where yall been
Tyreke is upset patriots lost

thats why hes playing bad, its ok guys he will play better vs twolvez.

So you're saying there's a chance.
STOP FOULING!!!!!
These refs need to let these guys play.
At this rate this game could be over by 7.
11 points not too bad.
Beautiful pass by IT
Single digits.
IT is just doing it all
OMG I can't believe that
NO makin some BS shots

Isaiah THOMAS is the f0kn SHIT!

Single digits - time to count down
We're making shots now. Now they just gotta get NO to miss
Isaiah Thomas hasmore professional dunks than

Hassan Whiteside.

We're gonna get this game

hornets are starting to realize that they’re actually terrible

Hope cousins and thomas continue their great performance, we need thornton to ignite and salmons to play great D.

Love Isiah's energy: 7 pts, 4 assists, 3 boards, and 1 steal in 12 minutes.
Cousins more double doubles than Marc Gasol
and some good D on that play
and the smooth J!
double-double again for Cousins:)
Just tuned in. How bad were we?
we were down 14? 15? in the 2nd
Just couldn't score.

DMC is taking over

let's go cuz

I see you

OMG Cousins is crazy!!! LOVE YOU DMC

Cousins making ERRRTHANG!

Cousins playing pretty well

Another 20-20 on the way?

Wow. IT went all the way
man isiah breakin em down
Hayes making Chris work for his baskets

Me Gusta

that greasy italian
couldn't they go with

IT
MT
Reke starting?

How the hell do you like Vasquez go all the way?
wow come on you let that horrible fucker score at the last second?
u got vasquezed

I just don’t understand how we let those idiots score on us uhhhhhhhhhhh

Down 9

After the way they played the 1st half ill take it

Man I really hate vasquez someone please beat this guy up if you ever see him in person.

How about let’s beat him at basketball instead.

That would work too.

What's with all this anger?
wheres tyreke?
Tyrekes been getting screwed by the refs, thats what.
Big 4th Kings, lets go.
We already know the other team (no matter who) will always fucking score at the end of a quarter
just need to be up by 4 at the end of this one
Defense Is Key

Step it up boys LETS GO!!!

I liked it better when we were down 5, but
I found it 44.4% better than where we are now
Something tells me the Kings won't pull this off.

These little offensive bursts mean nothing if they can’t stop the other guys on defense. They bring the lead down to 7 and then watching it balloon back to 13.

they were playing good d

keep the faith

Really wish Cousins would have made one extra pass there

Instead of the midrange jumper. I know it’s dropping but someone was wide on the wing.

Some of that zone we played vs the pacers

would be great now

There we go

cousins gonna dominate them this quarter

WOW!

DMC with the euro step

another 8 point 4th quarter for the opposing team will be nice
Cousins is having a good scoring game.

He has been the best player for the Kings tonight.

Very true. IT been very good too. Evans having an off night, so we needed someone else to step up.

Dam cousins learning tyrekes euro step! Fkn sexy as hell.

frack!!!

damnit. open 3s

Time to start scoring you fucks
We need a MT23 run, but he does not seem to be complying.
mmmm, possibly even tyreke time now?

Thornton sometimes does boneheaded moves…smh

So Reke with another disappearing act?
LOL

Timing is everything in life, eh?

I know, right?

I asked that right when G-Man was feeding the stats.

I guess not!

Down 5 we are okay
Go the stop. Tiem for a run.

Hornets are ready to break if we can get a couple of scors

here it comes!
put it in the motherfuckin BUCKET
and send him to the motherfucking line
Time for LuK
reke coming alive

woo!

reke is heating up.
HELL YEAH

Tyreke with the and 1

Tyreke instant offense!!!! yes baby!!!!!!!

Bench reke

Trade reke

for andre miller

we need a real pg

Keep it going, Kings!
thats when you yell AND 1
hahahahaha. awesome
No clue what Reke's stats have been recently

but he sure as hell seems to have turned a corner of sorts

Him and Cousins.

I love it.

more subtle with Reke

Cousins is just flat out exploding

Cousins is my fave.
Keep it going strong!

Marcus needs to do something. Seriously.

Can anyone else sense a big MT23 three coming up soon?

Evans on fire at the hope. D starts collapsing. MT Time.

OMG we are within 3. Here is where I start cheering and scaring my cat:)
good riddance on that and 1

3 hornets swiped tyreke before the call

B's D breaking down

Time to take control of this one

everything was coming easy early

crazy shots hae stopped falling. they feel pressure now.

Tyreke Evans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He feeling it now!!!

