Rick Adelman would'nt have lost that game... thats for damn sure.
A BIG F****** F!!! for musselman!!
just about the worst god damn coaching i have seen in a long time... Good idea not putting the ball in Bibby's hand at the end of the game... your a genius.. not to mention your awesome defense against the layup to put this game in over time...
We didnt chokle it away..
We made a good comeback but u use all ur energy coming back and missed free throws did haunt us again. It wouldnt be a Kings Lakers game without us missing 15 free throws would it? Our best free throw shooter misses 5 tonight. =( All we had to do was make one, one freaking free throw when we were up by four with six seconds left and we have the game.

We've been beaten by a lot more pathetic Lakers teams in the last 2 years. I'm not sure how coming back from 20 points down with a team which has 1.5 good players gets a coach fired, but there were a lot of things I never understood on this board.
Anyhow, I agree that Corliss was at least solid tonight. He erased Bynum in the 2nd half and played as well as he can. His last shot was absolutely the best shot we can get it just didn't go down.

I would like to respectfully disagree that Reef should've gotten that call over Corliss. Corliss played his rear end off tonight, and while this isn't 1994, he still was probably just as good of an option to get a high quality shot to tie this game as Bibby or KMartin, either of whom would've probably been doubled (or at least had help defenders focused on them) if they had a play set up for them. Corliss got the high quality shot...unfortunately he just didn't make it.
Well, I'll give Corliss this: He's the only King that currently has an NBA Championship ring. I think that says alot...too bad the Sacramento Kings as a team will never taste the sweetness of winning an NBA Title. SOmeone ask all those guys over on the LA bench and in the game what it feels like...must be a pretty nice feeling.
Corliss busted his *** out there... He single handedly took Bynum out of the game... Pulling the chair, fronting, etc. He missed some free throws that really hurt. And even though I would have LOVED to have came out with a win. I gotta give it up to the Kings man. They fought hard all night. Mike fought hard all night. Ron busted his *** all night. Salmons busted his *** all night. Garcia... Well I really don't know that the hell he was doing... Incredible game... Hard game to swallow. But I really think the Kings took a huge step tonight. Whether or not they take steps back within the next games remains to be seen. We are at an attrocious 14-16 (worse than the T-Pups) which is not good. But I think the Kings can really come out and MAYBE take the 6th seed. IF they play with the heart they played with tonight. But that is a big IF I suppose.
I disagree. I'm not saying he gets a FREE pass. He earned it tonight. There were MANY missed free throws and even more missed point blank shots. Any of those would have won the game. Mike played his heart out tonight. He, along with a few others on the team, played with effort, heart, and passion tonight. I HATE losing, especially to the Lakers, but I can take comfort in saying that the actually played like they gave a damn tonight.
Are we talking about the same guy under which the Kings were called chokers? The same guy whose superior team regularly blew 20 point leads ...? Let's be a little realistic.
And meanwhile, noone is pointing finger at our savior who took himself out of the game on the most retarded 6th foul I have ever seen in my whole life?

Please stop with the choke job, the lakers are the one who almost completed the the choke job. They completely out played us thouout the the whole game even having a 20 point lead at some point, they were supposed to win the game. The king showed great spirit with the comeback but the king did not deserves the win.
Good point. Just used to Corliss missing LOTS of layups. He DID play his heart out, but the missed layups, especially the one at the end, were heartbreaking.
Kings played hard. Took them a long time before they adjusted and woke up, though. Still, they played hard. We could've done a lot of things differently, but it's not gonna matter now. We get no do-overs. It's a loss we'll just have to deal with.

I'm not expecting perfection --- I didn't complain about the other three free throws Mike missed tonight, or many of the shots he missed tonight. But that one missed free throw hurt, and could be a reason why someone could blame Mike for the loss. I'm not just blaming him, nor do I want to ignore the otherwise great effort he put forth tonight. I was just responding to another post.
And right after that, Kevin missed a FT, too. That was also a HUGE missed FT.
I'm sorry but I don't think Mike could be blamed for this loss at all. It's a team loss. Mike led the team back, and people stepped up. That's why we got in the game. Without Mike's fire and leadership, this game would've been over in the 3rd. We would've laid down when we were down 21 and there could've been a Potapenko sighting.

I did not think that his defense was any worse that anybody else (excluding Ron) on the team tonight. As a team, we stink on defense. I am not saying he played great D. That would not be accurate. I just don't think it was worse than the rest. I also think that he is the main reason that we even had a chance at the end.
