Hello, hello
Is there anybody out there?
Is it me you're looking for?
hi

is this the right place?

I don't know, are you the right person?
OMFG TERRIBLE CALL
4 point game! Let's go!
Tyreke Evans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here we go!

Evans and Thornton HEATING UP

I have liked how we've played in the 3rd quarter lately
Haha

Who ever said that we are just deceiving them to blast out in the second half is a genius and knows Coach Smart like his mother

DEFEND YOUR HONOR KINGS!

That was a cool commercial
But by god, dont you dare breathe on Rubio.
If this team can ever learn to start games without going in a big hole

they’ll be pretty good

New thread new outlook
Let the positive energy flow like wine
We have this game

the wolves really have nothing besides rubio and ridnour making a couple shots/plays, and pekovic being huge

they are about to get grinded out
Don't you dare underestimate Joey Crawford

and the power of his whistle

Nice shot. Need more than 2 assists from Evans though.
Rubios English is so much better than is was when he was drafted.
You mean I think that english his good not like year first when first draft from the BN of A
Of course

But can he cut his own steak now?

Keep it going Kings

Oh come on that wasn’t an intentional shoulder by Pek?

Pekovic Ram DMC over

That was a damn charge.

LOL! I love that look from Cousins while he's on the ground
LMAO at the look cuz gave the ref after the no call
lol...the way DMC looked at ref
STEP ON HIS FACE CUZ!!!
lol, pekovic charged hella, thats what i do when playing sometimes and even i know its a foul
Nice pass from Evans
Okay, that was the first legit thing Pek has done all night.
z

Switch JT to be on Pek

This is sort of hilarious..
in what way exactly?
That this guy is doing this to us

No racism intended…But it’s always the white guy that does it to us

oh my god tyreke is fucking good

Go home …just go home… I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS. Why do horrible players like pekovicic and samuel dalembert always destroy us!? Man we always get screwed by these refs.

Only against the Kings would you see this..
If Cousins led with his shoulder

He would’ve been ejected/fined/thrown in prison

You got to be fucking kidding me?

That is the kind of shit that happened when Brad Miller was our center

They just compated Pek to Ewing...

Holy crap

WHAT THE FUCK
im sorry i had to get officially pissed at that one
Don't me sorry.

I 100% agree with you. Those idiotic twolvez announcers need to bitch slapped so hard so their sense comes back to them. Man I can’t stand when terrible plays like PEK get lucky for two games then everyone thinks they’re the second comming of Tim Duncan. Ridiculous.

remember when Ike Diogu tore it up for like 3 games in a row for us?
Two games in a row.
they weren't saying he is literally as good as Ewing

he used Ewing’s move

Bro, I thought we had this conversation.
Might need to mute these announcers
Just got home

For those with Dish network, what channel is the game on?

451 I believe.
Its not showing up for me?!
I'm not sure

I just saw that number in the 1st thread. I live in Portland lol. No game for me

This is insane

I cannot believe this…………CAN YOU GUYS BELIEVE THIS!?

5 points, gget some fuckin BUCKETS
Cousins offensive game is lacking

But he’s picked it up on the boards

He can’t do any moves or they call him for a foul and he already has 3

He is fighting a rhino that gets to camp in the paint
Another nice pass by Evans. Like this better
LMAO....

Kings players shouted in Tollivers ear when he shot the 3 from the corner..

didn't know you could do that..honestly
They should be careful, you can get a tech for that
They haven't called that in quite some time
I'll make this simple, yes they do.
That happens 99.999999% of the time when you shoot on the side of the opponents bench....
I'll make this simple, no it doesn't.
100% agree. I remember Mo Williams on the Cavs getting a tech for that once.
Yes, it really does.
Why you think the Cavs owner or something got so much

heat for doing the towel waving in front of the basket? Same thing with players…if your on the court, then sure…but they were on the bench, not in the game, screaming in his ear…I don’t think that happens often.

i think it was cavs owner...not sure tho
I like Reke's logic there

“They can’t stop me when I penetrate, and I haven’t been able to get my jumper going. Now’s a good time to shoot a jumper.”

He was wide open. He needs to make that shot money this summer.
we say that every summer
It's still true. Usually year 3, but his shot was extra broken
Omg that made me laugh so hard.

Man wash you are just so incredible.

i agree, put JT on Pek before he gets hit 5th foul.
Or Hayes.

Hayes would end that shit real quick.

7 AND 7 BY Cuz... time for THAT drink
This Is Ugly

Disgusting basketball but still winnable

Drive drive drive drive! They are in the penalty!

Lets go Kings..Start Raising the Hot Hands!

A win is within striking distance as ugly as this crapfest has been.

The Kings can do it, believe!

Actually scratch that, when you gotta rest someone, bring in Hayes for Pek

Wow those twolves fans disrespecting cuz man I hope cousins comes in the 4th blazing on PEK.

Wolves suck, we will win
And alley oop in your face.
Rubio buttering up the Refs

RESIST THOSE BOYISH GOOD LOOKS YOU BASTARDS

Cousins should have passed that one out
Kings can't get a foul

Sure the kings been getting called for em all night

there ya go JT

that mans gettin strong

Pekovic has only been playing 20 mpg this season

And hes built like a tank. Gotta imagine hes gonna gas.

Was that JT?

Speaking of Ewing

Come on JT..Get hulkish on them!

i dont think id call wes johnson one of the best atheletes in the league
CUZ rebounding crazy man... love it
bayou bomb that shit!
1 possession game
oh wow.

So amazing. That was lovely ball movement.

Wow screw these refs!!!!! I cant believe this crap! can you guys believe this wtf cousins with a 4th foul.

BALL MOVEMENT IS SO SEXY
Thornton

lookin like a comeback

call me crazy but?

didnt pekovic just off arm the fuck out of cousins?

Yeah he has been doing that a lot that i have seeen

Kings are in this game.
foul on JT!?!?!?!?

tolliver just pushed up at him from the neck

Lmao..JT cracks me up
Wow officiating is awful
ANthony Tolliver is not an attractive dude.
Thats why he aspired to be in the NBA. Get them with money, not looks.

Or is that me?..

