Biggest Victory Of the Year? I think so....

I'd say the road win against the Suns counts as a "big" win.

This is a juge win. It will give the Kings confidence and momentum in their umcoming road trip.

They were 12-1 at the time...

I dunno about that; the Suns have been playing great basketball, and it was definitely a big win, but the Spurs are still a much better team. For that matter, the Spurs are probably a better team than the Kings; this was a very big win.Heuge said:
What a show! That game was, at alternating moments in time, both the ugliest game and the most beautiful game I've ever seen the Kings play.

Without question the best they played this year. The TEAM defense was what did it. I hope this wakes them up b/c the D tonight for the Kings was unbeatable.
Was this the biggest victory of the year? Oh yeah... But it is only Jan. 2...
Seriously, this game was BIG. The Kings had to prove to themselves if no one else that they could beat the Spurs, one of the elite teams. They did it with grit and HUSTLE - big-time HUSTLE.
Don't forget that Pedja pretty much embarrassed Bowen and Webber made Duncan look like a bench player... those weren't accidents, folks. That was GOOD play by two key players.
And Special K? He stepped in to a BIG game and showed his stuff. That, in and of itself, is HUGE.
Message to the jerks who moaned and booed when Webber went to shot that j? Shut the bleep up.
This was a good, good game and I'm proud of how they hustled.

I'll admit I moaned as well. Although with the last couple shots he took he gave you reason to be doubtful. That was kinda messed up.

I understand how you feel I do. But you have to Believe!!! Almost every Big Shot he's taken this year , He's knocked down. When he was struggling(with his shot) tonight he changed it up, made great passes, played great D, and made huge hustle plays. Remember this game(and that shot) next time you feel like groaning.SacTownKid said:

Yea, this was the biggest game of the year so far. The Spurs are more of a team to beat than Phoenix. The Suns are a great team, but theyl have yet to prove they can beat the best teams in the league. They haven't played Indiana, Miami, or Detroit. They lost to Sac, Minny, and San Antonio.
The Spurs are a huge defensive nightmare, and for the Kings to win in such a strong fashion (rebounding, defense, bench stepping up during Bobby's injury, clutch shots, free throws...), it really speaks volumes about their heart and talent. They really gave a full game of effort. This game was the best one by far.

I go with the percentages and the percentage on that shot is not as high as a layup. So as long as we rely on a jumper its less than 50/50 statistically speaking. BIG BIG shot though.KP said:

Hey, Spurs played close D on us tonight too. They only grabbed 3 less boards than us 
and actually had 6 more steals AND we committed 7 more turnovers. Bibby got bailed out on D more than a couple of times by shoddy shooting by Parker and Ginobili, but it all worked out and was BY FAR the game of the year.

I think if I had to give a letter grade for the team tonight, I'd have to say it was a 'B' effort, I think that all the turnovers were severe lapses in concentration, I mean, bad pass after bad pass...soft passes, etc. If we didnt have all those, we would have won by 15, more than likely. But hey, I cant be entirely critical, we won, and didnt play our best, so that says something. I think the Spurs were, other than a couple of stretches, were unusually cold, missing alot of shots that they normally make, but I think that has alot to do with the defensive effort tonight, which I thought was grade 'A'. Webber especially with timely and HUGE blocks...Miller was key, too. On the road this week, if we play smart, we can win 3 of 4. I think this win was as big as any so far this season.
