spencer dunked it wooooooooooow

 

[annihilator_33]

we can't even stop flip murray

 

[LWP777]

We looked like a bad AAU team out there.

 

[Gabriel]

This team has changed. Not only because they're losing but just the way that they play in general. Earlier in the ear we were seing tough-nosed defense, heart, energy, and hustle. That didn't always win ball games but it did enough to keep fans happy. Hopefully this is just what it takes to get Kevin Martin back in the groove. Go Kings!

How many dunks do they have? Really. It might be some kind of a record.

 

[IsraelKing]

bad d-fenence

 

[LWP777]

never said thats the reason we are losing. i said it is clear Bavetta has complete control over this game. There will NOT be a blowout!! be thankful

Do you want to bet on this?

 

[Ed2009]

Wow what a bad D.

 

[annihilator_33]

maybe we're in for a chicagoesque comeback

I know. So demoralizing. They look exactly like they looked last year with Kenny F'ing Natt as the coach.

 

[Larry89]

if this team has any heart and and pride then they will make a comeback in the 2nd half like the team we saw earlier this season..

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Here's what is working: Hawes dunking.
Here's what is not working: Everything else.

Weird to say that.

 

[Asf]

11 TO's so far

 

[annihilator_33]

time to go play some call of duty before the 2nd half

 

[vistacruza_kings]

Bavetta was not linked to gambling. Tim Donaghy, a convicted felon, said that Bavetta was notorious for keeping games close. I haven't seen anything out of the ordinary with Bavetta this game. I don't think even a crew of Grant Napear, Jerry Reynolds, and VF21 could help us this game.

Bavetta has also been known to help out his friends (coachs, GM's, players) like Larry Brown to be liked and also to secure better referee ratings.

Im really only paying attention to evans, the rest of the team just looks like it dosent care.

We need a post player, we should trade martin for jefferson.

Right.

I stand corrected.

 

[vistacruza_kings]

sure whats the spread?

 

[LWP777]

sure whats the spread?

The Kings will lose by 14 or more points.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

The trading deadline couldnt come fast enough. We need to cut the fat off this team.

I'll also settle for Garcia to return. Maybe he can give this team some life.

 

[kings4lyfe32]

I'm at the game. Wallace is bringing the house down. I never seen a kings/bobcats game in charlotte with the crowd more hype. Its embarassing here with my martin jersey on

 

[Emma]

2 important contributors to our defense have apparently slammed into the rookie wall and Donte doesn't seem to have adjusted well to Martin's return.

JT and Hawes are afraid to get beat up.

All that = bad D

 

[rainmaker]

this team was winning earlier this year by outworking and out hustling opposing teams. now everyone except tyreke, donte, and brockman only seem concerned with how they fit on offense instead of trying to make an impact on the game by playing defense.

 

[Merdiesel]

3 point shots
Sac 3-15
CHA 2-7

Turnovers
SAC 11
CHA 5


Pathetic.
Sacramento doesn't deserve **** when they play like this.

 

[Jechtsphere]

We've regressed to that 17 win team where we get crushed every game by everyone.

One thing I've been impressed with be Tyreke is in recent games despite the teams struggles he's looked more like a true PG than he has all season, this game too has made some nice passes, drive and kicks...earlier he'd just drive and put it up himself.

Shame it seems a lot of the time the rest of the guys miss those easy shots he gives them

Or, we just suck ***, like every analyst predicted, and got a marginal edge thanks to Evans surprising ability.

 

[vistacruza_kings]

I wish i knew you, that would be easy money. no joke

 

[Tetsujin]

Omri looks like he forgot how to play defense out there. Who'd have though that K-Mart actually be playing better D than him today?

Beno has rounded his way back into 2008 form in grand fashion. It's been looking like he's been passing to the other teams sometimes.

Who'd have thought that Nocioni would actually be the (2nd) best player off our bench today?

 

[bajaden]

Going well so far, don't you think? All continunity this team had is gone at the moment. By the way, Martin's defense is absolutely horrible this game. But then he fits right in with most of the others. At least they're consistant.
