[Game] Kings v. Knicks - 12/9/16 - 7:30PT/10:30ET

What do you guys think is up with the regressing rebounding from both WCS and Cousins?

Not fun to watch us get beat on the boards. 29 to 19 :(

Increase in perimeter shots means an increase in long rebounds (i.e. ones that are harder for bigs to get). Willie also has the strength of watered down Japanese cough syrup. Boogie's still averaging 10.5 boards a game plus he's playing through a broken finger.
 
This team has periodically crapped the bed to close first halves. Thankfully they also seem to turn it on in third quarters. Melo is hot though and Rudy has been poor defensively.
 
I like our chances because our energy is good...we need Rudy to get hot because it is tough for Boogie vs the Knicks length and size (Porzingis, Quinn, Noah).

Rudy getting his pocket change taken right up in front of him by Melo with no regard...can he do more of the same in the second half? hmm

You had to figure Melo wasn't going to shoot lights out all game long.

Hopefully the Kings build up a bit of a lead before he starts making everything again.
