Kings-Rockets discussion for April 9

[VF21]

Hello?


Hello????


Anybody out there???

 

[Lupin]

Just nod if you can hear me... is their anybody home?

 

[KF8]

so would i get tomatoes thrown at me if i wanted the Kings to lose?

 

[VF21]

The thing is you don't have to openly state you want them to lose. You can root for them knowing full well there's very little chance of them winning. If they do win it will be because they're pissed about what happened in the Lakers game and draw deep down for a gutsy performance. If that happens, more power to them.

We win and we drop our second first round pick a spot or two, we lose we help solidify the first first rounder .. win win I suppose.

 

[BMiller52]

I don't care if they win or lose tonight because I like Rick and Ron so I'm hoping Houston does well. I just want to see a better performance from our guys tonight. If Donte never shot a 3 pointer again, it'd be too soon.

 

[KF8]

I hope our young bigs continue to do well. Hawes vs Yao would be an interesting match-up to watch.

 

[Lupin]

As long as we lose to the Clips, I'm fine. The Wizards have Arenas back so... well... we'll see how they do.

Houston's pick will go from 24 to 23 if we win, I think.


Like, a poster above said. It's win win either way.

 

[Shiba]

K-Mart is game time decision. Probably we'll be defeated, but

GO KINGS.

 

[Spike]

To pick a nit, it's not really a win-win. A better shot at the #1 pick is of greater importance than bumping up a low 1st rounder no matter how you slice it. That being said, even a win here would have some sort of net positive.

 

[Lupin]

Yeah, that makes sense. Although, it's possible to win and be last at the end of the season, it's still quite a risk. It's unlikely that we win this one but who knows...

 

[SLAB]

Nocioni/Artest should be a battle.

Pretty much my sentiments as well.

 

[Circa_1985_Fan]

Nocioni/Artest should be a battle.

I get the feeling Noce has given up on the rest of this season and just wants to see what happens in the offseason, because he's not playing with as much energy as he was when he first got here, and then the comments he recently made...just putting 2 and 2 together, that's all.

 

[gunks]

Is Artest matched up against Cisco? I know Rick has him playing the 2 right now.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Not really. Noc is on Artest and vice versa, but with all the switching it's sometimes Garcia.

BTW, Beno quarterbacking the offense expertly so far - better than that little dart Brooks.

 

[gunks]

Beno has been a bit more steady as of late.


JT on course for a 40/24 game! haha...He always comes out strong in the 1st. I wonder if its just a conditioning thing due to his energetic play? Either way, I'm pretty optimistic for our frontcourt.

 

[Circa_1985_Fan]

Beno quarterbacking the offense expertly so far -

Havent been able to say that too much this season, eh? lol

 

[gunks]

Holy **** Donte made one!

 

[6th]

Holy Block, Batman! Did you see Garcia block Yao right off his hand just before the ball could even leave his hand? Twas a thing of beauty.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Kings played one excellent quarter against Lakers before stumbling the remaining three Q's. Now they've played two outstanding quarters against the Rockets especially with all the impressive help D on Yao. Second half with tell the tale...

 

[Kings Faithful]

Does Garcia have 3 blocks so far?

 

[pkballr]

So does Natt have some thing with Thompson where when he gets 2 fouls in the first half, he gets pulled? It seems like no matter how he does he ends up sitting when he picks up those two fouls.

 

[Sluggah]

i like our bigs. wish they got these kinds of minutes the whole season.

 

[Bricklayer]

Proabbly a decent idea givent hat you absolutely know he'll get 6 and foul out anyway. Might as well let him survive until the 4th quarter.

 

[kingsnation]

Hawes is playing very very well tonight

 

[kingsnation]

In fact, he and Yao look like they were drafted in the same year.

 

[kingsnation]

That was killer.

 

[gunks]

We're totally going to get a breakout year from both JT and Hawes next season.

If we draft Griffin, I say we trade him to plug a different lineup hole. Our young bigs are beastly enough. No need for a log jam.



JT has to stop leaking out on D to cherry pick though. If he hit the defensive glass like he hits the offensive....12 rpg easily.
