First of all - I will not be able to post a game thread for the Sunday's game vs. Lakers because I have to take a "nice" drive so I can get in an area which actualy gives a Kings broadcast. Because of that - I will not have any acces to internet. It would be nice if someone can do it for me either Saturday night or Sunday morning. Can not be hard considering who we play. THANKS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next order of business - in the name of all Kings fans who will not be able to see the game on Sunday - I just want to say that

ABC SUCKS AGAIN

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With 6 to go Kings magic number is still 2 because our opponents did not feel like helping us. Does not matter because we will do it by ourselves and very soon too. I think that Kings can still win 50 but it will require some serious effort. 50 would be enough for the 5th seed. Everything after that will depend on many many things. Also let's hope that we will remain at least as healthy as we are at the moment.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can we get some consistancy please ! This team has enough talent to play better than .500. It is more than capable. Unfortunately, something always get "lost in translation". For some unexplainable reasons for periods of time Kings stop running their game. They go away from their strengths. All this has happened before. The difference is that with current talent level - the margin of error is 0. Also we had more "bad losses" this season than the usual. 50 wins would be great finish of a wierd and very unusual season
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, Sonics did not sweep us. Pretty well played game in which Kings won all 4 quarters and dominated pretty much everything. Effort was there, sense of urgency was there. Basically, Kings wanted to win that game - and that is usually when Kings win it. DFF did not injure anybody and did not damage any ARCO property.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tonight, we play Portland. Joel Przybilla's career numbers are - 19 pts, 22 reb and 8 blocks. If You don't know why I posted this numbers - You might be a brand new Kings fan - so WELCOME. If You don't know against which team Joel achieved most of them - You need to find something else to do.
Good news is that NVE will not play. Portland sucks and they will only win if we do not "show up." We need to control their guards not named Telfart and the rebounding. I wouls be shocked if we don't win this fairly easy.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mike - I am mostly concerned that Damon does not go off for 50 or something. Mike will give us what he can. Hopefull he can shoot better.
Pedja - Patterson is waiting. Pedja had some really great games in Portland. If he start aggressive - Ruben or no Ruben - Kings will win
Mobley - good game, bad game, good game , .... Obviously, it is great when he is on but he does get us out of the rythm from time to time by taking shots outside out flow. Needs to be better at sharing ball.
Skinner - will see how he does against a all NBA caliber player like Joel.
Thomas - can the quarters 2,3,4 ba as good as 1st ? Very solid otherwise.
Darius - looking somewhat better but still too many fouls in a very short period of time.
House - nice, very nice.
Evans - still very inconsistant. Great moments and horrible mental mistakes inside seconds. You have to love the effort.
Corliss - who knows what he will give us at any given night ?
Tag - nobody knows why Tag is not playing more - and I mean nobody
Martin and Daniels - could get to play again if Kings play a serioud game.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
RA - I gave up on understanding why Tag is not playing. It is just an waste of energy for me. His substitution pattern at the end of the last game made m,e wonder wheather - he is OUT OF HIS MIND? Who knows what is going on with that hamster in that head ?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Portland - no NVE is a releif. Joel and Damon "enjoy" playing us. You add another X - factor and we could be in trouble.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Go Nuggets!!! (wolves)
Go Heat!!!! (grizzlies)
Suns play Warriors
Lakers play Sonics

but those 2 games do not really matter

I can dig that.
Our magic number I believe is still 2 because Minny also won on Wed.

We need a combo of 1 win 1 Minny loss or 2 wins to clinch. I think we are far anough in the stands to hold a spot just getting technical on ya... and I may be wrong that has happened I think once before in my life :) LOL

Portland is a horrible team. If we are going with the trend of the way that we are playing then we should lose this game with another sub par performance. The thing is how can we lose to one of the worst teams in the league.

This may be a streak of 2...


GO KINGS!!!!!!!!!!

Well, ABC just sucks - that it is

Lakers on the other hand - they of course suck too ;) - but it is way deeper than that. Also I do think that there are several other members on this site that share my sentiment. I am just much more open about it

Historically, we have problems with Portland. Whether they're playing good or not, they seem to always bring their A game against us, and they give us matchup fits. No NVE helps us a ton, but hopefully the Kings come out focused on their goal, because no win is a gimme.

Yes I hope everyone has braced themselves for Joely once again tonight...Kings fans do know Joel very well....he loves the look of our frontline I guess...:shrugs:...but for those of you who are new Kings fans or perhaps never seen a Kings game where they've played Portland with Joel as their starting center...this is what it can look like on pretty much every Kings possession if they aren't careful...


Now for the game...none of the games left IMO are gimme games...we most definetly should beat this Portland team tonight regardless...and its completely inexuseable if we don't...but im rather confident that we will get the job done tonight and so will the Nuggets...If the Kings can at least play like they did in the last Portland meeting we should be fine...and lets hope that the Kings team that beat both Cleveland and Seattle handedly is the one that walks into the Rose Garden tonight...

Peja had a decent night against the Blazers in the last meeting but their was no Ruben...but like piksi said if Peja comes out of the gates aggressive looking to score it won't matter whether Ruben is there or not...

Lets all pray that Damon doesn't GO OFF the entire night tonight last time he had a great 2nd quarter if he had played like that the entire game it would have been MUCH more difficult...

I hope Darius remembers what happens last time and watches his own back when he's on the floor with Joel...that was a very scary moment...

I want that lil "x"!!!!!

GO KINGS!!!!

I am just glad that there is a Kings game tonight. Cubs are (already) killing me.
I was watching the game on WGN in HD today . They mix 5.1 surround pretty well and in the back two speakers you can hear the crowd pretty well. As they\ game progressed you could hear people cheer from go Cubs, to oh man, to I F* hate Cubs. Since surround sound is not mmainstream available, they don't censor it. By the time game was over, my wife was complaining how one guy in the crowd is driving her crazy with all the comments. :)

on my way down to the game. i'll be 14 rows up behind the kings' bench in a retro stojakovic jersey!!:D
I wanna go!!! It isn't fair...I'm only 20 min from the rose garden and i'm going to be stuck in a stupid concert for fine arts class...that makes me sad!