Im sensing a huge chuck steal leading to a thomas 3.

love it.

reminds me of the scrappy play of bobby j

OOOH that would have been huge.
MT is not feeling it
Time to get him out of there
2 point game. Keep this momentum going.
Thornton can't hit water if he was standing in a boat
Shooters keep shooting. Any minute now.
eeh, Reke I'm not sure about that one.
Going for one big snot. Need to calm down
Lol Smart
Yelling at Reke for taking that bad shot.
yikes that was ugly
FUCKING MARCUS COME ON
Pound the fucking ball down low. This team is trying to make the unnecessary home run plays

Thornton just needs to pour some water in his face and ask himself whats wrong with him. Then go to the gym and practice his shooting over NINE THOUSANDDDDDDDDD times.

why are they shooting threes. Go inside to cousins.
Didn't need to do that!!!
Every defensive rebound belongs to DeMarcus right now
Why do teams who can't shoot

Try to fucking shoot?

Yeah, honestly. Not the time for threes.
Smart time out

Coach looks pissed at their play

Gene Hackman like
this

lol good call

lol

Smart is PISSSSED

and not afraid to show it
Smart will tell them to make good plays. Get it down low damnit
lol

“Hey guys, make good plays.”

“Oh, that’s what you wanted us to do? Oh, shit our bad.”

im not even mad,,, heat check
Smart tell em to pass the ball
Tyreke Evans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Drive the fucking lane stop shooting 3’s

Yep. ditto for everyone else.

Cousins almost has 30,…HE IS NONE TRUCKING STOPPABLE GO TO HIM! Cousins can get 40 if we run plays for him.

Just go for the high percentage shots.
Has to be one of the least intelligent teams in the league.

Cousins has been dominating. Ball movement hasn’t been horrible. Chipped away at the deficit down to 2. Now you start chucking 3s again that got us in this place to begin with.

They get too excited, it comes with the territory with such a youthful ball club.
Time to get JT back in for Hayes, and start working it low to DMC and JT.
This team has a tendency to jack up 3's when they should just make the simple plays
How the hell did Reke make that?
It's what he does, but would like us to execute well on O
Hustlin Huskie

Strikes again

My oh my thomas you are AWESOME

Please, please keep IT in the game!
That's the kind of play that Hayes does well
Nice steal Chuckwagon
Chris can't do anything with Reke driving the lane
I love me some MOMENTUM
GREAT offense there
It's the fucking Hornets. We all knew this was going to happen.
Haha. Is not over yet. No jinxes please
Just talking about the comeback. Outcome is no guarantee.
Thornton

What is wrong with your shooting tonight?

hornets with 2 pts. so far

in the 4th.

so happy. thank you kings
Anyone Notice

It 7pm Pacific Time the time Home games start im just saying lol

Cousins is 4 rebounds away from another 20-20 night
Thornton having some serious issues
Every single time

DMC gets away from the paint, Okafor has to follow, only Kaman at the hoop, and Reke IMMEDIATELY runs to the hoop

with the ball
So what you are saying is we aren't going to run this play ever again?
11-2 advantage for the Kings so far in this quarter.

NICE

Man the G-man is so positive I Love him

He's fired up
We are lucky to have him in our corner.
Damn. IT falls and gets up like it's nothing

Thomas wants it baaaaaaaDDdd.

IT is such a winner
Love me some I.T.
YES! kids got energy and heart
crap, stop ion!
ISAIAH FUCKING THOMAS
Good things happen when IT is on the court
As great as DMC has been, maybe IT gets the game ball if they pull this out.
Absofrickinlutely!!
IT 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
does tyreke always

do that stupid ass pose every time he makes a layup

I smell troll
Virgin post, too.
how is that a troll

its more of an observation

An observation geared to get an emotional reaction

Trolling 101.

Ice in his veins!
"Coooooold Blooooooooded"
Instead of Bill Walton making color commentating appearances

Can we please get Gus Johnson?

Cousins has become a much much more patient player
Cousins gets FTs - How many points does he have?
Gotta make those free throws.
This has turned into a great game
moving screen, wow.
COusins gonna get some national attention very soon
Yep. Hopefully tonight!!!!
ABSOLUTE MACHINE
We have got to win this game.
Ah Tyreke. the hell
Sloppy MT
Wow
I should honestly just say something critical, then something good happens.
keep being critical

we’ll understand :)

NEED D - GET THIS WIN. BIG FOR TEAM MOMENTUM
Louisiana Hot Sauce from MT23
What time is it?

It’s Thornton Time

IT taking the charge!
Thornton: I forgive you
IT

Im a grown ass man SON!!!!!11

IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Defense! Defense! Defense! Defense!
Nice to see a pass by Evans. We need Evans from last 4 games, not chucker
IT again and again, all game long!
Thornton's mom is fired up

Damn Thomas ROY PLEASE

CLASSIC

Thorton’s mom

Anyone who questions IT's ability to defend in this league

Should watch the last few minutes.

