one of the kings greatest strengths thus far this season is their ability to execute in the clutch. against SA, it was tough, and they couldnt fight that defense, but overall, the kings have done very well in clutch situations this season. rarely do they blow teams out, but they make the big shots when they need to, and thats gonna be a key in the playoffs, when very few games are ever blowouts.
Coachie Pete Carrill always says you learn a lot more about your team in a close game than you do in blowouts. Personally, they scare me half to death, giving the Kings the name " the Kardiac Kings," but at the end of the day I'm just glad that they are able to pull out a good % of them.
I didn't get to see most of the game last night, but that final shot was AMAZING!!! I thought I'd never get to say this, but Webber really is becoming Mr. Clutch. I wonder if it will happen in the playoffs as well...
I got a Kings 2005 calendar on my desk. It has some trivias written for each day. For example, Jan 28 - "Chris Webber made his home debut as a Kings' player a smash by totaling 25 points, 15 rebounds, 8 assists and 9 blocks against Vancouver on Feb 7, 1999".
right now WEBBER is playing the best iv'e seen him play in a long time.I'm glad we have more than 1 player with #$%$s to take THE BIG SHOT with the game on the line,and if its WEBBER, than so be it!!!
