Kings @ Pistons Game Thread

[PurpleHaze]

Nobody's started one and hopefully will ad to it. Detroit missing starters Richard Hamilton and Rasheed Wallace tonight with injuries. AI to play shooting guard and be matched up against John Salmons. Kevin Martin to come off the bench again, but likely to play big minutes. Kevin fired up on team bus this morning heading to shoot around, "we can go 4-0 on this road trip." Spencer Hawes still inactive, but may be back for Indiana tomorrow night. This one against Pistons looks doable with all of Detroit's injuries and Salmons hopefully containing AI. Detroit 19-11 overall and winners of 5 in a row.

GO ON OFFENSE - KMART & GO ON DEFENSE - SALMONS... GO KINGS!!

A possible win, lets try and get two wins in a row! KINGS FTW!!!!!

 

[kingsnation]

I heard they're missing McDyess too, idk if that's true or not though. Hopefully.

From ESPN:

Detroit (19-11) is expected to again be without star guard Richard Hamilton for this contest due to a groin injury, while the statuses of leading rebounder Rasheed Wallace (foot) and Antonio McDyess (ribs) remain uncertain as the Pistons look to extend their season-high winning streak.

Sweet.

Woot.. maybe it will be close?

Pistons 104
Kings 91

 

[kingsnation]

95.8 to 95.0

According to ESPN, we actually average more points than DET!

Granted we give up like 11 more per game, but who's counting?

 

[kingsnation]

Well, I like that were playing aggressive, but I'd rather play smart...

 

[kf4l]

Mikki Moore has to go! no defense.

 

[kf4l]

Stuckey is a great poor man's D wade.

 

[fnordius]

Mikki Moore has to go! no defense.

Hawes is out, though. Thompson would be a big improvement, but who would spell him, Shelden or Kenny?

 

[sactownfan]

I have a feeling I'll be turning this game off soon, unless JT can get himself going i see no reason to watch. How is he not starting!?!? sure he makes mistakes but more than Mikki Moore?!?! freak'n bull crap! IM OVER NATT, MOORE, MILLER, BENO, JACKSON, DOUBY, AND WILLIAMS. these guys are straight losers at this point.

 

[kingsnation]

Actually, without Brad, this game would be even uglier. But I can't believe we are being outrebounded so badly... I mean wow.

 

[kingsnation]

I would love to know our teams +/- this year with Bobby Brown on the floor.

 

[kingsnation]

I would also love to know why Mikki Moore played the first 15 1/2 minutes before coming out of the game...

I'm sure 82games has it

 

[kingsnation]

Sure did. Thanks!

I'm on tivo delay. End of first quarter. I might just fast forward ahead to keep up with the conversation.

I know, good story, huh?

Oh nice! What a pleasant surprise. Only down by 4

 

[kingsnation]

End of 1 w/ Mikki & Beno: Down by 11

Late in 2 w/ JT & Bobby B: Down by 4

............ Any questions?

 

[Sluggah]

i'm digging these extended minutes for JT

 

[kingsnation]

Nice 2nd quarter by the Kings. It's good to see Salmons and Kevin both beginning to shoot well.

 

[G_M]

Can someone with Dish please tell me what channel the game is on?

 

[Andre87]

wow is beno even playing today? seems like he can really be invisible guys!

 

[Andre87]

Garcia, Beno and Brad all worthless today, even Micky is more valuable than those 3 combined, that says a lot...

 

[BLNINJA #81]

Whats really sad and telling in all this is the fact our starters are losing to their bench (for the most part xcept AI)

 

[king07]

Beno SUCKS!

I can't believe we paid this guy that much money

 

[Andre87]

when will Kevin start shooting at least solidly????
ohh and Brad is done.

 

[MoneyMike916]

[kingsnation]

I don't know which game you're watching but Brad is carrying this team today.
