WOW !!!!!!!!
Kings responded - in many ways against the odds of the "experts" beating the champs. That was not supposed to happen
. I have read and heard many comments explaining the Pistons loss and none of them had anything to do with the way the Kings played. I am sick and tired of that BS.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
You could feel how big that win was. The whole team wanted it. The team did it. Pistons made "the other guys" beat them and boy did they ever. There was defense, effort, will. There was "general" Bibby on the floor - comanding troups. Pistons came close several tomes and there was always someone that reasponded. When was the last time You saw RA giving such an emotional response after Mike sealed the game with the 3 - that is how big it was.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
When ARCO was needed the most - it was there. That is what Kings needed. Energy and excitement usually get transfered both ways. This time the crowd nedded to be one that gives and it did. They welcomed the new guys and the new guys paid it back imedeately.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have to mention the referees again here. Pedja and Mike got mugged many time on Sunday and that is called good defense. Last night D. Wade went to the line 23 times. If You thad to breath loudly while standing close to him - You were called for a foul. How does one explain the difference ?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Injuries - big part of every f... season. If You are a free agent and want to sign with Kings - You have to assume that You will be injured at some point while being a King. Is this ever going to stop ? No Miller and Mobley tonight again. Also no Thomas - my condolences.
No sympathy for any time any more. I do not care if an opponent show up - and their coach has to suit up because they do not have enough players.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
BIG BIG game tonight. It counts "twice" We win tonight - we gain one more game on MEM and we clinch the series. It might end up being important. They are playing well currently but we are still more talented. They also have injured players but again I could care less. We have shown capability of defending and rebounding. Can we build on that today ?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mike - played defense in the 4th on Sunday. We need more of that. He is due for a good shooting game. Always fun when Bibby vs Williams happens
Pedja - can he remember the last season game where he scored 41 against them. Can he remember how to score 20+? He is contributing in other ways not shown in numbers or stats but he needs to score more. The team needs it. 4-15 just sucks.
Darius - played great last game. His shot was on and he profited from Mike and Pedja being doubleteamed. Can he stay out of foul trouble ?
Evans - finnally was there when needed the most. Great effort. Can he stay under control ?
Skinner - won ARCO over in one single game. Very reliable at what he does.
Corliss - will get to play some 4 again. Should do just fine there. Can he also stay out of foul trouble ?
House - might have more minutes than usual tonight. Hit some important shots and plays a good D most of the times.
Martin - will get some minutes. Needs to relax just a bit out there.
Tag - may have to stop being "mateen" just for tonight although I do not expect to see him a whole lot.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
RA - needs to pull another rabit out of that hat. Now, that ther is actual time for practice - he does not have his players. Must be frustrating
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Grizzlies are playing well for a reason. They are very solind defensively and thay play more players with moderate minutes. Should not matter tonight. You can always expect a Kings opponent to have a career night. No Swift tonight - no posters.
