Kangs vs the Dinosaurs

[ctbaz]

who wins?

[ctbaz]

WOW.....backcourt violation? wow..........

[bloatedmaniac]

The Kings haven't met a wide open shot that they couldn't miss. This team can't make anything.

[bloatedmaniac]

Cousins is money with that 16 foot jumper

[bloatedmaniac]

Kings 19-13

[bloatedmaniac]

Jimmer's pathetic fadeaway shot from the free throw line gets swatted. Raptors score on the other end, 21-17

[bloatedmaniac]

JT gets thrown down. Foul on JT. Makes sense.

[bloatedmaniac]

Greene's epic defense leads to a foul on Kleiza, as the slow white wonder gets by Greene.

[bloatedmaniac]

Tyreke with the layup, makes it a 4 point game

[bloatedmaniac]

Dear Kings,

Passing the ball to JT can lead to unfortunate results. Raptors have a 5 point swing in 30 seconds to start the second.

PS: If you can't guard Kleiza in his first game back from microfracture surgery, please retire

[bloatedmaniac]

Nice setup from Isiah to Tyreke for the layup....too bad Tyreke missed the layup

[bloatedmaniac]

Isiah Thomas shows Tyreke how its done with the AND1. 26-27 Raptors

[bloatedmaniac]

Tyreke 2-9 now after the 17 foot miss. He isn't even looking at anyone else.

Isiah to Greenegives the Kings the 1 point lead.

[bloatedmaniac]

I know its early in his career, but Tyreke can't be a point guard if he doesn't even look at where his own teammates are. Its just him in his own world. Too bad he isn't good in that world.

[bloatedmaniac]

Tyreke's world finally allows him to make a layup in reality. Nice move

[bloatedmaniac]

Cisco alone for 3!! Cisco bricks the 3!!! Thats our Cisco!

Greene to Tyreke for the dunk on the break.

[bloatedmaniac]

Hickson with the block!!! Johnson with the putback tho.

Tyreke gets blocked, gets it back, passes to Isiah who rocks the Raptors world for the midrange jumper. Barbosa can't be stopped though.


ISIAH WITH THE ALLEYOOP TO HICKSON!!!

[bloatedmaniac]

Isiah to Tyreke for the wide open 3! Misses! Isiah to Cisco for the open 3!!! Misses!

Barbosa though, makes his 3. 14 points so far for him. If only Tyreke can guard him.

[Eze]

I heart Isaiah. Dude plays balls out.

[bloatedmaniac]

Thomas nails the 3!

[bloatedmaniac]

Thomas still has a lot of room for improvement but he is the only one looking for other players and plays all out when he is on the floor.

Jimmer with the fail pass to a Raptor player. He needs to stop that soft jump pass garbage

Thomas >> Jimmer

[Eze]

Jimmer plays like he's in moon shoes.

[bloatedmaniac]

Dear Jimmer,

You are an idiot. Nice pass to the fans when there are two people open.

[bloatedmaniac]

The steal by Salmons, leads to a quick desperation foul by the Raptors. lets see what the Kings do for final possession.

[bloatedmaniac]

I guess the answer to that is watch Tyreke dribble for 10 seconds, charge into 2 defenders and almost air a layup. *sigh*

[bloatedmaniac]

Well nice half by Thomas and Cousins. Nice stint by Greene overall. I hate you to salmons, Tyreke, and Jimmer. Thanks for not using Outlaw though.

[Eze]

Smart was yelling at Evans to go - then Evans crapped his pants. Smart ran out onto the court to show him where he should have passed. Hilarious he lacks such bball IQ.

[bloatedmaniac]

Its so frustrating. I understood when he did this his rookie year, but not in his third. Amazingly gifted player but as you said, his IQ is so low. really too bad.

[bloatedmaniac]

Whhhhhhattt? Salmons with a nice layup? IMPOSSIBLE

[bloatedmaniac]

Salmons with the pass to Jimmer. Jimmer with the horrible looking runner.
Next possession:

Salmons to a wide open Jimmer for 3! Jimmer misses!

Where is Thomas?

[bloatedmaniac]

8 rebounds for Hickson now.

[bloatedmaniac]

AND1 for Tyreke!

Cousins robs the ball on the other end, but Jimmer misses another 3.

[bloatedmaniac]

Nice defense by Salmons/Cousins to force another turnover.

[nuraman00]

Dear Kings,

Passing the ball to JT can lead to unfortunate results. Raptors have a 5 point swing in 30 seconds to start the second.

PS: If you can't guard Kleiza in his first game back from microfracture surgery, please retire

What's supposed to happen when players come back from microfracture:

When Webber came back from microfracture, Kwame Brown had a 30/19 game.

