BEAT LA !!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well so much for sinking the Lake Show. At least we have a chance to beat a different LA team tonight. Kings have to realize that playing 4 1/2 quarters of decent basketball will not get it done.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I was at the game last night, and the lady friend I brought with me is in love with Kobe, despite the fact that I pretty much despise everything about him (even his talent.) She kept on plotting stupid ways of getting to meet him. And then she talked about ways to get him to marry her. (I then said I could say Kobe did something to me and maybe this time he wouldn't buy off his wife, thus prompting a divorce and leaving him single for her.) That didn't go over well. I kept pointing at the screen when the video came on of Slamson with his attractive lady acting all happy until she takes off her sweater and reveals a Kobe jersey, prompting Slamson to immediately pick her up and put her outside of his house. I suppose thats how deep this rivalry is for me that I wont date a Lakers fan.

It isn't just the basketball aspect. Its a regional rivalry as well. Its the whole nor-cal/so-cal thing as well. In fact, the basketball rivalry wasn't taken seriously until that playoff series. But it still exists today (one-sided or not) regardless of what some want to say. I would still say there is a rivalry seeing as how Arco was about a 3rd lakers fans last night.

Tragic inevitability. Its when things are going so well, you just know something terrible is going to happen. I had this feeling all night last night, i'm sure others did as well. Its that cliche 'too good to last.' I knew and understood we were going to lose as soon as we got that 11 point lead. It was just a matter of how and how painful it was going to be.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have already harped on the Refs enough, not calling the game fairly. Lakers 40 fta's, Kings 17. And it isn't to say the Kings weren't being aggressive, they were (with the exception of the last 4 or so minutes.) The Lakers just weren't fouling (with the exception of the last 4 minutes or so.) The reality is the game plan went to hell the last 4 minutes and it became the Artest experience. The whole game, we were successful in running the offense through Brad with the occasional ISO for John or Ron. Also John was doing a stellar job on Kobe. That last 4 minutes, it was pound it into Ron. I'd be somewhat alright with that if he drove to the rim at all, but he just took fade away jumpers over the 6' 10" Lamar Odom. And then he decided that he was the guy to stop Kobe, and he did, to the tune of 16 ft attempts for Mamba. So this one is partly on Reggie, partly on the refs (small part), partly on Ron, and mostly on this idea of defense in the 4th quarter that they seem to have.

Luke Walton has the stupidest looking tattoo ever on his shoulder. Fitting that he's the stupidest looking player on the stupidest looking team. And his dad leaves me stupid looking.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kings have a chance for revenge on Sunday. Something tells me that Staples won't be full of Kings fans.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beno and Kevin both played really well. Salmons finally returned from the river. Artest was himself. Reggie should be slapped for giving Cisco 9 minutes and AJ 12. That is an entire quarter for AJ. Give Cisco 7 of those minutes and Douby the other 5. STOP PLAYING ANTHONY JOHNSON! He doesn't do anything.

AWARD TIME

TDM award went to Sasha who even Laker fans seem to hate. Has Derek Fisher ever had a bad game against us?

LW-VC award goes to Kings season ticket holders. Wtf?

A.J. gets the SAR & Methuselah award because I hate him.

WTF moment of the game - last 4 minutes
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Clips are next, and the Kings should try to take out all their frustration on them.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Beno - play more
Ron - do what you do best, not what you want to do
Brad - solid. but Kaman is going to eat you.
Mikki - play less
Kevin - yay

Salmons - yay
Hawes - sometimes you make me depressed
Cisco - slap Reggie

rest - mateen

Theus - If AJ plays more than 4 minutes I'm forming a petition that states that we actually traded Bibby for a turkey sandwhich and Shelden Williams.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Clips are up. Kaman should be a monstrosity. Maggette will be held in check by Ron and John. Cisco should be back. Kevin should shoot 17 shots or more again. Cat Mobley everybody.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

pssst: Srry VF21 I was at school and I couldn't do this until now.

I think you mean 3 1/2 quarters. ;)

I thought these parts were particularly inspired. :D

Great job!

What does "TDM" and "LW-VC" mean again?

Regarding the comments of the rivalry, the thing that just stinks is that it seems like Laker fans can have it both ways. They can say there's no rivalry, because we never beat them, but they can run us ragged at the game, on the radio, in the blogs, etc. as if there is a rivalry.

Last but not least, that video with Slamson was great!!!:D

Actually, the Machine (Vuja-suck) is slowly starting to get some love in Los Angeles. He's slowly becoming a consistent threat off the bench for them. But I feel like I'm speaking heresay.

Back to the game, Tim Thomas is doubtful for tonight's game. But so is Kevin Martin. Well, we'll get to be seeing more of the jumpshooting Ron tonight since Maggette matches up better to Artest and won't let him get into his bullying ways.

AJ, can you just retire? Unlike Corliss, when you came back, no one knew you were once here. And you don't contribute like he did. I still can't believe our best PF this season just retired last season.
 
I think we might be surprised. Garcia and Salmons have both shown they can shine starting; we just need to see them light up the inside of Staples. And it's not like the Clippers have practiced planning on playing both of them extended minutes.
 
I just heard that RonRon walked into the Clippers locker room. It was reported on the Clippers broadcast.

???????

This is just way too bizarre.
 
Okay, question: Aren't the locker rooms for the visiting team quite a distance from the home team in Staples? How could Artest accidentally walk into the wrong one? That just boggles my mind.

it is Ron - it doesn't have to make sense
 
Artest is out because he told the coaches before the game he has a sore foot.
