Yeah, that was sweeeeet....I like that also to be my avatar... But you requested it first :(

That was old school. Nice to see Barnes playing again.

By the way, who was the first player who did that in the history of Basketball? NBA or in the street :)

Wait...so what happened?
Matt Barnes was suppose to inbound the ball. There was around 2 seconds left. He hit the ball of the side of Massenburg's knee while he wasn't paying attention, got it back hit the layup + the foul. Funny play.

that was the highlight of the game for the kings.... then after that play, they only score 13 points... maybe they should have left webber and bibby out? though darius was in foul trouble and ostertag was sucking bigtime.... but it would have been nice if barnes had played the rest of the game.

That was a GREAT play! And Massenburg's confused expression made it even more priceless!

Whatever they did, they HAD to get Ostertag out of there. It was not his night.

Well "old school" is normally used to refer to something before your time, and before YOUR time I'm pretty sure that there was no basketball. Or indoor plumbing. ;) :D

Must have made dribbling a real *****... :p
Mostly we drooled. But when you bounced the ball off of some Neanderthal’s back on an inbound you more than embarrassed him!

At least he got a few stops and changed a few shots. I think he could be utilized more effectively against the Spurs.

The biggest downside to playing Tag was the Spurs aren't stupid. They figured out pretty quickly the best way to stop our offense dead in its tracks was to foul Tag any time the ball went through him. Sending him to the line was a cheap way to get the ball back, and most of the time without giving up any points in the process.

Okay, wait. I've got it.

The Spurs WOULD have played hack-a-Tag if he had been in after they were already in the penalty. Adelman KNEW this, so he didn't play into their hand by putting Tag back out there.












Whew.

Nice recovery, if I do say so myself.

:D

The problem with playing Tag tonight was that he actuly missed a shot from like 2 feet out, and he moved like a Mamoth in a tar pit. So what he brings in interior defnese was nullified by good passing and pesky little gaurds like Parker and Ginobli getting in to the paint. In short his defense was not working and he brought in NO offesnce. Might have helped the Kings to hold a lead but no way the Kings could take the lead with him in there.