2004-03-17 (http://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/200403170WAS.html)

Odom also had a similar game a few days later.

[nuraman00]

Tyreke's world finally allows him to make a layup in reality. Nice move

I think he needs to get out of Inception. Or maybe when he makes a shot, it's an Exception.

[nuraman00]

Isiah to Tyreke for the wide open 3! Misses! Isiah to Cisco for the open 3!!! Misses!

Barbosa though, makes his 3. 14 points so far for him. If only Tyreke can guard him.

How many 3's are they taking?

[nuraman00]

Dear Jimmer,

You are an idiot. Nice pass to the fans when there are two people open.

Were the fans open too, or did they have concessions in their hands?

[nuraman00]

Nice defense by Salmons/Cousins to force another turnover.

Hmm. A few minutes ago, Gerald described Cousins defense on a driving DeRozan as "token resistance".

[nuraman00]

Hickson with a 3 second violation on offense.

[nuraman00]

Kings stop James Johnson!

[bloatedmaniac]

Tyreke the alleyoop to Hickson!! Too had Tyreke tossed it so high Hickson travelled just catching the thing.

[nuraman00]

Evans runs into a Bargnani screen (???), then throws a lob to Hickson. Hickson doesn't catch it cleanly, and it results in a 3 second violation on the Kings.

[nuraman00]

Fredette with another heat check three. Brick!

[nuraman00]

The broadcasters are now talking about how Amir Johnson is providing the Raptors with inspiration.

Who on the Kings provides them inspiration?

[nuraman00]

Evans short with another jumper.

Evans to Greene for three. Brick!

[nuraman00]

Look at Kleiza. He's playing as if he hasn't played in a year.

[bloatedmaniac]

Donte with the big 3!

[nuraman00]

Calderon drives past Thomas for a layup. :(

[nuraman00]

Thomas to Greene for three! He can make an open shot!

[nuraman00]

Thomas short with a layup, but Cousins dunks in the miss, then gets a technical.

[nuraman00]

Linas Kleiza commits a moving screen. :)

[bloatedmaniac]

Evans got swatted again.

[Eze]

That was a retarded tech on Cousins.

[nuraman00]

Thomas rejected, Barbosa tries for a layup on the other end. It's goaltended.

[bloatedmaniac]

Thomas and cousins for inspiration!

[nuraman00]

Evans got swatted again.

Oh maybe it was Evans.

[nuraman00]

Tie game 63. Kings have lost 8 of 9 to Toronto, including 7 in a row. Which is why I didn't pick them to win here. Also since they've played terrible here too, not just losing, but losing poorly.

[nuraman00]

Isaiah for 3!

[nuraman00]

5 seconds left on the shot clock. Can the Kings get the stop?

[nuraman00]

Yes they can! But Evans travels on the fast break.

[bloatedmaniac]

Evans with a 3? Thats like Salmons making a layup!

[bloatedmaniac]

Cousins to the line!

[nuraman00]

Evans for three.

Too many long jumpers though. Can this team get consecutive shots in the paint, and make them?

[bloatedmaniac]

Cousins makes both! 71-69!

[bloatedmaniac]

Good job Garcia. Greene forced Kleiza into a bad shot and you run into him. Call yourself "HerpesSimplex""HerpesSimplex""HerpesSimplex""HerpesSimplex""HerpesSimplex" Moore and let out a scream.

[bloatedmaniac]

THOMAS TO COUSINS FOR THE FLUSH!!!

[nuraman00]

Thomas to Cousins!

[bloatedmaniac]

Thomas with 5 assists? That must be a franchise record. THOMAS WITH THE JUMPER!

[nuraman00]

Isaish with a pull-up midrange jumper! Take note Fredette. You can shoot from within 28 feet.

[nuraman00]

Cousins with an offensive foul away from the ball. :(

[SactoIV]

Can Cousins go 20-20?

[nuraman00]

Ed Davis! They even stuttered Davis name on that jam. "D-d-d-d-a-vis!"

[nuraman00]

What is that symbol on Amir Johnson's head? He has some thing engraved in his haircut.

[nuraman00]

Kings force a shot clock violation! I bet that helps someone's parlay.

[bloatedmaniac]

Cousin's with the travel

I havent seen whats in Amir's hair. I've been too busy wondering how the Kings let him score so easily at times :(

[SactoIV]

Holy shitballs, we're 15-17 on FTs tonight.

[nuraman00]

Can Cousins go 20-20?

20 turnovers? Sure.

Surprisingly the Kings only have 14 turnovers today. I guess they've been good, but it doesn't feel like it.

