GG Ben.

 

[Tetsujin]

Yeah Ben is the MVP for the Spurs this game seriously we woud have been better off playing 4 on 5 he's an idiot can't do anything cost us 30+ points going both way. How can you be this poopoo seriously

Actually, I'm pretty sure Parker has been tonight

 

[swisshh]

Really felt like Thornton should have seen more minutes at the end.

 

[Kingsfan23]

Good effort

 

[dude12]

Parker shoots over IT....IT played hat fairly well but a classic example of his height being a detriment

 

[TheBadGuy]

Malone better bench McLemore, start Rudy at the SG and Williams at the SF.

 

[VF21]

Some of you need to take a pill or something. The amount of venom being spewed towards our own team - a team that did a pretty damned good job against a top tier team - is embarrassing.

 

[1234kings]

rudy gay was shooting well too, I was surprised he didn't even get the ball much in the last few minutes.

 

[Tetsujin]

Just a taste of reality here: They are the San Antonio Spurs, playing with their entire roster. We are the Sacramento Kings. If we walk away having played this well we have gained a lot - win or lose.

I repeat - they are the San Antonio Spurs playing in San Antonio. We didn't suck. A lot of far-better teams have lost by a lot more.

You mean I shouldn't burn my Ben McLemore voodoo doll?

We're not playing our best lineup down the stretch. Regardless of who the team is, that doesn't make sense

 

[enigma99a]

Team is starting to learn how to play together.. good game tonight

We're acting like Lakers fans right now. My gosh. Everyone needs to calm down

 

[upinsmoke]

**** you Ben. Go to the ****ing d league *****

I'm not saying he's not struggling but how can you post that with "that guy" in your avatar?

What's embarrasing is that our own players hurt us more than the other team why is Mclemore in the game? Why does Thornton even play? Our own players killed us more than the other team. We win that game easy if we don't have to low IQ chuckers one who can't even catch the ball in the game.

 

[MrWetYouUp]

Ben really cost us that game.

 

[xrzn]

Rudy was killing them and not one play went to him down the stretch.

 

[spudfan]

Ben was incredibly disappointing. Our offense was a mess to end the fourth too but aside from that, it was a pretty good game.

 

[jsb]

It's like Ben is nonexistent out there. Never gets a shot and his defense is horrible. Why do they keep playing him? I would like to say its a slump but he has been horrible 90% of the games.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Malone better bench McLemore, start Rudy at the SG and Williams at the SF.

we need Williams down the stretch. He's more valuable and has more impact than Ben, by far...stats or no stats

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

benching ben during a season where we have almost no shot at the play-Offs to win games is a bad idea. Now, I do want Williams to start, he looked like he could potentially live up to the top pick when he was starting with us.

Why not try IT-Ben-Gay-Williams-Cousins? We have nothing to lose.

 

[spudfan]

Rudy was killing them and not one play went to him down the stretch.

What about the play where he had the ball then forced the pass into JT? Or was that not "down the stretch".

 

[KingsCitizen]

JT "stonehands" give this game in 4th.
Could have used NDiaye there guarding Tim and foul the crap out of Duncan instead of JT giving up points like a schooled kid

 

[Tetsujin]

We didn't lose the game, the Spurs won it. Simple as that. Manu and Parker simply flipped a switch in crunch time and Duncan's defense shut down Cuz down the stretch.

These guys were in the finals last year and have won many championships before. Everyone just needs to remain calm.

It's not like we got blown out by the Milwaukee Bucks.

 

[dmj]

Spurs are just a much deeper team than we are.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

wasn't much of a foul and it was extremely stupid for him not to kick it out.

When he made the catch on that ****ty pass, he was the only one down court. And Duncan did foul him in the back. He should have passed when he got the rebound, but under duress, I'll let that slide.

Thompson made a number of mistakes tonight, but:

1. He wasn't the reason we lost tonight, and
2. More than a few of his mistakes (that pass, the inbound with 0.5 remaining, just to name two) were the result of his teammates setting him up to fail.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Ben needs more looks. You think he'll magically score threes when he doesn't receive the ball, with good looks???

 

[KingMilz]

benching ben during a season where we have almost no shot at the play-Offs to win games is a bad idea. Now, I do want Williams to start, he looked like he could potentially live up to the top pick when he was starting with us.

Why not try IT-Ben-Gay-Williams-Cousins? We have nothing to lose.

Because Ben is awful and Williams can't play PF and is a wing

 

[HereWeBoogie]

I know its the spurs so playing them tough is a good accomplishment, but the fact that they had the game in the bag and just completely threw it away is just infuriating

When you are under the hoop and have two guys on you it is so incredibly hard to pass it out. Trapped by the baseline + 2 people is a recipe for disaster, the pass shouldn't go down that deep. Hard to fault JT.