Go for the juggular. SWEEP THE LEG JOHNNY
Yup. Isaiah Thomas is in my top 5 favorite NBA players.

You have to love the guy.

TYREKE!!!!

The Layup King!

Tyreke Evans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fuck yes!!

Nice screen by Cuz to open up the lane for Reke
Please, please, please finish this game out.
He's a little bullet.
22-8 advantage in the fourth.

FUQ YES!!!

Get soem D. Keep it up.
fakku yesu~
Is that a haiku fakku?
いや、それだけで言っている
Wow, the Kings have stepped on the throttle (both ends of the court) in this quarter
LETS GO KINGS!! LETS GO!!
good foul by hayes
really impressed by DMC tonight
Especially how he came out after half.
great foul Hayes

great second half. Really enjoyable to see them fight out of that hole

Hayes also had that nice strip that helped start momentum swing.
Man it hurts watching IT play!

He reminds me of Jon Barry the way he hits and slides all over the floor, lol!!!

ya

he reminds me of jon b, and bobby j. just the bench mob, the way he gives the kings so much energy when he is in

Agreed

I already love this kid…and as I type: IT FOR 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1st half= shit 2nd half=Basketball

Reke doing what he does best

not shoot 3s

This, all day, every day
PLEASE Kings

Should get the ball back with 2 min left and a lead. Clock management. Smart basketball. Pun very much intended.

This may be a stretch

Should IT be in consideration for ROY?

Ricky is playing pretty great
No. But all Rookie second team, yes
your joking right
It's a serious question. His play has been unexpected
No, it's Kyrie Irving's to lose. If he doesn't get it, it will be Rubio.
maybe

if they only count 4th quarters

They look a step quicker right now

Smelling victory.

Hornets never quit
The Munchie Mobile would be better if they deep fried more crappy food
This quarter has done nothing to disuade people from trying to play

IT, Tyreke and Thornton together has it?

is it too late to make an IT push for the rookie game??
No. But a lot of good PGs
Nope, a win tonight wouldn't hurt him
Too bad JT got into early foul trouble or our starting 5 would have beautiful stats again.
Ha. Forget stats. I'll take the win if we can finish it off. good team lesson
Just 2 minutes and 38 seconds, hopefully to a win
Alright, we need a handful of defensive stops gentlemen.
Just D up now, D up hard.
COLLLLDDD BLOOOOODEDDD!!!

MY GOOODNESS

Was that Jimmer in IT's body?
are you serious?????
I believe I am finally committing to a black IT jersey
Give it to lil man
holy shiet

“Somebody turn the sprinklers on”

This team gets doubled so easily
Love Coach Smart chewing on Evans
Coaches really shouldn't chew on their players

Especially on the basketball court. I don’t want to see that.

Best Coach in the League does it to his All-Stars and his future HoF-er
I think you missed the snark in that comment :P.
big chasm fall

not my first, won’t be my last

Yeah. Well deserved. Went from being a socre first distributor to tunnel vision starting in Q2 tonight

He needs to learn not too.

Thats What

A good coach does

i love how smart runs this team

I love how animated and active coach Smart is. So refreshing and awesome!
Smart letting Evans have it

Love it. Hold everyone accountable.

Very good thing. Me likey Smart.
Man crushin on Smart right now
Cousins needs 2 more rebounds!
Haha. I'll settle for 1 win.
That would be great!
I can't stress playing good defense right now enough, please Kings!
chuch hayes has been great!!
smart said "pass it through"

meaning bounce pass

Purple Hayes putback.
Wow. How does Cousins grab these boards?!
Where's the guy that was ready to fire Smart at?

LOL!

hahaha. was thinking bout that earlier.
Where's the guy that wanted to bench/trade Reke?

COUSINS 30-20 FUCK YES

Close this one out Kings
Cuz doing it again!
Thornton took away dmc's 20-20
COUSINS!

YOU AREEEE RIDICULOUS!!!

WOOOOO

3-game streak, biatches! Safety dance!

I'm ready to shake some ass!
This just in, the entire Kings roster has received a technical foul
GAME OVER

OMG WOW

thank you. good night.

nice win. i was going to say even if they lost, they fought the whole way after the lull in the 2nd. good to see them rewarded with the win

cousins is a beast

Who has the best center in the league? We do!!!!!!!!!!

The Magic...

Howard isn’t as good as this cousins guy…hes on a level of his own.

OK

Who WILL have the best center in the league in a year? #KingsAllDay

give it a few, but he'll be in the convo
Nope

Howard is it….the only one I have rated higher. IMO at least. By the end of next season we’ll be calling him Neo because he’ll be “the one”.

