Kings @ Sixers Game Thread

[VF21]

Come on, tyrant. Fess up. We know you're really a Mavs fan.

 

[fnordius]

You did see more youth.

Hmm? Price + Douby + Williams got all of 9 minutes today. Last night they got 31. Seems like a strange time to be leaving them on the bench, when most of the team is exhausted from 4 games in 5 days.

 

[KingsChick]

at least our rivals the mavs are blowing out the hawks and on the verge of hitting another 12 game winning streak

Why would we care about the Mavs?

 

[DaMan]

When was the last time we only had 2 pages for a game tread.

 

[SacKings384]

Been a while... But it's hard to tell as the game is still to be discussed. I vaguely remember the Pacers thread being pretty small right after the game.

what is there to discuss ? We don't have enough dept to win the 4th game in 5 nights

 

[SacKings384]

I hate the fact that the 7th and 8th seed is such garbage that it's still within striking distance for the Kings...

Excellent point. It could be worse however. If we were in the EC Atlantic division, we'd be in line to go deep into the playoffs before being totally annihilated.

Muss is really taking this loss hard...and for once he's not needing his laser pointer for all the pie charts and bar graphs after this game...there wasnt any. He took the brunt of the loss, and said it was his fault. Man, talk about throwing himself under the bus...

 

[BMiller52]

Apparently there was some stuff said on the radio, anybody know what it was?

What kind of stuff?

Muss' quotes, BTW, are in the recap:

"I'll take the blame for this one," said Kings coach Eric Musseleman. "I have to do a better job teaching rebounding. It's my fault. We need to get back to teaching."

Teaching? It's not like most of these guys are youngins.

Okay, I didn't hear it but it sure sounds like martyrdom in the making.

"I'll take the blame..."

"I have to do a better job teaching rebounding."

I heard the whole postgame interview...and I really dont know what to think...this sucks.

Was he sarcastic, or angry, or trying to be a martyr? Did he have any other comments?

 

[NikateeN]

So he has to tell them to rebound in order for them to do it? What are they 5?

 

[NikateeN]

Or maybe we shouldn't have a front lineup of Corliss and Kenny out there, the dreaded 6'7" lineup. Especially against mammoths like Dalembert.

Yea but when the 7 footer is out there he doesnt seem to wanna jump for the ball, a couple of times tonight he just reached up for the ball without his feet even leaving the ground, and of course the guys in the 76ers jerseys, you know, the ones that were jumping, well they were getting the ball.

I know his legs/feet/kness probably bug him, but ya gotta jump.

It isn't even just a matter of size. Except maybe for KT, our guys are slow and unathletic.

I just noticed tonight how slow Reef is, i mean ive always known he was slow, but not this slow...anybody else notice that he even falls down in slow motion? Wierd stuff.

I like Reef, but age is a killer in this sport, hes proof.

To me it seems like he got old really fast. Either that or he just doesn't care anymore. Who knows?

Keep in mind that Brad was jumping right before his plantar fasciitis flared up. He might be a little hesitant and I wouldn't blame him...

 

[tyrant]

i wouldn't exactly call them our rivals. both teams need to be relative equals in order to be truly called rivals...and the kings are nowhere near the mavericks level...

i meant our old rivals

 

[Warhawk]

i am better than kenny thomas

At what?

I wouldnt blame him either, i would rather have him out there playing than sittin on the sidelines hurt, but when you got a 7 footer and still cant get rebounds its frustrating.

Come on Muss! Just put Williams in. We can't play any worst.

I've always had a dream of Brad being paired up in the front court with a shotblocker/rebounder.

And yet, oddly, I never viewed the Mavericks as our rivals. I viewed them more as annoyances.

 

[tyrant]

At what?

basketball my friend!
