    Outlaw saved the day defensively.

    9-6. Season continues. Outlaw with the clutch D.

    Quit your yapping. He almost threw it away offensively on multiple occasions. Free throws, bad decisions down the stretch, terrible shots, everything.

    LaMarcus sucks. Plain and simple. Very unimpressive this season.

    Greg has ways to go. The potential is there. But he has a lot of rust to shake off.

    Brandon Roy is our only star. We don't have a big-3 yet.

    LaMarcus sucks.

    Ugh.

    I am starting to get really upset at this showcasing of Sergio, Aldridge's lack of touch and Travis's bonehead move. We got lucky tonight - because we have Brandon Roy.

    I was happy with giving Sergio time if it makes Rudy comfortable - but it is clear that even he is getting uncomfortable there.

    Yikes.

    I'm not saying Outlaw is terrible, but he's really got to cut down on the "One bonehead play for every two good plays" routine, the last play on offense is just a microcosm of his ability to lose focus at times.

    He saved us in the third quarter. We were down 8, and he had 7 points to get us back into it. A HUGE three. Another big shot. And a dunk. Put us back into the game when we were about to get blown out.

    So you are saying that LaMarcus sucks? I think that was what I took from your post.

    He did play good D at the end but you have to admit he didn't play that well tonight. That last shot was terrible and his missed FT's were killing us.:dunno:

    Latley, LaMarcus has been playing more like a 2nd rounder than a 2nd overall pick. Is he just in a slump or is this the true Aldridge.

    Rudy must also suck, look at his past few games. Disgusting.

    Look, the Kings were playing tough D and Outlaw had to play aggressive. He tired to take it right to the basket. I like him taking the shot he took. It just didn't go down. That happens to everyone. He's made more of those than he has missed:

    Rudy has been on a cold streak the last few games. He's a rookie. So I give him a pass.

    This is LaMarcia's 3rd year. I'm amazed this guy was a 2nd overall pick. Chris Bosh he is not.

    Worst win I've seen in a long time. We should have lost so many times.

    I don't get Greg. The guy doesn't even look like he wants to play. He hasn't had a single block in three games, and really hasn't made an impact at all defensively. He had about three good games, and since then has seemed to regress as far as his reaction time and quickness. I didn't even want him to come back into the game during the fourth, and Sacramento immediately went on a big run after he came in. I was glad Nate took out after a few minutes.

    Don't take it to mean I'm giving up on him, but he really needs to wake up. I'm sorry if the weight of the world is on your shoulders, just act like you give a damn. I mean three points against Sacramento's front line? Is this a joke?

    Thank God for Joel. And of course Roy.

    utah just lost at home to a team we beat by 42. that must make them the worst team in the league.

    we had an off night, mainly because the oden start messed with chemistry big time. for the game oden -22, prz +23

    LA is dying by the jumpshot right now. He has flashes of good play but no where near where he should be with consistency.

    *rolls eyes*

    So lets throw out his last few seasons then, because he clearly sucked then? LaMarcus is on a slump, all players fall into a slump at times.

    Not saying that Travis' last possession was good by any means . . . but the funny thing is, if he hits that shot, we'd all be here praising him for being Mr. 4th Quarter Clutch like he was so many times last year. Sometimes that's just the way the cookie crumbles.

    This game shows up in the W column - that's what counts.
