I dont blame Peja for losing this game. The guy gave all his effort tonight and unfortunalty he got injured and still attempted to play. I really have to give the bench a bad grade on this except for Thomas. Jason hart really needs to step it up offensivly because i know he could play more offense then he has show. Kevin has no excuse to have 0 points. He didnt help on either sides. He turned it over a couple of times and let Ray Allen have a shootout.

Kings played pretty well for the most part.
The injury to Peja was unfortunate, and took some wind out of their sails.
But in crunch time, they couldn't get the boards and couldn't hit the shots. I didn't come away from this game thinking the Sonics were the better team, just that the Kings still have a ways to go.
Turnovers also didn't help. Many were completely unnecessary bad-decision type turnovers too.
And our reward for all of this? The Spur.
We were so close to .500 too!

I agree that a timeout should have been called, but that's one of those decisions that looks good if you win and looks bad if you don't. Not a determining factor in the game...we still got a decent shot.
Our bench, however, is worrying me more and more. We may see how big that problem is if Peja's play is limited due to his hand injury. Granted, no one can replace Peja's shooting, but right now we have NO ONE who is capable of giving us a scoring punch off the bench. Right now this is our biggest problem, and it will only get worse with injuries.

If he had taken the time out then, the Sonics would have had a chance to set up their defense better ...
But, what the heck. You're right. It's all Adelman's fault. He MADE the Kings miss boards, he MADE the bench suck big time again, etc.
ADELMAN SUCKS!

Typical...
Are you watching the post game show that's telling you they can "set up their defense"???
Every single coach that is worth anything would call the time out they had left. Seattle is the WORST defensive team in the Western Conf. so whatever they set up we should be able to shred. You work it inside out and set up the shot with that much time left. To continue to apologize for Adelman's deficiences is about as old as my railing on how poor of a coach he is in crunch time. Give it a rest and let us who don't like him as a coach have our say.
We're pretty much stuck with this bench unless we package off another starter (and getting real depth this time). That sucks though cause we'd just be bleeding more talent for questionable gain. No one on our bench has any value for trade. KT is the only consistent performer but players of his caliber are a dime of dozen and cost far less. No one will take him. We'll just have to hope the starters pick it up even more or Garcia is an early bloomer.

When have I ever NOT let you have your say?
Is it wrong to disagree with you, to point to other causes than simply blaming the coach?
Yes, I did watch the post-game and I agreed with the comment Kara made.
So "give it a rest" is totally unwarranted. You're having your say. I'm truly sorry for having the unmitigated gall to disagree with you. Feel free to continue to rant...

should have just waived him and resigned darius and signed reef for mle..... who cares what team he goes to since its not ours..... let martin be our weak link and keep bobby..... we'd have bobby, garcia, barnes, darius and an unused ostertag coming off of the bench..... we wouldnt have lost to the hornets, knicks, denver and now the sonics......
but we have so much flexibility now with our bench scoring 9 ****ing points..... way to go team......

I fine with RA NOT calling the timeout. If you watched closely Bonzi got the rebound off Allen's miss and pushed it up the floor like he should have. Unfortunately, there wasn't anything easy for Bonzi to do with it so they tried to reset the offense. There was plenty of time to get a good shot and Mike had a good look at it and was feeling it...He just hit a big 3. The BIGGEST problem with the Kings right now has nothing to do with the starting 5 or KT, who has played well the last two games. Biggest problem is the lack of a legitimate backup at the 2/3. Martin clearly can't cut it and besides Garcia there's really nobody for Adelman to turn to (Corliss couldn't have guarded Allen tonight, but then again neither did Martin). Clearly something has to be done with the 2/3 backup and the fact that GP tried to get Desmond Mason makes it evident that he thinks so to. Package a 2nd rd. pick and Martin or Garcia to Washington for Jarvis Hayes.

It would be nice to have Bobby, but I'd hate to see where we'd be without Bonzi and Martin starting at the 2.

We're over the cap and unless we have an exception I'm not aware of, we're not signing anyone for nothing. Plus, there WERE a whole handful of players. All the cheap and good FAs have been picked up. I don't even have to see the current list to know it's full of junk that's either development league level or overpriced has-beens.

Yea as of right now we really dont have a player of the bench that we can count on. Kenny Thomas and Martin are both very inconsistent. Hart just doesnt have any offensive game. Our bench makes a lot of mistakes.