Cuz wears an elbow in the face and HE gets the foul
Can we get a foul call?
fucking terrible officiating
Did I just hear a fan heckling Thompson saying "Your Eagles lost!"
These refs are doing one heckuva job.
they really just fucked them 2 plays in a row, gave the wolves that basket

bullshit foul on cousins
bullshit foul on thompson

You stupid FUCKS

you had it, 2 point game

John

If you’re gonna jack a 3 from the top of the key. Get the hell back on defense.

Agh. Dreadful.
Backup Big man Kryptonite hits again
It's always the worst fucking players too.
Screw this crowd.

Why are they cheering pek. man he sucks so bad come on JT you can do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because he has a timberwolves jersey on?

If troutlaw had a 25 point night you’d be cheering too.

i swear i just saw Smart say Come the F*** on going into theTO

Wow

I hit rewind on my DVR and I think you’re right, lol!

Hayes is not having a good game at all.
man hayes cant even lift his arms past his shoulders
Wolves are pretty damn talented

Don’t get me wrong, the Hornets play hard but this team has some really good talent

Yeah

Lots of top picks on that team.

Still A LOT of time left.
I think Keith is going to need to go a bit deeper into the bench due to fatigue

Might be time now so that we can have our starters for 5 minutes and in.

Put in Whiteside!!!!!

+1

Where is my sake bomb?

Pek would toss his skinny ass around like a barbie

lets get salmons out and thomas in and move reke to the 3.

Here we fucking go again.
Pek.. 19 & 7 in 24minutes?...Unacceptable.
you haven't been watching him lately
with Love out hardly surprising

plus against a team that flops alot

And with DMC either out or being careful because of fouls the entire game
Because we flop a lot?

The reasons for it doesn’t matter? The FACT is he is doing it, and THAT is unacceptable. I don’t care whether were flopping, leaving him open, or picking him up and helping him dunk it, shouldn’t be doing that. With or without Love playing.

lol

and you have no clue why I wrote what I did.

But keep on derping

No, I haven't.

But I know far too well that he shouldnt almost have 20 & 10 in 25minutes against ANY team. Fucking terrible.

Reke made a shot after the buzzer, good to see him get one to fall.
Why is JT 54% at FT?

I thought he was like 86% in college?

we got this

get lead down to 5 goin into 4th

LOL pekovic
this is some crazy ass shit
What is the StR record for use of the word Fuck in one nites game threads?
Pookey's not here.

We’re not even close.

FUCK FUCKITY FUCK FUCK... just trying to help the cause.
LOL

I just searched “fuck” on pookey’s comment history, came up with 965 comments. For comparison, the salacious curser I am came up with a measly 135.

sans Pookey?
fuck..thought we had a shot
I guess we will have to fucking wait until we play another fucking game to set the fucking record of using the fucking word "fuck"

Fuck, Fuck, Fuck,Fuck, Fuck, Fuck,Fuck, Fuck, Fuck,Fuck, Fuck, Fuck,Fuck, Fuck, Fuck,Fuck, Fuck, Fuck,Fuck, Fuck, Fuck,Fuck, Fuck, Fuck,Fuck, Fuck, Fuck,Fuck, Fuck, Fuck,Fuck, Fuck, Fuck,Fuck, Fuck, Fuck,Fuck, Fuck, Fuck,Fuck, Fuck, Fuck,Fuck, Fuck, Fuck,Fuck, Fuck, Fuck,Fuck, Fuck, Fuck,Fuck, Fuck, Fuck,Fuck, Fuck, Fuck,Fuck, Fuck, Fuck,Fuck, Fuck, Fuck,Fuck, Fuck, Fuck,Fuck, Fuck, Fuck,Fuck, Fuck, Fuck,Fuck, Fuck, Fuck,Fuck, Fuck, Fuck,Fuck, Fuck, Fuck,Fuck, Fuck, Fuck,Fuck, Fuck, Fuck,Fuck, Fuck, Fuck,Fuck, Fuck, Fuck,Fuck, Fuck, Fuck,Fuck, Fuck, Fuck,Fuck, Fuck, Fuck,Fuck, Fuck, Fuck,Fuck, Fuck, Fuck,Fuck, Fuck, Fuck,Fuck, Fuck, Fuck,Fuck, Fuck, Fuck,Fuck, Fuck, Fuck,Fuck, Fuck, Fuck,Fuck, Fuck, Fuck,Fuck, Fuck, Fuck,Fuck, Fuck, Fuck,Fuck, Fuck, Fuck,Fuck, Fuck, Fuck,

Fuckin’ … what the fuckin’ fuck … who the fuck … fuck this fuckin’ … how did you two fuckin’ fucks … fuck! – Boondock Saints

Certainly illustrates the diversity of the word

Thank you was waiting for that!

omfg

SCORE A BASKET

This was looking so good just a minute ago.
Pekovic tapped into DMC's mojo tonight
nice shot.....
lol, and tyreke's favorite play
LMFAO

That shit is bloody RIDICULOUS

Really reke a fucking 24 second violation?

Uhh...

uhhh what..that was an airball

Are other people watching on dish network?
Hands off my Pekovic!
Stupid clock people, they gave him like 3 seconds
Refs whistled it dead.
Still
Homer clock-watcher is a homer.

Go figure.

"Pek is building his legacy tonight"
his legacy of having one good/great game

everybody does it, his own teammate Brad Miller has had multiple huge games, and nobody gives a fuck about him

remember brad millers clutch ass 3 and then 3 point play in the playoffs vs celtics?

when he was on the bulls

brad miller > pekovic

Could get a triple double

Points, Rebounds and Outback Steakhouse Dinners

Ok. 9. Need one good quarter
Every time Cuz goes out they kill us

I say put him back in and play him until he fouls out

Then they kill us the rest of the game

Terrible

Slow tired but still in this game some how. Mention this last night it is almost 7pm PST it was right around this time last night the kings went on their run which is also the time home games start hmmm lets see if i can go 2 for 2

I like the Cal Fit ads
Kings looks slow, Minny looks rested

Almost like the Kings just played a road game last night and Minny has had 2 nights off at home. World class insight from Grant Napier.

There is always a fucking no-name piece of shit that kills us every game.
Pekovic is having a bigger game than Koufus
See "King Killer" in your Webster's
Wow. MN scorekeepers generous with assists.

