terrible. JJ and Outlaw have been awful. Salmons is injured. Whiteside and Honeycutt are not NBA ready.
ridingthebench - February 21, 2012
and combined for 4 points...
deadenddude - February 21, 2012
The Kings current rate of success would be 10 out of 30 times
HeuristicLineup - February 21, 2012
Dude we just hung tough with the
Miami Heat. I don’t think a team full of Greek Gods could beat them tonight. That Cole Kid is pretty legit.
fffindeed - February 21, 2012
We wouldn't have been in that game if we went deeper into our bench.
Neil Manich - February 21, 2012
Yeah, that's the problem
deadenddude - February 21, 2012
Agree. Smart knew that and just rolled the dice.
Slam_Dunk - February 21, 2012
Agree. Totally agree.
As long as we’re calling it what it is: a roll of the dice. I just wanted to make sure people realized some of the reality behind what just happened. If we had gone deep into the bench we’d probably still lose by a similar margin, but have been down most of the game. I guess this way at least we had “hope” going into the 4th quarter. But I wasn’t surprised at all to see what happened in the 4th.
feelgood - February 21, 2012
You realize that the heat only played 9 right?
It’s not like they were reaching deep into the bench the whole game
brianspider - February 21, 2012
Kings better BLOWOUT Washington tomorrow.
ridingthebench - February 21, 2012
Something tells me the Wiz are going to win
Reke_Havoc13 - February 21, 2012
We are gonna be tired tomorrow
Playing the back end of a doubled header, having only played 6 guys tonight, and being more emotional tonight due to it being a big game.
Czar Nickoli - February 21, 2012 via Android app
I am going to buy an Isaiah thomas jersey authentic..
I hope kings dont trade him in the near year or two though. Anytime I buy a kings jersey it seems they end up trading the guy haha
Tyro18 - February 21, 2012
tried
it didn’t even fit on 1 arm
ElRonToro - February 21, 2012
I just wish this team would take every game as if it were against big name opponents
Reke_Havoc13 - February 21, 2012
Cousins, JT, and IT do
Thornton and Tyreke in particular seem to play to the level of the opponent.
deadenddude - February 21, 2012
Cousins had a rough game
but Miami has some good bigs
Skeptical Dawg - February 21, 2012
oh Hickson was a DNP
Totally forgot he existed.
Jimmered. - February 21, 2012
Maybe a trade?
Hickson/Jimmer/Salmons for Marvin Williams? Maybe?
Scirocco - February 21, 2012
That's quite a bit for Marvin Williams
If Jimmer is involved.
Neil Manich - February 21, 2012
Well I would hope ATL would add a bit from their end
Maybe Hinrich
Scirocco - February 21, 2012
Jimmer for Lebron James seems more likely
HeuristicLineup - February 21, 2012
I'd want a pick back
He’s likely to bolt for Cleveland
ElRonToro - February 21, 2012
Valid point
HeuristicLineup - February 21, 2012
Too early to be talking about trading Jimmer.
Ichiban - February 21, 2012
"Brought to you by the European Wax Center
The ultimate wax experience"
What does that even mean? lol
Ichiban - February 21, 2012
Dat Euro wax is the bomb I've heard.
DiegoKing - February 21, 2012
Can't wait to hear what Smart has to say.
Overall, I bet it will be positive.

If IT can keep the production
We will have better offense. 4 players averaging double figures not counting JT. And our assists/ball movement are way better. If we use these losses as feeling out games then I would be fine given that they will have much better games in the future.

IT not making the All-Star rookie game should be a crime!
ridingthebench - February 21, 2012
happens if the big games come after selection date
if someone can’t play he’ll have a shot
ElRonToro - February 21, 2012
It'll be exciting to see him play
Reke_Havoc13 - February 21, 2012
If IT started from game one I bet this team has 3 or 4 more wins right now
deadenddude - February 21, 2012
Not sure
this was a really rough time for a rookie. Lock-out, then head coach getting canned.
Skeptical Dawg - February 21, 2012
If Salmons never played, we'd have infinity plus one wins
feelgood - February 21, 2012
We'd have the best record in the league.
Neil Manich - February 21, 2012
how do you figure
we lost to detroit and cleveland
Nbawriter - February 21, 2012
Because the team looks better when he's on the floor
If he’d been starting all year i think they’d be a better team right now. Not that i;m saying they should have know that at the time, I don’t think anyone knew how good he would be.
deadenddude - February 21, 2012
Good news....only 12 more road games
which also means more rest and practice between games
ElRonToro - February 21, 2012
Can we get Ramon Sessions?
I know the Fakers are interested in him. But then again we now have IT so would that mean we don’t need a PG anymore?
tidge18 - February 21, 2012
Still need a solid back-up PG
Skeptical Dawg - February 21, 2012
Another PG is about the last thing we need
Scirocco - February 21, 2012
Reke is not a PG, hopefully Jimmer is coming along in practices
Skeptical Dawg - February 21, 2012
It's definitely a need
Thomas can’t play all 48 minutes and Reke can’t back him up because they’re on the court at the same time already. Another pg is a serious need unless your content with Jimmer backing him up.
