Comments From The Other Side - Kings, Mexico City

http://celticsgreen.blogspot.com/2015/12/comments-from-other-side-kings-12315.html



TO: Ben Simmons continues to produce in college at this same rate With the number one pick the Sixers take Ben Simmons. Do you trade Cousins and McLemore for Simmons and Embiid/Noel (whichever the Sixers want to give up)?

I'd rather live in Philadelphia than see that trade happen.

If we don't take that leap this year with cousins leading the team. Then yes. Ben Simmons will be a special special player

Why would Isaiah Thomas be looking for a revenge game against us when the guy who let him go is gone from the team?

Demarcus Cousins is not gone from the team.

I hope that Coach Karl uses his timeouts extra wisely tonight. Not only will the elevation be a potential problem, but the Celtics actually lead the league in margin of victory in wins. When they start clicking, the Celtics are really good at putting teams away. Hopefully, Karl uses his timeouts to change momentum and regroup the team if the Celtics begin to go on any big runs.

Anyone else see this and think to themselves, "Is this really what our All-Star Center, with a bad back, should be doing?"




I see Cuz and IT are going at each other already in Mexico City!!

How long did it take to convince IT to put on the costume? (MY NOTE: LOL!!)

Either we can push the pace and our superior depth will prevail,
Or we can slow it down and Cousins/Gay will prevail.

Idk Boston has some great depth too

Yeah, I'd say they get the nod on depth. It seems like everyone in the rotation of that team is above average. Nobody amazing, but also no gaping holes anywhere in the rotation.

It's sad that it's more than impossible for us to draft Ben Simmons.

At least we can take comfort knowing Cleveland sure as hell ain't getting another #1 pick this year.

I hope the fact that the Celtics arrived in Mexico City last night and we arrived a day earlier will factor into how well we play. Boston is a good team, but we usually seem to split the series witht hem every year. I would say we lose to them at Boston and win here. Our front court has an advantage over them, so I hope Cousins can be his usual dominant self.

Well, today just got a little better.




Cousin's is going to eat Sullinger for breakfast

Let us hope nobody on the team gets sick eating some street tacos!

Casspi is doubtful. Gastroenteritis.

Never underestimate the power of an amoeba! Speaking of which it will be fun watch Isiah again.

This would be a nice win here. Boston is a solid team. It's not going to be easy.

Good lord, Gay has no lateral quickness

7200 ft???? The bigs are gonna be dead by half-time

IT is efficient today and that can be a deadly weapon.

Seems whatever defense we had was confiscated by customs.

Sullinger looks like a big fat Odell Beckam Jr out there.

Call a ****ing foul. This is insane, Rondo has been hacked a couple times.

If Cousins is gassed already, it doesn't bode well for his outside shooting through this game

IT apparently lives in Mexico City in the off season. He looks in the best shape out there.

Look at Isaiah, denying DMC.

I love how IT who was one of the very few hits in the draft over the last decade was basically traded for nothing. Smh.

It had to be done, he was a cancer to the lockerroom. Team culture has been a complete 180 since we dropped the midget.

I already sense a loss. It's a home game for Boston, and the refs are acting like it.

What if the refs need to catch their breath? Call meaningless, extra fouls?

Karl needs more than a time out Call the game due to altitude after the first quarter

Celtics running Operation Fast and Furious

Looks like Celtics coach outplayed Karl so far.

Stevens is darling of the coaching world right now.

For good reason

But for how long is the question, isn't it?

Long, I think He’s brilliant.

There is no Rondo shooting FTs in his Celtics video montage That would be fun to put together.

Olynyk's sporting the manbun these days?

Why are the Celtics playing better than us in this high elevation?

Did the Celtics get into town two nights early perhaps? They do seem better prepared for this somehow.

They arrived later than the Kings, actually They spent the off day in Miami

Obviously its because Isaiah is at a lower elevation then all of our players, right?

This may be the greatest short IT comment ever made on this site. And that’s saying something!

Grant keeps talking about the altitude The Celtics seem fine, and I know their best player isn’t a 270 pound big man, but still.

