First Step In The Right Direction

Apparently, in piksi's opinion, we have to beat the Hawks by fifty points. And outrebound them by a hundred. And anything less is a "disappointment." An opinion which he is entitled to have, and an opinion which I am entitled to say is patently ludicrous.funsc said:
Oh no! We only beat the Hawks by ten points; the sky is falling!

Well, just the fact that we allowed 102 pts to the team in which Walker plays center is trouble by itself.
If You have to score over 100 against Hawks to win - is trouble too.
Allowing 48 pts to a team that again has Walker as a center is not good either.
Other than that - Kings from the past years would have killed such opponent. noe we are releived to beat the worst team in the league at home.
All in all - something has to change quick - otherwise trouble

The Spurs only beat the Hornets by a measly 10 pts a month ago. The Spurs are in trouble...

I can relate to what Piski is saying,i dont think we need to blow em out by 20-30,but 1/2 way thru the 4th and you allow this team to get right back into game ,it's scary.
we need our edge back.against better teams,this games a toss up.I'm not trying to be negitive cause I hate that,just realistic.Soooo glad we won ,

I just hope the Spurs can find it within themselves to put that mediocre performance out of their minds and rise to the challenge of the Rockets tomorrow (and "LET'S GO JAZZ" against the Mav's while we're at it)
And this is relevant to my statement exactly how?piksi said:
You have stated on numerous occasions in the past that it is your opinion that the Kings should blowout every sub-.500 team they play, and that if they do not, it is a disappointment in your opinion. Do you now aim to deny that this is so? That you ever said that? I don't need to see a game to know your opinion on this matter, not when you've stated your opinion several times in the past. I basically accused you of seeing the glass half-empty. And cracked. I defy you to prove that assessment to be incorrect.
I am not speaking from a "Pollyanna, glass-half-full" point of view; I am speaking from a "sick of your for-every-silver-lining-there-is-a-dark-cloud" point of view. Just because we didn't blow out the Hawks doesn't mean that we are in "deep, deep trouble." Now, if we had actually... oh, I don't know... *LOST* to the Hawks at home... *THEN* we'd probably be in "deep, deep trouble." Or, if we'd won, but lost one of our key players for the rest of the season, *THEN* we'd be in "deep, deep trouble." Winning a game by double-digits without one of your two best players is not grounds for "deep, deep trouble."
I am not elated that we beat the Hawks, but...
Oh wait. Yes, I am. The Kings stopped their slide. They played, for the most part, pretty good ball. I saw defense, I saw focus, I saw hustle.
I also saw Harrington do the impossible and sink three after three, something that is to be expected by at least one player on a mediocre to poor team whenever they play the Kings.
Matt Barnes is coming along quite nicely and had a GREAT NIGHT. Webber was GOOD!!!! Bibby, even with his foot still not 100%, was able to move and move fairly well. Miller had a decent game. It was apparent Cat had finally gotten a bit of practice because he looked a lot more comfortable out there. I also saw Adelman a lot more animated and not sitting back just letting the team work through their slow spots. I saw a lot to be hopeful about.
I'm totally baffled by some of the comments in here. Geez, people.
As the title of the thread states, it's the first step in the right direction.

i really liked is use of timeouts...usually you are right he just lets the team work through their slow spots or their poor defense spots...but each time that ATL went on a run...he called a TO...at one point when they were up by double digits for awhile and allowed ATL to get it down to single digits (9 to be exact) he called a TO...usually he wouldn't call one until like it gets to 5 or 6
thx for mentioning RA

Ya I did Slim. You are right, that was the best post in History. Or was it? I guess now that the board crashed we'll never know. Maybe you never posted anything at all!
