Hawes again!!

 

[rainmaker]

tone of NO announcers has completely changed, imagine that

 

[Sluggah]

my apologies if this has already been addressed, but...why is casspi not playing?

 

[NewArena]

I think yer right. Question is.. who has 2 and who has 1?

Hmmm...thats a tough one.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Beno great bullet pass to Hawes for deuce and then Beno scores on next possession as KINGS TAKE LEAD!

 

[kingzallday]

Let's see what Reke what can do with this last shot.

What are they saying?

 

[kingzallday]

Wtf Sergio?

Edit: n/m Udoka lost it.

 

[VF21]

injured for the night with back spasms.

Not really injured. He suited up and went through warm-ups, according to Grant, but then didn't come out for the game because of back spasms. If you say "injured," people assume something happened during the game that caused a specific problem.

 

[hardware_failure]

Wtf Sergio?

I think that was udoka for not handling the pass.. :-/

 

[NewArena]

It will be interesting to see if we can maintain our play. Before the game i thought it was a must for Hawes and JT to at least play close to West and Okafor, and so far they have done that.

We already know our backcourt will show up every night but Our frontcourt is so unpredictable. It is imperative that we come out with a sense of urgency in the second half...especially being on the road.

 

[swisshh]

I was gonna call out Sergio for another botched play, but Ime just dropped a pass right in his hands. Should have been a layup.

 

[deekay2o9]

Actually what flashed before my eyes and came very close to making me physically ill was an image of a certain night in Dallas...

Nooo, horrible memories rushing back to my head!

 

[TIG Kings]

only 5 turnovers on 13 as-something new on the Kings! Very good so far!

 

[Jechtsphere]

lol at box score

total reversal.

first quarter 29-19
second 19-29

yea i just edited my post dude
Kinda hard to see the game when the quality is horrible

 

[rainmaker]

What are they saying?

They were acting like defending nba champions during the first quarter. Really, nothing nice to say. Barely mentioned the fact Tyreke was out of the game. As soon as we got it going, they started acting like we are actually a worthy opponent. Funny thing is, NO is 8-11.

 

[OptimusRhyme]

nice half for hawes,udoka and reke.

i love how westphal plays the matchups, he like a smart don nelson.

 

[VF21]

LOL at Yahoo. Check the story in the News Links forum...

Not only did they get it wrong, they weren't even close to what the possible injury was. AP reported he hurt his right leg and limped into the locker room. Gotta wonder what game they were watching...and how long before they retract that report.

 

[PurpleHaze]

48-48 at the half. Quick glance at box score and virtually every category is even. Maybe to be expected with both teams having similar records. This game is just sitting there for Kings to steal on the road.

GO KINGS!

 

[rainmaker]

Time to go purchase a Tyreke jersey.

I shouldn't have said it, but anyone who didn't see that image flash before their eyes, even if they don't want to admit it, most likely wasn't a Kings fan then. It's one of those things you will never, ever forget.

 

[kingzallday]

Time to go purchase a Tyreke jersey.

Same here

Beno Udrih has been such a big surprise for me this year.

Tyreke has been good too, but if there was a "consistent player of the year award" Beno would be in the lead. Has he had a bad game this year?

GO KINGS!

Except the Blocks, and Emaka seems to have really good games everytime he plays us. Interior DE-FENSE.

He had one bad game as I recall and it noticeably threw off the team. I was little surprised he seemed to play less than he was effective last game. Westphal hasn't yet deciphered how to get the most out of Beno and still use Sergio.

I agree-he is very productive and his shot selection is very good!

Tied at halftime and hawes is playing well. It's too bad that I'm stuck watching my little cousin learn how to play basketball instead of watching the game. Oh well...

Go kings, let's win this one.

 

[Arkitect]

It seems like either JT and Hawes have a good game or Donte has a good game. They take turns.
