Kings at Jazz, Jan 27 2014 7pm Game Thread

[JimLes]

Our very own

versus

I think all our soldiers are battle ready, while the Kings are missing Cousins and Gay is a game time decision.

Thomas had his first practice with the Jazz, and apparently had not bothered to read the Utah Jazz wikipedia article after signing, as he asked to wear number 4 after seeing no one on the team wore it. With good reason, too.

Of course, obligatory pictures.

Not sure what demographic they were aiming at with this one.

Also, some Beach Boys.

Down in Utah
The guys and I dig a city called Salt Lake
It's got the grooviest kids
That's why we never get tired of Salt Lake
And the way the kids talk so cool
Is an out of sight thing
And the number one radio station
Makes the town really swing yeah
Salt Lake City we'll be coming soon

There's a park near the city, yeah
All the kids dig the Lagoon now
It's full of all kinds of girls
And rides and we'll be flyin' there soon now
And girl for girl
They've got the cutest of the Western states
They got the sun in the summer
And winter time the skiing is great yeah
Salt Lake City we'll be coming soon

Cousins is out, Gay made the trip, but is still a game time decision. Jimmer shooting 50% from 3. Tankers will be sad because we will kill da Kings.

Sack Kings at Utah Jazz: 27 Jan 2014, 7:00 pm MST

This could be the greatest tank battle since the Battle of Prokhorovka!

The visitors: The Seattle, er, Sad Sack Kings.

Some fans will be pitching a tent over this guy:

I know one semi-retired fan will be pitching a tent over this guy, even though he isn't playing (strained lips from immature pouting, out indefinitely).

Kings might be going with Gay, might not be:

The Home team:

Let the battle begin!

Nice game thread! I'm hyped for this game. I'm not a big Gay guy, but I think Rudy pushes the Kings over the top.

I wish Gordon would start playing this video game instead of Starcraft.

Just like in the old days...Isiah Thomas once again will be schooled by the Jazz.

Rochester Royals? I can remember when the Cincinnati Royals became the Kansas City Kings, but my memory isn't good enough to remember the Rochester Royals.

 

[Doublea]

If we win, we won't be last in the western conference and we will be picking #7 in the draft.... must lose this....

Karl was a ******* son of a bitch. I'm eternally grateful that he was OUR ******* son of a bitch.

On a related note, when Delonte West decided to aurally penetrate Gordon Hayward, one of the first thoughts that crossed my mind on seeing Gordon walk away was what would've happened had someone 4 inches shorter and 30 pounds lighter than Karl had tried to do that to him.

There should be a handicap in basketball. The Queens would get like 20 extra points tonight.

Jazz are trying to spot them the lead; they are certainly giving them plenty of offensive rebounds.

It looks like our players were given some valium before the game in their pizza...

That player would have ended up like Jimmy Hoffa.

I hope the delevery man got a huge tip.
