I'm at my mom's house in Lodi
She has DirectTV. Is the game on on DirectTV?? I can’t find it anywhere!

maybe you should rethink that approach…

i think he was going thru the between the legs pass. si.
sucks. guess he should just went for the easy pass. they both actually shouldn’t have been there, should have hustled back to play defense
What happened to IT?

Can you believe we are all freaking out about IT?
On DeMarcus Cousins - "Should he just be renamed Player of the Week?" HeuristicLineup
Free Donte
put him in as shooting guard and have him post up. Also have jimmer out there so if greene is doubled he passes for an open 3.
by CousinsEvansDUO on Feb 19, 2012 3:35 PM PST reply actions
At least he's not hurt
That would be so Kings, if he went down right when he got the starting nod and was playing well
Can someone put a shock bracelet on Reke?
So he can be deterred everytime he tries to take a bullshit fadeaway jumper?
Hahaha
Isiah shtoinked that one. Watch the replay. Everyone else was like, WTF???
Hickson scoreless, Casspi scoreless guess that trade was a wash
Oh wait, Kings gave up a pick too…
by deadenddude on Feb 19, 2012 3:36 PM PST reply actions 1 recs
Only if they make the playoffs this year
So it should be a wash
by rstewartwest on Feb 19, 2012 3:37 PM PST up reply actions
eventually they'll give the pick though
i think it goes through 2017 or something. If the Kings don’t make the playoffs by then we have bigger problems, lol.
I'm loving the guard competition between the first and last picks

The story here:
Another good first quarter with IT at the point.
On DeMarcus Cousins - "Should he just be renamed Player of the Week?" HeuristicLineup
Good quarter of hoops for the Kings
Can’t emphasize enough how much better this team plays with IT on the floor.
If you had to choose one, would you rather have Reke develop the left hand layup, or get a jumpshot?
Jumpshot.
He’s be unstoppable then.

ROFL Salmons comes in the game, his man immediately hits a wide open three. BENCH HIM NOW
by cuad on Feb 19, 2012 3:44 PM PST reply actions 1 recs
I was like what.......
What kind of defense is that. Salmons always plays hesitant defense on the wing. He always gives guys a lot of space to shoot 3. That is so frustrating.
by CousinsEvansDUO on Feb 19, 2012 3:45 PM PST up reply actions
I was like who was that? Looks like Salmons.

There goes our lead.

You’ve got to be kidding me. With Tyreke running the point, the team runs two straight plays for CHUCK HAYES. Take Evans out. Put Thornton in. Let Jimma play point.

Why do we foul them every single possesion?
Umm do they not know how to move their feet and take a charge? Dammit we need cousins out there. They are just driving at will, in fact we are inviting them to drive to the hoop.

we only scored 6 points so far in 2nd quarter
by cowboyron96@yahoo.com on Feb 19, 2012 3:57 PM PST via mobile reply actions
I still don't get why...
Smart rides Reke for 17 minutes straight then takes him out of the game with 7 minutes left? You can see that about 12-13 minutes in Reke gets lazy on D and rebounding and starts jacking up 3’s instead of driving to the hoop. Most likely the result over being overplayed.
IT!!!
DONTE been waiting all season for that connection

donte is better at almost every single facet of the game
probly the ONLY this salmons has him beat on is free throw shooting
This is one reason I like Donte in the game. Love the alley-oops

One silver lining
Donte has really come into his own as a nice, effective bench weapon over the past few weeks.
I'm glad he is playing better.
Last season, it almost looked like his career was over.

i actually feel a little excited about donte AS HE THROWS IT DOWN AGAIN
sorry, but as i was saying, he may be revitalizing his career

Yep. And then we watched as the lead slipped away.
On DeMarcus Cousins - "Should he just be renamed Player of the Week?" HeuristicLineup
Why even put Reke back in the game with 2 min left?
He comes in cold against a bunch of players who already got into the flow of the game.
Really hope we trade salmons at the trade deadline.
Maybe salmons and hickson for a 2nd round pick to a team desperate for some depth.
by CousinsEvansDUO on Feb 19, 2012 4:11 PM PST reply actions
I don't either really.
I understand DMC was in foul trouble. But in general, IT MT23 Reke DMC and JT should be finishing the 2 and 4th quarter. JT did not come in til there was 4 minutes left in the game, Reke with 2 minutes left.
by ridingthebench on Feb 19, 2012 4:17 PM PST up reply actions
JT specifically
has never had consistent minutes under PW or Smart but he should be averaging a double double. JT is 1 of those players that gets better as the game goes on due to being in great shape. Instead his minutes are forked over to JJ? Why?
by ridingthebench on Feb 19, 2012 4:21 PM PST up reply actions
nba league pass broadband is consistently dissapointing
just won’t load. So i will try and boxscore and gamethread this for a while
Omri with 9 boards
and 1-6 shooting. Cavs with < 35% FG.
IT with 6 assists and 12 points.

All The Salmons Hate
Let me preference this First. I am not a BIG fan of him but everyone barks about every little thing he does, We all need to come to grip if he is not traded he is going to play big minutes why because Defense while his offense has lacked hes known for his defense while everyone is ripping him please remember he usually guards each teams main scorer. I’m not saying you cant hate and be mad at him this is just my personal opinion of him. While i don’t necessarily like him i have come to grips if he is here he is gonna play big minutes it just the way it it. I cringe every time he shoots just like you. Please dont rip me to hard for this post. I have my defense shield up im READY

At the start of the season his D was ok.
But it seems it just keeps getting worse as the season goes on.

Seriously, he dives for the ball and NO ONE on here compliments it.
I mean, be critical if you want, but be fair
I like that, and I like Kings basketball.
it was a pretty half ass dive.
