Game Thread GAME# 79: BLAZERS @ KINGS - APRIL 5, 2016 - TUESDAY, 7:00 PM (PDT), CSNNW

[KingSpeed]

Great game by Harkless and Cj but this game was way too stressful for nothing against a team playing for ping pong balls plus their second best player out

Kings were clearly playing to win. Rondo said so. And it's never easy to win on the road. Big win for us. Now we go home until the playoffs start. We're in a good position.

 

[BonesJones]

I'd love to see a compilation of all 41 of Sheeds technicals

 

[kingslayer]

That's also the leadership of Dame. He made a concerted effort early in the offseason to bring these guys together to establish those bonds, and so there wouldn't be as much time lost early in the season building chemistry.

So very true. What a leader we have in Lillard.

 

[Shaboid]

I didn't really know him outside of his play on the court. The interview tonight helped me connect with him.

I guess that makes sense. I could tell that he was a grinder. Either way, I like the power he brings!

 

[cardova08]

The Kings have some talent but absolutely no discipline. This to me is a reflection of their star player in Boogie Cousins. 41 technicals? Pass. Although Rasheed had some troubles with technicals himself now that I think about it..

Dame credits Mo Williams with showing him the importance of bonding and hanging out off the court...Dame took it to heart.

 

[Strenuus]

Harkless is about to turn 23. Sign him up for a long, long time. If Vonleh can really get it going next year...man this team is going to be really good.

THISSSSS!!!!!

Sheed has the record with 41 techs. Boogie has 17 on the season.

Cousins has 17 techs this year. Sheed had 41.

Okay thanks, I misheard on the broadcast. Damn Sheed, settle down bro.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Henderson crushed with the +/- tonight......+19
Aminu -11

I know there are many flaws with that stat, but it is still interesting.

I'd like to know how many of those techs Sheed got were from Tim Donaghy and Scott Foster

 

[illmatic99]

Dame better be getting his stinkers out now. Harkless and CJ carried us to that win. Absolutely sick games from those two, and some seriously awful decision making from Dame.

 

[KingSpeed]

Right? Hey, how many wins did you predict? 43?

 

[riverman]

yep..one to go!

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Dame had 20/8...if that's a terrible game I'll take it

 

[illmatic99]

Dame had 20/8...if that's a terrible game I'll take it

Not to nitpick, but he also shot 6/19 on many forced looks, while letting an offensive crapshoot in Rondo get 27/12/10. Just not a good game even if his raw totals were ok.

Aminu made some AWFUL decisions. Henderson made some big plays. Not surprised.

That's what I said...not a good game and he had 20/8? Ill take it

Not sure what to think of Cousins. He has some amazing abilities to get the ball in the hoop. But there's countless times he just gives up on defense, yells at refs, gets technicals, or doesn't even go to half court. Both him and the team need a change; but I'd get real frustrated when he is pulling that crap for my favorite team. If fans thought Rasheed, ZBo, Batum or Aldridge could be annoying to root for this guy would take the cake.

You hope he can limit it with the right people, organization, culture, and players around him.

That was Trader Bob's philosophy. Pick up the talent that people don't want due to character issues. Almost worked.

 

[ripcityboy]

Me after Harkless put on the third quarter run.....

 

[B-Roy]

Does Seth Curry remind anyone else of CJ McCollum? They have very similar games.

 

[noknobs]

Anyone know the status of Kaman?

If we win tomorrow and Rox lose, we clinch playoffs

Magic # is 1.

We need either one more win or one more HOU loss to clinch. We're playing OKC tonight while HOU is @ DAL

 

[Blazers Roy]

I like Harkless, he's a very weird player.
He's not a star,not sure he's even a legit starter and yet it seems totally reasonable for me to expect him to make about 4-6 points each quarter.

Boogie is very talented and very crazy, he reminds me of Rasheedo so much!