Gave Rubio one for Pec’s post up move according to yahoo.

Assists have never been accurate stats
Another fouth quarter like last night please.
Reke should attack Rubio
Kings come back and win
Though I wish Cousins was in
wow, thanks joe

Good job calling the pushoff against Beasley

4th quarter and we have 60 points. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE.

Better than the Mav's game!
goddamnit, i hope this isnt a quarter of bricked jumpshots
DMC for hayes please
This is an odd lineup
Hayes hasn't played his best tonight.
Ugh. Rebounds. We look a step slower than Wolves.
Pekovic is gassed
wow jimmer just fucking clapped when beasley made the free throw
#33333333333333333333333333
#3333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333
Thank you Jimmer
get on a roll!

Jimm3r!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jimmer

Come … demi-god time!

Good play Jimmer!

All we ask!

Beasly was too high
Beasley is stoned lol
Knock down another
thank heavens FOR

jimmer

Yup, that's Beasley.
jimmer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JIMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ELBOW THOSE FUCKS JIMMER!!!!!!

FUCK YA

Jimm3r!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jimmer da man!
8 points feels insurmountable
No shit Mr. Skeptical
This is good Jimmer
God, it is time for some legit Jimmer-mania, and I hate the fanboys too.

How about 4 or 5 triples this quarter, Jimmer

JIMMER SO TOUGH!!
Like a complete 180, but like even more so, like you 360ed just so you could 180 again, we're at like 540 right now.
I give it a 9.5 out of 10
i just hate him when hes playing bad
Jimmer is feeling it
crowd booing jimmer

pekovic has practically elbowed everybody in the front row this game

In a properly called game, he would have fouled out by now. Instead, Cuz has 4...
Well you know when you're Ewing, you get the star calls

*chasm

stupid foul
More like bad perimeter defense with Jimmer on Ridonour

that forced Hayes to step up

ya id blame the guard on that one
Nobody else shoot

Give the ball to JIMMER!!!

Wow. He ran into Hayes mid section. Not sure how that is a foul.
Answer

He is a Kings player who in inadvertently touches a T-wOLVE therefore foul is called

for some reason,

i feel hayes is like the new Garcia. Good vet leadership, d, short on everything else

Jimmer ain't settling for no loss''''
Jimmer is the best shooter in the WORLD! I feel more valuable than kobe at making his shot!
Infact, the complete better player!
Jimmer never looked so good.
HOW IS THAT A FOUL ON HAYES? I HATE THESE FUCKING REFS.

Would not mind burning these refs alive in front of their families.

whoa
Consequences will never be the same
Yeah that was a bit much.
wheres tyreke? dmc?
I'd put Cousins in for Hayes

Let the rest ride for a little

I am hoping to say Winner, Winner Jimmer dinner after this game…Bring on the miracles!

wtf klondike bar?

Yeah it should be an It’s Its commercial

Brad Miller in

There is hope

oh come on jimmer
Miller isnt exactly a sigh of relief...can hit the 3..
good rebounding j
that swing right there hurts
dammn beasly really is high as shit
How does one airmail a freethrow?
FUCK HAYES AGAIN
f chuck hayes
CHUCKWAGON

Dribble drive why????

ahhhh what was that Hayes?
Jimmer is automatic
JIMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

JIMMMMERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!me timbers

Hayes is slightly above worthless...

zero offense and slow on d

Step away from the keyboard.
why?

he is so out of shape that the only thing he is good at – he is not good at

BOOM YA FUCK YEAH
Is it time to wake up?
DONTE SUCKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Jimmer 9, Wolves 4 here in the fourth
CUz only has 4 right???? put him back in!!
seriously

Hayes is not looking good tonight.

it was hilarious

Looking at the white guys behind the kings bench after jimmer hit that three. They don’t see black people in Minnesota I guess.

Beasley just hit a tough shot

I can live with that

pass ur to junmer
B52 is looking like a fat Cessna
Really

That Jimmer & Hayes two man game didn’t work the first two times

god fucking damnit
the ball goes strait to the t wolves
Here comes Cousins!!!
fuck ya, good play by jimmer
d Greene

BEAUTIFUl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

now PLAY SOME D
wheres the goddamn scoreboard??
Wow! Maybe that will get things going!

Really an offensive foul..WTF!

22 fouls on the kings, 14 on the wolves.
knew that was going to happen.
Donte has no post game
It's crazy for somebody his size and athleticism
Really?

With that lineup only IT should be handling the fucking ball

Jimmer to Donte
Wow, I'm lagging really bad
this won't be easy

but enjoying it

Crowd gets mad, Refs call a foul. Is that how this works?
Greene did keep hitting him.
ya that was a legit foul
this crap is so rigged.

It’s hard to love the NBA

this.

Refs need to be held accountable.

I'd love to hear why it would be rigged for the Wolves

If anything, they’d LOVE to build our 4 game winning streak in to the national game.

He was holding onto Dontes wrist the whole time

smart needs to put in the 5 to finish the game right now

or i will throw shit

leave Jimmer, sit Salmons
get cuz out there
We need to protest these idiotic refs.

I nominate section, diegoking and wally waggon as new candidates to ref all kings games.

I'm actually a ref.
One Fucking Run

Thats all we need 5-0 7-0 run thats it Im not asking for much

how is Greene still as bad as his rookie ?
Ok. Donte shoul have given it up.

But you arevfreaking kidding me. With the crud Pec has done, that’s an O foul?

Why is Hayes shooting floaters?

Why is JJ shooting?

if Jimmer keeps this up I'll ride his jock all night...just for tonight tho
Barea is a bitch.

Wishing Bynum hit him harder so he broke ribs and arm

You sound like a nazi.
unnecessary.
I know Im going nuts. im really pissed at the wolves
Slow down buddy
JT and DMC need back in. Now.
our sf are the worst
JIMMER TIME BABY

JIMMMERRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jimmer > Rubio
Jimmer is now playing AWESOME!!
another missed call
Blatant push-off

Terrible officiating this game.

Jimmer Baby. new starting SF.

Great to see Jimmer do Jimmer things
Succinctly well put.
Fuck the refs.

