This game is intertaining

At least.

Entertaining even

I’m a college graduate. Yay!

There's no doubt

Kings are playing much, much better lately! So much more fun to watch

He's heating up!!
MT is on fire!
HE'S ON FIRE!!
Curry hurt?
Why the hell does it sound like we're getting booed when we're at the FT line...AT HOME!?
I was wondering the same thing, unless it is Warrior fans.
Fish

Euro step.

If that three went in

I would have died.

Salmons

Is playing some seriously great D this game. Gets through screens and stays tight on his man better than anybody on the team with the possible exception of IT

Wright with only 24
Salmons hasn't been on Wright all game. Not even close. What am I missing?
just pokin his gills
need a working stream :(
Close out the quarter strong
boy am i glad MT is back
Kings giving out tacos tonight

Woot!

"fish" tacos even
Season high for MT. So glad he is beginning to play well again.
He got his confidence back.

He is the guy I am so comfortable letting take the last shot of the game again.

These refs are letting a lot go
Tyreke ate his Wheeties this morning.
Will need solid play from bench
Dorrell wright missed?
Tyreke is hitting his shots tonight.
it helps when it's a fast break layup
Great third quarter. Keep this going.
Yes, great quarter and they finished it well

Doug Collins approves.

6-9 with MT23 is not looking like a coincidence
If it ever did. Remeber last year too.
i sure do..he looked like an icy-veined shooter all day long last year!
One more quarter.
Best third quarter in a long time.
oh man

thats two great 3rd quarters in a row btw too!

Finally!

The Kings are actually getting hot as a team. First time all year that I can remember. Wow, this is fun again!

Our last couple third quarters have been fantastic.

Used to be our achilles heels. Good to see we’re taking advantage of halftime adjustments rather than other teams adjusting against us.

Close this out STRONG!! Dont let up!
Kings shooting % up to a very nice 47
We're gonna get this game

slow it down a bit, go to cousins in the 4th, REFS FINALLY call a few fouls for him, get to the free throw line = win

no slow
thats incredibly true actually i dont know why i said that
i think basically all i meant is

demarcus cousins is cool and we’re gonna win

Our starting back court is now shooting over 50% for the night

much better.

JT and DMC both with double-doubles

and Reke with 8 assists.

Salmons only 2 rebounds away from a quadruple half-double

no big deal

He already has a quadruple quarter double!

The grey?

Carnahan

Don’t know what’s wrong with my thumbs tonight.

Why are both Reke and Salmons still in?

need breathers eventually

God Damnit

you can’t leave their shooters open like that.

Damn, tough miss Reke
JT just got hacked...
I'm pretty sure the refs just seen a 6'11 280 pound guy fall to the ground`

And they swallowed their whistle

Cousins got face elbowed, no one noticed
And DMC is looking really mature with the way he just handled that
not sure if real mature necessarily
kings dc

is looking like the old bulls….aggressive, long armed, athletic, trapping

timeout timeout timeout
Hickson, go bruise those fools!
these refs are terrible
An angry Cousins is good for the Kings

That’s if he channels it in a positive way

Good composure by Cuz there

settled himself down just right

He's seems to really be working on that.
This is horse shit
Bad decision IT
considering he tends to pass it across the entire court when in the corner there

I’ve seen worse from him on that

Well it would be nice if someone besides Thornton hits threes
The offense has slowed down and the Kings are not performing
Gotten a couple good looks other than that last possession

Just need to convert

should have subbed at the end of the 3rd
Usually subs with a few left in 3rd
Smart's substitution is kind of hard to follow.
cuzzzzzz

is gettin’ killed, and keeping it together. did these refs decide early he was goin’ down? if so, he’s turnin’ it on them. he’ll be back with a vengance

I'm usually not one to complain about the refs

but they have been bad tonight.

Question.

As well as JT has been playing, do you start Hayes when he gets 100%? Im not so sure.

