Kings @ Sonics (Game 5) Game Thread

Peja!!!!!!!!!

 

[4cwebb]

Peja has only missed one shot in this first half, and he just hit another three. Can we get Peja 5 or 6 more shots this quarter?

 

[ParniValjak]

Bibby's been there countless times in the 4th. Peja never has.

What do you have inside info or something? Do you really think Petrie is that attached to Peja to keep him at the expense of hurting the team?

Why would you give away your best, most clutch player, yet keep the 3rd option (that is when he wants to be at least a 3rd option)?

I don't think any of us know what Petrie will come up with BUT Bibby is not untouchable. I am sure that Petrie would trade anyone, including Bibby if he thinks it will improve the team.

 

[Rain man]

Interior D, please????

 

[Londonking]

with Peja 8 -9 from the field and 2 -3 from outside we must still hae a great chance if he can keep this up....

 

[steve]

someone box collison out!

 

[4cwebb]

Bibby still shooting well as well, and he hits a jumper to bring the King within 3.

Collison with another hustle play, but Miller answers back with a jumper. Down only 3. Gotta feel good about that to this point.

 

[hoops4kings]

interior D is simply awful. We can't win playing D like this.

 

[Shadowlude]

how was that not over the back?

 

[4cwebb]

Please control the defensive glass, Kings. Sonics aren't making their initial shot in these last few possessions, but are getting o-boards with seeming ease.

 

[Shadowlude]

3...not bad not bad...peja needs to keep it up =X...

 

[slugking50]

tell the play by play guy to learn the player's actual names...

Rad-monovic- not Rad-a-manovic
Mob-ley- not Mob-el-ey
Rid-nour not Rid-en-our

Sorry, these sort of things really bug me

Me too....


Still bugs me that people can't say Vlades name right after 16years in the league. or Hedo for that matter.

 

[vj9999]

Peja with a better half than last game.

 

[OptimusRhyme]

Pejas playing amazing

 

[loopymitch]

That half wasn't so bad considering how we started but the fire is not there. Wait to see Chris going fishing. Too bad.

 

[Team Dime]

Nice hustle by Bibby getting to the floor for the off. board. That's the kind of effort I like to see, not the @#@#@# just standing there under the basket while the Sonics keep getting off reb after off. rebound. I like Miller, but has he ever tried to box out??

 

[hoops4kings]

Peja is playing as good as I've seen. The D is terrible. If we can tighten up the D and keep Peja hot, not to mention no quick shooting sprees...there's a chance.

 

[Bartking]

Our best defensive rebounder is when the ball bounces up over the top of the backboard.

 

[steve]

we are getting murdered on the boards tonight. However we were in game 3 and came away with a win. I'm pleased with the assist totals. Peja has got to come out and assert himself in the second half. I like our chances if he does.

 

[MaNiac42]

Peja with a better half than last game.

hopefully he stays consistent for the 2nd too

 

[hoops4kings]

Miller's int D is a liability. Coach might at least consider Tag for a few minutes to stop the easy penetration.

 

[Stojakovic]

Keys for 2nd half :

Keeps Evans in, Mobley out.

Feed Peja, Mike.

Brad, rebound the goddamn ball.

Thomas ... please don't do anything, because chances are you'll screw up.

 

[OptimusRhyme]

Brad Miller really can't grab any rebounds... Thats whats killing us is we need some rebounding..

 

[mbkings10]

Wow Charles not bad mouthing us for a change

 

[KP]

Pejas playing amazing

Peja is unstoppable right now. This is a big game so the fact he has come out aggressive shows me something. No he has to carry it over to the 2nd half, If he disapears it will be hard to win.

 

[Bibbylicious]

Sac 57-60. At least it's close at halftime. They can still do it!!! Scarier thiings have happened.

 

[Rain man]

WHAT?!?!!?!? "I think Sacramento will win this game." Who is the fat man posing as Barkley?

 

[D-Mass]

We've got what we needed so far: a game that we can win. The question is, will we have a good second half or will we see the same collapse we saw in game 4?

 

[piksi]

MEMO FOR THE 2nd HALF

If You are Kings player not named Bibby or Stojakovic - find the guy who has one of those two names. Don't try anything else

 

[HndsmCelt]

glimmers of hope but down by 7 at the half is NOT good... but could and has been worse. Keys to the second half... Pedja has to paly 2 more solid quarters! Bibby has to keep the moveemnt and passing up and get Miller more involved. If Bobby can not contribute... bring him out and put House in. Mo has to lay some ahrd fouls on Allen. Darius and Kenny HAVE to rebound and they need to get the sonics bigs in foul toruble.
