[Game] Kings @ Rockets - 22 JAN 2014, 20:00 EST/17:00 PST

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Well, it officially couldn't get any worse so there's that.

"Never invite worse." - piksi

 

[Chubbs]

I hope Williams realizes an enormous opportunity just fell in his lap.

What da.... IT is shooting 2-7 from 3pt and now even halftime yet.
OMG IT, you're a PG man.....pass the rock dude!

 

[enigma99a]

Any word on what the injury is to DMC?

 

[KingsCitizen]

What happened to Gay and DMC?

 

[Glenn]

BMac was ahead of the pack during the fast break...why no pass?

IT had an open pull up three. Why pass?

 

[VF21]

Any word on what the injury is to DMC?

No word on DMC yet. Grant said he knows Kings fans are waiting for a report but that they probably won't know anything on Gay (and I'm assuming DMC) until they get home.

 

[VF21]

What happened to Gay and DMC?

Rudy has a strained left Achilles and DMC tweaked his ankle (no idea how badly yet but he couldn't walk on his own).

 

[Tetsujin]

Blake Ellington ‏@BlakeEllington2m
Work from Kings spokesperson: Rudy Gay's injury does not appear serious. Cousins' injury may not be either.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

I understand our 2 biggest scoring threats are gone, but id bench Isaiah for playing like such a selfish butthead

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Fine. Have it your way. There are starters throughout the league who play heavy minutes all the time and have not gone down to injury. So they're just luckier? Whatever...

What else would you attribute it to, if not luck? It been medically proven that fatigue makes humans more susceptible to illness. Do you really think it's unreasonable that they'd be more susceptible to injury as well?

 

[Glenn]

I absolutely hate this kind of basketball.

 

[The_Jamal]

All things considered, pretty impressive quarter for the guys left. They've remained competitive

 

[Chubbs]

Our big 1/3 is going to get all the shots he wants.

 

[TyFreak Evans]

This is gonna be no bueno....

 

[VF21]

DMC - Negative on x-rays. Moderate ankle sprain. Day to day.

 

[Chubbs]

Moderate ankle sprain, could be worse. Rudy may not be so bad either.

The pacers game and this one may be kinda brutal.

I am not accepting the assumption of fatigue in the case of either DMC or Rudy Gay.

 

[miltonap]

well, on the bright side, if they're out for awhile, better draft pick. so it's not all bad

 

[Gliesian]

So does this mean Cousins loses his double double streak? :/

 

[BamBam52]

Thank God he didn't break it or suffer ligament damage. Semi-sigh of relief. Get back on the court soon, big fella. You too, Rudini

 

[Glenn]

I am not accepting the assumption of fatigue in the case of either DMC or Rudy Gay.

DMC played 29 minutes yesterday but Gay played over 40. There are more interesting things to argue about.

 

[Tetsujin]

Exactly.

 

[VF21]

There is NO bright side to seeing two players go down in one game.

 

[VF21]

So does this mean Cousins loses his double double streak? :/

Well, he doesn't lose it but it stops.

 

[TyFreak Evans]

So are DMC and RG done for the night?

 

[Glenn]

Anytime anything is stretched beyond where it should be there is at least some minimal damage. Look at Tyreke. However, a good taping may take care of Boogie's problem. Rudy will probably need an MRI before he plays again. That can be done tomorrow. It's the only way to determine if there is any damage to the Achilles tendon but you hope he needs no surgery and I presume that's what the info that was shared means. Hopefully not a big deal but Achille's tendons are nothing to toy with.

 

[Glenn]

Well, he doesn't lose it but it stops.

Clever.

 

[VF21]

So are DMC and RG done for the night?

Yes...