The Twolves are passing it right to Jimmer

Jimmer's baskets needed tonight.
He's playing well
JIMMER!!!!!!!!
HHHHHHAAAAAAAAA

JIMMMEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

JIMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jimmer can't miss
HERE WE GO BABY!!!!!!!!!!!
He has magma on him!!!!!!!

Liquid FIRE!!!!

Jimmer Is on FIRE!!!!!
Rubio defense is terrible
I CANT HANDLE THE JIMMERNESS
Jimmer is destroying Barea/Rubio
Come on Jimmer let this be your game.
Two rookie point guards playing great = First World Problem
perspective

don’t want any of it

zz

How is that not goaltending?

FEAR THE FREDETTE
Jimmers growing in front of our eyes!
Jimmer has single-handedly brought us back,
Jimmer Mania!!!!
Jimmer lighting up makes Barea and Rubio look like N00bs.
Missed goaltending call
This is the Jimmer that we drafted
should have been GOALTENDING
how was that not Goaltending
Can I say it...? JIMMER FREDETTE HAS TAKEN OVER THIS BALLGAME!!
fucking robbed
WTF

Got into Jimmer. Someone spiked his coffee

Lol more like someone gave him coffee
That should have been goal tending!!! Damn
New game, let's play some goddamn defense.
Wow donte hits the FTs

We got a game people!

thats is such goaltending
That wasn't even close. Refs should have called that.
you have to be shitting me
Wowww...

Eff these refs.

Oh, shit...please guard D Williams...he is gonna dunk all over us..I can see it..

TYhats not a chgarge?
WTTGFFFF!
4# !”4e
qwr’p;olesat’ u’gsr

putanat@signintherewithout@space
kajfjda;dkja

These refs are awful

Call something there. This is clown shit
Ok DMC...activate beast mode?
three blind mice, three blind mice....
Refs not givin anything my god

I don’t mind tyreke. Please give us tyrekes drives.

Let's move, Kings!
z

It’s ok we are only down by a Jimmer

Lmfao nice one.

It’s ok we are only down by a Jimmer and One

cmon smart

put your best players in

SHITTY SHITTY SHITTY SHITTY REFS!!!!!!!
Rubio with 5 steals to along with his 13 assists.
Jesus fucking christ.
jimmer was open donte
Adleman looking he has an ulcer

lol

“Now these fucks decide to play in a fourth quarter”

“Fucking free throws Jesus Christ”

Donte had Jimmer right there! Geez
We must win!!!!!!!! Or the world will ENDDDDDDDDD
damn it Donte. Take him out
fuck donte had to get that back to jimmer
Thornton needs to be in
lol. hes ice
Where is tyreke....come on Smart.
I dont get why JT is not in.
SMART TAKE HIM OUT GIVE ME REKE AT THE 3
yes foul jimmer you fools
Jimmer is the one looking like the vet
and Rubio says "screw you"
jimmer should have just taken a crazy shot when he jumped
Yah, I would have allowed it.

Like Donte every time you mean?

Tonight, with everyone else in a coma
Its is time for Reke

The game is getting physical … his style

Reke for IT please
god fucking damnit
fouls, fouls, everywhere the fouls
ohh REEKEY REKEY REKE
that was a real selfish play by donte
Take out Donte and JJ
Please take greene and hickson out.

Get tyreke in at the 3 and JT at 5. Move cousins to 4.

Joey Crawford

clap clap clap,clap,clap

loves the tim-ber

wolves wolves wolves wolves wolves

put reke in and get rid of donte. he is playing like horse shit
When has Donte not played like shit?

Maybe 10 games total over his whole career?

please put in tyreke

We need to Reke cousins on PEK and seal the win.
It should be same lineup as yesterday down the stretch

But jimmer instead of IT

exaclty jimmer thornton reke
terrible... Smart really is a below average coach low key
c'mon dude. watch games. smart is our best coach maybe since adelman.
I don't get this end of game line-up
Again, Smart sucks at player rotations.

There is no fucking way JJ or Donte should be in.

Smart...

Tyreke,Jimmer,Thornton,Demarcus, JT/Hayes NOW PLEASE!

i swear to god greene has the brain capicity of a 5th grader
might be too little too late in my opinion for Reke.

shouldve came in at the 5 minute mark

whatever happens leave jimmer in
for better or for worse

Smart has a big habit of keeping a whole lineup in if it goes on a run.

If only we made all of our freethrows..we would be ahead right now :(

Just imagine if DeMarcus could play a second without having a foul called
If coach Smart had hair

He’d surely be pulling it out right about now.

Gary St. Jean style
damn this is sad

i want this game!!!!

This rotation BETTER win..

because honestly it should be cchanged

Same lineup

Like both coaches want to play the backups

Jimmer Marcus Tyreke Jason Demarcus

RIGHT NOW

although Greene is shutting down beasley i must say
With Thornton and Tyreke coming in

please keep Jimmer in!

Not necessarily

whole team is guarding him now

Exactly...

It would make it a cake walk for Thornton and Tyreke

Maybe

but if I was smart I would save the confidence.

Why is DOnte still in there!

THATS RIGHT BEASLY YOU IDIOT

stop hurting cousins feelings and fouling him you moron I cant stand you.

jimmer's goni out too?
muhahahahaha
Beasly: our secret weapon
really? take jimmer out?
He must not have been playing defense

so the 11 points in the 4th didn’t matter, hahaha.

Oh, you call that now? Fucking Refs.
fuck bout time
what has IT, Greene and Hickson done to stay on the floor for so long.
There's time, but need to make some points right now.
lol barea I dare u to bump reke like u did jimmer
Time to hit fts

Man PEK EAT IT MOTHER EFFIN CHOKE ON IT PEK

lol beasley sucks

hes keeping us in the game

How many fouls does Pekovich have like 10?
thank you!

but if that was a foul on pek? then how come the other 5 million werent?

agreed
he slides his hip into like like

he’s so big he thinks he just has the right to occupy as much defensive “space” as possible

We can win this...
Ref going to get fired for making that call
z

And Adleman just said Fuck too

foul?
must have been the shitty ass camera angle/.....
Adelman still has the best WHAT THE F_CK IS THIS SHIT? face in the NBA
NOT A GOOD FOUL!
touch foul , we get hammered and get nothing gimme a break
these kings need to stop mopeing around when play is dead and talk to each other.
1 possession
why put thornton on rubio??
333333333333333333333333333333333333333333

Gr33n3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

these fucking fouls!!!!
DONTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NO WAY I CANT BELIEVE THIS! FK U DWILL

You have to be kidding me. That at the end of a game?
that shut us up
that was our chance
our *best chance
Cousins fouled.
man he was wide open
Pek only has 4 fouls. JOKE
the beauty of being aggressive from the get go

you alter how the officials view the rest of the game

its ok, make free throws!

