Yup, and the last 1 minute turned into 20 minutes in real life...........
Don't worry, my friend. It's not just you. I think we've grown out of agonizing over every regular season loss for a couple of reasons.
1. We don't see anywhere near as many regular season losses as we did 10 years ago.
2. We KNOW the team is capable of good things. We also know that a loss to Portland in the fourth game in five nights, with Pedja, Webber and Cat playing their first games back, is in NO WAY indicative of how they're capable of playing.
3. We already had two wins that could very well have been losses and might have been with any othe team.
4. WE LOVE THIS TEAM!

I just LOVE it when that happens, shows no one is giving up. Especially on a night where they were never ahead and could not get any significant scoring from two starters. The word HEART comes back into play again tonight, just unsuccessful.

That is complete utter and total crap!!!
If you look at the box score, the Kings outscored the Blazers in the second, third and fourth quarters.
This team has HEART. They're also human. They're allowed to lose once in a while.

I thought the Kings played with a lot of heart. They didn't start out well, but came back into the game and made it A GAME. It's not like they just laid flat, gave up, and made the bench played the whole 2nd half (garbage mins). The players really gave their effort to win this game.
HEART + DETERMANTION = THE SACRARAMENTO KINGS

Actually, despite the slow start (rusty), they continued taking shots and causing TO's on defensive end and grabbing boards (39 to Portland's 40, 21 of them offensive!). If either Peja or Cuttino had come thru with even a nominal amount of shots made (they were 5-20), then we win. But neither gave up, thus the late 3's in the final seconds.
EDIT: Okay, just saw your post taking back your statement Bballkingsrock.
I will not take mine back though (little lessons in life stink, huh?) Kudos.

Don't fold like a cheap suit, support your posistion, WHY did you feel that? Because the starters who had missed games came back rusty and you didn't think they would? Because you thought we would waltz into a place we have had very little success over the years, even with a dominating team, working everyone back and get the easy win? I am curious about your reasoning
Hey, I'm guessing it was sheer disappointment in the loss, they struggled back last night...why not tonight? I knew they would have trouble with Portland, since I know the history (like Kingsgurl and VF), so that cut into my ability to be too disappointed. Plus, we (Kingsgurl, VF and myself) very likely have some years on ya, kiddo! (Experience = knowledge)...
Woo hoo, best news I've heard all day: This is the last 4 games in 5 nights for the year!...(well I think that's what I've heard).
Tonight was a stange night. 3 players coming back, the team a little out of sync, BUT they only get outrebounded by 1, something like 30 assists to 10 (?) turnovers, missed only less than a handful of FT's, Mike Bibby going crazy and Webber with a triple double yet, they lose is a game in which they never led. I'll live with it. With those 3 pieces coming back and stuggling as much as they did from the field and still having a chance to win, its an 82 game season and 82 reasons not to get worked up win, lose or draw.

just got back from the game . what a weak effort tonight. absolutely no defense. i thought with everyone back that it would be closer. but when you play no d and just rely on scoring then you have to make shots. bibby had a great offensive night but it would be nice for him to play some defense once in awhile. peja's shot wasn't there and mobley and webber were rusty as well. i don't understand why it's so tough to beat the blazers. damon stoudamire killed us tonight. a blazer fan told me, "don't count on the 'queens' winning the title this year" my response was, "yeah, the jailblazers are going real far."
well, we can't win 'em all
go kings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bummer. I go to a game and no win, but that heart thing showed up again.
Webber had the worst triple double of all-time (if there is such a thing)
Bibby was a great offensive weapon, but DS destroyed him. Barnes was impressive.
We outplayed them the last three quarters. Too bad we came out rusty.
Just my observations.
