Kings @ Sonics 10/25/06

[HndsmCelt]

21 to 8 this quarter.

What does our coach see? Slow it down, get it in the paint and work.

Why is one of our more talented players sitting on the bench while Mo Taylor makes mistakes?

It's Pre-Season

 

[Roman]

Kenny Thomas is just about done.

What do you mean?

 

[Roman]

It's Pre-Season

Yeah, but it's the END OF PRESEASON.

You got to go into the season with confidence ... going 0-3 to close out doesn't do much for you.

That's just frustrating to me!

 

[kennadog]

What do you mean?

KT just got his 5th foul right before halftime.

 

[DaMan]

Does thomas really have 5 fouls in the 2nd qt???

 

[Roman]

KT just got his 5th foul right before halftime.

Holy! I just noticed.

Why didn't coach put in SAR? He was getting it done in the 1st. Saved KT a foul or so.

 

[Prophetess]

5 personal fouls

 

[Sirius]

Someone needs to stop Watson.
​

 

[piksi]

Fortson is a new low in player Garbage

considering that he was the old low too - no big deal

 

[Roman]

31-15. That's embarrassing. I hope the coach rips them apart at halftime.

Bench scrub or not. Where was the heart? (no jokes about Hart, please.)

 

[kennadog]

Fortson is just an absolute a**hole. Gets taken out and with over a minute left he just walks off the floor into the locker room. Practically ignores his coach. Barely acknowledges the outstretched hands of his teammates. I dunno, maybe his coach just told him to hit the lockerroom and get it together.

He turned away from Palmer on that loose ball foul (and it was most definitely a foul) after arguing the call. When he turned his back, I'm pretty darn sure his lips said ------- b*tch.

It just irks me no end that he can make so much money while being such a complete and utter jerk.

EDIT: I kow most folks don't like Palmer, but she didn't deserve that and she was absolutley right on the call. We're luky one of our players wasn't cold-cocked by an elbow. We don't need another broken jaw.

SAR's been playing center for the most part.

KT was at three fouls, but he picked up two on consecutive plays without a dead ball in between.

On his behalf, it did look like the coach seemed not at all flustered or suprised that he did that.

I would bet he said get in there and calm down.

 

[Roman]

SAR's been playing center for the most part.

So, it's not like he couldn't spell KT at PF for a few.

Not just that, but who the hell was playing center with this lineup for the closing minutes:

KT
Artest
Salmons
Martin
Price

I mean, it's a tossup .... was it Artest or Salmons?

That's just stupid.

Yeah, that was my last comment. Probably didn't want him getting a technical. He more than deserved one. Probably deserved two, as far as I'm concerned. Then he could hit the showers, too.

 

[HaraWish]

We don't have Bibby, Miller, and.... KT now. Five fouls in a first half! Wow. Now, it is time for Potapenko, finally?

Seems like Musselman has been trying to play small in a lot of these preseason games. Doesn't seem to be working out all that well so far, in my opinion.

 

[LMM]

during the huddle before the 2nd half started, i love the emotion i saw in garcia. he was all pumped up and trying to get everyone hyped up, too. he's not even starting the 2nd half.

i just realized how little we have to wait for the season to start! i'm excited!

let's go kings!!!

 

[LMM]

oh man. REALLY bad start to the 3rd quarter.

 

[Roman]

Come on Kings!

That's two easy buckets we've blown down low!

 

[jaysoonii]

i quess it takes more than garcia to get them pumped up

 

[kennadog]

Muss just lit into KT. For arguing about not getting a call and not getting back on defense an that last play, I'm sure.

 

[LMM]

question: is brad in the arena?

cause i haven't seen him yet.

 

[Roman]

Well, if he isn't, he's certainly handed over some of his defense to us in that 2nd quarter.

 

[fnordius]

I can think of a number of reasons to be annoyed with KT right now.

2 points on 0-4 shooting, 2-4 FT
3 reb, 2 TO and 5 fouls in 20 minutes

Not one of his better nights.

 

[6th]

Maybe he got the okay to stay home for this quick trip. He could be getting some kind of treatment on his hand.

 

[Roman]

We look stupified out there right now.

No energy.

 

[HighFlyingMonkey]

We need Amundson and Williams out there for their hustle. We are looking pretty listless.

 

[gunks]

He needs to put Wiliams in!
