Kings @ Jazz Game Thread

I think I'll go with the freak incidence thing. What happened tonight was unusual to say the least. I think Ostertag is better on the court than sitting on a bench! What do you guys think?

He was probably sending a message to Rick Adelman.

ostertag was great. 6 pts, 10 rebs, 3 blks in 20 mins!

I blame the overinflated Jazz balls

Same.

19-27. What does the team's record need to be for fans to be frustrated?

Well, I was frustrated. Then we got one of the top 10 players in the league, and we've played a total of 4 games with him.

I'm in SD (San Diego) too by the way. We should hang out / watch some games. Do you have NBA LP?

This has been going on since we disposed Webber and is getting worse. Everything that has been great with exception of Bibby is gone - replaced.
The replacements might not be bad or might even be better in some cases but it is the mix, the chemistry that we lack.

Small things like Vlade's joking around on the bench or his back door passes. Webber's "huddle" and the 2 man game, DC's bullet passes and, Pedja's threes, Bobby's energy. You just don't replace that.

Right now You put those 6 guys out. I mean right this moment and they wouldn't go 0/20 against any team - ever. Not in a million years because Vlade and webber would at least create 1 easy shot. At least one.

You just don't replace the way we have been doing

Sums it up well.

We must win at least 3 of these next 4 games. All four would be great, but I'm not quite expecting that.

Memphis and Phoenix are going to be tough, but considering how good our team is so will Utah and Chicago. 2-2 if we are lucky.

Just like we gave that other team a chance. We should give this one a chance too. Maybe the moves aren't done but I think we are headed in the right direction. Artest is a warrior. The guy was begging to come back in. You have to respect that.

Lets just move on already. Please.

this has nothing to do with Artest. This is much much deeper issue. So far Ron has done well in all aspects. However, he can only be a part of the soultion and not a whole solution but then again time will tell

I respect Ron, he is obviously the most complete player on this team, but I think we have too much wrong with this team even with him. I told you the same at the start of the season, you said I was wrong, give them a chance, give them time to gel. I said I hope you are right... I'm not going to sit and say I hope you are right anymore, I've moved on from that. This team is constructed like a cheap house of cards and it will come crashing down, if it hasn't already. Artest should help, we have hopes, but we have no evidence yet. All we have is 1-3 since he got here and the team doing the exact same things it has done for almost a year now. They can't finish games, they can't string any kind of wins together, it's one step foward two steps back, until I see actual proof they are turning it around(WINS) and that the guys on this team are winners instead of losers, I will not hold my breath.

 

[Kings113]

It's chemistry (Bonzi just came back) and bench play. Each game and a move will help it, wins or losses.

 

[KingsRNumba1]

this team just doesn't know how to win

Teams are just packing it in against the Kings... Begging the Kings to shoot. Who the hell woulda thought?
