At least 4 of our next 5 are against "easy" win teams. I say "easy" because it doesn't mean that we won't get dominated, we just shouldn't.
 
I guess this is better than getting blown out every game, but man is it much more frustrating.

It was just so much easier last year when you could just turn the game off after the 3rd because we were down by 25.
 
They will get better. Learn how to win this season. Pick up a nice free agent and another #1 draft pick and I think they could be .500 ++ next year. Despite the games being very frustrating at times, I'm excited to be a Kings fan again.
 
Damnit, were so close....

ps - I'm don't want to see Nocioni on the floor until he is out of his slump. When Hawes or Jason is sucking, we don't have a choice, they have to play. When Noc sucks, we have other options.
 
I would like to see Brockman next game, just to knock someone to the floor. Watching layups being made on you is not acceptable.
 
before everyone succumbs to their collective bi-polar disorder here lets consider that we had one rookie with 19 pts, 5 rebs, 4 ast, 4 stl, another with 20 pts and 7 rebs, and strong performances by Thompson (19 and 9) and Greene (11 pts, 5 rebs, 2 blk). now imagine that you are reading this post on December 9, 2008. see what i did there? ;)
 
tough to beat a team that shoots 56% from the field and 89% from 3.. dont stress about this one, just means a few more potential ping png balls come june.
 
FREE THROWS!! FREE POINTS!! THIS IS GETTING OLD!!

It's 10 pm in SA at end of game. By the time Kings get on the plane it will be around 1 AM CT. It's a 3 hr flight back to Sac so it will be around 2 AM PT when they arrive. They get a day off Thursday (so they can sleep all day) before practicing again on Friday. I say, Coach should take them directly to the practice facility (where all of them have their parked cars) to shoot a few zillion free throws. When I was playing basketball in H.S. and college I had a few tough coaches who would do something like that occasionally when we were blowing games we could have won - besides running sprints before shooting the FT's!:rolleyes:
 
meh,im happy with the game. we constantly fell to 10+ point deficits and kept bringing the game within reach against a great veteran playoff team. The youngstas showed no surrender and i was happy to see that.:)

Casspi showed me this game that it may be time to move on from Nocioni.. We should probably be looking for deals for him.

I like Greene at powerforward especially against slow white guys. i hope Coach utilizes him there more often.

Tyreke is just.. a phenom.
 
I really like Casspi off the bench. Perfect spark plug along with Beno. Course we need Donte to progress and become consistent.
 
Donte did good. He just needs to control himself and not make silly mistakes. 11 pts 5 reb 2 ast and 2 blks but 3 to's. He was our only player with a block tonight besides Reke stopping that potential 3 point play by Parker and he contained Jefferson in the 2nd half. I'll take it.
