Kings-Hornets PBP for Wed, Feb. 14

[VF21]

Bad pass by the Kings turns the ball over. I didn't see who did it.

NOK for two at the other end.

54-47 NOK

Paul with the steal. NOK ball.

Paul for three to finish the second half.

NOK on a 9-0 run on the last 67 seconds of the game.

End of the first half.

57-47 NOK

 

[VF21]

The half-time show doesn't feature any game highlights... go figure.

Instead they show a montage of past All-Star games. Guys like Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Dominique Wilkins, Michael Jordan and Vince Carter.

Grant and Jerry talking but being TOTALLY upstaged without realizing it by four guys sitting in the first row behind them, all wearing white Kings jerseys and drinking beer, mugging at the camera and holding thumbs up...

Oh wait. Now they are showing "highlights" - and Chris Paul strutting around like a bantam rooster.

Grant thinks Musselman gave an impassioned speech at half-time, asking the guys for one more hour of focus and then they're free. Yeah, Grant. I'm sure that's what he said.

 

[VF21]

Oh, this is nice. Musselman called for a technical before the half even starts...

Luckily - or not - for us, NOK misses.

Kings ball.

Miss; NOK board.

Starters on the court for the Kings.

Paul miss over KT, Chandler board. Paul for two.

59-47 NOK

Bibby jumper partially deflected by Brown, miss. NOK ball.

Oh goodie. Mason cuts in and gets two more.

61-47 NOK

Artest miss on the other end, NOK board.

10;16 left

 

[VF21]

Paul easily gets two more points.

63-47 NOK

Musselman calls a time out.

I must apologize. This is ALL my fault. I forgot to loudly warn the team not to drink the kool-aid... and, if appearances are any indication, they all must have been very thirsty.

This is NOT pretty.

 

[VF21]

Be back in a few. I have a phone call I have to take!

 

[kennadog]

I think its safe to say that the rest of the PBP can be summed up by saying a "whole bunch of awful plays at both ends."

EDIT: It was fun to watch the young guys.

 

[VF21]

I took the phone call, had to go run a very quick errand and by the time I got back the Kings were down by a gazillion. I honestly couldn't force myself to resume the PBP.

 

[kennadog]

Can't blame you, VF.
