I should be at the game tomorrow night..they better play like this tomorrow night and every game from here on out. They've proved that ALL these guys can play *Kings* basketball. The ball movement was excellent, the passing was pretty damn good except for a few little things here and there. This IS Kings basketball. No excuses anymore. If you can do it tonight, you can do it everynight. All it takes is EFFORT

I alway thought that Pedja responds good for yelling. It is a Serbian thing I guess. Coach Pesic won 2 titles by yelling at pedja all the time
 
I was shocked Adelman was actually yelling at his players on the sidelines at times. I usually have really good seats close to the Kings bench, and even when it was really bad I've never seen him just yell.

Grant commented that Rick is coaching every possession right now.

Dear Rick,

Please coach like you did tonight everynight.

Thanks,

I wonder if Pesic would like a job in the NBA?
he is a great coach - defense first - defense only - always

He would have hard time dealing with some of the NBA players.

He doesn't lose often and he hadnles it bad. When he loses 2 in the row there is a practice at 4-5 am. Now imagine NBA stars showing up at 5 am for practice. He also benches people for missing assignment on the floor. He doesn't care about names (Pedja was benched in the WC semies for the whole 2nd half for allowing an offensive rebound. Radmanovic was excluded from the team for not paying attention. Tough guy but 100% winner

WORD

I was sitting there watching the game and I about dropped my beer when I saw him call a timeout(with a 20 point lead) and scream at his team and actually bench Peja at the same time because he screwed up.....Bravo to Rick but I'm really not understanding why this took him so long. Doubt this will continue but we can hope. :D

I remember Rad sitting... you are right of course NBA brats would not respond well... mores the pitty!
 
a refreshing blowout. You knew everything was going the Kings way when Bonzi hit 3 consecutive perimeter jumpers, kinda reminded me of the old Doug Christie rule; If Doug gets double digits, Kings win.
 
Bonzi is the man. I'm dating a girl right now and since we haven't known eachother that well, we just told eachother what we wanted for Christmas. I told her to get me an Authentic Replica Jersey, #42 Wells.

Purple Road Jersey of course.

Geez, I love it when announcers and people always say 'Boy, the Kings sure are going to be happy after this win', even though it should just be treated as just a game...the team is 8-12 after this game, and still is in need of consistancy, who knows, we could come out and lose the next 3 games and this will obviously mean nothing. Consistancy, commitment, cohesiveness...that wins ballgames ladies and gentlemen
 
I think any win right now is a reason to lift the spirits Circa. Its a win, will help to boost some confidence and I am sure they will feel great after this one. They worked hard and were rewarded for it. Now with that said I think they also realize that it's just one game and something to build on..

IMO no need to knock them for it. Great win and a much needed win IMO
