This was a good game, i was really impressed by kmart.imagine b jax martin evans songaila as our bench in the playoffs.tonights defesnse was great but the question will be can we be play like this on a nightly basis and im talking abt the d.how many of u think c-webb can play 75+ games this year i think he will.

I really hope so. It's very frustrating watching the Kings not play D against lesser teams beceause they don't think they have too. I know i have beat this dead horse many times but good D takes effort. Great D is a habit.

As I said in a familar post, if we played like this every game, and averaged 13 TO's we would be the best team in the NBA. Especially if our Defense and Bench wwas like it was today!

I think this game could help inspire the team to play D. All we've been hearing is how we haven't really beaten a "quality" team, and we come out, play good D, and beat the Spurs. Maybe now we'll start seeing a better effort on the defensive side every game.

Great D is what we played tonight, its also what SA tends to play every night, also why they are, in the eyes of anylysts the number 1 team.

If we can do as they do, with our scoring ability, and bench, we can turn some heads.
Webb sure got them going..

In answer to the thread tiotle -- no, proabbly not. But it agains displays the same thing we displayed in the playoffs last year -- we are a very experienced team and we still know how to step up the defense in big games. As long as we retain the ability to play like this come May, we'll still have a shot.

 

[Nikos]

If the Kings do step it up on defense, can they maintain elite calibur offense? Peja was a big part of the offense and he went dry in the playoffs.

Its nice the team showed they can D up, but the point is can they D up AND stay close to their regular season offensive efficiency?

Can they play D and not see their offense be reduced to mediocrity (even by playoff drop-off standards)?

hopefully guys like Webb, Bibby and Peja will realize that if they hadnt played great D there was no way they would have won that game, and this will be a spark for them to play consistant D

Um...

Err...

Well...

Hopefully they'll realize?

You make it sound as though it was some kind of cosmic coincidence and not concerted effort we saw on the court last night.

It's not a matter of knowing what to do. It's actually getting out and doing it. They know the game of basketball inside and out; they know what it takes to win. It isn't a matter of them realizing anything. It's all in the execution.

we better.

ill tell ya the defense last night was really exciting me....

i kept yellin...."I LOVE THE DEFENSE!!"

Exactly. That is what frustrates me the most about this team. They are very capable of playing good D and its always the execution, it's never been that they just can't play D.
