mad run here, top start

 

[Sac.1989]

AND WE'VE GOT THEM ON THE RUN - timeout POR

 

[Sluggah]

sounds like it would be exciting if i could see or hear it

 

[Sac.1989]

box score watching, bar brockman we havnt got jack from our forwards this game. Portlands out bounding us 18-22. If our forwards can pick up the slack we could be in for a good finish

 

[OptimusRhyme]

wow our bigs are absolutely useless.

 

[Circa_1985_Fan]

wow our bigs are absolutely useless.

Well, at least we see what we need to get NEXT offseason...

 

[Sac.1989]

look for caspi to spark something late 3rd

 

[Kevin_Martin_23]

it'd be nice for ONCE to have a completely healthy team and see what we have

 

[Sac.1989]

millers getting into the paint at will

 

[OptimusRhyme]

hey we won the quarter at least... 25-23

 

[PurpleHaze]

Sergio and Donte MIA so far...

 

[SacTownKid]

if oden finally breaks out like he seems to be on the verge of...that team is gonna be a beast

Just another Kings killer. I mean, he's a good player, but he looks like Shaq 2 against the Kings.

 

[Sac.1989]

looking at the box score is depressing, evens is our 2nd punch

 

[Sac.1989]

really could have used a 3 from noc

 

[Sac.1989]

were gunning now, beno, cisco, noc, evens, KT

 

[Merdiesel]

Thompson needs to step his game up!

..and Westphal needs to put Donte in the damn game! We know what the hell Thomas and Nocioni can do!

Howard and his dam midrangers.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

10 - 17 (assist - turnover)

You cant win with that. We need to learn how to protect the ball.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

I dont know if its the replacement refs ( cant watch the game ) but for the second straight night we have a early foul out. JT just picked up his sixth.

 

[Kevin_Martin_23]

fouls are ridiculous. plz, no blood, no foul

Well, he may yet turn out to be Shaq 2 -- that was the thought when he was drafted. But if not, big, strong, physical inside player = gee, shocker he would join our Wiltzilla list, since we as a franchise seem to have made a conscious choice to avoid those sorts of guys, because they never like, you know, win titles or anything.

 

[OptimusRhyme]

why does our 23rd pick only have 10 minutes played....

 

[Bricklayer]

I dont know if its the replacement refs ( cant watch the game ) but for the second straight night we have a early foul out. JT just picked up his sixth.

Seems clear that he just absolutely could nto contend with Oden's power. Always lots of fouls in preseason anyway. Sure the refs don;t help.

Um, I'm pretty sure we didn't have much of a chance to get Greg Oden, considering how he was taken #1 and all...

Come on, Brickie. I know you love to poke sticks at Petrie but just what imposing bigs have we passed over?

 

[Sac.1989]

John Wall nxt yr

 

[PurpleHaze]

We don't need Wall we need size and strength.

 

[OptimusRhyme]

we are honestly going into the season without a backup center.. i think some trades need to happen.
