[Game] Kings @ Pelicans - 3/31/17 - 5PT/8ET

This is gonna get painful before too much longer.

This is proof why the end of season tank strategy is bad for the players, the team and the NBA.

This doesn't help the young guys improve.

Putting a bunch of guys on the floor who haven't played much together and watching them throw the ball away 15 times will knock the hope out of you.

It also doesn't help that whoever gets a pass can't catch the ball

 

[Jimbob]

I wish somehow, someway, we could have had the team we have now + picks + Boogie

All we needed was one smart draft pick between 2011 and 2014 and we would have been a playoff team with Boogie.

Fixed it up for you.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Welp, it doesn't look like Cousins is going to get enough playing time in the fourth to hit that career high.

I fully expect Napear to spin this in a way that makes it seem like the Kings shut him down in the second half.

Just one of the above would have sufficed. Amazing to me that some of our past management ever got paid.

 

[parker]

Cousins is playing a nice controlled game. Dominating, but not forcing anything. Looks very relaxed.

It doesn't look like cousins is playing like he wants to rub anyone's nose in anything.

Not watching the Kings broadcast. Is Divac in the building?

 

[parker]

They haven't shown him if he's there.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Well, in that case, he probably doesn't.

 

[HndsmCelt]

I'm telling you all Papa G's the Cousins stoper!

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I'm telling you all Papa G's the Cousins stoper!

Maybe they shoulda left him in, then!

 

[SLAB]

Still love you, Boogie!

Lol

 

[parker]

Okay, who had the middle of the 4th quarter for Napier's exaggerated Cousins rant.

We have a winner.

Let me go ahead and predict Napear's response to anyone in his mentions:

"I'm done talking about DeMarcus."

 

[SLAB]

LOOK AT THAT PELICANS BENCH UP AND CHEERING!

 

[Arkitect]

That Cousins guy is pretty good. I wish he was on our team.

Let me guess, Cousins bumping Labissière on his way off the court sent him over the top?

 

[Kingz19]

poor Grant..I bet he had zingers in tow had the Kings been competitive in the slightest

 

[Kingz19]

That Cousins guy is pretty good. I wish he was on our team.

Yeah...but we just never get lucky on draft night.

The circle is now complete. When I left you I was but the learner now I am the master

 

[parker]

It was after his foul on mclemore's dunk attempt.

Cousins was off screen but Napier was saying that he was going after the ref, Scott Wall, and the ref was giving him a lot of latitude.

 

[Jimbob]

Hate to Jinx anything but NY looking like they will win and be tied with us.

Portland has the 8th spot as good as wrapped up so now its just jockeying for the lottery teams.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I see Kayte getting ready to interview Cousins, as the New Orleans broadcast closes out; that's got to grind Napear's gears.

In completely unrelated news, Kayte looks as gorgeous as ever tonight.

 

[lawlman91]

But at least when Big Papa takes the bait he takes all the bait!

Shows character, right

 

[SLAB]

GN; "I was very impressed from what I saw from Skal. George isn't ready for those guys. Too many turnovers."

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Only the second Kings game I've watched since the trade. The kids didn't look terrible; I mean, I'm not impressed with Papagiannis, like, at all, but the kid Labissière looks pretty good, and Cauley-Stein is definitely born again hard. I would have liked to have seen what could have been developed with them and Cousins.
