[Game] Kings @ Hornets - Monday, Jan. 22 - 4 PT

[chief bromden]

He's a rookie. That's the easiest spot on the court to sink a three. I've seen teams send their players to that exact spot more times than I can count. I do recall them doing it so often with Kevin Martin that a bunch of us here back in the day called it Martin's corner.

Yeah, that's true for a lot of rookies, but I think that's the optimistic take on it for Jackson. I hope you are right in the end.

 

[chief bromden]

Wooooo Dwight Howard blocking his own blocks! Kings getting handled down there.

 

[chief bromden]

I know it's an early game that is meaningless with the Kings season already over, but man games and game threads were sure more entertaining to watch with a certain tantrum-y big man on the team.

So, if you're not watching the Grant-Doug broadcast, you just missed this:

Needless to say, Carmichael Dave is ecstatic that we now have pictures of someone other than himself consuming popcorn. Peja does, of course, do it with more style...and the European pinky finger flair.

 

[chief bromden]

hahahahah Perfect popcorn picture. That was amazing camera work

Speaking (in mere passing) of a certain tantrum-y big man, anyone know how many T's he's racked up this year? Anyone?

Draymond Green has 11. Russell Westbrook has 9. Kevin Durant, Dwight Howard and DMC have 8.

 

[VF21]

Damn. I HATE to see that. Hate, hate, hate.

4 of those guys are real winners! They just compete so hard, and want the best for their team. The other is a cultureless cancer.

 

[VF21]

Okay, let's be clear. The technical (which puts him ahead of DMC, BTW) was because he dropped the F bomb.

 

[VF21]

I am really enjoying listening to ... gulp ... Grant and Doug. (And yes, I'm well aware how that sounds.) Listening to Doug's knowledge of the game from one of my all-time favorite players is refreshing. Hearing him comment about defense and what the Kings need to do to improve is music to my ears. I just wish he was saying it to the KINGS.

I've definitely heard that about Dwight

 

[206Fan]

I really like Doug as the color guy. Not afraid to hold back on anything and he does a really good job at analyzing plays

 

[chief bromden]

Willie lookin' lazy out there today. I've been lazy today though so I guess I can't complain

They actually have about a 10 second clip.

What are you talking about? Doug Christie is on the road trip with Grant. He's broadcasting.

I know the Kings have 14 total, lowest of any team.

 

[chief bromden]

Okay, it's about Papa time again. Yessssssss! Good point to the bench Joerger

 

[206Fan]

Fox and Skal have been playing great today. Lots of mistakes between the two, but you just want to see them play aggressive

 

[chief bromden]

Wow, all 5 Kings collapsed into the paint. They could have kicked to anyone behind the 3 point line and they would have been wide open.

 

[gunks]

I know the Kings have 14 total, lowest of any team.

But the technical foul total exceeds our win total! So much for culture.

 

[SacTownKid]

You can't win games playing this kind of pick and roll defense and playing off the 3 like this.

To be fair, the Kings are actively trying to not win...soooooo.... you know, bombs away?

 

[VF21]

But the technical foul total exceeds our win total! So much for culture.

Technical fouls can be assessed for things like hanging on the rim. That has nothing to do with the culture.

 

[jcwkings]

Every time I turn my head to the tv it's the Hornets launching open threes and hitting more often than not.

I think gunks was makin' a funny.

Was just adding a factoid. I like Boogie too. It ain't all about feeling miserable!

 

[parker]

Not only do the Kings give up too many 3s, they don't shoot enough 3s.

 

[VF21]

I think gunks was makin' a funny.

Yeah, you're probably right. Sorry, gunks...

Wait. So it's your fault? QUIT LOOKING AT THE TV!!!
