[Game] Kings @ Nets - 11/27/16 - 3PT/6ET

Only big men call humans garbage. Keep it up

Huh?

 

[The Hammer]

Gotta get over .500 first. But yeah, if we make the playoffs, Cousins will be Top 5 in voting, for sure.

That's still looking like a hella big 'if" at this stage, though. Whole lotta more season to get through.

This road trip will be pivotal. If we can mow down these sub-par east coast teams we not only get over .500, but we get a huge confidence boost, and momentum. We already have a few big scalps in our pile. Just need consistency and beating who you should. We SHOULD be over .500.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

[The Hammer]

Well, MVP-worthy perhaps. The day the league actually GIVES Cousins the MVP they'd better take a close look at the thermostats in hell.

Everybody loves an underdog.

It's not that far to go from whipping boy to underdog. Need to give people a reason to believe first, like, say, getting over .500 like Slim says.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Man, those refs were trash. Imagine they suspend Barnes, LOL, awful, can't believe this league sometimes

I would say that the idea that the league would suspend Barnes over that foul would be unthinkable...but that would just be tempting Murphy.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Damn, Cousins passed Webber on the Sacramento-era scoring list?

 

[kingsboi]

Good to see them get a win, second half the Nets were very generous with turning the ball over so many times. They also didn't have consistent outside shooting, which helped the Kings get the win. Let's see if they are as fortunate versus the Wizards; Beal & Porter can hurt you from deep.

I wanted them to put the Nets away big time just to prove to themselves that they were good and they did it.

Funny how turnovers happen and shots don't fall when defensive intensity is picked up...

That's what I meant.

The Kings have to play the "super team" knicks and celtics who have horford and crowder back

Couple challenges for sure. I'm not expecting perfection, but if we can come home 4-2 or even 5-1 that would be huge. Let's beat the mighty Mavs and embarrass Cuban even more. Personally, I'd love that, if you know what I mean. (I actually like Cuban, just love beating him, especially at this time in our country's history )

If we come home 6-0, which is ENTIRELY do-able, we start generating serious buzz, that plus Cuz's beheading of every opposing frontcourt will make for good press.

The most surprising thing about this is that the Kings managed to keep a good player long enough for this to happen

Funny how defense is all of a sudden looking better when you don't have to guard more than two players from a team with outside shooting abilities.

 

[gil renard]

Cousins is now at 40.8% on over 4 three point attempts per game. That's crazy for a big that never even utilized that shot until last season.

He always had the form and strength.

This post doesn't pertain to your original comment, so I'm not sure why you posted it in a reply to me. We played the same team in the 1st half as we did in the 2nd half, no?

The point is...the Nets defense is as atrocious as the Kings'...the Kings happened to be making a good percentage of their 3 point field goals in this game, which is rare. This won't be sustainable for more than a game or two IMO.

Never will like him being out there, but that's just the day and age we live in. Bigs are expanding their range and their game and in return we get a paper tissue soft league.

On my way home now. Glad the Kings got the W. A selfie with Vlade and Vivek has made my life!

Yeah I wasn't a fan either, but if he's getting open shots and hitting them at a good clip then I'm okay with it. Shot selection is the key.

Now I want to know how Vivek got into the picture.

She asked to take a picture with them.

Whoa, that's a first...Vivek is not making that silly sign he always flashes.

Boogie is interesting. I don't know why he has stayed here. He says that if the team doesn't win, it's his fault. To a certain extent that is true. A true star can carry a team and doesn't need to go to a team that is stacked. Maybe he doesn't like change. Maybe this and maybe that. When he says he will stay, I believe him especially when it seems obvious to me that the team is trying to suit him.

I mean how does he show above Vlade? I picture one of his feet in Vlade's pocket.

Vlade has him in a baby carrier.
