Game 20: Kings (7-13) @ Bucks (10-9), Cousins Out (Susp.)

The team D is something like 7.5 points worse with Tobias in the game this season. He certainly doesn't pass the eye test. His synergy stats are pretty good though which is weird. He wasn't really being used with the first unit, I wish Skiles had given him a crack at the bench before just abandoning him completely.

I'm looking forward to watching the Cousins vs. Sanders match up, that could get very interesting. Who's going to get the first T?

This is a game on paper the Bucks should win, they need to start protecting the home court, and then the casual fans will slowly start to gain interest. This game scares me a little bit, they can't let a guy like John Salmons wake up from his coma and have a big game. If Brandon and Monta can do what they did in the last game and set the tone early, hopefully they can build a nice lead so we can see some minutes for Harris, Henson and Lamb.

I'm also curious to see if Dalembert will see the floor tonight? If he's in Skiles doghouse...like so many others have been and we have to watch more of Pryz, I'm going to be pissed. I'm pretty sure Pryz would be getting schooled at the local YMCA in pick up games if he wasn't collecting his final NBA paychecks, he should only be an insurance policy at this point and not even suit up unless one of the other bigs is injured.

Might not be a bad idea to start to showcase Gooden a little if they want to move him, his value isn't going to improve if he's wearing a suit.

DeMarcus Cousins suspended ONE game for jimmy-tapping DAL's OJ Mayo.

Pryz is not an NBA caliber player at this point. Supposedly he is helping Larry Sanders with his game, but if he is that good of a big man coach he should be on the staff, not wearing a uniform. If not, we should just find Larry a real big man coach and fill that roster spot with someone who can actually produce.

I feel like, with Cousins on the floor, this is the night Larry tries to do much offensively. Prepare for the spin move with the thrown up shots in the post that don't have a prayer of going in (50/50 chances of actually hitting the top side of the rim).

Cousins will serve his suspension tonight when the Kings visit the Milwaukee Bucks at the BMO Harris Bradley Center in Milwaukee.

Nice.

And count me in the camp who thinks Larry definitely should've taken some of Goo_en's minutes last year, but to suggest that he should've been thrown into the mix with either 25 or 30+ mpg and that it would have benefited him while he figured out things as he went along is a stretch. We'd have seen much more Bad Larry than Good Larry for that stretch of time.

Should've just gone to the ground and whipped his leg around into O.J.'s gonads

Dang. I actually wanted to see Cousins vs Sanders. Oh well.

Bucks have to win this game. Epic embarrassment if we lose.

Remember last year we led the Kings by 20 in the BC and lost by 3 points.

Too bad, things could have gotten testy in this game as well.

You could say things might have come to a head.

All in all I think the low volume of numbers makes things awfully muddy at this point from either angle. In watching the games, it seems like he's at fault for breakdowns pretty often. That said, more often than Monta? No.

if he could see the floor with udoh and sanders then this becomes virtually a moot point tho, right?

isnt it possible hes looked so bad on the team side because his minutes were almost exclusively with ersan/sammy backing him up at the basket when they were the starters?

Would of loved to have seen the Sanders and Cousins matchup. Oh well. Lets get the W.

Must win.

Pretty misleading stat. Team D with Luc on court is 7.9 points worse. I don't think that is an indictment of Luc's playing ability, same as I don't think it is an indictment of Tobias' playing ability.

fify, not that these numbers are any less muddy. Also it's 8.6 with Sir Tobus.
