[VF21]

Just to keep the string going at this point.

Note: Game 44 is the one postponed until March.

Haven't watched the last 6-7 Kings games. Obviously things have been getting worse.

But I can't resist the weird urge to come back.

Technically this is now game 44 and the Knicks game will be game 58.

At this rate I'm going to struggle through 82 games, let's not make it 83.

 

[SacTownGrantFan]

I hope we give Quincy Miller some big minutes again. See what he can do.

 

[BenThePizzaGuy]

I would say Rudy Gay misses Toronto. Look how much fun he was having with some of the Raptors players.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Kings with four days rest taking on Toronto who played last night in Indiana.

You may be right, but since game tickets are all pre-printed with the number of the game on them, I didn't think they'd be renumbering.

The game 44 designation still belongs to the Kings v. Knicks, originally scheduled for Jan. 26 and now scheduled for March. I wasn't going to make it a 83 game schedule.

QMiller will not play tonight. His second 10-day contract, if reports on Twitter are to be believed, was not signed in time. He should be available to play @ Charlotte.

He's not at the game. Somehow they failed to get his 2nd 10 day contract done in time. He should be at the game Friday

Technically, is he still on the roster?

 

[BenThePizzaGuy]

It's going to be a LONG LONG night for Darren Collison having to guard Kyle Lowery. Same with McLemore having to guard Demar Derozen, who is, arguably their best player.

 

[sdballer]

I don't mean to pile on the FO but how do you not sign a guy already on your team in time?

 

[BenThePizzaGuy]

Looks like the Raptors are trying to sell jerseys. The sleeves make it worse

 

[VF21]

Not technically. He had a 10-day contract that expired. Until the next 10-day contract is signed and filed, he is not on the roster for legal purposes. However, we won't lose him if that's what you're afraid of.

Tons of things could have happened. The contract has to be signed and filed with the NBA office in New York. It could actually be Juno-related. Doubt if we'll ever know for sure, though.

Ugly, ugly, ugly. It's not middle of some triple canopy jungle, it's an NBA basketball court. Ridiculous.

 

[VF21]

It's gonna be a long night... The rim looks about the size of a dixie cup.

Imagine what this place is going to be like in 20-30 games. PDA and Vivek may have finally killed all but the most rabid of the fanbase

 

[FaStRmAn]

way to come out looking like garbage !

 

[kingsboi]

they aren't even trying to guard anybody...

 

[kingsboi]

in other news...Collison can't make a lay up

 

[PurpleHaze]

No one on Toronto can guard Big Cuz inside - absolutely no one!

 

[BenThePizzaGuy]

Enough of Lebron James Grant and Jerry!!!!! People drool over that guy in the NBA. You can't watch an NBA game without people frothing over him

I get he's the center spot light and competition is relatively limited in the NBA, but give credit to other athletes in this league for a change.

 

[VF21]

I deleted the crap about James Harden as it appears as though it was just that...crap. Sorry for not checking before I posted. My bad.

Turns out it was a joke, a meme with a picture of James Harden that said "Retweet to scare a Rockets fan" at the bottom. Unfortunately for me, I didn't click on the picture and actually read the caption until I had already posted it here.

seriously, how did they mishandle that?

 

[Glenn]

I swear we need to get the ball to JT more. I know that sounds like insanity but ever since he had the double double game I've changed my mind about him. I think we need more than Cuz, Gay, and Collison taking all the shots anyway.

Lol I was wondering why I couldn't quote that.

OK, my dear, tell us how reporters need to check and double check and then what you used to do. Giggle.

 

[Glenn]

This isn't the worst game in the world. How long will we keep it a game?
