Pat Tabler was recently in the booth.

 

One day we'll learn that Pat and Jack have been lovers for years

Sacramento is so much worse without Boogie on the floor.

[dineke]

s*** GV actually had a good game, Casey is going to keep him in the starting lineup forever now.

[burlingtonbandit]

I feel like Derozan hasn't made a jumper in 3 games.

His 3 ball is falling. He's actually not that bad of player when he's taking good shots. Problem is inconsistency.

28 years old and 5th year in the league and he's still inconsistent? He's probably just a bad player.

The bolded is the other problem. He doesn't always take good shots.

[dineke]

"3s the key"? If only our shooting guard knew how to shoot 3s.

[Orgfiller]

Classic case of defense leading to offense. Landry gets raped at one end and then the Raps make threes.

[burlingtonbandit]

Lol Kings are just lost without Boogie. Still laughing at this org. for firing their coach thinking it would do something.

[burlingtonbandit]

Love when the team goes 2 for1, hate it when almost every time they are taking an awful shot. That Lowry stepback was just dumb.

Raps have done a great job of making boogie turn the ball over.

[burlingtonbandit]

Why bring Lowry back in the game on a b2b? Let him rest and if the lead goes down then bring him back..These are the prime opportunities to rest him.

[Orgfiller]

Our defense has effectively locked down Demarcus Cousins tonight. Only 13 points, 9 turnovers! Very impressive job.

[burlingtonbandit]

22 point game with 5 min left but nope gotta leave Lowry in...

[Orgfiller]

JJ getting garbage minutes now. Someone needs to ask Casey a question in a news conference.

[jays_fever]

Vasquez had his shot falling tonight so you know he's going to chuck the Raptors out of the next game.

 

Ended up seating 4 seats down from Stauksas' Dad, though it took me about the entire 1st quarter to clue in why there was someone wearing a Kings jersey in Toronto

Your were probably on TV then. They showed his fam like every TV timeout.

Defensive effort was fantastic tonight. The Kings suck but there is no way we beat them by 15+ a few weeks ago.

I'd be curious to see how many possessions there were tonight because they still got to 100 pretty comfortably (they were at 91 with about 5 minutes left when they pulled the starters)

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Ross' numbers are up across the board as a reserve. Lowry no longer playing hero ball. Defensive effort has been fantastic.

 

A lot of reasons to be optimistic. We're officially out of that funk.

 

Still way too reliant on perimeter play though. This is a formula for failure in the playoffs.

Can anyone explain why JJ's minutes suddenly went down? Depth?

Casey changed the starting lineup around (Ross demoted, Vasquez promoted) so Ross & Lou are getting the majority of the wing bench minutes now. Casey said that it's just a case of not being able to work him into the lineup but there has been speculation about JJ and Casey butting heads.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Gotta make these games count... a stretch of the following is upcoming:

 

Clippers

Spurs

Wizards

Hawks (road)

Rockets (road)

Pelicans (road)

Mavs (road)

GSW

 

That's about as tough as it gets.

[Horses Fart]

Allthough i don't think it will be but that could certainly turn into a 0-8 span. Some fantastic teams there, so what do we hope for? 3-5?

I think 3 wins is what we hope for but can't be upset with less than that. Pretty grueling stretch, I would be really excited if we get 4 wins out of 8
