Kings @ Clippers - 12/21/12

You might be right. It's all in the way this is handled and so far Smart has not tried to make a fool of Cuz like Westphal did. Perhaps it will be settled for the moment. Something was coming to a head for several weeks.

Whatta year. #1) The owners want to go elsewhere and pretend to themselves that if they get to move, the team will get better. They don't quite understand that where ever the team is, the major problem, them, will always be with them. #2) The GM wants to be retired or already has checked out because of #1 and his age, #3) the coaches continue to be "coaches in training" or never as good as their press clippings might indicate. We will continue to hire such because of #1 and #2.

#4 and #5) The two best players, both of which could be the cornerstone of a decent rebuild and as a pair, almost guaranteed to be the dual cornerstones if they were physically available or willing to play on a consistent basis.

I'm getting tired of this. Now all that I can hope for is a Niner Super Bowl win. That would make #1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 less painful.

Oh man, if the Niners get #6 this year, I will be worry free for awhile in regards to sports.

Its funny nobody gets on lwp777 for bashing demarcus. He goes out of his way to openly bash cousins a hell of a lot more than i ever have with jimmer

Lol. I get bashed all the time! Funny thing is, nobody is really bashing me now. It's because they now know I've been right all along!!

[Chupacabra]

im still convinced Walton as a coach would have this team playing leaps and bounds better. and his post game conferences would be rather amusing

Im into it!

The Kings played better without Cousins in the second half. They were in it, but had trouble with makeable shots and turns. Evans was on the bench. Not bad considering that the Clippers were at home on the 11 game? hot streak.

You lost me after the first line.

lol Hey ive been HIGHLY critical of Jimmer in the past. Ive even sided with trading him before. What we're seeing right now is how Jimmer plays on a bad team. I got pumped up when I saw Jimmer challenge chris paul on that inbounds pass last night that ended up with Jimmer stealing the ball. That tells me that this guy hasnt mailed it in. I would be really interested in seeing a Cousins/Thompson/Salmons/Evans/Fredette lineup in which the main ball handling duties are given to Evans and Salmons with Jimmer spotting up and curling off of screens. All Jimmer has to do is stay in front of his man and be aggressive about getting his shot off and he can be a VERY effective player.
