If the Kings don't get boat raced the rest of the way
That’s a win in my big book of expectations of this young team.

I wouldn't say I'd be fine with it
But I probably wouldn’t be crushed. Staying competitive with good teams is huge.

TIME FOR THE SECOND HALF PURPLE RUSH
"It's just like the story of the grasshopper and the octopus. All year long, the grasshopper kept burying acorns for winter, while the octopus mooched off his girlfriend and watched TV. But then the winter came, and the grasshopper died, and the octopus ate all his acorns. Also he got a race car. Is any of this getting through to you?"
I found it interesting that during their halftime special on the Kings' bigs, they didn't even mention Whiteside
…It seems like he’s just kind of faded into the background.
Thank you Section

Let's go Kings!!
I said this on the other thread, but considering our terrible offense in the second (or, at least, part of the second), being down 9 isn’t really THAT bad. It could be much, much worse, and once we start hitting shots again we just might get right back into it :)

16 assist for the Lakers
On 23 made baskets. Pretty freaking good.

Damn
Rondo had another ridiculous night…15 assists! He’s averaging 16.8 for the season. And yes, we’re talking like 5 games, but still. Freaking ridiculous.
"That was the most offensive thing I have seen in 20 years of teaching and that includes an elementary school production of "Hair.""
didn't he have a triple-double in the second or third game of the season?
"Oh boy! If you don't like that you don't like Kings basketball"-Peaches
He had 24 assists
That was his big accomplishment

True and true
"That might've been a little push, but that was a major flop. That would make Vlade Divac very proud." - Jerry Reynolds
Probably
He also had like 17 points to go with his 15 assists tonight. It’s unreal.
He also broke a record for most assists through the first four games of the season this year, with 67. I believe they said John Stockton and Magic Johnson each had 64 (or 65) as their best.
Oh, and I think Rondo is in his 5th year. Scary/
"That was the most offensive thing I have seen in 20 years of teaching and that includes an elementary school production of "Hair.""
I’d have to say he’s my favourite player (to be honest, I’ve liked him before, but now he’s awesome to me) even more than Reke… I know… heresy…

Collins haters
Will probably use the fact that Philly won its first game while he was out against him
He's probably stressed out his team is doing so bad
I remember he had some sort of mental break down when he was coaching Michael Jordan in the ’80s.

The Lakers play much better together than the Kings do, and their defense is
too tuff for kings. They have to work to hard to get a good shot, they look like the team playing a back to back, not a team in their 20’s.

he has been playing pretty good d on Kobe
seems to be irritating him
"For five decades (and counting), these fans have been blessed with West, Baylor, Wilt, Kareem, Magic, Shaq and Kobe. Seven of the 15 best players ever. At some point, the gravy train will end. The Lakers will bottom out like the Knicks did last decade, submarined by bad moves, poor signings and unlucky drafts. Their fans will flee in droves. Jack will pass away. The buzz will be gone. That's how the NBA works -- in a 30-team league, you can't always get lucky, not even if you're a big-market team with deep pockets. I don't know if that day is three years off or 30, but it's coming." Bill Simmons

Precisely. We’re really not a bad team, and we show it at times like this. We’re young, yes, and we make mistakes, but after the first five games of this season, I feel confident in the ninth or tenth seed. It’s even possible that we’ll make the eighth seed, though I think that’s probably going to be too large of a hill to climb.

Defending the 3
is something that doesn’t look like the Kings have gotten much better at compared to last year (if at all).. I really hope they can fix that.
Otherwise good game, there were some things I didn’t like (Cousins shooting forced threes, not having to come back every game) but I was proud of the effort.
"Greg Ostertag is one of the finest centers in the history of Western Civilization." - Bill Walton
...Well, I guess I don't have to quit my job now.
Great game from Cisco, Carl, Beno and Reke – and Dalembert’s defense was awesome when we needed it. We need someone who can defend the three though.
Something that bugged me was that for eight or nine minutes, from the 3:00ish mark in the 2nd to about halfway through the third, Casspi didn’t get the ball except for on rebounds and inbounds passes. He was in the game the whole time, and on a few possessions was even wide open. No one was within 7-10 feet of him, and he still didn’t get the ball. Yes he shot 1-5 for the night, but he was 1-2 from the three, and every time he was open he was sitting on the 3-pt line waiting for someone to pass. With how he’s been shooting lately, I was surprised he didn’t even get to hold the ball for more than five seconds until halfway through the 3rd quarter.