[nuraman00]

Cousin's with the travel

I havent seen whats in Amir's hair. I've been too busy wondering how the Kings let him score so easily at times :(

Don't think too hard. I have the answer.

ANSWER: Kings are soft. And it won't change this season without a player acquisition, or maybe Chuck Hayes.

[bloatedmaniac]

Looseball foul on Toronto! 18 boards for Cousins!

[nuraman00]

Looseball foul on Toronto! 18 boards for Cousins!

The Kings will probably ruin the achievement by losing by 7.

[bloatedmaniac]

Nice hustle by Cousins after the pathetic solo offense attempt by Evans.

[bloatedmaniac]

Thomas with the huge 3!!!!!

[nuraman00]

Greene with a manly defensive board.

[nuraman00]

I think SactoIV (http://kingsforum.net/live/member.php?12-SactoIV) should change his profile to "ZekeZekeZekeZeke".

[nuraman00]

Thomas gets fouled on a drive. :)

[nuraman00]

He swishes both FTs.

[bloatedmaniac]

aww Amir Johnson with the dunk on the other end. Kings up by 5 still.

[bloatedmaniac]

24 shot clock violation

[nuraman00]

Thomas airballs a rainbow as the shot clock expires.

[SactoIV]

Cousins with a career high for rebounds.

[nuraman00]

Barbosa misses! 82-77.

[bloatedmaniac]

Cousins will go to the line as he was fouled by Amir. Isiah + Cousins = win!

[nuraman00]

Greene misses for 3. Not a surprise.

[bloatedmaniac]

WHAT A PASS FROM ISIAH TO COUSINS!!!

[SactoIV]

Huge performance by Cousins.

[nuraman00]

Cousins will go to the line as he was fouled by Amir. Isiah + Cousins = win!

Thomas to Cousins again!

[bloatedmaniac]

Jimmer and Tyreke. You got nothing on Isiah!

[nuraman00]

New lineup:

Thomas/Garcia/Evans/Hickson/Cousins

What do you think?

[bloatedmaniac]

I will nickname the Isiah and Cousins combo to David and Goliath!

[nuraman00]

Jimmer and Tyreke. You got nothing on Isiah!

He has an extra "a" in his name. Isaiah.

[bloatedmaniac]

New lineup:

Thomas/Garcia/Evans/Hickson/Cousins

What do you think?

I'm down. I mentioned in another thread about thinking Evans future is at SF. Thomas is showing in his time that he can run the offense and look for others. This team needs this and he has run the fast break really well.

[nuraman00]

Evans gets fouled on his "spin move".

[bloatedmaniac]

He has an extra "a" in his name. Isaiah.

Haha, I always forget about that. The way he plays though, he is earning the Isiah Thomas name.

[nuraman00]

Well, the Kings played non-existent defense for at least 46 minutes of the game. And they took 24 3's. :facepalm:. But they kept the turnovers to 15, made 91% of their FTs, and won in a place where they've lost 8 of 9.

A solid B-. (Because of the non-existent defense).

[nuraman00]

Evans 9-9 on FTs is another plus.

Kings win when Evans and Cousins score 20+? (Even though Evans wasn't good from the field)?

[nuraman00]

Cousins with a stupid lane violation. :(

[bloatedmaniac]

Evans 9-9 on FTs is another plus.

Kings win when Evans and Cousins score 20+? (Even though Evans wasn't good from the field)?

He definately came out of his FT shooting funk which is big. The team as a whole has been better from the line.

Oh god Jimmer is in for the final 24 seconds. Is he going to pass to the wrong team again!?

[nuraman00]

Hero Isaiah Thomas to the foul line.

[bloatedmaniac]

Positives:
Isaiah and Cousins!
Evans and the team's FT shooting
No Outlaw
Only 1 Salmons 3 attempt

Negatives:
The Defense
Jimmer
Salmons
24 3PT attempts
16 turnovers
37% FG shooting

[nuraman00]

Huge props to Evans for going 14-14 from the foul line.

On a side note, Kevin Martin has gone 100% from the FT line with at least 14 attempts, 11 times in his career.

[nuraman00]

Positives:
Isaiah and Cousins!
Evans and the team's FT shooting
No Outlaw
Only 1 Salmons 3 attempt

Negatives:
The Defense
Jimmer
Salmons
24 3PT attempts
16 turnovers
37% FG shooting

The defense and 3-point attempts are the worst. They aren't going to make 30% of them, stop shooting! Also, just by watching a tape of this game, no coach would give the defense higher than an F.

[Sir Harry]

How embarrassing for Toronto

[Eze]

Thomas should be getting a good 25 min a game.

[nuraman00]

How embarrassing for Toronto

I know. They lost to a team worse than them.