Nope. but he can take JJ's minutes.
jt has been, and i quote

“beasting on fools”

Nope

JT has really earned his starting spot. Hayes great as a high minutes 6th man and go to defender when JT or Cuz have problems (i.e. Aldridge against Portland)

Since Hayes returned our interior D has kicked into over drive and not allowing nearly as many points in the paint
hayes

backs up JT

thats my thoughts too
wow outlaw?
and then he makes it
Still would not want to see that shot again
and hayes

backs up cuz

Even Outlaw is making it!
Boy Jimmer really is in the dog house

Eh?

Out of the three guard rotation at the least
More like the out
I think my vision is blurring. I thought I saw Outlaw making a basket.
Optical illusion. Go to a doctor
WTF why do we keep fouling Robinson at that midrange j?
Vet move

Reek foul was dumb. There he kickedbout his legs and got the rookie.

TACO NIGHT!!!!!

But this time its for the Kings fans

Screw nate robinson…

Robinson is a pussy
really?
Maybe he means like an addable kitty cat
it

let it come to you

I think Reke and company should practically come back in already
Are we really going to do this AGAIN?
I am not happy having Outlaw on the court.
There should be a rule against that
Laws are better

Everyone: contact your local congressman.

I'm starting to get nervous
we got this, here comes some offense
Outlaw

What are you trying to accomplish?

To pad his stats
Outlaw

Outlaw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

why the F is Outlaw in?
Terrible D by IT, he turned away from the ball?
man poor chuck hayes
we got this Reke and Cuz on the floor
If they lose this one I'm going to be one unhappy camper.
ain't

losin’

whew

cuzzzz 14 boards so far

sublexted again

no question about it

probably spelled it wrong

basically slightly popped out of the socket

Hayes dislocated his shoulder again?
No news

Cuz was at the scorer’s table when he got hit.

just slight for like a second

hurts like hell and gives you dead arm

Well he's in now.
you can come right back in with that injury
Can we stop running O through Outlaw and Hayes
Wait

They called a foul!

I cant believe im saying this.....

BUT GET SALMONS BACK IN

Check NBA.com stats

5, count ’em, 5 steals for Salmons tonight.

SEE YOU LATER HAYES. Pound sand
I would much rather have Jimmer play than Outlaw
Smart is done with Jimmer
47 points from our starting backcourt :)
to 27 by theirs.

That’s a big win.

oh my fucking god
Is it Klay Thompson's turn to tear us up?
Too much one on one right now. Need to get everyone moving on O again
once again, tyreke not knowing where his man was
The Warriors have chipped away
goddamn outlaw
Take Trout out
Wow Cuz...that was beautiful.
And absolutely necessary for my sanity
I have a bad feeling about this.
you new here?
I wish
yeah, it's hard to be numb

but being a Kings fan sometimes I wish I were

Fire Smart

for putting Outlaw in!!!!!

A wtf move by Cousins
SHUT THE FUCK UP WARRIORS BENCH
sorry i know they cant hear me
Damn, but nice effort by Cuz
DMC worked all night for that call.
Outlaw is SUCH TRASH

This team has NO bench

and to think

I was actually happy when we signed him.

Amazing Cousins!

Why the fuck is Outlaw in??

About time Cuz

gotta call

is salmons back in yet??
Never thought I'd hear this.

And I didnt because it was typed.

JT Salmons and MT23 need back in the game.
Hope Smart man agrees
i am guaranteeing

a win! we are wearin’ ’em out

I SUMMON THE FISH

I officially hate outlaw more than salmons. Salmons has redeemed himself..outlaw continues with garbage turnovers and atrocious shooting. SMFH.

