[True Lakers Fan]

He's not as good as Lebron.

Considerably younger though with a longer career - Just saying

Kings young players are still too clutch for their own good, they better stay clutch next year when the tank is gone.

Heat first road win since late January.....but couldn't beat the tanking Kings on Wed. Go figure

 

[bksballer89]

Lakers only with 91 points tonight. Put up 131 in Miami earlier this month

Not sure why Walton went with IT there who was out of the game for a long time and 1-8 previously

@Bolts Seriously bro, get a hold of your team. You might have to personally lock Fox, Bogan, and Buddy in your basement for the rest of the season

Only because Fox has a problem with the Heat and enjoys their suffering.

I think its because he wants to stick it to his buddy Bam. Those guys are very close.

If they beat the streaking Jazz in Utah tomorrow I'm gonna have to kidnap some rookies. It's for their own good and the jail time will be worth the extra ping pong balls.

WTF is Brook Lopez problem. I wouldn't pay that guy more than 6 or 7 mil. Dude has legit become a one dimensional player. Just wow

Kings sweep the Warriors at Oracle for the first time since 2002, what a great season that was...until the end.

Feels like the Kings position in the lotto is almost set. No way are they catching the Suns or Grizz in losses. Can't see them catching and passing Orlando/Atlanta who are both 2 losses ahead of the Kings in the race to #1.

Only teams I see them possibly passing in losses are the Mavs and Nets.

That makes sense, friendly competition.

Didn't watch tonight. Was he exceptionally bad or something?

FWIW, for years I've never understood what people saw in him. I've always thought he was overrated. He can score sometimes, but his defense is subpar and his rebounding is terrible.

Yeah I've gotten to the point where the Grizz and Suns winning would be nice but it's more important for the Nets and Mavs to win, which made both of them failing late to win on the road disappointing. They play Atlanta at home later this season and lost by 46 last time but with how the 2 teams are playing I'd expect a Kings win. Kings were positioned 8th last year and jumped into the top 3(5), so maybe they can make another big jump this time around. If not, getting Bagley, Bamba, Carter, or one of the Bridges' won't be that bad.

He was actually good but all he does is attempt 3's. He isn't a starter in this league anymore.

He started jacking them up with the Nets some but he's definitely letting them fly in his Lakers stint. I don't know his percentages off the top of my head but he doesn't hit them enough to be shooting them as often as he does. He's average at best yet thinks he's great.