DMC double double

i cant believe we are even in this game
Why is it so hard for this team to stay with 3 point shooters?
COLD BLOODED!
DEFENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this aint over hit these 2 cuz
Well, we still can get this.

Oh god damn it.

wtf a foul why!?!?!

WTF was that cousins???

Why the fuck would you foul at mid court like that?

Cousins making him miss FTS COUSINS YOUR SMART

that was goddamn ridiculous
that coulda lost us the game
he knows something we dont
Kings still need to get better IQ
Bingo!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hmm.

Missed FT by Rubio…not clutch.

Still able to tie it.

Why that foul DMC?!?!

Only down by a jimmer!!!!!!

What sort of play should we run?
Jimmer. That's it.
uh oh. dmc with his fits.
Put Jimmer in!
Jimmer's warm up is off

He’s back in

Bone headed mistakes cost us a winnable game.
nervous
donte for 3 again?

that would be crazy enough to believe it might happen

never. donte can't do that.

No thanks..Would not send the game shot to him

i dont trust donte at all
lol, i agree with all 3 of you
just get a quick two
Yeah. Don't force. Plenty of time.
Still time.
... to question everything if we lose

and if we win praise the team and the coach like they are perfect

put jimmer back in!
Bayou Bomber

3 Ball right now!!!

Smart putting a foot up Marcus and DMC'
i say quick 2, no 3s yet
jimmers been on fire

he better be in

Its only 3...not only is overtime possible...but we can WIN...calm down
give me jimmer
Cousins 3-13

Cousins I R dissapoint :(’

He’s got a double double though

We don't deserve this game..

But it’s still a possible win

a steal
I really, REALLY hate these zebras
just score and get another possession
Joey Crawford

clap clap clap,clap,clap

Of course.

Crawford hates the Kings.

lol NOW they call fouls on pek

fuckin refs

finally another foul in pekovich
yes, bail out call again
jesus

Smart always out there coaching

omfg free throws

Thornton……………mother fucking bitch

good free throws marcus
I am so damn sick and tired of their wolf howls...
what about the score announcer being the only chanting defense?

I hate these teams in order:
1)nuggets
2)blazers
3)twolves
4)knicks
5)rockets
6)hornets(i know we beat them but stupid lucky bastards always almost beat us)

it would help if Thorton looked at the basket while shooting the free throw
now they CANT score
Need to hit these
I'm going to shit my brains out after this, whatever the result
worst. image. evAr.

Told you not to have those Salmons Tacos

DO NOT FOUL THEM KINGS..THAT IS ALL!

2 point game. Time for strategy
If the Wolves miss, I think Jimmer should just dribble down and take a three.
best option
dribble?

not with that full court shooting skill

Calling it Now thorton 3 at the buzzer wins it
WHY DID WE FOUL RUBIO DOWN 2 WITH 33 SECS LEFT

CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN?

DMC just not thinking
demarcus dumb play
I thought he was a bad FT shooter
Yeah. That wasn't a good move.
Even if we dont want to foul, we'll be whistled for one
Foul or straight up D?

I say straight up D

i say foul
yeah, Kings D sucks
Foul Derrick Williams
The goal tending should have been called. Just saying.
Among a million charges and no calls on Pek
seriously how big is that right now
A little late to the party

But I gotta say, win or lose, another solid effort by this team to battle back. I can deal with losses like this – I don’t like ’em, but nice to see some good effort by the Kings.

Ima go on a limb

Tyreke with a steal and a pass to jimmer on the break for a 3.

Steal the inbound kings!

Lets get a stop
ohy my fucking god

FUCK YOU DONTE!

FUCK U DONTE WHY ARE U IN THE GAME
my bullshit prediction almost came true
Damn

Wolves dodged a big bullet there

Jimmer cost the Kings the game by not playing defense
I hope this is sarcasm

Because it’s freaking bullshit

He does suck at defense.

but hardly why we lost the game.

Following up on that

I’d just like to see him try.

So many times an opposing player is going for a layup, and he seriously looks like he just stands there waiting for someone on our team to pass the ball into him. Like its already a bucket. Contest a fucking shot please.

With his 4th quarter performance

He was one of the only reasons we were in the game

Yep

Fredette was far more of a reason why the Kings were in it at the end than a reason that they lost. There are probably about 7 Kings that you could hold accountable tonight before getting to Jimmer.

Jimmer definitely shot his way back into it.
gifs that are not allowed in game threads

Yet another service that you apparently offer.

wasn't aware of that rule

my bad

and that fucking SUCKED
damn

had a shot

Tough one...

Just go to overtime…

Oh. Too bad. Donte could have won that.
I can't believe we didn't win that.
Yeah... the Love-less T-Wolves...

We should not have been playing catch-up all game.

Tough one, no doubt.

Damn.

Oh Donte, what a perfect metaphor for your career: you could be so great, and yet you always disappoint.

This is the worst day of my life. I AM ABSOLUTELY CRUSHED!!!!!!!!!!
Donte screw you you’re never playing another minute again. Jimmer shouldve taken that shot.

Got my heart pounding...
hickson should have caught that ball
JJ w/ stone hands
ah man, if hickson had cought that shit

or if donte didnt make only 1 out of every 20 threes

If JT was in the game over JJ...

that would have been an easy dunk.

... Why are either of them in the game? Defense? Then call a damn TO after the rebound.
really what the fuck.... why JJ the entire end of game?
Should have called a TO to run a play :-\
Good look, but hey.

Where was Jimmer?

Great effort in the 4th

and got in a position to potentially win the game at the buzzer and even got off a good shot to boot. Good game.