Agree. I am okay with Salmons if he keeps playing like this, but Outlaw makes me want to pull my hair out.
salmons

comes with ellis

How bizzare is it that we're calling for Salmons to come back into the game?
Because it's either him or Outlaw of Garcia
As much of a negative John is

Outlaw is that negative squared

When you square a negative

it becomes positive…

Proud of DMC

For his composure so far this year, leaps and bounds beyond last year. Hope he can get more calls

damn

Jinxed him

bonus

rest of game

I hate Nate Robinson so much
will live with that shot though
Fucking hell again.
I'm go out on a limb and say we should defend the Warrior's 3 point shooters
Don't jump to conclusions
Nah, they're going to lure them into a false sense of security.
that was just a ridiculous shot
Can't push like that.
I have to go find my heart medication!
Keep ball moving Kings
lol, warriors contingent going crazy
damn

needed that break

Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap, oh crap
FUCK EM UP SALMONS
Lot of warriors fans tonight.

That’s embarrassing.

Salmons saved us

Never thought I’ll be saying that

Bad selection JT
nah, just missed it
It was a good shot

Just missed it.

a bit long for him, but was open and the shot clock says it was a good shot.
this is some bull ass shit
Tie game with 2 minutes left.
Oh nooooooooooooooooo
Too much behind the back dribble.

Loses the ball.

How are the kings getting beat by the warriors bench.

This is precisely what happened Tuesday in the 4th as well.
This is seriously unbelievable
No its not. Maybe for any other team it is.
Here we go again, one on one.
Nate Robinson

Yeah I would’ve hated to get that guy.

He'll show his stripes.

Trust me- a friend of mine recounted how he’d jack up 13 shots a night, hit 4, and bark for more playing time. He will average out at about 36% and demand higher money, etc. A problem they can have- there’s a reason he was an FA for so long this offseason.

New rule.

Any time I think I hate a team more than Golden State, I’ll think of this game. Posers.

Agreed.

Warriors and Lakers fans are mostly bandwagoners

Hmmm.

What bandwagon? They’ve been mostly as bad as we have the last few years.

This is some ridiculous shit right here
somebody get an airway in

I hear choking

Someone Im begging you beat up nate robinson fuck that 5’5 piece of shit he needs an ass whoopin’

Nates gets PUMPED
He always has

Even at u dub.

DAmn MT give Reke that Rock son!!!
Turnovers . . . . story of the game
18-15

think the 15-24 3pt shooting by the Ws might be bigger

great

game….i would have been happy before tthe game knowing we are down 2 w/ball, 2 min to go. what’s the play?

Losing..

no Curry, Ellis, or Lee on the floor…pathetic

What is with these guys and turnovers in the last 2 minutes? Did that last game too and got lucky.
Why oh why

Do the Kings abandon the GOOD offense that’s been working for them and go iso at the end of the game. For fuck’s sake, stick with what works!

Thats it get THORNTON IN!

Um Thornton has been in
put in IT... hes the only guy who can cover Robinson
Will Napear make his flight?
10 bench points

oh my god

go to

cuzzzzzzzzzz

Hey we haven't lost yet! Just down by 2
Fucking ridiculous.
These guys need to calm down and run some offense
Nate and his haircut

Remind of some character from
‘Coming to America’

It's nice that we're in the bonus
I am going to have to kill some one, i cant believe its come to this
Why the fuck is Evans driving into the paint with 3 guys in there
Have you seen a Kings game before??
Kings starters look spent
Good D at least.
Notice that GS staying with their bench
GO TO SALMONS
cant believe i said that
Fucking Evans...really?
We need to score here
!D!

penetrate/pass tyreke

It's the turnovers that killed us tonight

And GS having the night of their lives from 3PT land.

Now a stop and rebound
Tyreke doesn't seem to understand the drive/kickout yet. Let's do work Kings
Tough D is nice to watch.
We almost screwed the pooch on that play
COME ON REKE

seriously i never get pissed at you but that was HORRIBLE

i know the clock management situation
Arco on it's feet...
Here is where it gets exciting.
Time out 28 seconds, Kings ball, tie game.
Evans, please pass the ball before you get into a crowd
WHAT THE FUCK REKE.

Pass the goddamn ball if you run into 4 people.

yeah the hesitation was mis timed

He should have either gone right in or brought it back out

he panicked going for the 2 for 1
These are the type of situations where we need a veteran PG
Yep.

