Kings @ Minnesota Game Thread

[Evenstar]

ah man i really wish i had watched the game. i was waiting for my friend to come, so i listened to a tiny bit on the radio, and when they said that webber wasn't playing along with peja, i was like OH GREAT we are gonn get killed.

i come home to see the final 2 minutes, the score says 94-76 and WOOOO that made my day.

WOW just WOW. that is freaking awesome!!!!!!!!

i am *SO* proud of the heart of this team!!!!

evans is backing up mobley.... hopefully our starters get few minutes from now on... miller has been playing a lot... so has peja.... hopefully darius and barnes get more minutes.... we really should trade ostertag and daniels for a back up point, since we cant trade house yet......

Look you saw first hand tonight the results of Adelmans style when it comes to bench players. I don't know how many role players have to have career years under this guy before people figure that out.

AWESOME GAME! Great team effort!! Game ball to Brad Miller, who kept us in it it the game in the first half when nobody else's shots would fall! Mobley & Bibby had big 2nd halfs!

You know things are going good when you see Bibby doin his dance.

 

[Bballkingsrock]

Adelman was faboulas today!!

his style without bobby, webber, peja, and his number one bench player evans.... what other choices did he have? it was either going to be barnes or martin....

 

[Since93]

Go Raptors!

The fact they were prepared. Do you get it?

 

[mcsluggo]

our bench only had 5 pts how is that good? we had GREAT D! and great containment on KG is why we won the game! silent players of the game = matt barnes and darius songaila

No bench... because the whole damn bench was forced into the starting line-up

CAN'T WAIT FOR BRICKS GRADES hope all are high

Who did Bibby block and how was it? Was it a lay up block or jumpshot block?

Telemundo Quote: "Mucho credito Matt Barnes"

Very nice. Matt Barnes hustled today! All in all, the team played this game like they wanted it, and like they needed it. It was almost like watching them play in the playoffs when everything is just a little more intense. Gotta love it!

 

[AriesMar27]

we didnt have much of a choice though.... and the twolves havent been the best team this year. up until a few minutes ago, the only team that they could consistently beat was the kings....

lol

 

[Bballkingsrock]

We fianally beat them!! Who would of thought that the kings would beat them without Evans, jackson, Peja, and Webber!!!

 

[hoops4kings]

I think this is the team's biggest win this year. Beating Minny gets the monkey somewhat off of our back. They seemed to match up great against whoever we put on the floor...before today. That defense was just great to watch. Don't see it too often, but we looked really active today.

 

[kingsfannPDX]

whooooaaaaa!!!


that was a great game to watch for us kings fans! darius songaila played great. who would've thought we'd have 13 offensive rebounds! 2 of 3 on this little road trip is pretty damn good. i'm so fired up right now! for one because of the win against minnesota (short-handed at that) and 2, because we got to see some rebounding and defense!!

good good win

Bibby blocked Wally from behind when he tried to lay it up.

Oh wow, first Lebron and now Wally?

 

[ReinadelosReys]

Oh wow, first Lebron and now Wally?

Let the rest of the world beware!

FYI - the Kings end a great January by beating a nemesis. January record for the Kings was 12-4.

 

[KingKong]

Bibby blocked Wally from behind when he tried to lay it up.

I supect we will see a few more Bibby flashes in the following days.

 

[Padrino]

sweet. the kings did just what i hoped they'd do in the second half: bibby got hot, brad stayed hot, and they were infinitely more aggressive than the t-pups. we hustled our way to that win....and thats very refreshing to see, especially considering how depleted our roster is at the moment. i'm duly impressed.

 

[Webber4tHREE]

payback

 

[Webber4tHREE]

lol @ kevin garnett having only 1 foul the whole game

 

[Webber4tHREE]

Kings are starting to turn their season around?

Kings are starting to turn their season around?

It was a good win under what could have been called nearly impossible conditions. It puts the Kings in a better spot statistically than they were last year. Of the 5 top teams last year at this point in time, the Sacramento KINGS are the only team to still be in the top 5.

We lost five games in November, four in December, and now four in January. At that rate, we will end the season with a record of 61-21 record.

Just what part of the season needs turning around?????

I was wondering that as well. I think the "turning point" in the season was after we went 0-3 to start the season off. If it wasn't for that, our record would be better than last year at this point.

[iheartBrad]

i just got finished watching the game...i was out and had Tivo'd it...great win...i mean anytime you can win with no Peja or no Chris is a great win

but ive never seen so many baskets hit the front rim of the basket or rim in and out and on single game in my entire life...whoa..that wasn't all that pretty but they got it done

go kings!!

 

[KiNgMyC]
