What the...?!?! I turned it off and started watching Carolina Kentucky. Decided to check on my phone final of game and we won? Damn, I should've kept watching

Anybody else notice Chris Paul being slammed to the floor immediately following his errant shot? I certainly hope he's not gravely injured.



I absolutely love what I'm seeing from Buddy Hield and the rest of the young Kings. I also loved seeing Rudy Gay out there congratulating his teammates and celebrating with them. For all my whining and sniveling, this is a lot more fun than I could have hoped for.

It's a good day to be a Kings fan!!

I LOVE THIS TEAM!!

Kings cannot afford wins likes these - hurts the draft choice every on any of them. Of course the Pelicans could stand to lose several but not too many.
You're certainly entitled to your opinion , even though I totally and completely disagree. This win - against a smug Clippers team playing at home - was as valuable a lesson to the young Kings as some of those heart-breaking losses. Look at our schedule. We aren't going to win more than another game or two.

Watching Paul and the rest of those whiners fall on their faces makes this Lin palatable.
You know I detest the terminology, but this wasn't a "lin" - which is a loss that is actually a win for draft purposes. This game, for those who think that way, was a "woss" - a win which is really a loss as far as draft position is concerned. :)

Oh please. What do you think they should do about that? They rested two vet starters, backup pg was out "hurt", and had their starting pg on the bench for the end game rally. Absent putting papa g out there to run the point in the last two minutes, I'm not sure what they could possible do to increase the chance at a better draft pick. If you want to root for losses, more power to you, but thats not going to make a difference as to wether they win or not. They played incredibly hard, made a huge run and closed off the game with a win. I think those types of things actually matter to a really young team.

WCS 14 rebounds and the game winning offensive rebound plus put back lol. Does he read these forums?
Arguably his best game as a King. Certainly top 3!

This is what the team needs from Willie every game, crash the boards, play good D and be the glue guy on the court. Anything extra should be considered a gravy but this sort of rebounding and defense should be his staples.

How can I change my "Like" to a "Love"?! Yay, Kings!
