Kings @ New Orleans Game Thread 5p.m. PST 12/8

[PurpleHaze]

Nocioni getting another dui tonight?

Only if they were staying overnight in New Orleans. Instead they will be sleeping in sleepy San Antonio.

 

[Arkitect]

While the loss sucks, it was good to see Tyreke carrying the team at the end.

 

[miltonap]

noc fkn sucks

 

[chasen4r1]

Well that was disappointing

 

[Sac.Kings]

We are a disgrace as a professional basketball team when it comes to free throws. absolutely pathetic. My little sister could shoot better than 50%

 

[tradepeja]

At least we didn't have to watch the Hornets wake up and blow us out in OT.

 

[NewArena]

What did NOC ever do in this ***** Game anyway? **** this team!

I dont wanna hear any moral victory nonsense and it was a 'good game' and all that BS because it wasn't.

 

[king07]

noicioni had a chance to redeem himself after forcing so many shots and being a ball hog....we need to get rid of him.

 

[Merdiesel]

If Nocioni doesn't act like a 3rd grader on that second FT Donte either gets the ball or gets fouled. BS.

 

[Andre87]

Nocioni sucked but Reke should have finished that lay-up

 

[Nikefutbolero]

This team doesn't lose because they lack talent, but because they make stupid mistakes. And it's not even the rookies all the time but the dudes who've been playing a while..

LoL - calm down kid. Go get a beer or something.

I don't care what anyone says. Our Kings are learning from every single one of these games. If JT hadn't fouled out... if we could hit our stupid freebies from the stripe... there are lots of reasons to be hopeful about this team. They are a YOUNG team. They've exceeded expectations so much that some people are expecting it on a nightly basis.

I was on the edge of my seat for almost the entire game. I can't remember that happening at all last season. Vent and rage all you like. I'm content to wait for them to learn and improve ... and they're doing both.

The reasons we lost were reasons we should've learned a long time ago. Their just isn't an excuse for %50 from the line.... or fouling out because of the dumbest fouls i've ever seen.

 

[NewArena]

And thats better how? This is worse if you ask me. Im done with this stupid team until tomorrow.

 

[kingzallday]

Wow....damn it Noc you gotta make those...Reke with 9 straight points at the end. If thats not taking over then I dont know what is.

 

[Nighthawk1]

Can't argue with that - I personally think it's time to aggressively trade Noci to a team that needs a great bench player (because that is what he is, a bench player on a Playoff Contender which we aren't). Some people didn't even get minutes tonight and that is the worst part of it.

 

[NewArena]

LoL - calm down kid. Go get a beer or something.

Beer isn't nearly Strong enough. I dont know how you arent pissed off right now.

 

[tradepeja]

Nocioni sucked but Reke should have finished that lay-up

This. It was the easiest shot out of the 4 shots he made in that sequence of the 4th.

 

[Kings Faithful]

Truth it we should have won all of our last 3 games..... but didn't because we shoot like elementary school kids from the line.

 

[Nikefutbolero]

I do NOT want to see Spencer play any amount of significant minutes after this season. Dude is HORRIBLE. Why did we trade for Nocioni? Big *** contract and he loses games for us. A streak shooter who doesn't go on a streak?

 

[TIG Kings]

Nocioni grabbed that off rbd out of Evans missing layup...don`t be so hard on him. Evans also missed both of his FT earlier in the game!

 

[Larry89]

Some Notes - Kings getting closer to winning close games

Freethrows - bad need practice 9/19
Turnovers - came in critical times
Clutch - We are not
Offense - Too stagnant with Sergio running point

 

[Nighthawk1]

Bingo

 

[Sac.Kings]

Moral victories only go so far, and they apply more when you aren't close at the end. There were a handful of road games we could have won, but we choked (again). Im pissed, to keep losing like this cannot be a moral victory for the team. it can only drag you down, because you were RIGHT THERE AGAIN!!!

 

[Kings Faithful]

Wow....damn it Noc you gotta make those...Reke with 9 straight points at the end. If thats not taking over then I dont know what is.

It's not taking over unless we win in my mind. Wade took over... Tyreke tried but couldn't finish. I don't blame him though because like you said he scored 9 straight points. Its everyone elses fault for not stepping it up, at least from the FT line.

 

[AleksandarN]

Nocioni sucked but Reke should have finished that lay-up

are you serious?

 

[spudfan]

Pretty good game for us. If Tyreke remembers how he can control the game when he wants to it will help us tremendously. He can carry this over to any quarter of a game, not just when its crunch time.

 

[DeMoN]

We're playing good enough to win games, it's freethrows that are losing it.

 

[Nikefutbolero]

The reasons we lost were reasons we should've learned a long time ago. Their just isn't an excuse for %50 from the line.... or fouling out because of the dumbest fouls i've ever seen.

pretty much..this is why I'm mad right now..VF is just being a homer with blinders on who needs to quit being naive.

It could be like that King of the Hill episode.