Although vets of any kind would be nice.

or anyone with an iq of a 3rd grader
Young guys need to learn by doing.
go to

cuzzzzz, or JT

I'm going to have a heart attack
Thorton has to be the go to guy down the stretch and Tyreke needs to know that
shit only 4 seconds for a 2 for 1
I would let the clock roll down and rely on the defense
Agree...but the way the Warriors have been shooting the 3 we could still lose with a basket
first entry attempt guaranteed tryin inside

likely won’t work though

give to salmons

hes money

It has to be Kings ball
this is horse shit
What is the deal with these refs?
NBA is holding open auditions for Lakers post season games.
comment makes me cry.
run the

offense!

even if we win i'm gonna be annoyed untill the next game, then it will still be a W
just another excuse for warriors fans to hate on us
Phew* Gotta make the FTs
FISH!!!!
NOT a good shot by Tyreke

Pressure is on Salmons

Can't believe that's the shot we wanted
Fish on the line
sigh, DMC was open before the shot
Salmons to get 2 FTs yes, yes , yes
Reke not finishing this game well at all
WTF was Tyreke thinking??
Rebound!!!!!!!!!!
Horrible shot Reke. Come on John!
nice rebounding guys!
thats the play we come with out of the timeout?
AWWWWW YEAHHHHHHHH
good thing those slimy fucks cant rebound

only learned how to shoot 3’s

lol @ me saying slimy fucks
Great kick-out JT
Evans better make both of these
Was that the play SMART??? WTH?
KIngs have ball - 15 seconds
JT swat save
yes, JT has done that a few times tonight
One more Reke, please
yessssssssssss

!!!!!!!!!!!!

defend the 3-point line
Ok 3 point game...obviously, don't foul the 3 point shooter
guard the perimeter, but try and hold the clock, don't don't don't foul
Great play by JT
NO THREES!
Makes up for that dumb jump shot
Ice in the veins of Reke.

Defend the GD THREE!!!!!!!!!!!

It's time for our defense
I'm worried

Our perimeter D has been atrocious

Watch Clay Thompson pls
Thank you Tyreke
Don't foul them on a 3-point attempt.
By the way FUCK NATE ROBINSON
Imshocked Tyreke is back to 77%

Ft’s you woulda thought he was gonna shoot 20% all year.

Cuz with 19 and 18

monster

mmmm i love those stats
Just another day at the office for him:)
No open threes guys.

Come on.

what are they feeding John Salmons these past couple of games?
Who do we put in?

IT, Reke, Salmons, JT, Cuz?

That was a terrible play coming out of the timeout BTW
not

they doubled tyreke, cuz open…he didn;’t pass

Please FOR THE LOVE OF GOD guard the 3
Coach Handown Mandown

is nuts keeping Ellis and Curry out for so long.

ok just got here, what did I miss?
most of the game
just kidding

but holy shit, cousins and JT combine for 33 rebounds?

WHY CANT THEY GUARD THE FUCKING 3?!
stay on that tall pale motherfucker
And you can hear the fair weather Warriors fans in the background
Are yous erious
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFKkkkkkkkkkk
9 seconds until Napear misses flight
Huh? Really?
He said he didn't want OT

because he’s got flight to catch for Super Bowl

Oh, in that case. I'm happy it went OT
Thornton leaves his man
Didnt watch Clay Thompson
WHat is it with our Perimeter D?

GS is good, but come on. This is stupid.

GODDAMNIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thornton

left him

*@&)($&N_)NUV{UN~Q#*B&NCT$(
We had a foul to give too
Give them the two.
we score

we win

Why collapse on the layup when you're up three?
MT got screened

lost his man

Time to make a good play
what a great drawn up play
some horse shit right here
Please!!!!!!

Don’t have the last shot be Tyreke with a shitty, long, fading back jumper!

