Even though Kings came back from 35 point deficit, they played horribly. We need a defensive minded, and a shot blocker center.
 
If you are with the kings in a close game and your best player is your PG and you need him to get you something...good luck

I semi agree, i thought our teamwork wasn't that good, just solid solo performances. The bulls played the worst basketball i've ever seen (including middle school basketball).
 
Team needs work on rotations and offense, still play very hard and hustle their brains out tho
 
Haven't seen any props given to Donte yet.

He helped slow down Deng, who was pretty much unguardable in the 1st half. Also hit a couple of threes to help keep the game within reach.
And had 2nd best +/- next to Brockman.

I like him starting at SG until Martin gets back, i think Casspi should start at SF, though.
 
Its a good thing I had a friend over to watch the game, otherwise I would have turned the channel and would have missed a remarkable comeback.

What an awesome game. They are replaying the game right now and I'm going to watch it again.

By the way, Brockman gets an A+.

I agree.

Gameball goes to Brockman, Ime comes in a close 2nd, but I think it really turned around when Donte came in and shut down Deng while hitting those 3's.

Nocioni really hurt us today. He couldn't hit his shots (1-7) and he let Deng absolutely destroy us.

You know, I'm only able to watch about 1 game out of 4 with my wife. She was just miserable watching the first portion of this game, but stuck with it. Turns out that this will be one of the most memorable games we'll ever see, so it turned out to be a fantastic night.

Go Kings!
 
Donte should start to guard Lebron Wednesday. Donte is the only guy on the team that has a chance.
 
Just got a chance to see the game... that was insane. Brock and Ime played great, hell Brockman may have had the best 0 point performance I have ever seen. It was a great all around effort by the bench especially on the defensive end.

The Bulls choked, plain and simple. Vinny Del Negro is on his way out after that performance and deservedly so.

Two in a row on the road and one game under .500 with a tough stretch coming up, impressive start to the season from this young team.

That means we tripled them up over something like an 18 minute period. That is shocking.

Not to take anything away from our guys, but what a magnificent chokejob by the Bulls. Middle of the 4th, when we were down 13, couldn't seem to score, and Chicago came down and turned it over on something like 4 out of 5 possessions...you could just feel the Vader-grip on their throats. Fortunately Grand Moff Tarkin wasn't there to call it off.

yeah, it was a great comeback but we almost got blown out by a team thats 10-16... there is no reason for this team to be down 35 to the bulls (10-16) in the first place. love the effort that the team had to get back in the game but would that happen against a team with a +.500 record? probably not. hawes, casspi and nocioni shot the ball horribly, evans started off poorly but picked it up and got his numbers... the bench played extremely well though, gotta give props to them for playing well given the situation. beno and udoka scored well off the bench, sergio had 10 points and 7 assists in 20 minutes. brockman grabbed 6 rebounds in 17 minutes(evans had 8 in 44 minutes). so those 6 were huge given the time he spent on the floor....
 
so im rewatching this game right now. hard to beleive that if any shot that is put up was an inch or two to the right or left, they would have lost this game. so happy right now

He really has emerged as maybe our best SF defender, and the only remote athletic match. He'll be lucky to last 20 minutes before fouling out, but its definitely a matchup I would try out.

What the heck, throw Brockman at him. At least he'll know he was in a game. :)

And, he was literaly on the floor many times. One of my favorite moments that really didn't amount to anything, was when Miller got the ball in high post, put the ball on floor and made a quick spin move to his right, and ran right into Brockman and bounced off of him. Everything changed from that moment on.

This is one that I regret missing. Good stuff.

ya really shouldn't "regret missing" the game...

it was UUUUUUUGLY...

truthfully, the kings second half surge (which was really more like a 1.5 quarter surge) was helped by an astonishingly bad second half offensive effort on the part of the bulls...

as bad as the kings played in the first half, the bulls were much worse in the fourth quarter...

better to get hot when it matters, i suppose...

congrats to the kings on achieving the second greatest comeback in nba history...

while an impressive feat, i would rather the kings simply stay competitive for the entirety of four quarters on the road against a poor team...

i feel really bad for vinny del negro, though...

if his fate this season wasn't already sealed, this game has to be the one that breaks the camel's back, so to speak...

it may not happen immediately, because i can't imagine the bulls firing yet another coach on christmas eve (how effed is that?!), but its not gonna take long after blowing a 35-point third quarter lead at home to lose the game...
