Kings @ Sonics Game Thread

[KingKong]

If we lose 14 in the row - I won't really care who beat us on the last second play either. They were close enough

Piksi, if you keep banging your head against the keyboard, you may not have much brain left.

 

[piksi]

well i kinda called it

only 14 pts shy

 

[creAtivetfh]

i love how after he hit the shot all of the Kings just let out a sigh of relief and went back to the locker room. there was barely any celebration

 

[Fresno King]

of all the games to not get here in fresno...

 

[BuenoBeno]

Yes, I noted the repeated posting throughout this thread expressing your continuous delight.

It was fugly. We made a team that hasn't won a game since last year look...well actually they still looked bad, we just looked as bad. Then we won. *shrug*

I was watching the game, not on the internet talking about the game. Why do you care so much If I liked watching the game, I am not telling you that you have to like it, just let me be.

 

[HighFlyingMonkey]

I want Chris Wilcox.

And nice shot by Martin. Good to see our young star developing a killer instinct.

yeah we've had a ton of great finishes this year but it could very well give me a heart attack if we keep it up

How long have you been following our beloved team??

Check creativ's link -- that about covers the parts of this one you would have wanted to watch anyway.

well, what he really wanted to say - he has died many times over and over again and he is only still alive so he can suffer trough it again

come on now - I thought the cheerleaders were pretty decent

 

[Andre87]

K-Mart is the man!!!!!!!!!!!!! His performance in the last 2 minutes of the game was awesome! All - that 3pointer, the lay-in after the lob and the game winner!

 

[VF21]

I rather suspect you loved the last minute or so. There was not a fan on here remotely amused by this game unitl the finish. Kevin misses that shot and we lose I doubt we are on here talking about what an exciting snore it was.

Hey, to each his own. It was exciting and it ended well.

Hey, to each his own. It was exciting and it ended well.

Yeah, me too. At this point I've given up the thought of us sucking so bad that we'd get the first pick, and we're not good enough to make the playoffs...so I just decided to enjoy what we have, finally. It's definitely fun to watch, if nothing else, for the first time in a couple seasons. Reggie has his guys playing some inspired ball, with the occasional lapse in concentration when we play the Clippers and Suns, but other than that I have no real complaints over lack of effort. I am looking forward to the 2010 season when we will have hopefully drafted a couple of decent young guys, to go along with the Martin's and Hawes's, and signed a couple of players via FA. Good job Coach Theus, you're definitely the right man for this job

They never give the cheerleaders much camera time, though.

 

[piksi]

unfortunately it is one of the few things that are easy on my eyes and nerves

 

[Showtime]

I kind of hoped the kings would lose tonight, so it would dash the pipe dream of the playoffs, and the team would start playing their youth way more to develop them, since the reality is that's the only thing this season will be good for. But dammit, Martin had to go and be clutch and extend hope for some. I liked Martin's attitude at the end, because he needs to be more passionate on the floor.

And one of the best lines from the AP story?

Kevin Durant led Seattle with 19 points, but missed 15 of his 20 shots.

nice one

now my point is - I think - would You rather watch this or Mikki trying to catch a pass ?

 

[piksi]

and sadly we needed him to miss all 15 of those for us to win the game

 

[creAtivetfh]

only 5 games under with a nice homestand coming up

 

[piksi]

only 5 games under with a nice homestand coming up

5 interesting games before 9/10 on the road.

Out of those 5 only Sonics should be a gimmie but we saw tonight that even gimmie isn't a gimmie anymore

I am looking forward to the Hornets game

 

[Showtime]

nice one

You mean Mikki "And-1" Moore? Same guy, right?

 

[VF21]

and sadly we needed him to miss all 15 of those for us to win the game

And he gladly obliged.



For me and my personal enjoyment of the Kings, this game was fun ... and nail-biting ... and fun.

That's enough for me.

 

[fnordius]

Yeah, I think we can rest assured that we won't be finally and absolutely eliminated until March.

don't tell me that there is another one of those because I can't take it