Damn, if JJ coulda caught that - easy 2

Have you seen JJ’s shooting this year..No that great

He would've been able to dunk it or lay it up
didn't we have another timeout?
Maybe this will cause the Kings to come out with fire against OKC.
Uh.. Time Out???
Yeah, maybe Smart should have called one

But Kings looked like they might have a fast break opportunity initially

After calming down a bit

I can see your point, it was just odd to me they didn’t try a play from half court for the tie or win. Either way, I’m glad they made exciting.

that was such bullshit

now if we didnt FUCKING SUCK every first half

LOL

When your total shooting % is 15% in the 1st half its hard to win.

Who shot 15% at the half?
hickson has the worst hands in the league, wide open 3 Donte bricks it ID RATHER ALMOST ANYONE SHOOT BUT HIM!!
damn... JJ brickson absolutely sucks

why not JT???

Hell Of Game

Too many bonehead mistakes. Tough game but they battled back against the refs and Wolves tough loss but reallly need to come out strong Thursday Night

Fucking kings...sigh

Lose to the goddamn timberwolves

I knew we might lose to them. They are one of those terrible teams that have lucky ass benches that always get everything to go for some unknown stupid reason. Nuggets blazers and twolves all fall into that category.

There goes Evans' consistency.

Two shit games in a row.

Not bad for back to back on the road

We need to start games better though

Agreed
Much better feeling than after those 25-point blowout losses
why the hell didn't they take the TO, at least to sub in their offense

I thought we made the right call… Don’t let the defense get set… I just wish, they went for OT instead… Donte is not a great shooter.

JJ makes that catch

and we go to OT instead of shoot a 3.

it wasn't a kickout for 3 i believe

I think Hickson didn’t catch the ball for an easy 2

That's what it looked like
I'm done with Coach Smart after this one
Why? Let's not over react. Lol.
I disagree with alot of what Smart did in this game
The team played hard and had a chance to win the game on the last possession

How often did you get that after a Westphal-coached game? Smart is like this team: inexperienced, likely to make mistakes, but full of promise.

Smart did fine, he was playing against 8.
Don't overreact.

That’s how we lost Adelman, remember?

Hard to judge Smart. Team didn't play with much energy in the first half.

Smart can’t beat them with a whip. It was a close game and I think the refs were a factor.

Honestly, that last possession was better than watching a Tyreke 1-4 flat brick
not really
Sloppy, but the ball moved and got an open look to win it

Cuz forced some action. If only JJ didn’t have stone hands, coulda tied it there.

As much as I hate to say it, we battled the whole way through

And almost won despite the refs complete inbalance

Geez guys

We lost to a .500 team on the road by 2. Even playoff teams do that.

We arent even a playoff team or .500 for that matter

Exactly.

I see improvement . If this game was under Paul Westphal it would have been another 30 point blow out.

This

Let’s have some perspective, people

Smart is a good coach.

Put he is really shit with lineups, and he has no sense of end of game situations. If you don’t have Kobe or Wade, you call a timeout when you get the rebound.

I disagee.

A transition basket to tie the game is alot easier then taking it out from full court against a set defense.

Its gets nasty after a loss in here

Be back tomorrow to talk about trading and firing everyone

lol

hey if you enjoyed the game you aren’t the only one

chance to win on the road

all I ask, good game

fought back against a tough team (yes I wrote that) when they have previously have up and folded

and even almost got a win.

And Jimmer

who I will admit I am not a fanboy of looked solid coming off the bench after…what, two DNP’s? I’ll take that, he didn’t make a lot of stupid mistakes and put us back in the game…there is a lot to be encouraged about…especially considering, Reke, DMC, and IT did not have good nights whatsoever and we still were in position to win.

Yes, yes

Now you are allowed to be positive.

ugh i wouldve used a time out

Stop hating...Donte had a good game.

Besides, yea he missed the 3, but we honestly shouldn’t have even had a chance at winning this… and again…Donte DID have a good game.

3-8 is good?1-4 from 3pt?

Yes, one of those could have won the game though. And, he had 2 blocks.

He gave us some energy on D and was able to get Beasley to start missing.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I feel like crap.

thornton shouldve tried to get an open shot if not call a timeout and set up a shot
should have tried to make that other free-throw as well
Well I'm done for the night...

See everyone at Black Thursday!!!

call a timeout- get your shooters in and donte doesnt shoot that shot
Shitty ass game

should have won, im out of here

Its ok guys

We will beat the thunder. These guys are upset now. They are raving pissed. They are outraged by this terrible lose. We will come back and get a win.

donte and jj need to pull themselves off the court. they are poooooooop
??

Donte played excellent D and slowed down Beasley a ton. Hickson had 8 points on 4-6 shots to go along with 11 boards, 1 block and a steal in 26 minutes. I will take that production of the bench any night.

wow i didnt notice hicksons rebound #
He played really well

I’m still a fan of Hickson’s and I think he’ll put it together and be a very productive bench player/spot starter for a long time.

yeah but I have a pitchfork and need to use it
That's what I'm sayyyyyying man

I’ve got like all these fucking pitchforks and no one wants to buy them.

There’s always Francisco Garcia you can use it on

Catch ball, make layup, win in ot
Btw.

It shows when Cousins can’t stay in the game, and when Salmons sucks.

damn, if JJ hickson couldve just caught the ball !!!!
Why does JJ always look like a mentally challenged individual

When someone passes the ball? It’s like “Oh! WTF! You passed the ball to me?”

I hate cousins. hes such a baby.

Did u see him laughing off the floor!

And this comment is exactly what I'm talking about

How fucking dumb can you be? you do realize is a top 5 center in basically EVERY!! stat!

Cousns is a top 5**

Get him out of here
Yeah!

And I totally hated the way he put his arm around JJ Hickson while walking off the court, sharing the blame with his teammate so Hickson wouldn’t put the entire loss on himself for mishandling a pass. I mean, who does Demarcus think he is!?

I truly wound't mind hardcore porn .gif's in the victory threads

If it meant we cut down in the trolling, or chicken little syndromes in the game threads.

seriously
hard to curb though

the lines get a little blurred when it’s a game thread

I'm fine with a frustration comment

I’ve said multiple myself(see Luther Head comments last year), but some of this shit is just insane and can be nothing more than trolling

Yeah.

