Pistons @ Kings Game Thread

Why is the game close?

I thought the Pistons were still good, they must be toying with us.

Their bench already has over half an hour of PT.

they are on the end of the long road trip. This is their 5th game in 8 nights. They are tired. They will try to win this one on experience

 

[piksi]

we can't get any stops but the rebounding is solid

 

[Jechtsphere]

Kevin isn't playing too well.

 

[GeraldWallace#3]

Is it just me, or does Rip Hamilton do the weirdest things before he shoots his freethrow.

 

[piksi]

he is being defended well

What? Doesn't everyone do the double bounce, shift the ball to your right, bounce again and shoot?

He does something weird. It can't help his shot so must be some playground "cool guy" thing.

 

[Glenn]

Do I hear an echo? Ooops, I'm the echo.

 

[fnordius]

He does something weird. It can't help his shot so must be some playground "cool guy" thing.

Or something he considers lucky. It's surprising how many NBA players have quirky little superstitions.

60% shooting for the Pistons and we are still in the game.

It's called getting into a rhythm and it does help in preparation of the shot. Players try to follow the same familiar routine of movements before shooting a free throw so that after a while the whole shot becomes second nature. Of course, for most players do not have exaggerated movements but almost every good shooter follows some sort of preparation routine that they repeat when they get to the charity stripe.

Yes. That's more likely.

 

[Jechtsphere]

Beno is a keeper.

 

[Glenn]

Artest does an awful lot of good things. Nice pass, nice finish

 

[GeraldWallace#3]

WOW, Mikkie Moore

 

[Andriod_KiNg]

Beno !?!?

 

[Glenn]

Don't look now but Mikki is having a good game.

 

[Jechtsphere]

Beno is a keeper.

No Beno is unstoppable!

 

[fnordius]

Beno is a keeper.

He may have a shot at taking Salmons' (0-2 shooting and 1-2 FT, 0 reb, 1 assist, 2 TO) place on my fantasy teams.

 

[chelle]

You have to admit that this half has been fun. The crowd really seems to be into it. That's great!!

I picked up Beno before anyone knew about him which might still be true.

 

[GeraldWallace#3]

Looks like we are gonna have two career highs in a row.

 

[Jechtsphere]

LOL accidental bank shot by Brad, I'll take it!

Hey, didn't you hear him call, "Bank?"

 

[piksi]

this is by far the best quarter of the season

 

[GeraldWallace#3]

lol, at the kings commercial "Where amazing happens"

 

[6th]

Yep! And, it certainly was exciting to watch.

 

[Jechtsphere]

Kev has had some nice passes.

Brad with no headband, now he's serious!

 

[piksi]

Sheed will kill us if we don't do something quickly
