We have got to improve to 12-10 at home. Blazers 112 Kings 91

 

[illmatic99]

Getting Rudy Gay now would be absolutely pointless. We wouldn't be much better than Sac, but older, with more $ on the books for a player that has never had a winning impact.

Also, Kings playing CHA in Sac tonight-- can't be an easy back to back, playing in Pdx the next night.

Is Cousins an All-Star lock? Apparently these commercials didn't help...

 

[BBert]

Haha. Take-off on the Mean Joe Greene Coke commercial. Wonder what the age cut-off is for people who remember that?

 

[Trackjack]

This will good experience for Von going head to head with cousin.

 

[BonesJones]

Whoever said no to this poll is an idiot

 

[riverman]

Kings played huge minutes in the last game going into overtimes...should be an advantage in this game for the good guys

 

[KingSpeed]

Darkwebs- Kings are 20-24

 

[KingSpeed]

Is Cousins an All-Star lock? Apparently these commercials didn't help...

Cousins is a lock. As are Kobe, Durant, Curry, Westbrook, Kawhi, Lillard, Klay, Draymond, Paul, and Harden.

The 12th spot is up for grabs between Gasol, Aldridge, and Anthony Davis. I think Blake Griffin has missed too many games.

He just broke his hand...

 

[THE HCP]

Looks like NO Rudy Gay for this game FAMS! He usually plays very well against us.

 

[Blazer4ever]

This is a big game, are we good enough to move the Kings out of 8th place? They have a very nice team, maybe a better roster than ours, probably a better coach. I think they're front-runners for the 8th seed

 

[HailBlazers]

Whoever said no to this poll is an idiot

Conversely, whoever would want Rudy Gay on our team is an idiot.

 

[Eastoff]

Haha. Take-off on the Mean Joe Greene Coke commercial. Wonder what the age cut-off is for people who remember that?

I don't remember the commercial when it ran. But family guy, and another source did some jokes about it.

Agreed he has had some big games against us. And he is officially out for tonight.

You have been right so seldom lately I thought I would take advantage of the rare situation.

 

[THE HCP]

Well thanky....... wait a sec!

 

[Wizard Mentor]

If we win, we're back in playoff position. Big game!

Dogs have no taste. They gulp their food.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

On a side note, BGD is going to cream his jeans over this. (shirt)

 

[illmatic99]

Kings have a sneaky good announcing crew. Should be a fun game

 

[PDXFonz]
