Where was Ben the second half???
No Rudy I'm guessing, Boogie has been insane this month but I don't think he can do this kind of thing tomorrow. The 3pt defense has been a problem all year and another game we lose because of it(although some of it was good defense but just tough shots). I'd expect Lillard and CJ to put up at least 50pts.

I don't expect him to quit fighting and doing what he can to get the win, but when this went into 1 overtime let alone 2 it seemed like tomorrow was gonna be a throwaway loss. Of course I didn't expect the Kings to win at Utah on the 2nd night of a B2B after getting laughed out of the home building by the Pelicans, so I guess there is a slim chance.Definitely expecting a slow game from Cuz. Lots of tired legs out there. Boogie might still put up 20/10 though with those Portland bigs.
No idea, Karl has finally started to realize that WCS deserves consistent minutes and now Ben gets the short end of the stick. I hope this doesn't continue, Marco has been horrible on both sides of the ball all year and Ben at least puts some effort in on defense.Where was Ben the second half???

It was trouble when the Kings good defense the last 5 games vanished in the 3rd quarter, the Hornets made some tough shots but you don't hit THAT many 3's without some poor defense. Boogie was the offense all game so I'm not shocked he dominated the scoring, somebody needed to cover the shooters.This is a strange team. I'm not sure anyone but Cuz scored in the first OT. I had a feeling it was trouble when Gay went 2 for 5 from the line to start the second OT
The offense has run pretty much through boogie recently, and with Rudy back that gives them 2 legit scorers and a good shooter in Ben. That should be enough, it's worked recently.With Willie playing a lot maybe he is thinking he needs offense. Rondo and Willie aren't known for scoring. Ben is usually on or off. Something has to be done on defense though. Ben is too good of an athlete to not get in the defensive mix at the end IMO.
The biggest shot he connected with tonight was on Rudy Gay's eye.If someone would have told me they were gonna hit 20 plus 3s , I would have bet on Kemba scoring 50. He had a really rough game shooting.
But Cousins isn't as good as Dwight though.![]()
