Can we rebound and get back to .500?

Seeing Hawes try to guard Cousins will be hilarious

Did not realize we had a B2B. We better have our damn mind right tonight.

Hold Cousins in check and this game should be an easy W before a tough 3 game road trip.

Cousins will score 50, easily. He will go right at Hibbert and Hawes all night, and once they foul out, Clifford will put Marvin, Frank, MKG, and whoever else to avoid playing Christian Wood. Book it.

MKG has gotten so good at knowing when to cut to the hoop this year. Seems like he understands just the right angle to duck in and take advantage of all the attention his teammate's penetration is drawing.

Can't even count the number of easy two-hand dunks he's had these last few games, all from the same trick.

Both teams look tired. Kings came in from an OT game last night.

Frank has a real problem with over-passing. Passing up open threes is one thing, but there was no reason for him to pass up a two footer on the break just to shovel it to Sessions who was covered by a big man under the basket. He's looked better tonight otherwise though, liked the block on Lawson.

What a sluggish start. UGH. And now Frank back to locker room? UGH. When will Lamb be ready to actually play? UGH. Kemba still not shooting well. UGH. Get well soon Cody. UGH. MKG made a jumper. UGH? I thought Marco would torch his old team. UGH. What the **** has gotten into WCS? UGH.

You can steal one King from their bench to import to our roster, who are you taking?

Hawes, don't get Cousins fired up. That's the last thing we need.

Listening to the broadcast, didn't realize Kroger did their sideline reporting.

When was the last time we beat the Kings but didn't have to come from behind to do it?

The two memorable games that come to mind against the Kings are the insane one last season where Troy saved us (and traveled doing it), and the Gay tip in game where we came back from down over 20 in the 4th and either won or lost in OT, can't remember which.

Hey guys, been a long time since I've posted. Still been watching the boards though. Anyway, this team has lost its identity. We were always defense first and fed off of that. We had depth last season and great chemistry. Having Jeremy Lin lead the second unit worked better than we may have realized. Frank looks a mess this season and we have too many guys who can't knock down open shots consistently. We play sloppy and our second unit is a joke. Backup PG is terrible and our front court is so weak. Without Cody there is nothing. Batum needs to play like someone making over $120 million dollars. Kemba has to do everything and he needs some help. This team needs a trade to open things up. Bring in somebody who knows how to make shots out of the front court. Anyone besides Kemba should be available.