Time for lil rock
Game winner coming up
Contest the three if you're up three...
A 2 wouldn't do damage.
whatever we'll just score and win
MT23 needs the ball!
I think Salmons will be the guy to win it
Smell a Reke move to rim
goddamn evans jumpers wtf
that was some predictable ass shit come on
that was HORRIBLE
Agree with all three of you.
Evans you ignorant slut.
Lol. That obviously was the play. He needs a jumper though.
Oh come on Reke
put another 5 minutes up on the clock
Overtime, this could be a good thing

the Kings have Lawler’s Law on their side…

you get the silver lining award

I would have bet on zzsjolt but you pulled it out

Way too predictable
my heart

hurts

OT and DMC with 5 fouls..
Christ. That's so freaking annoying.
There goes his trade value.
Thornton was moving clean.

Evans should watch video of that shot and sequence 800 times tomorrow. His distribution fades in and out too much.

Tyreke

Might as catch the ball in the back court and then heave a half-court shot

WTF WAS THAT??

WE HAD 9 SECONDS

Thornton was pissed
Thornton is always pissed
A veteran PG

would have been useful at that point.

Not really. Unless he s a treat to score one on one

my heart and mind hurts. why the hell didn’t they go to JT or cousins!??!?! Tyreke sucks at contested jumpers.

They totally should've just lobbed it to DMC in the paint
Dribbledribbledribbledribble....fadeaway...CLANK.

Is it bad I would rather have had Fish take that shot?

That was the play

WTF

Being a Kings fan is gonna give me gray hairs
do what I do

shave it all off

REALLY FUCKING SICK OF ENDINGS LIKE THIS.
better than ending where you turn of the set angry in the middle of the 3rd down 25.

just sayin

let's hope

cuzzz takes awhile to foul out

goodness gracious we could of had a 10 times easier shot than that shot tyreke put up……. come on

Don'
Don't they discuss the play during time out?

Fucking feed the ball to DMC down low or give it to MT23. NOT Reke with another fade away jumper

F THORNTON

he shouldve been playing D

gOES BACK TO THE WHOLE GAME OF THREES BY gs. tHAT ONE WAS JUST TO PISS US OFF.
And caps lock again
LOL. It happens.
Caps lock again.
how come we never go down low for a game winner?

why not give cousins a try for a post up move/fade away/get fouled?

exactly.
we all know he'd certainly like the fucking chance too
Time to win in OT
This is setting up the stage for Salmons to win it for us in the 3rd OT
PW drew up that last play.
we deserve to lose
Thronton did not score in the 4thQ did he?
I just came by to say

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Was expecting DMC in the post

sgh.

Mcguire seriously?
atleast Curry still sucks
how did that not go in
FUCK YA SALMONS BABY
nothing but the bottom of the fish net
ooooooooooooooo FISHY FISHY FIIISSSHHH
FISH!!!!!!!!!!!
Salmons? SALMONS!
Fiiiiiiiisssssshhhhh
Will Salmons be the hero?
THERE YA GO BOIIIII
JT gets a layup
Great pass by John
Fuck the warriors
drop another scud on the W's!
Keep the flow going!
I love you Salmons

Move Cousins move your hiney.

SALMONS ASSIST. Loving his play right now.
Salmons can run

a pick and roll!!

These guys look completely gassed

Need to finish this off

salmons

3; feeds JT

Any more questions as to whether JT should stay a starter?
I'm ready to have all 10,000 of Salmons babies.

Salmons I love you!!!!!!

Salmons mvp of this game so far, over thornton
well mayeb cuz/thomp
Ladies and gentlemen, I present tonight's heroes

JT and Johnny MU’ FUCKIN’ Salmons!

WIN THIS FUCKING GAME KINGS
Cousins fouled out :(
Let me just file this under

Unsurprising developments…. Ah, yes, here it is. Right after “Undeserving Salary Figures,” where Salmons is the primary file.

DMC is fouled out...but a great foul at least!
Cuz is done right?
Shit. We neeeded Cousins
Cousins you lucky bastard
Do they not know DMC has 6 fouls?
Why isn't he leaving?
No...he is still in!
lol why is cuz still playing?
Let's hear it for John Salmons

This teams needs a good veteran like good Salmons (vs. bad Salmons)

Isn't that 6 on cousins?
Cousins with 19 or 20 rebounds?
He didn't call bank :)
THE FOULED OUT MAN SCORES IT
No foul on Cousins.

