Grades v. Spurs 04/30

[bibbinator]

I was there tonight too. All that noise gave me a big headache, but it was worth it.

What about Ron's crazy buzzer basket at the half? I need to see that again, the whole 20 seconds of it, not just the basket. I couldn't believe my eyes. I've never seen anyone play like that before. It was special.

Also, RA's time out early in the third when the Spurs started making a run. I was sitting in my chair saying to myself, "OK this is the part of the game where the Kings pee away a lead while Adelman watches passively from the sidelines", and then -- A TIME OUT! The Spur's run ends, and they never get back in the game after that. A miracle!

Two words - Holy crap.

Arco grade: A+++

Gavin Maloof grade: A+++

I just got home. I cannot speak, I may not regain the hearing in either ear in the foreseeable future and I don't care. I ran into a group of Kings fans in Marysville. They showed up at the same Carl's Jr. where I was meeting my ride back up to the wilderness. We pretty much owned the place and spent the entire time as we ate talking about the game.

I don't know how loudly the crowd came across the TV but I have never heard Arco louder. When the time came for the half court shot for someone to win a car, it was unbelieveable. The guy missed and the announcer exorted the crowd to ask Gavn for one more try. Gavin said okay, and the guy misses from outside the arc. One more try? Gavin said yes again. Usually when this happens, the person does not win a car. They just win cash. Well, the guy missed from the free-throw line. The announcer went to Gavin, put the microphone up and said, "How about Gavin? One more try?" Gavin said, "Yes, if he does a lay-up he gets the car." I don't think the young man heard Gavin say the part about the car. He made the lay-up off the glass and Arco went nuts. I think it was only then that he realized he had won a car. It was that kind of night.

The team fed off the crowd and the crowd fed off the performances on the court.

Not in our house, San Antonio. NOT IN OUR HOUSE!!!

God, I love this team!!!!

Wow... that's unbelievable. I'm so envious right now.

Also made a nice class move to put Corliss in the game at the end after the exuberant crowd starting chanting his name.

I didn't catch the last 3 mins of the game.

Very classy on RA part. I friggin HEART this man.

Ron's play on that one was incredifrigginbelievable! Watching it later...you know what made me really grin? It was Horry he stole that ball from and Horry he leaped over to put it in the bsket. hahahahahahahaha...I LOVED it!

(Oh, and after Ron missed the first shot it was Kevin that managed to tap the ball back to Ron for that 2nd shot. WTG Kevin!)

 

[ParniValjak]

Bonzi is the man!!!!!

Just re-sign him for gooness sake. He is our heart and soul. An absolute monster.

Pound for pound the best rebounding guard in the game. Imagine if we had a center that can rebound

 

[Viking]

my fave part was definitely the Bonzi chant.

Oh yeah, and his MONSTER dunk.

 

[El Duque]

I'm gonna give my first grade ever, and it's to the Kings as a team... A+++ for establishing a mental edge against San Antonio, which we have NEVER had. For once we got some crazy bounces and some lucky shots.

As far as Reef goes, is it just me or does it seem like this guy conscioiusly tries to underachieve on the boards at the highest level each and every night? Duncan is a beast, I know, but come on... but other than that, bee-yoo-tiful.

All i can say is that Ron Artest is possessed. And i'm not complaining. It's been a hell of a show thusfar...

VF: The crowd came off REAL loud on TV. The crowed pretty much owned that game, and Grant said that the crowd was just as much of a factor as the kings players.

You guys were REAL loud! Good job all!

 

[Bonzi_Wells]