I want DMC to get another rebound. He deserves a 20-20 game again
If/when kings win

I need to see a photoshop of IT and Cousins as the REAL Shriek and Donkey

FUCK YA

I knew we were gonna win baby!

good call

let me guess you’l predict a victory when we play charlotte too

Postgame

Will there be boobs for everyone?

Lets get this bitch GIF'ed up
If the Kings can win a few more

Cuz may make the AS squad as a coaches choice.

highly doubt it
Bynum will start

Cousins should be in the convo though.

What about Whiteside?
unfortunately little chance
This

If the Kings were winning I could see this happening, but nope don’t see it happening

Back to Back

100 Point games?

Funny

On my drive home, Gary Gerould mentioned the Kings were going to have a rough time breaking 100 tonight. But at that point, the offense was miserable.

3 Game win streak!

First REAL streak of the year lol

This^

Was what I was typing to post lol

And a win on the road.
DMC get that 20th board, brotha
GIF this 4th Quarter!
Ice-T has jet packs that stop on a dime.
As Jerry would say

better teams find a way to win

Isaiah Thomas is ridiculous
Someone get Smart some Gatorade so he can finish this game
DMC, one more rebound please!
This was a veteran win tonight

Team went down. Actually didn’t panic and kept playing their game. Came back on inferior team on the road when the inferior team cooled off. Proud of our boys.

Good take

They kept working, got hot, and ran away with it in the fourth.

Get another rebound Cousins!
Cousins 28 pts 19 boards 2 fouls

I’m so excited for him and this team right now.

2 fouls as impressive as all else
Ice-T to the line
damn Thornton, let DMC get that board
IT really should be starting..
Lol. Not yet. Good game for him, but he's not displacing Evans or MT23
Nope, use him as the spark off the bench
can't help but make the argument with this kind of play..amazing!

And this is coming from a big jimmer fan

B-Jax2.0...sorta

it is b-jax 2.0 with more d

Outscoring them 30-12 in the 4th

Wow

FUCK YES!

Should be studying for a test right now, but god DAMN I love this team! This makes the sting of those hard loses so much better.

I want a freaking 5 game win streak by the end of the week!

I'd rather get DMC out of the lineup now to avoid injury

than get that last rebound

knock on wood
be optimistic

I feel Like....

Dancing

we gotta win streak our way into that thunder game
One more tomorrow night against N
awesome team effort in the 4th

cousins is really turning into a monster on the defensive boards, that’s helping so much to get a stop get possession and get going on offense

NOOOOOOOOO Cousins didn't get it!
Who cares? We win!!!
Good win

Great fourth quarter.

DMC is just plain 'ole nasty
IT is extremely well spoken
Which implies that our other players are not?

I’ll give you Reke, but I think everyone else is well-spoken.

Reke is barely audible half the time.

But I like his post game comments about commanding his teammates to be in “attack mode”

"What did you expect Colin Powell to say?"

“I be President yo.”

woohoo!

How you like that Kings fans! Another great comback for your Kings!

We WIN

Don't post a .gif in the game thread and use a subject line next time.
2 straight triple digit games!
The IT hustle play on the floor, and Reke finish

Is def. one of my favorite sequences of the year so far.

START IT, MOVE REKE TO 3.
Have to gve the game ball to Ice(Ise)(Isce)(Iz) T

He changed the pace of the game and hit some huge shots and opened up the floor for Evans. DMC is simply a beast. Nearly two straight 20/20s? Really?

WTF noone said there was a 2nd thread…I was in the first one this whole time!

Insider secret

I hate you all..Respect my Authoritae!!!!!!!!!

lmao forever alone

All by myselffff…i wanna be..All by myselffffffff

Only the cool people know about 2ndgame threads!

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

You should know by now the 2nd thread is always posted an hour and a half after the first one.

I am rarely on for game threads..figured the first one wasn’t that long so didnt need a second one

If the IT fits, you must aquit.
I seriously want a 5 game win streak going by the end of the week. It's happening
Jinx. But I do like our chances tomm.
Kevin Love out? Conditions for a win are ideal, as long as they keep playing well.

Don’t tease us Kings! Keep getting better!

Plus Black Thursday? I will personally make sure that I scream till I lose my voice. I am willing them to win!

winning streak here we go !!! Dance Biatches!!!!!!!!
I cannot wait till Thursdays game!! Ill be there in black!
Lets get the GIF's turned ONNNNN!!!!
And in otehr news, Aykis now 17-7 on predictions this season and gunning for the first seed
COLD BLOODED

Post-Game Thread is up!

Aykis Fail on not posting link to other one…You lose all your Ziller Bucks

Post Game Thread where are you!!!

We are ready to DANCE!!!!!!!!!!

I don't usually care about +/-

But IT with +18 seems appropriatel

Kings Win

Kings went 61 points in the 2nd half, DMC and IT carried this team and Tyreke too