I don’t understand why people want Smart gone after this game. You win some, you lose some. The last play of the game was not that bad, but if it had worked, we would be in OT right now.

I'd be fine if they picked up his option for next year today.
Nobody sane wants him gone,
Heh, true. I don't get people calling for Smart's head. It's exactly how we lost Adelman...

We forget too easily. People need to chill and let things run their course. It’s a competition, so there is always going to be a winner and a loser. You win some, you lose some. Sucks when they are winnable, but that’s how it goes.

Either one of these situations is OK with me
Agreed

I’ll even take it up a notch and say that I’d be ok with “2 Girls, One Cup” gifs.

hey now

let’s not go that crazy

You're right

I’ve never actually seen it myself, but did watch a room full of coworkers reel back in terror while watching it.

lol

(works perfect with my comment just below)

HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY

Let’s not get crazy here

you know what this means right

you and are the only two people here who have sen 2 girls 1 cup

It should remain that anyone who hasn't,

Should never be forced to see it. shudders

Lemon party, anyone?
Isn't that that site that has spoiler free NBA results?
What is ten times worse is 1 guy 1 cup.
I kind of wish that upon the trolls of this site
broke glass.. everywhere..
I really wish I wasn't on this list

I haven’t been able to look at soft-serve ice cream the same way since

Oh wow, what did I miss?
Ugly loss, stupid game by the Kings

Jimmer looked good

Tough loss but I am seeing improvement.

Donte came up just short. Looked on line too.
Thank goodness I still got the DVR of last night's bachelor to watch

Thank goodness I still got the DVR of last 3 Kings games to watch

Truth is...

The refs were AWFUL in that game. Cousins could never get into a rhythm.

Yeah

Awful game by the zebras tonight. Missed a bunch of minny fouls. Not so much the other way.

Rookies gettin better

IT last night
JF tonight
Consistency out of stars and we will keep improving

didnt watch most of the game

but bottom line when Tyreke and Cousins dont play well, we lose

Man, JJ Barrea is SO damn annoying, what a persistent little pest

I wish the Kings would have signed him…

he flops around to get offensive foul calls... i hate that guy
He has no shoulders

But he gave IT fits

This is what happens when you start out so terribly

If they played the same way they did in final three quarters to start the game, they would have won easily.

No Post-Game thread tonight

I’ll have recap up soon.

They should play against each other half court in the warmups!

It is too hard to try to dig yourself out of a 15-point hole all the time.
Jimmer second to last in minutes this game (ahead of Garcia's 39 seconds), and second highest scorer.

Need more of that

Obviously the first quarter led to the Kings loss tonight but I am happy they came out fighting to try to win in the 2nd half. We need to remember that this was then end of a back to back and this is a young team. Give them a little bit of a break
I would give them a break, but nobody should have missed that pass that JJ F'ed up. Nobody.

Thats my only problem, really.

So...

…it wasn’t coming out of the gate 0/6, or the 11/10 assist-to-turnover ratio in the first half, or the dribble-dribble-shoot tendencies that lost us the game, but a bad pass near the end?

I’m sorry but when the clock is low you don’t expect the ball passed to you in the situation cuz was in with all those defenders in the way give hickson a break

Jimmer played great today

Some nice passes, good shooting. Maybe the benching motivated him a bit

God Damn

A lot of you guys are some serious drama queens. Kings have had their best week in awhile… barely lost this one. Its not that bad. It was much worse 2 weeks ago when we couldn’t even get within 20

Ya

People forget before PW got fired we were getting blown out every night.

And we are the youngest team in the league.
I hate having a losing team more then anyone I know

But for a change, I am seeing slight progress.

Exactly! People here need to calm down. This game could've been very lopsided at the end but the Kings fought back to lose by only 2 points with a chance to win at the end. Nothing to be mad at.

Shift I freaking love you!!!!!!!! Thanks for saying the truth brotha.

Yes, but in 2002! we would have won all of these games by 20!!

Therefore, I must think our rebuilding franchise has no hope!

Each game was like no contest.

I was falling asleep at Arco due to boredom, and lack of competition.

Let's see what Smart has to say.
Hope he says

Salmons will move to the bench to take on a role player role and move IT to the 1 thornton 2 and reke 3, while giving jimmer 25mins per game for his 3point shooting. hes our only consistent 3point shooter.

Hayes with the -15 seems pretty accurate

he looks out of shape and hesitant on offense

Yes

Hayes looks to be in terrible shape. Has no offensive game and his rebounding is not that great.

im just not seeing the hustle and heart i expected from him

I will cut him some slack with the shoulder, but should sit if its bothering him

It's painful to watch him make any kind of offensive move

He’s got no lift and seems to just chuck the ball up.

Need to get positive

The game coming up is huge cant stay down on this too long

I am just soooooooo sick of close losses. ESPECIALLY when the entire game was being decided by the refs
Umm.. I'm quite the opposite! I LOVE close losses

Way the hell better than the blow outs!

Agree

We lost to the jazz warriors and twolves. That is 3 games on the road we SHOULD HAVE WON. And we are what 2-12 on the road. Jeez we’re so terrible on the road to make the playoffs we need these easy wins…we aren’t capitalizing.

Playoffs? P-L-A-Y-O-F-F-S?

Maybe next year, not this year.

At some point the west has to get worse right?

And the east has to get better? Its been like a decade. This has to change at some point.

The powers in the West are aging

Spurs, Lakers, Mavs are all going to decline soon. Unfortunately, the Thunder, T’Wolves and Nuggets look pretty good, so who knows.

I think it will probably equal out soon. But for now at least in the east the 7-8 spots will always be open to the highest bidder. in the west fighting for the 8th spot can be a team like the grizzlies or mavs or even jazz. Its so tough.

West is 65-48 against the east so far this season
Its been two decades
I'll take a 2 point loss rather than a blow out loss any time. Win or lose tonight the Kings played a good week of basketball and everyone is complaining about a 2 point loss to a now over .500 team
Apparently Keith Smart agrees with me that Donte had a good game.

I’ll take his opinion over yours.

so glad Donte finally got some playing time. people are haters
His 'shoot first' mentality...

…hurts the team sometimes. So, far, he’s all “potential” still…if he could only make that breakthrough.