The bank is open!!!

THE BANK IS OPEN
It's a run on the bank!
Goddamn Refs.
On second thought it's pretty close.
Only has a few fouls
LOL at Cousins laughing at the bank.
Check the replay on that ob play
LOL Demarcus is the King of making The Ugly Shot

and that call was BS, Thornton hustlin his ass off that’s Kings ball come on!

20 foot banker

just like they drew it up

Hopefully this is the new standard for DMC.

Awesome night for him. Let’s keep it up!

not the refs nor warrior 3s beat us
our new mentally, physically tough kings
DEMARCUS MOTHER FUCKING COUSINS!! MY FAVORITE KING!
That's definitely off of Clay...
i think so also
that really is kings ball its gotta be?
That should be Kings ball
Jimmer starts shooting the 3 a lot better...

…and then he got benched. He should start missing it… Maybe he’ll sniff the court once.

Why even bring this up right now?
because he's a Jimmer fan, not a Kings fan.
This

Is an extremely irrelevant comment at this point in the game

or learn how to play D
Brother keepin the man down!
Kings' arena crew playing "Tell me something good" during the review

Nice touch.

Yeah, pretty good.
that last angle makes it look worse
Gotta give this to home team
is cuz really fouled out?
No they called it on JT instead.
lol KINGS BALL BABY
lol at the 20 warriors fans left in the crowd
Scott Moak

Is a darn good PA announcer

Wow they made the right call!
SCORE A BASKET
there ya go reke make a play!
Evans, 111 to 102
run that score up where it should have been all along!
Still a lot of time.
wow, what a lot of stops in this game by the officiating crew
another nice assist game for reke.
with MT playing this time

good to see

Reke found the play Kings needed with 9 secs in 4th
And he is now fouled out...

maybe?

Nope it was on Thornton
NOW DMC should be out
Nope lol
Starting to get some respect from the officials

that is huge!

told ya'

we’d blow ’em out :) :)

Double-Double monster style for Cuz

21 and 20 now

I think he can do this every night

As long as he stays out of foul trouble.

Animal style.

That’s not negotiable.

yeah, that's what I meant

been out of the US too long.

We could use another basket.
one more would be nice

or get this tip

get that shit JT
nice pick

petrie

TYREKE FUCKING EVANS!
R3K33333333333333!!!!!!!!!!!!
R3KE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what????

/appplaud

Reke...you've redeemed the last play of the 4th
W

!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ball game.
REKE With the Nail in the Coffin
omg laughing watching a Kings game out of joy, NOT insanity? This is great!
FUCK YOU NATE ROBINSON
Suck it Nate Robinson
I cant watch the game

Im on TV Companion, and I cant believe my eyes
COUSINS + THOMPSON = 36 Rebounds Combined?? UNREAL!

still painful

really Reke?

Reke puts so much arch on his threes
We WON!!!!!! 2 straight!
Get the Gifs ready.
i feel like I rode a rollercoaster after eating 4 hot dogs
I am happy for you guys!

and I hope Grant Napear’s Giants win tomorrow because I really don’t like the Patriots, especially for what they did to Tiquan Underwood, that was crap. Thanks for having me, late!

Kings win!!!!!!!!!
LOL The Starting 5 All Played for 40 Minutes or More.

Is this part of the CONDITIONING??

they kind of needed to play that much

bench was not getting it done.

Kings win. Good game.
You guys have your shoes on?

TIME TO DANCE

whoo!

Thats some overtime redemption right there!

I think my brain blew a fuse. They can play basketball!
I heard FREE TACOS with the win?? Freaking awesome!
I'm not incredibly happy with the game,

we should have won by double digits but a win is a win!

Kings never "should" win by double digits. We're just not that good of a team.
We would have won by double digits if nit for that bs

Ellis shot at the end.