The altitude is not causing us to throw the ball to the Celtics...

They're signficantly deeper. It allows them to be aggressive with their subs

They are a quicker speedier team. The altitude plays into their hands, FWIW.

Celtics highest margin of victory in the NBA at around 16 points each win Blowing teams out is part of their game.

Man... I hate Isaiah when he plays for other teams. The constant mean mugging gets old.

Isaiah is going to own a % of this team before the game is over

Well............ If the game plan was to lull them into false sense of security, we are executing flawlessly

Celtics playing mediocre but it's good enough so far.

I think the refs are fatigued from the altitude too. Not many whistles..

Can the Kings find a flight back to the states at halftime? This seems like the best idea

Our guys have no legs .......
Or defense, or shots, or smarts. Makes things tough

Cousins Is literally running the floor like the sad fat kid in PE class runs the mile.

Brad Stevens is playing chess right now. And the Kings are playing Candyland.

IT is lightning quick

Think I'm voting on the Celtics arrive at the last minute plan being better than our take a midseason Mexico City vacation plan

Boston has one of the shortest, quickest rosters in the league and we're trying to out smallball them? Will we ever find our way out of smallball hell?

Cousins getting dominated by this Celtics front court on both ends..

Isaiah is getting nothing but wide open jumpers

Still drives me nuts that we don't have him anymore.

Apparently the Celtics are in much better shape than we are Funny, since both are NBA teams.

We play in the same association But were not even close to playing in the same league.

Serious question guys: Is there ANYONE that looked even remotely okay in that first half?

Isaiah Thomas!

So remind me... Why you guys were so happy to get rid of IT.

Who orchestrated having a full block of Celtics jerseys filling the screen behind Grant and Jerry? Seems strangely appropriate tonight

Kings gear isn't even the top seller in Sacramento. Why would you expect it to sell well 2200 miles away?

Kings are seriously turning me into an alcoholic

Nice They are hitting 3’s and we are hitting 1/2 from the line every time.

Oh, did you guys know that little IT is possibly one of the greatest basketball athletes of all time? It's great seeing a living legend like Isaiah Thomas. Makes me proud to be a Global fan of Global NBA basketball. A true ambassador to the masses. An underdog rising to the top. A hero to all. For that I Thank you, Isaiah Thomas.  (MY NOTE:  Holy shit.)

This team has no heart. None. I'm so tired of these underachieving lazy *** players. It's not Karl's system. It's the chumps on the court.  (MY NOTE:  Yeah, you're right, you need to trade some of them.  Can I make a few suggestions?)

We're losing to the Celts by almost 20 without Marcus Smart...that's kind of pathetic.

Sullinger plays Cousins as good as anyone in the league. Gives him a tough game every time they play

Why did Rondo get thrown out?

Rondo can’t help it that he was born with a pissed-off-looking resting face.

He looked like he was glaring at Kennedy, so Kennedy threw him out. But when does Rondo ever not look pissed off? Only when he cracks the rare smile.

I have never seen a player thrown out for just staring at a ref. Not a word was said.

Rondo didn't want to be a part of sluggishness of his teammates good move

IT is the little guy who talks hella **** because he knows that nobody can hit him.
No one wants to be the guy who knocks out one of the the shortest guys in the league.

Celtics are playing bully ball and refs are letting them. We should try it. Get a little chippy with them. Just to get some emotion going.

We're playing like total garbage and the refs are somehow one-upping us

Cartels got money on the Celtics

Sullinger has a Mohawk

Freakin Celtic feed "Sacramento is playing like it’s a charity game…. Yuk, yuk, yuk"

They know our game too well

Crowd sounds like they are all C fans. Never should’ve traded IT.

Olynyk flying dunks against our set defense is inexcusable

I give more of a shit about Kim Kardashian’s whale blubber ass implants than the Kings gave about this game. Pathetic.

I don't mind losing this big. Just not to a team like the Celtics that have just a fraction of the talent we do.

Welp...that was probably the worst game of the season so far.

It's difficult to pick just one "worst" When there have been so many.

Didn't know that.

That's funny!
