Almost over - what else can we say about it? After the first 2 games it looked like Sonics in 5 and now it has become really hard to see it any other way. The way we played the 4 previous games 1 - 3 is not that bad at all. We are used to have longer season but times change and some are better than the others. The future is uncertain and we might as well enjoy seeing Kings playing in the post season because things can go either way (Lakers, wolves).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"MUST WIN GAME" - I hate that expression. However, it is what it is. The season might end tonight. Considering a summer that awaits this organization and the fans - every day that we can extend season -- we cut the summer shorter - winning the game would be nice. Also, not having any guarantees about reaching a PO in the future - makes me wanting to see more of this
. Additionally, I would like to see and hear the ARCO crowd again because that is pretty much the only thing that was any good in this year's postseason.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
"MUST LOSE GAME" - sound stupid and makes no sense but it crossed my mind many times since the 3rd quarter of the last game. Why extend this agony? Losing tonight will prevent me to see Kings playing pathetic BB on both ends of the floor. Losing will stop, Kings not playing as a team will stop, opponent's lay up drills will stop, opponent's career highs will stop, taking bad shots will stop, playing "hobbit ball" will stop, missing FTs will stop,” sad" coaching decisions" will stop, falling apart will stop, listening to stupid excuses and explanations will stop, listening to all the "experts" will stop. Suffering will end.
Still, I will watch the game cheering and rooting for the Kings, hoping for a miracle to extend the suffering for at least one more game. Being a fan is being a masochistic.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
How does one lose 19 pts lead in such an important game? Not that difficult at all especially considering that the lead was fake. It was not build on good basketball but on hitting tons of bad shots. In the second half - bad shots stopped falling, yet we continued to take them. We made some "retarded" turnovers, missed free throws and let a guy score 45 pts. So apparently losing 19 pts lead for this Kings team is very simple.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
On several occasions during the Sunday’s game I wished we still had Doug Christie. I know - he is old, hurt, slow etc - still wish we had him. Ray Allen would have at least needed more shots and free throws to get to 45. He would have had to work harder and he would have been punished more.
Then again, maybe it is just me.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Listening to the post game quotes from the Kings players and coaches - adds insult to injury. Are they really that stupid to believe what they are saying or do they really think that everybody else is stupid? You can all fid the quotes and read them carefully. They keep talking and talking and bunch of words are coming out of their mouths but the do not make any sense. Only thing that I agree with is giving Sonics the credit for taking advantage of playing Kings. Not sure how hard it is but still.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Whatever happens tonight - I will be fine either way. Have no expectations - leads to no disappointments. I will watch the game hoping that my team wins but being prepared for a blow out loss. This team is not a team that has a character of the team we had. There is no leadership from the top (coach) to the bottom (players). I am not even going to compare the talent here. Only good thing about this Kings team is the recognition that it will not exist past this summer - so there is something to look forward too.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sonics - I still don't think that they have more talent. However I am more sure than ever that they have a better coach. “They have us on the ropes - can they land one more punch tonight?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another TNT game.The Sunday’s game was an embarrassment for any kind of "objective" broadcasting. The 2 idiots ( thompson & chapman) whose names do not deserve to be written in capital letters have put an exclamation point to the "homerism" in broadcasting history. I am not sure weather they are on Sonics pay list but it sure sounded like that. New wievers could have gotten the impression that Kings are a high school team, that R. Lewis is the best player of all time waiting to happen, and much much more. YUCK !

GO KINGS !!!
One more time
