Cousins will not play this game.

Kings can't get any rebounds, but they cut an 11 point deficient to 5 after Nik enters the game.

Rudy is enjoying himself.

Ben and Ray not doing much so far

Two question marks for the offseason are will Ben get another opportunity and can Ray be the backup guard of the future. They need to show something down the stretch of the season

Concussion alert for Rudy Gay. Got whacked in the temple.

Omri's reduced role tonight? As questionable as it may seem he is a part of the core heading forward IMO. Guess coach didn't feel comfortable with Rudy/Omri on Randolph

No way I will refer to Nik as "sauce Castillo" but I guess it isn't going to fade? Heh

They're really forcing that nickname.

Might be a marketing thing needed to keep interest in the team down the stretch I guess. I thought Nik wilted under the pressure earlier this year and might not be a player that plays better under the spotlight. I may be wrong. We will see how it goes

Keeping it close

Quite a contrast between now and the last time we were in Memphis

We were good. Cinderella team of the league. Leading Memphis and Dallas by 24 or more. So much optimism

Back up pg is going to be a quandary if Ray doesn't step up for next year. Dre may be too old, will Ray be quality rotation? I like him, needs to step up these remaining games

I don't like him running the offense at all. Seems to be more of an off guard.

Kings should just shut Rudy and DeMarcus down for the remainder of the season. The Karl experiment for those two, in my eyes, has been completed. Time to tank and figure out what other players on this roster want to step up.

Hasn't been as many as I would want yet.. Ben, Ray and DWill not giving the organization confidence yet heading toward the offseason that I called for

I like Cuz, Rudy, DC, Omri and Nik has been improving down the stretch. Others have more of a rope for Ben than I do and there is no right or wrong, that is subjective. Other than that we need some folks to step up and give us confidence in their futures IMO or the FO has some work to do this summer

Rudy Gay officially diagnosed with concussion. I hope they shut him down.
