Kevin is playing really out of character

 

[6th]

Kevin Martin didn't come to play tonight. He's playin around rather than playing. Theus needs to tell him that he should have come back from that injury sooner and that he's having him come off the bench for the rest of the season...

Martin just loves to rest on his laurels.

That is absolutely ridiculous. Kevin is not that kind of player...at all.

 

[chelle]

Kaman generally has a good game against us.

 

[venom_7]

Last year Bibby wouldn't have ran back on D. Just to show you Reggies influence. The team isn't exactly playing their best, and Kaman really pisses me off, but the Kings'll pull it out.

It reminds me of his play a while back, when Artest would seem to be controlling things, and Kev would quietly retreat into the corner. I don't know what's with that.

I hate when things happen in the game.. like a salmons 3 pointer and grant and jerry continue to talk about nothing and dont even acknowledge that something actually happened while they where talking about jerry's morning walks that nobody cares about.

Flipped over to ESPN for Spurs-Lakers periodically. San Antonio put a serious hammer on the Lakers in the second half and especially final quarter. Beat 'em 103-91. Kobe had 9 tunovers and never got loose all night from the Spurs swarming defense - especially Manu G. all over him.

Okay, back to my Kings on Comcast Sports Net for the final seconds of the first half at Staples .

 

[VF21]

Lucky for us, when one of our guys has an off-night we have people to step into the gap. Gotta love the production off the bench of Garcia - and Salmons looks much better - and Udrih is no slouch, either.

Well now, that just breaks my heart.........NOT!!!

This game is reminding me how much I wanted us to draft Thornton.

 

[venom_7]

I think Shareef could have really helped this team. Oh well. And there really was no room for Thornton to play just yet.

on another note.. i waas just thinking.. would you guys call this game a must win as far as playoffs go? i mean its a strecth to make the playoffs in the first place.. but we HAVE to beat the teams we should beat from here on out..

 

[venom_7]

Mikki Moore has to catch that. Man.

Not necessarily a 'must win' but it is a 'should win.' The must win games are the three remaining against Golden State and the three against Utah. I have the feeling the Rockets will take care of themselves as long as the Kings win steadily.

This thread has been sanitized for your game enjoyment.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Lets see. Kaman to the basket. Cory M. to the rack. Easy baskets galore.
Kings need to answer and get some EZ hoops, besides playing some tougher D. SALMONS!! SALMONS!!

If you believe they have a real chance to make the playoffs, then yes. Many of the remaining games would have to be viewed as "must wins." The Kings have to win a lot more games to get even the #8 seed. They also have to rely on several other teams to start falling. Odds are heavily stacked against them. The West is very strong and the Kings lost too many games early on.

 

[discocricket]

Mikki is not helping right now.

 

[venom_7]

Mikki is not helping right now.

Ditto that.

 

[fnordius]

Mikki is not helping right now.

But he's guaranteed himself the "and1" award for tonight.

 

[discocricket]

That 5 possession stretch right there was Kwame-ish. Yeesh. I think Cisco maybe was gonna come in for Mikki before he got fouled.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

im sorry, mikki moore, your a terrible. you do 10 bad things in a row, finally make a bucket, then get a technical because of something you do after every shot(yelling and1)
then you drop another pass, get fouled and miss both shots.. jwill?

 

[6th]

One on one..........gotta stop that crap.

 

[NikateeN]

Artest is ready to lose it.

 

[discocricket]

Man, talk about a tale of 2 halves. This "offense" we're running looks terrible. No ball movement. Let's see what Salmons can bring.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Artest is ready to lose it.

Extremely rare tech for Ron - at least as a King. FINALLY SALMONS!!

 

[discocricket]

That's one of the funny things about Ron, it's not like he's Sheed out there, he almost never gets T'ed up despite what his reputation would lead you to believe.

 

[chelle]

This is NOT as much fun as last night - AT ALL

 

[VF21]

Gotta admit one thing: When the Kings fall apart, they fall APART. One wheel doesn't wobble, three wheels fall off at the same time.

VERY glad to see Reggie going to the bench and bringing the reserves in.
