It's pretty sad how I can expect this to happen and not be angry at all about it.
Until the Kings get rid of Slawes and get a legit middle, how can you possible think the Kings can keep up with teams that has a big that isn't scared to play basketball? It's as simple as that. Oh, and making FTs. That's just killing them.

Now it is, but the point is one of the major factors in winning these sort of games is actually BELIEVING you can do it, even if you're down by 5 with less than a minute left in the game. You have 48 minutes to play - use all of them until the last second, even if you are down and having a bad game. Sometimes a couple of good plays in the last minute of the game can fix 10 bad plays in the minutes preceding it.
I almost feel like Spence came here feeling like he was entitled to start... But doesn't ever show us he deserves too. We were all pulling for him to start through last season, but it had to be "given" to him.... He never really earned it and we all thought it was bad Theus and Natt... I'm not so sure anymore
Since I wasn't out there playing, I didn't think my comment would have an impact on the game.
And, since I'm arguably the most optimistic poster on this board, and the ultimate homer, I think it's somewhat telling that I knew deep in my heart of hearts we weren't going to pull this out. Of course, it could be intuition based on watching every televised Kings game since they came to Sacramento, and a fair number of games in person.
I'm usually the one waving the towel and urging people to have faith.

i blame this loss on my cousin candice, her last name is evans and her evans-evans connection was weak. she was missing shots at basketball practice and tyreke missed that last shot.... its all her fault. everytime we have a game on tuesday we lose because she sucks at basketball... she cant shoot, so tyreke misses shots... its the last name.
Ok, so I've seen the past few Kings games (first games of the year that I've seen), and here are my thoughts:
I am VERY impressed with Beno Udrih. After a bad year last year, he's really surprised me this year with the way he's playing. I'm impressed with a lot of Kings, but I feel that I have to make my point about Udrih stand out, seeing as how I took him out of my rotation altogether in NBA 2K9.
After a year of being hopeful about our young bigs, this year I am NOT impressed with them. Either of them. Hawes just plain sucks at this point (I know, he's young) and Thompson seems to have a pretty low basketball IQ. I actually like Thompson but he could be much more effective if he made smarter decisions.
Also got to give props to Tyreke (my new favorite player), Casspi, Greene (big fan of his too, although he could work on his shot selection), Rodriguez and Udoka. I don't know about you guys, but I don't think we need Garcia when he comes back. I like our wing players, and I think we should look to trade Garcia, Nocioni and/or Martin, but only for the right deal in Martin's case.

Well, I'm sure the Israeli fans here will testify that we have witnessed quite a few miracles (at least when it comes to Maccabi) in the past years, and we have learned to always keep the faith, and narcissisticaly believe that our faith actually has influence over the team. I personally take credit for quite a few of the big wins, due to my jinxing of the opponents during their free throws in the final minutes of important games

I'm also one of the most superstitious people on the board and I'm very glad to know we have another lucky charm in our midst!
Welcome to Kingsfans.com BTW...It's great to see so many Israelis joining and giving their thoughts on the team, the game, etc.
And thank you for giving us Omri.
