I made some GIFS out of the videos posted on page one. Enjoy.
**EDIT** I apologize if these are killing your computers. Let me know if you prefer me to just add the link to the .GIF, and not embed the .GIF in the future. I'm almost forgot to add the dunk of the night (year?), even if it was called off.

I was in no way saying I don't like Grant and Jerry. Just don't go to them if you want a realistic assessment of the team.
I'm on the record as saying I loved the trade. I'll take an excting losing team over a boring losing team. Just ignore the FO. That nonsense about a defensive team is clearly NOT what they are doing. They're going for young, exciting talents. If you're against that, then I don't know what to say. Like the warriors, nuggets, teams that get out and run. MAM is fine if you're in grind it out playoff games. Last I checked, we are not in those type of games. And won't be for years. MAM was only under contract through next season. A complete zero offensively just wasn't going to get it done.
IT fans, brace yourselves. He keeps up his pouting, he's out of here. As the team gets more talented, he will fade further and further into the background. Just one game, I know, but, the last two games are the bad IT, the one that pouts when things arent clicking for him and basically just gives up. He seems to need to have an all pro on the other side to show up. Those first 10 games were a career high hot streak. I'm really not expecting anything like that again. he had a hot start while the rest of his teammates looked half asleep. That has a tendency to make one look a whole lot better than they actually are. As Ben gets more comfortable, hopefully Williams gets comfortable, and GV gets his legs back (I hope) there will be fewer and fewer minutes for IT. T
GV is not, and will not, ever be an even avg defender. Can we focus on what he does do maybe? Play semi competent PG, something we haven't seen in years. I think we will see a lot better from him going forward. Putting high flying talent around him is the way to go for now.

I like Greivis. He plays hard and you can tell he wants to win. He also likes to set up his teammates which is an essential quality in a PG. I don't see him as the long-term solution, but I'm happy to root for him as long as he wears the Kings uniform. And he played well last night. Couldn't hit the open threes at the end when we needed them, but he was the open man and he took the shots with confidence anyway which is all you can really ask for.
IIRC it was after the the play when Redick went hard for the board, banged into Cousins and came down really hard. Cousins got called for a loose ball foul. Then it looked like he was just trying to tell Cousins no hard feelings or something along those lines. That's how the body language looked at least .. but hey it is the Clippers, who knows what they're ever up to 
We used to watch them play every night... you know, the last time #10, #13 and #16 were on the court together along with a couple of numbers from the rafters.
The big difference is that "we", in terms of those who actually make the decisions and pay the checks, are much different than "we" used to be. We're still the Sacramento Kings and it's still our team, but there's been a massive shakeup in what's going in the 'process'. It all starts with the owner, and Vivek is a man on a mission. It does appear that he has all his crew on the same page as well.
I'm not saying forget as much as I'm saying it's very reasonable to move on and let go, because it's not the same ole same ole, with the same group making the same mistakes

Yeah, that's why I called it "pouting." Whatever you call it, not his best game and we can leave it at that. He should enjoy his teammate's success but he seems to get wrapped up in what he is or isn't doing. And frankly, he's not the best pg on this roster to be out there with mclemore and Williams. They need a guy who can throw lobs, and set guys up. That's not ITs game. It's going to be tough for him cause he doesn't blend into a team concept well. What he does just doesn't fit with these young guys, who need someone looking out for them. Williams hit mclemore on the break more times in his first game than IT has all season it seems.
