Kings @ Pacers Game Thread

[piksi]

I don't understand why Mike played more than Beno tonight. I don't understand why Hawes didn't play. I don't understand how we won the game and why it was close at the end. I am clueless

 

[Glenn]

damn...still not over!

Shouldn't have to play the full 48 minutes, right?

 

[creAtivetfh]

well brad will get a cheap double double

 

[venom_7]

lol Murphy just gave Brad a double double.

 

[VF21]

Whew. That was not boring.

 

[Glenn]

Any road win is a great win.

if they keep doing this to me i'm going to have a heart attack

 

[fnordius]

Neither is going to the dentist.

One of those oft quoted truisms that we just proved conclusively to be a load of hooey. What a mess.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Before it started I said if we could go 2-1 on this road trip it would be "smashing." Well I say it loudly - smashing!

It's nice when we have PF production eh? If we had a PF that could have that type of production every game we would win a whole mess of contests.

I don't have a clue what you mean. 2 out of 3 on the road is good. Doesn't have to be aesthetically pleasing if that's your point.

People are going to rip the Kings sloppy performance tonight. However, winning the back side of a back to back on the road after upsetting one of the best teams in the league the night before is actually fairly impressive no matter how ugly the win IMHO.

We had a huge match-up advantage which made Moore and Miller look like the ultimate twin towers against the Pacers undersized front line which was sorely missing Jermaine O'neal.

Yeah... when the opponent's PF is taking the night off, it's not quite the same.

I'm talking production not match ups. If we had that type of production from our PF nightly we would be a lot tougher to beat.

I meant production, too. JO may be the shadow of his former self, but he can still defend a bit when he tries. I don't think Mikki would have gone 22pts-11reb on 75% shooting against any real defense. If we had a PF who could do that predictably, it would be a whole different team. Ditto for a PG who could get 7 assists more than a couple of times a season.
