Kings @ Lakers Game Thread 1/1, 7:30 p.m. PST

I don't want to jinx us or anything, but if we blow this.. I don't even know. Just don't do it.

Its only 15, against the Lakers, in Staples. They are probably going to come out unhappy. If we DON'T blow this it will be an accomplishment. In fact I am not even sure blow should be the term. We've got a real chance, but if you had to literally bet your life on on the team or the other winning, would you bet on the world champs at home or the rookie team without its two best players on the road, even spotted a 15pt lead?

I've reached a point where I'm starting to cringe when Nocioni walks onto the floor. I just don't think we need this dude anymore..

Co-sign

Warriors were up big in the 1st half last game and couldn't withstand the Lakers late game run.

 

[6th]

Just enjoy the game - don't look at the score or the clock. Enjoy the game and you won't be disappointed regardless of the outcome

I concur!! Best fan advice you could ever give, piksi. That's why I enjoy watching. Win or lose, I just enjoy watching these young players.

 

[SCKingsfan]

At half, Spencer is outplaying Kobe .

Props where props are due

 

[Merdiesel]

Only 5 fouls called on the Lakers in the entire 1st half. Big surprise.

 

[CaAllDay]

we gotta have a big lead @ the end of the game to win this one, if its close late the queen will live @ the line

 

[Andriod_KiNg]

wow who seen that commercial

it ended with "its time to believe again"

it game me chills

 

[Merdiesel]

Nocioni needs to step his game up big time this half.

And yet, hope springs eternal. And if our young guns do walk out of Staples with the W, I'll be ecstatic for them. Talk about giving them a boost of confidence.

 

[Larry89]

Lets see how mentally tough the Kings are

 

[wazzups]

Its time for Casspi to show why he is one of the best rookies taken in the draft tonight. They keep playing him dirty with the physical stuff but he keeps coming at them!!!!

 

[Fear the Putin]

I have a bad feeling the refs will start calling ridiculous bull**** on the kings in the second half

 

[wazzups]

The Kings can do this.....even with the guys out there tonight!!!!

 

[Larry89]

kobe freethrows in 3rd quater prediction - 9

 

[Luv4Kings]

Even if we end up losing this game, the 1st half is already a lot to be proud of. Coming out and playing this way without our 2 best players shows these guys have a lot of heart. They just may need more than heart to win.

 

[Larry89]

uh did that asst coach just say kings have more assists can field goals

 

[Merdiesel]

Pao Gasol might be the ugliest mother****** in all of sports. I can't even look at him, its like staring into the sun.

Only 9?

 

[wazzups]

The officials are a given......the Kings are the unknown tonight

 

[Luv4Kings]

uh did that asst coach just say kings have more assists can field goals

I think that would be impossible.

 

[VF21]

Pao Gasol might be the ugliest ...

He's not even the ugliest guy in the NBA. I'd post the picture of Swift but I have nightmares every time I do, and he's just one example.

I couldn't have said it any better myself. Haha, thanks for the laugh

 

[VF21]

Oh, I see. Gasol gets to tell the official what to watch for and call. Nice. I wonder if we ever thought of doing that???

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Well, to define "blow" I mean as long as we don't collapse I'll be ok with the results. If we continue to play hard and the lakers out-talent us then fine. I just don't want to see the officials take the game away from us or see us turn into last years Kings.

popeye jones?

 

[Luv4Kings]

Yep, Kobe starts making 3s.

 

[chasen4r1]

ugh.. Kobe pisses me off

 

[CaAllDay]

[Luv4Kings]

Obvious foul on Kobe. And he's screaming about it. Of course.
