[Game] Kings v. 76ers - 12/26/16 - 7:30PT/10:30ET

[kingsboi]

Embiid vs Cousins is going to be a fun match up for many seasons to come

 

[Tetsujin]

At the end of the game, Boogie just absolutely wouldn't let his team lose.

 

[VF21]

"I like that kid a lot. He's got a great chance of being the best big in the league...AFTER I retire." - Cousins speaking about Embiid after the game

 

[Tetsujin]

How can you not love Boogie?

 

[lawlman91]

you "no moral victories" people should be over the moon right now.

 

[SLAB]

How can you not love Boogie?

Bully, cancer, yells, mean faces, etc etc etc

 

[lwc]

To add a cherry on top, Portland lost. #SlowSeparation

 

[The Hammer]

Cousins has officially arrived. Hear that calm swag in the post game interview.

He's going to be a media darling folks. This is good tv. After essentially saving/winning another game all by himself down the stretch:

"I like that kid. I like that kid a lot. He has a good chance to be the best big man in the league. ... ... After I retire."

How can you not love our Boogie?!

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Yup we lost this one.

Good win.. but can't help the sinking feeling of the Rudy Gay effect..

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

you "no moral victories" people should be over the moon right now.

If there were such a thing as a moral defeat, though, this might qualify.

 

[kingsboi]

Good win.. but can't help the sinking feeling of the Rudy Gay effect..

They got away with it versus a lottery team, barely. I don't like our chances of finding out again at Portland, Lillard or not.

 

[sactownfan]

I'm officially chilling on my dave Joerger hate.... until gay is traded.....

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Embiid vs Cousins is going to be a fun match up for many seasons to come

They're going to channel their inner H-Town, and bring that old thing back!

 

[The Hammer]

Good win.. but can't help the sinking feeling of the Rudy Gay effect..

It is absolutely awful and needs to be addressed NOW. I honestly don't care if we get like a back up stretch 4 and a second round pick. He's borderline untradable anyway.

 

[Larry89]

Kings have the Blazers grizz nuggets heat coming up next! All very winnable games!

 

[jcwkings]

Imporatant win. This was the classic trap game that would befall the Kings in years past. The team was coming in with two days completely off, shootaround today was the first time the team was together since Minnesota game, you knew the team would come out slow and sloppy, especially playing a team they were supposed to beat. Rudy was back in the lineup and that always throws a wrench when the team is on a roll without him. Cousins was meeting his true challenger to the throne for the first time. He was a little rattled at first and especially in the third quarter.

Rudy made some key shots to spark the comeback and Cousins came back in the 4th quarter and stepped up the task at hand and outplayed Embiid and hit the big three to put us up for good. Kings teams of the past would have lost this game. An ugly win but a win that perhaps signifies this years squad is a cut above past ones.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Good win.. but can't help the sinking feeling of the Rudy Gay effect..

Would that Sandman Sims were still alive...

 

[Kingsfan23]

Collison is a ghost out here sucking energy. We wondered how long he'd be suspended, well it's been all season so far. Maybe we should've kept Farmar after all... just have no words for him

Temple is money. Cuz becoming legit top flight

 

[kingsboi]

They're going to channel their inner H-Town, and bring that old thing back!

Embiid wasn't rattled one bit by any of Boogie's tactics, he held his own and then some. I can't wait for the rematch in Philly in one month.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Although Rudy sucked for the majority of te game, I do have to give him props for keeping us alive early in the fourth, helping us regain momentum.

Players that were once upon a time contributors for this team are now black holes...Lawson deserved to finish that game.

 

[SLAB]

It's so nice that you can actually understand coach in his post game interviews.

"We might win the championship."

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I'd like it better if it weren't going to be, like, our eighth game in ten nights.

 

[Larry89]

Collison out there dribbling around holding the ball doing nothing for 10 seconds of the shot clock every possession, Rudy gay just ruining whatever offensive flow we had the past three games. Tolliver Koufos and Ty play WAY better without having to share the floor with Rudy. Good thing DMC came up clutch

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Embiid and Simmons are gonna be scary a few years from now. Maybe scarier than the KAT/Wiggins combo.

the grind of the NBA lifestyle

 

[Larry89]

Also, Embiid looks almost exactly like DMC when he was a younger player sans the threes

and don't forget...they will be adding a PG most likely from the 2017 draft...my goodness

 

[Starting Five]

The reason the Kings have been winning is because Gay was out. Lucky to get a W tonight. I would be in favor of any trade for Gay at this point.

 

[kingsboi]

how so? Boogie couldn't take you off the dribble from three at the age Embiid is capable of. Besides, Embiid is a two way player with his shot blocking abilities.

 

[VF21]

Good win.. but can't help the sinking feeling of the Rudy Gay effect..

You know? I'm gonna back off on my Rudy criticism just a bit. He did have 17 points and a couple of the stupid things were most likely just because of rust. I still want him traded but he didn't cost us the game tonight so I'll be generous. (
