Kings @ Sonics Game Thread

[VF21]

Personally, I actually prefer the Kings to be down by a couple at the half. It seems they come out better motivated than if they're leading.

cat or whoever is Ding up on allne need to play him TIGHT. he had a wide open 3 in the mid-2nd. we were lcky he missed that

 

[Just_Lurkin]

here's chuck with his bogus "predictions" again i don't know if he's heard or not but the kings and played AND WON many games with key players being out.

 

[BullKing]

We seriously need to start playing at least a tiny little bit of defense.

Yes, that is very true. I also prefer that as well. I see that quite often with the Kings this season.

 

[VF21]

They have been playing a little bit of defense. Geez...

 

[Kings10Bibby]

chuck said radmonavic was a key player when he was 1-6...way to analyze..way to analzye..

 

[C4]

good job insofar by Pedja i agree. but gotta make AS Rashard Lewis work on D as well. should wear him down a little.

 

[piksi]

I will never understand why we take so many bad shots when we can ALWAYS get an open one by moving the ball ?

I mean, how hard is it to understand that ?

Tell me about it. I remember one time they were down by 24 at the half and came out pissed.

 

[BullKing]

Yeah chuck with another one of his "brilliant" predictions. It's always the same S%$#@ with him, he always talks about what the other team didn't do, never gives any credit to the Kings i', fed up with this a-clown

 

[Kings10Bibby]

or we can wear them down by putting it down low but we just need people to cut to the basket

im a sac fan living in Australia, can't see the game... just watching box scores.
just from watching this game...what is the difference between Seattle this year from last year? do Ridnour and Fortson make such a difference...how does it look on tv?

 

[KP]

Kings got outrebounded 24-19 but we had 14 assists, shows we are moving the ball. Chris with 8,5,and 4 and Darius with 8,3,and 3. Cats 3/5 from 3 and Ray allen has 19 but hey he's Ray Allen. Good D by Peja first half. Tag played very well too.

 

[kgrichwine]

Peja will find his stroke, somewhere

 

[Bballkingsrock]

Ray Allen has been unstoppable so far. 9 points in the first half for him.

Look at the bright side though................he is on one of my fantasy teams.

 

[M10Bibby]

why has peja been quiet lately...

 

[Kings10Bibby]

good player find their stroke..pedja WILL find his stroke

 

[Bballkingsrock]

chuck said radmonavic was a key player when he was 1-6...way to analyze..way to analzye..

He has actually done a decent job so far. 6 rebounds 1 steal and 3 assists. he also has 7 points with only one field goal.

 

[BullKing]

Ok, i just looked at the box score, the Sonics are shooting only 41% to our 52% and yet they are leading. We have to start getting to the line to even up the FT disparity

 

[Kings10Bibby]

He has actually done a decent job so far. 6 rebounds 1 steal and 3 assists. he also has 7 points with only one field goal.

i agree but chuck made him look like he's the key to this team all this game and i need to rip on chuck as much as he hason us.

 

[Bballkingsrock]

why has peja been quiet lately...

He hasnt been quiet lately but he has 11 points and the Kings second leading scorer. The only weaknesses he has right now, is his rebounding and asists.

He only has 1 of each.

 

[C4]

He has actually done a decent job so far. 6 rebounds 1 steal and 3 assists. he also has 7 points with only one field goal.

goes to show Rad's been aggressive.

Go KINGS!

Ridnour is maturing into a really good PG. Fortson helps in the middle, where they were really bad/soft up to now. However, the biggest improvement is in their free agents (Allen, Radmanovic and Lewis I believe) are playing lights out most of the time. They are moving ball really well, too. Kind of like Kings really.

I've seen them play small (with radmanovic at 5) and move the ball 3-4-5 times around the perimeter to get an open 3 (in 3-4 games that I saw them this year) with great effect.

I still like the Kings in 6 if we meet in the play off though.

 

[M10Bibby]

my bad then.. ....i guess it just seems hes not as active... but that puts my mind at ease

 

[AriesMar27]

i wonder if webber will get a triple d again? the way this team is movig... it could happen... lets win this game....

go kings...

Actually if he does the same thing he did in the 1 half and do these in the 2nd half all he needs is a little asisting.

So far his stats are: 8 pts, 5 rebounds, and 4 assits. great job by CWebb so far.

 

[BullKing]

I really feel bad for Chris the last couple of games, he is working his butt off, getting back to back tripple doubles and yet his team is loosing, i hope he won't loose his motivation.

Yes they do, but that is not the whole story. Fortson brings in great rebounding for second chance shots, Ray Allen is moveing better than ever and can hit anywhere on the floor so defending him is brutal. Play him clsoe he will cut to the hoop then stop short and pop, give him room and fuggit about it. The other key is Lewis, who has matured into a much smarter and more rounded player. But in the end this is a jump shot shooting team that has been very healthy and has had no real bad streak in it's shooting. They are small so in a half court setting they really struggle. Beceause they are small when a good shot blocker is in the paint they have to settle exclusivly for jumpers. When Tag was in there they had 0 lay ups.

yeah, but I doubt that is going to happen. he might get more confidence that he is doing so well and he will continue what he has done.
