[Game] Kings v. 76ers - 12/26/16 - 7:30PT/10:30ET

[The Hammer]

The ONLY person who can fix this Gay situation is Vlade. Can't bench him. You must trade him. It's a tough spot. It's now a distressed asset, hard to get full value.

Here's my philosophy. We need to overcome this as a team. Just have to. These types of situations arise from time to time on a team. You simply must press on and succeed anyway. No excuses. Coach needs to facilitate some talking off the court or something. I don't know the solution. But I do know that if we want to be the type of team we want to be, you simply have to overcome this. No choice.

Players Grant thinks are definitely better big men than Boogie:
KAT
Embiid
Gobert
Porzingis
the Plumlee brothers

You forgot about Anthony Davis.

and Gay with yet another clank from deep

 

[Kingsfan23]

Gay and Collison were supposed to be the teams second/third options.....................

 

[Tetsujin]

You forgot about Anthony Davis.

The next time Grant sees AD in person, he may faint from excitement.

 

[Larry89]

Never thought I'd say this but Kosta seems to be the answer to Joel Embiid.

Kosta is quite a good post and help defender

 

[kingsboi]

Gay and Collison were supposed to be the teams second/third options.....................

and now you see why they shouldn't be

 

[Tetsujin]

Ben McLemore may be having a better game than Rudy Gay and his big highlight was tripping over a ref and falling out of bounds.

 

[Larry89]

Thank god the 76ers drafted Okafor if they got Zinger as well and Emibed that would be way to much

They're the 76ers though, they haven't been relevant since a 5'11 HOFer played for them

 

[Larry89]

I thought Rudy, may have seen and reflected on some of his faults with his injury while sitting and watching the teams success. Nope, gonna drive it to the hoop without passing and lose control.

 

[Tetsujin]

The thing about the Sixers is that they may have actually drafted too many bigs. Now I realize they're probably thinking they can dump off an excess big or two for guard help but they're still a couple of guards away from making some noise.

this is what I've been saying about Embiid all season -- he truly is the Cuz rival. Not the made up we want him to be guy, or the oh he wins so he must be good guy. He is the guy who has just really jumped at me the way Cuz did in that SL years ago. So clearly wildly out of control talented. Quite possibly he most impressive rookie I've seen since LeBron (who debuted at Arco to "wows").

 

[whoopdeedoo]

The Clippers hate for us goes further than I thought. The just lost to the Lakers and Mavs and are now down to the Nuggets by 17 at the half. Guess that's what happens when no Paul or Griffin.

 

[VF21]

Kosta is quite a good post and help defender

I've said this before but I don't understand the hate by some towards Koufos. He's a solid role player who knows his role, plays his heart out every single time he's on the floor and just does his job.

 

[Tetsujin]

The CP3/Blake-less Clips are losing to the Nuggets by double digits.

Jason Jones ‏@mr_jasonjones 12m12 minutes ago
Gerald Henderson followed Cousins to the Kings' bench to talk trash ... Cousins told him "You are trash" Collison tells Henderson to "chill"

Such grit, such heart, such determination. Shame on Boogie for raining on Henderson's parade like that.

RIDICULOUS!

Henderson = Firey and Passionate

DMC = Bully and Thug

 

[Tetsujin]

Henderson = Firey and Passionate

DMC = Bully and Thug

Embiid= Endearing and fun future hall of famer.

Boogie= Cancer thug who you can't win with.

 

[The Hammer]

Woah, Casspi didn't choke a layup.

If we trade Gay, we actually get better with Casspi getting regular minutes. Such a better fit.

I agree, he is a legit ELITE talent, only injuries will hold him back from being a top 5 NBA player.

Oh dear, McBen...

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

That's FIBA World Champion Mason Plumlee, to you... And how could you forget Anthony Davis?

 

[SLAB]

Face-freakin'-Palm.....

 

[kingsboi]

Cousins getting flustered and completely taking himself out of this game

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Man Collison has been ABSOLUTE trash!

 

[Kingsfan23]

You have to identify who is sucking the energy and remove them from the roster

 

[VF21]

That's what she said...

 

[The Hammer]

If we lose this game I will be livid.

Part of our growth is not only learning how to win, how to win EASILY.

This should have been an easy win, and had all the look of one the first 5 minutes.