The way I see it, no one except for Salmon's lately has performed well @ the 3

Which is why I think Donte should at least get more playing time to work on his potential.

I will say I don't know how much more Hickson I can take.

without someone to throw alley-oops to him, he’s useless. So frustrating. I wish JT would have had that opportunity at the end.

I do agree with this.

My only complaint about Smarts rotation tonight was JJ in over JT. Offensively and defensively JT is better tonight and every other night.

Well I can't wade through the complaints to see real posts so

I will be back tomorrow. In my humble opinion, although disappointed like all of you, we played a good game and had a chance to win with DMC and JT in foul trouble all game, and Reke and IT not doing much…If I told you that would happen before the game it would be an assumed 10+ point loss. But that’s my take, and everyone has their own. Good night all.

Anyone know why JT had limited playing time?

he got into foul trouble early but never picked up a 4th

Not sure. But what I am sure of is PEK is the #1 King killer of the season now. I absolutely cannot stand that guy.

I wouldnt have such a problem with this loss

If it didnt come at the cost of a four game win streak going into Black Thursday

Yeah. It would have been nice to have a win streak going into Black Thursday.

But, the guys didn’t embarrass themselves tonight. Almost won it.

Still have a chance for a not horrible bball night if the dubs lose

can only hope. Go Thunder!

As I said in the 1st thread, the Wolves are still dangerous without Love and it showed. Unfortunately his replacement beat up our bigs all night.
Pec played a strong game tonight

Kevin Love who?

not scola

that’s for sure

Kevin Love's new theme song is...

STOMP! by Brothers Johnson.

I wish refs were held accountable for bad calls

Don’t get me wrong, Kings should have won this game had they not been in a coma for 3 quarters, but that missed goaltend, Peko playing bull in a china shop, ticky tack inconsistancies…. refs should be held to some degree of culpability if they screw a game up. Be hit fines, suspensions, whatever.

As it is now, they can cost a team a game (tonight’s goaltend) and just shrug their shoulders and say oh well, while if Coach says anything about it in post game, he gets fined.

Regardless to how bad the Refs are...

The kings had a chance to win this game and didn’t capitalize

absolutely

but they have a hard enough time winning as it is.

True, but still, it is annoying when the refs becoming a significant factor.

That goal tend tonight was inexcusable, imo. They can review that. They had to have seen it. How could they miss it, unless they weren’t watching the ball or looking at the basket. No excuse.

i thought goaltends couldnt be reviewed?
I believe they can. I recall other times when they have been reviewed.
I don't think they can.

I’m just assuming because of last night’s OKC-POR game.

From NBA.com -
The NBA Board of Governors unanimously approved several modifications to the instant replay rules that will go into effect for the upcoming 2010-11 season, the league announced today. Instant replay may now be used:

• During the last two minutes of regulation and the entire duration of any overtime period, to determine whether the ball touched the rim and thus whether the shot clock should be adjusted.
• During the last two minutes of regulation play and the entire duration of any overtime period, to determine which of two players on opposing teams caused the ball to become out-of-bounds. This modification expanded the previous rule to include the entirety of an overtime period instead of just the last two minutes of an overtime period.
• During a replay review of an out-of-bounds call, to determine when the ball is out of bounds for purposes of adjusting the game clock and shot clock.
• At any point during the game, to determine which player should attempt free throws after a foul occurred.
• At any point during a game, to determine whether a foul that was called a clear-path-to-the-basket foul met all the criteria of a clear-path-to-the basket foul.
If it is not reviewable then it should be.

This would be a good example for the NBA to review in this controversial area.

I hate saying this because it sounds like an excuse but the refs did control the game a little too much. These two teams are very physical with their bigs and the refs only let one team play....the Wolves

You must be new here.

they don't even say anything...

just hide behind the shield and commish’s office.

oops

reply fail

I liked the comeback

and the Jimmer Barrage. And the fact that we were in a position to win even if our stars (except MT) were not as good as we know they are and that we were not only against the T-Wolves but also against the Zebras (effin refs). Looking forward to beating OKC.

You win some you lose some. At least there was some kind of a come back to give the Kings a chance to win. I'm happy with the 2nd half effort
Its funny

but at the last possession, I may have preferred to have Reke attack the basket and either get fouled or get one of his amazing layups or pass to one of our shooters. MT bringing the ball down didn’t get too much of a result but hey we had a good shot to win or tie it.

Part of Growing pains... it will take a while!

For now we should forget this game and onto the next one. Man, i was drooling for that 4 game winning streak and the 10-15 record. Oh well, we’ll get it next time. Go Kings!

Definitely would've been nice to get this win before the Thunder game. Hope the Kings get some rest and go all out on Thursday night!
Plus the Kings were playing back to back

It might have a part on the turnovers earlier in the game

Even worse than the missed goaltending call

was the no call on the charge on Williams when he threw his shoulder into Cousins and then got an easy layup while Cousins laid under the basket. That was at a crucial part of the game and I feel like it really deflated the Kings.

Even if it wasn't a foul on either player

it was at least a travel since jump up and down without anyone else touching the ball.

Good fight

Going from New Orleans last night to Minnesota tonight had to have been somewhat taxing (especially considering the energy expended in the comeback against the Hornets). To try and pull another comeback with the refs calling a sketchy game on top of it was always going to be tough. That said, the guys put their heads down and went to work and almost pulled it out in the end. That is not something which would have happened earlier this season. Good signs.

Good point. A win may have been too much, but atleast our team pulled it together after a dismal first half.

It was good to see the effort our team put together.

execution is still lacking

at times and that can be frustrating, but it is encouraging that they are fighting through issues (off nights, large deficits, foul trouble, officiating, etc.) which would have killed them off in the past. Belief and confidence can grow out of these sorts of games as opposed to 30-point blow out losses.

that said

i hate losing… so much.

Jimmer showing a ton of promise

He scored, what, 13 in the 4th tonight? A week or so ago, he scored 15 with 6 assists (all in the 2nd quarter). That doesn’t happen by accident. These are not garbage-time stats. Jimmer is clearly still inconsistent, and is still figuring things out. However, when he gets there, look out. He will make some serious noise in his career.

great point

The organization (and fans) will just have to be patient. Growing pains are a part of the process of becoming consistent (as with most young players with some potential).
