Post-game interview with Cat...

Koz: How great was it to make a defensive play and possibly win the game?

Cat: Hey, it was great. My shots weren't falling at first and it was so great to know I had the green light to keep shooting. These guys know each other so well...

This crowd is Beautiful!!! The crowd stayed with us the whole time. It's wonderful.

I think I like him!!!

In fact, I think I like him a lot!

I should. I love cats.

There's something in the air, fellow Kings fans. And even the sissy blue uniforms couldn't stop it.

 

[bibbyweb]

Good game! Magic won too! Guess Christie must have guarded Reggie pretty well.

How did Cat look? His shooting stats weren't great, but how was he overall?

 

[Bballkingsrock]

I dont think RA admires Eddie House that much. He had a couple of bad mistakes.

 

[Andriod_KiNg]

I dont think RA admires Eddie House that much. He had a couple of bad mistakes.

LOL as soon as he took that transition 3 , RA took him out of the game quick

 

[HndsmCelt]

LOL as soon as he took that transition 3 , RA took him out of the game quick

J Will flash backs!

 

[piksi]

LAL on their way to join Suns and Spurs.

I do not think that we had a good game tonight.

We play like this on Monday - we lose.

No rebounding. Bench inefective ( Martin 0 minutes) BTW what happened to RA's "Martin and Evans will play ( Well, Evans did ).

Tag was not needed even though we were getting abused on the glass

We barely beat a team that has double overtime last night.

Webber bailed us out with some help by Pedja in the last minute.

We definitely played much worse than last 2 games.

 

[VF21]

Cat was very good! His first time on the court with this team. Shots didn't fall in the first half but he got it going in the second half. Cat already giving major props to Webber and to Bibby.

As far as Eddie goes, he hasn't been here that long either. Before people get too critical they have to remember that it takes a while to learn the Princeton offense. In addition, playing with guys who know each other as well as Pedja, Mike, Brad and Chris definitely takes a lot of practice. He's not here to start and he'll probably not see that much time at all down the line.
