[Game] Kings @ Nuggets - 1/3/17 - 6PT/9ET

[Blob]

Nice save by Boogie

 

[jcwkings]

There should be no reason we shouldnt start two of Gay, Barnes, Casspi when fully healthy.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

So when we drafted WCS...I liked him and Mudiay equally.....err, neither one is panning out so far

So you were right!

 

[kingsboi]

You can't have a sheer negative in the rotation swinging momentum

I'd move him now while he has value, or he has to earn his time at the end. We can't just allot underperforming young players time - i.e. Ben. They have to give back

I said it a while back but the Kings should really consider playing him in the D-League, either that or just not play him...period. It's way too early to call Willie another Ben bust, so let's give it at least until his rookie contract is up to further judge.

Justice or Booker, even someone like Trey Lyles looks like a better option at this point.

Put Malachi in, Barnes is a joke

 

[twslam07]

Fixed that for you

 

[dude12]

Afflalo is playing very well

 

[Ron]

Temple & Casspi in = Suddenly we play D...
They both have not scored, but they have a +/-
of 12 and 13, respectively.

 

[kingsboi]

Really feels like a trade is in the works.

Remember, we don't get leaks anymore.

Sometimes, no leaks is better than a hundred of them...leaving something to talk about, sure...but at the same time, lots of false news too.

 

[kingsboi]

Kind of a tough pill to swallow as we spent a lottery pick on him. For what was expected he is already a sure bust.

A player isn't a bust two seasons in his NBA career.

 

[Blob]

Corner three by Affalo set up by DC

 

[jcwkings]

Afflalo brings much needed offense off bench. At the samw time I have no clue why Ben starts or even plays.

 

[kingsboi]

I'm trying to figure something out here, coach says, Malachi will get some significant playing time...in return, he hasn't entered the first half and has played almost everyone but him.

 

[Suicide King]

That 2 mins remaining call by the announcer made me laugh

 

[Kingsfan23]

He's so far gone, I really don't see how he will ever be a good player

 

[kingsboi]

Cousins is hilarious...always trying to start something with whatever player defends him, let it go and walk away.

 

[kingsboi]

He's so far gone, I really don't see how he will ever be a good player

I guess all hope is lost huh? do you think he would be a good player on another team?

 

[Blob]

Beautiful dribble drive by Boogie

 

[jcwkings]

Koufos/Cousins comes back, Nuggets chomp into lead. There is absolutely no reason Cousins should be out chasing and closing down shooters.

Who's he supposed to play instead of? Afflalo just played his best half of basketball and Ben has, rightfully, not seen the floor since the first quarter.

 

[Blob]

So nice I watched it twice!

 

[Blob]

Three players have 82% of our points

 

[swisshh]

If they come out strong to start the third, they could make quick work of this game. However, they've been awful in the 3rd quarter lately so.. *shrug*

Also, that KANGZ sign is amazing.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Also, that KANGZ sign is amazing.

I totally did not notice that. Needs a hashtag, but still.

 

[Suicide King]

Three players have 82% of our points

Trying to remember if that is or more players or less than our norm..

Ideally, he would play instead of Ben, not start necessarily...why he still starts is beyond me but that said, Afflalo has one good half and that means you back off of your word? good to know.

Well it's only been one half since Joerger said he'd play the young guys more and in that one half the old guys played really good so I'm not so sure right now is the right time to claim Joerger lied or whatever

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

The main key to the second quarter run was Denver cooling off from three. We need to step up and force them to miss shots rather than hope they miss them.

 

[Ron]

Temple & Casspi in = Suddenly we play D...
They both have not scored, but they have a +/-
of 12 and 13, respectively.

...And then they are both pulled out, and our D sucks again.

We had a 17-4 run with both of them in (from 10:00 until 4:00 in the 2nd)
with ZERO field goals for the Nuggets in those 6 minutes (!)

Then they are subbed out (4:00 & 2:29 min. left in the 2nd)
and in those 2:29 minutes left in the quarter,
the Nuggets outscore us 6-11, raining 3 threes in 1 last minute!
