Jazz @ Kings Game Thread

[AriesMar27]

Or were Kevin Martin and Price the ones that kept us in the game during the 3rd quarter. Then all of a sudden Ron Artest tries to take over a game for the umph time and guess what? We lost. I had a horrible feeling that we were going to lose once he tried to take over. For all of his great defensive capabilities he is not and never will be a Kobe Bryant. Why did mussleman not run some picks for Martin or Price. I would have rather seen one of them try to take over than Artest.
Also, what happenend to our defense? I didn't figure that we were going to hold them to 37 points again in the second half, but to give up so many east shots. Even Artest's man got easy buckets. It seems that Rahim and Thomas can't stop anyone inside that's a decent player. Watching that game unravel last night so dissapointed me because it reminded me of the old kings not being able to win a game win we were up +20 points.

you are right... it was artest's horrible offense and a couple of turnover that killed it for us... garcia or salmons should have been in the game instead of artest...

horrible loss last night. made me sick. i think we're 25 points in the paint away from being a good team and maybe a coach that will tell artest to stop shooting!!

I still have hope for this team and won't say we are a lotto team yet We aren't healthy and it's our top 3 players that are injured. I don't know of ANY team that could cope with that and remain a contender.

I am still holding some hope but it brings me back to last year where I really have no faith in this team winning games before the jump ball.

I also think it's time for Ron and Mike to take it easy for a week or two. Let guys like Ronnie Price, John Salmons, Mo Taylor, and Francisco get some games under their belts. It can only make this team stronger as a whole. I say it's worth it even if we take a few lumps along the way.

So has Petrie released any statements on how happy he is with our frontline lately?

What was it, 72 points in the paint for the Jazz?

This team needs a 5 or two.

You know this is getting ridiculous! Year after year all we do is sign/draft guards. When the hell are we going to get some help in the paint? Corliss at the 5...can you really be serious?!