Bring Salmons over for a post game interview
HEY WARRIORS FUCK YOU
LOLOLOL. FREE TACOS!
Big 3 with 75 points 26 boards and 13 assists.
add JT and you get

90 points 42 boards and 14 assists.

Yeah, JT was great as was Salmons.
tyyyreeeeeeeeekee EVANSSS Evaaanss evaanss evans *echo*
Above all, this team is having fun playing basketball again.

And I’m having fun watching them.

and I'm having fun

knowing that you’re having fun watching this team have fun

And I'm having fun knowing that you're having fun watching me have fun.

It’s like one big funtime circlejerk up in this business.

Cousins interviewed - Career high rebounds 21
2 wins, 2 DNP-coach's decision for Jimmer

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm……..

oh shit here we go
Ewing Theory!

Jimmer’s been holding us back!

When your star player is out, everyone else picks up the slack

We saw it when Webber went down with his knee injury in the 03, were seeing it now with Jimmer.

This was a fantastic game. Hopefully we win the next 3 as well!!!

cousins 21 points , 20 boards
TRADE JIMMER NOW !!

You can win without him.. LOL

when blowouts come

he’ll get minutes

This is good for him

he needs to go through the rookie treatment. I mean when was the last time we had a rookie not play significant minute right away? This will be good for him in the end.

Martin
Actually Hassan Whitesude

But I assumed you meant talented rookie.

Fun, yet agonizing night
All five starters had more points than FGAs

Refreshing to see a bit of efficiency.

That's good to see.
All five starters with > 40 minutes
amazing what a little practice can do

And Keith Smart running the show

So Tyreke

Failed to clinch the game in regulation, but gave the Warriors a good night kiss in OT. Love the progress.

Nice to see us put some points up on the board
Salmons is the unsung hero tonight though.

Played great D, 5 Steals and made open shots.

Absolutely

We’ve given him a lot of crap, and he’s deserved it for the most part, but he deserves every bit of praise for his performance the last few nights. This is the guy we traded for.

I really think he's over the hump and will play like this for the rest of the season
This

His defense was fantastic. Some boneheaded decisions but overall a very good game from the Fish

yyyeesss

If he actually plays like this from now on, this 4 on 5 terrible wing play we’ve had…. is actually solved

Jesus we need a bench

Can’t count on the starters to give 48 minutes a game

Maybe Outlaw or Hickson will step it up next

now that Salmons is out of the doghouse.

We also have Hayes who has been re-injuring his shoulder

we need to let him get fully healthy before getting onto the floor,

Hayes won't help the lack of offense off the bench

Hopefully Jimmer gets out of Smart’s doghouse soon. We need his scoring when the starters rest.

Was just gonna say this
I would rather see Honeycutt get minutes over Outlaw at this point.
yes please

or Donté

We have Outlaw for 4 years and he has been good in the past.

If Salmons can turn it around than maybe Outlaw can,

I'd like to see whoever it is get some consistent trys at proving themselves though
DMC is Kings best player
Mark Jackson

“We got manhandled on the boards”

Thats a grown man statement
man down! Hand down!
other way

Hand down, man down I believe.

Keith Smart drinking game...

take a shot every time he says “pro”

it's weird how Tyreke isn't a good 3 point shooter

but somehow has a knack for making clutch 3s.

i think Tyreke shoots better from half court then he does from 3
Technically, still from 3
Love the 9 assists to 1 turnover for Reke

Still needs to improve his decision making but he’s definitely making progress

Yea he should have had more TO's

but either way, I’ll take him on the major plus side of that ratio

Yep

Keith Smart should be given some credit for that. I think it has become quite apparent at this point that PW has really been hampering our young guys growth.

Time to give JT an extension?

I think so.

Too late, right?

Didn’t the deadline for extensions pass?

But he’s still our restricted FA if we extend a QO this summer, and if he keeps playing like this, there’s no chance we don’t.

i think Klay Thompson would be good fit with the Kings
I think anyone who can shoot an outside shot...would be a great fit
