Kings @ Lakers Game Thread

[VF21]

I was just joking, apparently a bad attempt

I'm sorry. I shouldn't be allowed to post right now. I'm a silly sentimental old lady who cares way too much about a game and the young men who play it. And I absolutely hate and abhor what's happened this year. I can take losing; I've seen a lot of losing. But I can't take watching some sycophant prattle on incessantly about how good the opposing players are before, during and after another abysmal showing by the team I pretty much live for. Musselman is no more in control of that team than I am in control of the asteroids between Mars and Jupiter. In fact, I probably could exert more control over those celestial bodies than Musselman can over the guys wearing the uniforms of the Kings...

Hrm... Apparently I'm even more bitter than I thought.

Please accept my apologies for the rant...

Think of the fun you can have watching Jason Terry embarass Jason Hart.

I will be rooting for the Clippers or Warriors - which ever makes it. Hart or no Hart - I will never have fun watching mavs win.

You sure ?

I am not sure how I will feel in the beginning of May without Kings playing in the POs.

And you'd rather be watching THIS bunch of square pegs that much longer? Oh well, thats something we'll never be doing: Watching Eric Musselman coach the Kings in the month of May.

 

[Circa_1985_Fan]

I'll be watching...casually...but luckily, I have the NFL draft and NHL playoffs coming up in a few weeks to keep me anxious during my lack of Kings basketball...isnt the same, I know, but hey, at least there's hope for TWO of my teams this year.

Just imagine all the fun we would have here

But - if all that would give me a chance to see ARCO erupting - would be a fair trade off. If You can suffer trough 82 games - You can do 4 more

yeah...but already knowing the inevitable that we WONT be in the p.o., makes me want a speedy ending to the rest of this nausiating season known as 'Muss's Follies'.

I thought that - that was clear in December

 

[Kingster]

Is it really going to have to come down to being "mathematically eliminated" from the playoffs before Muss plays the youth? This is becoming silly. There must be some kind of Greek myth that allegories Muss this season. I need some kind greater understanding for my own solace. Can someone help me?

You'll have to look into Kafka novels in order to get a greater understanding of the current situation. Pretty soon, the only criterion for who plays will be age, but it won't be the youngest players that play for 40+ minutes, it will be the oldest. Potapenko should get considerable time, along with Corliss, SAR and Brad. Bibby is the oldest point guard, so he will also play. Martin will be benched; he's far too young.

Don't You think that people are already depressed enough.

 

[BMiller52]

This game was disgusting.

Why is Muss such a clown! He is the april fool... no wait he's a year-round fool. He is a horrible coach though.

We got killed in the paint like expected...

Play the young guns!!!!!!

 

[Vlade4GM]

Well, we'll be making an appearance in the lottery. That's in May

What should we bring to the lottery for good luck?

 

[SacKings384]

Maybe this whole season has been like the greatest April Fools joke in history, and tomorrow the Maloofs will yell APRIL FOOLS! and we'll find out that Muss is fired, Greg Popovic is becoming our head coch, KG has agreed to come to the Kings in exchange for Kenny Thomas, Brad Miller, and Vitaly Potapenko, and we're getting the number one lottery pick.

 

[Mozart]

Sisyphean challenge for us fans...

...to watch the rest of the games this suck-season, not to mention the players who face even more of a Sisyphean challenge to play the rest of the games this season while knowing that this season has been a waste with Muss at the helm.


Today Sisyphus's rock is the basketball pushed by our Kings.

 

[gunks]

Doesnt have to be a Sisyphus rock if its the youth out there.

Even losses would result in experience, and give us a chance to see if Price or Williams are worth keeping as both their contracts are up after this season (IMHO they are both keepers).

Honestly, at this point I dont know what is going on with the vets getting so many minutes, unless Petrie is planning on trading the lot of them this offseason and is trying to showcase...Which would almost make giving Bibby, SAR, Miller, and Artest 30+ minutes a game worth it.

I'd be willing to bet this is the case.

I don't think they are doing to cause too much good, though.

 

[Kingster]

Who was the hero who was doomed to push a rock uphill all during the day only to have his liver torn out and eaten? And it happened every single day...

That might not fit but it's what I immediately thought of...

As others have said, Prometheus is the fellow that had his liver torn out every day, but the key to understanding Prometheus is that he was immortal. He would live forever, each and every day of eternity having his liver eaten by the eagle.

 

[Kingster]

And, in a further prediction of what will be, I'm going to boldly predict the Kings will end up with the #6 pick in the 2007 draft.

One can only hope....

Oh I remembered that part...

Yeah, at this point if we are trying to trade them the less other teams get to see of their play, the better.
