Kings @ Heat

Even though we lost, wow what a game. Most entertaining game of the season without question in my eyes.

how the hell did the Kings go into double OT with the Heat... I had to miss it because of school.

Thornton was the main reason, with a little help from Reke and Cousins who both had good games as well. Salmons did a great job defending Lebron (all though the stats say other wise). If you get a chance to watch the game you'll see what I mean. He played 50 minutes today mainly because of his defensive intensity, just an overall fun game to watch.

DeMarcus is seriously not even trying on defense.

It's sickening to watch him defend the high PNR.

we are the kings don't you guys remember we have a major habit of doing this.

IF we are playing one of the best teams in the league our guys get up for the game and put in more effort and ultimately we do pretty well and look good against top tier teams. The real tragedy of it all is that we don't bring that same intensity when we play teams that are worse than us or only marginally better than we are.

Man that was easily the best game of the year, so glad I DVR'ed it. I finally felt like I was getting my money worth for my league pass subscription.

The sad part is why can't we get this effort every night. MT was look like me when I'm playing 2k13, Salmons played just about as good D you can facing LBJ. Coach Smart is a nice guy, but he's got to go, Reke needs to be on ball to be the special talent he is. Every time he hit D-Wade with that crossover, oh boy *Grant Napear voice, he had him on skates. They say Kyrie Irving has the best handles in the league but think it's a 1a and 1b with Reke. It lies on the players too, but the fact that we can put on a performance like that speaks to the talent on this team, just need a great coach and better owners of course. The make up of this team is all screwed up.

He did pretty well early. Look at Reke and Cousins defense toward the end of the game. They were BURNT out. Evans literally stood in the middle of the floor and let offensive players come to him at one point! Coach Smart does it again, plays a guy 40 straight minutes while LeBron rests it up for a good 6 in between. It's in between that 3rd and 4th wind that you lose games. Smart still hasn't figured this out yet.