Ricardo Audain - February 21, 2012
I think the point (hehe) is that we don't need another PG
We might need to replace a PG, but we don’t need an additional one.
RJinFairOaks - February 21, 2012
Good point.
Ricardo Audain - February 21, 2012
I think Small Forward is our biggest concern.
ridingthebench - February 21, 2012
definitely
Skeptical Dawg - February 21, 2012
Is Beasley a SF or a PF?
tidge18 - February 21, 2012
SF
ridingthebench - February 21, 2012
I like his game too
Not sure what kind of role model he would be for the Kings youngsters (the whole team) but he can score and play some D.
ridingthebench - February 21, 2012
But Im not so sure the T-wolves are willing to part with him either.
ridingthebench - February 21, 2012
Hybrid
He can play both depending on match ups
Reke_Havoc13 - February 21, 2012
agree ..he's a 3.5
ElRonToro - February 21, 2012
Should we make a play to get him?
I know he’s another headcase but hey it will be exciting to see him together with Cousins
tidge18 - February 21, 2012
I'd rather find a way to snag Pekovic vs. Beasley
Pek and DMC inside would be lethal.
RJinFairOaks - February 21, 2012
I think we need defense from the three
He’s kind of a chucker. Think he’d slow down our offense. I’d rather get a veteran role player there. We need a poor man’s Shane Battier.
Neil Manich - February 21, 2012
should have made a play to get him when the Heat gave him away
probably too late now.
deadenddude - February 21, 2012
Smart pretty positive with the game.
Slam_Dunk - February 21, 2012
Yeah everybody should be. Just ran out of gas i.e. no bench
Skeptical Dawg - February 21, 2012
Yep. We have a lot of dead wood on the team.
Slam_Dunk - February 21, 2012
Why no Hickson tonight? besides the obvious "he sucks"
DiegoKing - February 21, 2012
I think you answered your own question
HeuristicLineup - February 21, 2012
He could have been told to just come in, give some energy, rebound, defend and never shoot.
Why can’t he just follow simple instructions like those? We could have used that scenario tonight.
DiegoKing - February 21, 2012
May have had to do with some of his comments about rather being in Cleveland.
Slam_Dunk - February 21, 2012
Yeah I was thinking the same thing actually.
Glad you mentioned it. That might not have gone over well at all with Petrie and staff.
DiegoKing - February 21, 2012
Yep. They are paying all this money for him to play and he is saying this stuff to the media.
Slam_Dunk - February 21, 2012
Plus he's been awful
Neil Manich - February 21, 2012
I wonder how this is all playing out in the locker room?
Slam_Dunk - February 21, 2012
Hot in Cleveland
Next seasons cast featuring Betty White and new beau JJ Hickson.
Will someone please Photoshop? I have no skills in this department.
RJinFairOaks - February 21, 2012
Too busy dreaming about Cleveland.
chenp22 - February 21, 2012
are we trading
salmoms, hickson and jimmer for nicolas batum or gerald wallace or luol deng or danilo galinarri?
CousinsEvansDUO - February 21, 2012
Who could know these things...
Take a guess…
DiegoKing - February 21, 2012
We couldn't trade them to get anything of value back unless we took on a boatload of money
which, well…. you know
prowseinthehouse - February 21, 2012
Anyone have any new on city council
tonight im reading things on twitter about olympic commetii pushing for new arena for olympic bid in 2022
Howard Nevens IV - February 21, 2012
I think that the Olympic bid is going to be a stretch
But if it has any legs, it will need to include a modern multi-purpose arena like the one being proposed in Sac. I can’t see the Reno area being able to build anything like it.
RJinFairOaks - February 21, 2012
In Sacramento/Tahoe
Howard Nevens IV - February 21, 2012
We are 10-22, people, TEN AND TWENTY TWO!
Really, we might have a “couple” of more wins if IT started all year? What are we playing for? There are no moral victories in sports. What? We want to be able to say, " well, we aren’t the worst team in basketball!" Shoot me; I want to see Jimmer play. And for all those that say he sucks at defense, look at the scoreboard whenever he doesn’t play – the team sucks at defense. We give up 100 points anyway. Let’s at least see what he can do offensively with the ball in his hands for 30 mins.
Altus - February 21, 2012
What are we playing for?
To win. Each win means something to the team. It is important because each game has four chapters. It is important for a team to learn how to play the game from beginning to end to learn how to open and to close games.
I see your point that there are no moral victories and we are probably out of the playoffs, but there is something going on with each game. They all have to learn how to play together.
If Smart just decides to use games as practice, putting guys into the game with no set plan, then he and the team won’t get as much out of the time as they would if they go into win the game.
