Kings @ Raptors game thread - March 7/14

[iblastoff]

Didn't see one started yet.

Kings could potentially take the season sweep on us as we haven't won a single game against them this season (0-2).

My keys to the game:

- JV staying out of foul trouble
- Get rebounds. With evans/acy/cousins going nuts on the boards its going to be tough
- STAY OUT OF FOUL TROUBLE! last game was ridiculous with 51 fouls by toronto or something like that
- Our defense has been falling off since Jan/Feb. Not sure whats going on, while Kings defense has actually stepped up a lot the past few months.
- Kyle Lowry needs a come back game. Seriously, the past few weeks his game has disappeared big time compared to his earlier all-star play. He shouldn't be shooting 3/13 or 0/9 from deep in any game.

Do you know what our defense has been ranked as of late? And there's has been? I just want to know because the eye test does show that our defense has fallen off. I just want to know how much it's fallen.

We are just 0-1 against them. Definitely need to keep the fouls in check.

35 fouls compared to 23 last game. Lowry and GV both fouled out and JV had 5.

They no longer have Thornton which helps.

It's not just the return of Acy, Gay and Gray but it's also the return of R-E-G-G-I-E!

[GLF]

People are making such a big deal about Reggie like we haven't played Brooklynn three times already with Reggie on the team. But he has played well for Sac since joining them and is getting more minutes with them as well I believe.

Brooklyn*

Reggie, Acy and Hansbrough on the court at the same time... someone's getting injured or ejected.

Injured or ejected???

More like mugged or murdered ...

[isaacthompson]

They have 3 of the top 15 guys in the technical foul department... have a feeling Hansbrough will be put to use tonight!

[The Great One]

If the Raptors can contain Cousins they should be able to win this game easily.

It'll be funny as hell if Rudy hits a game winner

Rudy didn't get much of a reaction at all.

The verdict is in, as if there was ever any doubt: boos for Rudy Gay during the Kings intros
