[Mad D]

Su-Per Son-Ics

 

[nk the man]

well, noth'n new!!!
once again - "late comeback didnt help the kings..."
8 am middle eastern time and i'm awake cause i actually thought that somth'n would be different but nope, its worse... and i have to read during this thread things like trade cat, bibby suck, songaila's gone, put eddie in, etc'... wtf?!
ohh, stupid me!

This sucks ***! What the hell has happened to this team? What if we lose the next game? I can hardly imagine it could happen. but I hardly imagined we'd be down 2-0 either...

One of the things that I have loved about the KINGS for years (even the rotten ones) was the STRONG fan support. This is the time to PROVE that we are the best "6th man." Let's not give on them. While I am actually looking forward to what Petrie is going to do this summer, I still think we can win this series. I, as well as many of you, will keep saying that I believe, eventhough I live where we are surrounded by "the enemy." We will play better. We will start Friday. It is time to make a comeback history making series of our own.

 

[BullKing]

You can only do so much with a starting lineup with no intensity and no heart.

I agree, you made a great point..... but Rick went to his bench too late IMO.

 

[loopymitch]

No we must carry the final quarter momentum forward!

i agree, if this game didn't kick them in the but then nothing will. I'd like to hear what RA says to them now. I'd be reaming them a new one, well almost all of them anyway. We shouldn't have dug such a big hole to climb out of.

 

[BenchMob]

I missed most of the game, but I did not see Tag/Miller in the 4th qtr, probably cause the guys on the floor were doing good. Did RA use this combo much in the game?

 

[SacTownKid]

Great trades... The Kings look really good...They could go all the way.. We just aren't as good as Seattle anymore guys.

We weren't any better before as opposed to now. We may have got out of the first round with out the trades but we wouldn't have even sniffed a championship.

If we managed to lose the next game I expected some boo-bird in Arco, although I never boo Kings player.

They need to play everygame like their last game from now on.

 

[OptimusRhyme]

I wish Eddie house would start over Mobley...

 

[ImaKingsFan]

I for one am not jumping off the bandwagon. We have dug a hole for ourselves but we are down 2 but going home to ARCO and it is after all a 7 game series.


GOOOOOOOOO KINGS!! I still BELIEVE!!

Keep telling yourself that. These guys sure kick some *** huh?

Sniff was a unique choice in words, considering the marvalous game we just saw.

It is a bad mix. Too many similar players who did not play together. Not enough brain either.
Not to forget to blame Finley here because our best 3 players are nowhere near 100% health

 

[Peja]

Series is not over yet,Kings bench showed tonight that Sonics aren't that good.In the next games in Sactown we really need Bibby and Peja to step up.I hope that this isn't the end for the Kings this season.
Can somebody tell me how many times teams moved forward after 0-2 score?

 

[OptimusRhyme]

Theres always hope, I know the Kings aren't done, I think this Fourth quarter showed us the comebacks we are capable of, these Kings will not give up even when they are at the bottom of the pit, and I really think this was the wakeup call they needed, I think the starting Lineup now sees what needs to be done.

 

[BullKing]

This series is not over, definitely not......but we need to come out with the intensity from the start otherwise it will be 3-0.


PS.

Rick in the podium seems ticked off, I like it, I hope he goes into that locker room and rips them to pieces.

We agree.

 

[loopymitch]

RA said snowball, that was more like an avalanche!!!!

 

[Sofa King]

at least there were a couple sparks of competiveness =/

 

[BullKing]

This was a carbon copy of game 1. we go down big and then we have to fight back....that's not a smart way to play in the playoffs.

 

[Bibbylicious]

I for one am not jumping off the bandwagon. We have dug a hole for ourselves but we are down 2 but going home to ARCO and it is after all a 7 game series.


GOOOOOOOOO KINGS!! I still BELIEVE!!

We need to circle the wagon around our guys on Friday and Sunday. Just make alot of noise and give them all our support that Arco is known for.

ALL THE WAY KINGS!!

 

[Sofa King]

hopefully they can regroup

 

[Grobar]

we came back because they allowed us to. they stopped playing defense whatsoever toward the end. we just realized it and started attacking them. if we had the same mentality in the beginning, maybe we wouldn't have been in a 26 point deficit.

Funny... This is the same thing we all said after game one.

 

[troosvelt]

Kings need to learn that a game is FOUR quarters long, not one

 

[crypticone]

Yeah and they got up by 26 because we let them. We were palying no defense as well. Gimme a break.

*applauds* finally someone has seen the light..

 

[loopymitch]

I just got out of the hospital b/c of my heart. This team is determined to put me back there but I still love this team.

 

[loopymitch]

Did anybody just see Jones from Miami as Alfred with his toilet brush? That was funny. I needed that. Those TNT guys do make me laugh with those pics they come up with.
