To the line.

[rhuber]

How's the Arco crowd holding out VF? Are they keeping the faith / doing their job?

 

[Just_Lurkin]

well i think it's safe to say that SA came to play ball.LOL we gonna win though

 

[VF21]

They're fired up and readying the torches and pitchforks, I think. SA has played very well. We're gonna need everything to pull this game out. One thing? Kings only had three assists in the first half.

This wasn't a concerted effort. I've seen games like this before where, in the second half, the Kings come out with focus and determination. It's gonna take all of that AND I want to see TMass put on his arse. Vindictive? Oh yeah. I didn't like what appeared to be an intentional move on his part to get his foot under Webber's.

 

[VF21]

Kings did do one thing well. They held SA to only 4 points in transition.

 

[Entity]

Is Peja moving without the ball like he does when we win. Or has he resorted to his playoff mode?

 

[VF21]

Excuse me? Please do not start bashing any of our players.

Thank you.

 

[VF21]

ET just said that Webber is not going to play in the second half.

 

[mazzystar]

Why VF...? Is his ankle sprained or something?

 

[VF21]

All they said was they didn't want to take a chance, mazzy...

blech...

RA calls timeout. I hear crickets in Arco.

 

[Entity]

13,14, 15 it will only keep going up. Are they even trying? Post on the board the next time The Kings are playing i don't know who these guys are.

 

[VF21]

Cat pass inside to Pedja, who puts it up, misses wide open lay-up but draws foul.

Pedja to the line.

[VF21]

SA for two more.

63-41 SA

 

[VF21]

This whole board is going to get very ugly because some people cannot tolerate a Kings off-night or a loss. I can't concentrate on doing the PBP and have to give way to a number of PMs that I've received as moderator.

Sorry.

 

[VF21]

74-50 SA with 1:53 left in the third

 

[Geoff]

ouch!

 

[VF21]

it gets worse. I just don't have the heart to keep typing. This is as bad a game as we're going to see. We can't hit the side of a barn and the Spurs are getting uncontested shots from all over the court. With WEbber, we might have been able to stage some kind of comeback. Without him, we're toast against Tim Duncan and company.

82-54 to start the 4th. Tag in.

 

[VF21]

Eddie, Kevin, Tag, MO and Darius on the court.

84-60 SA

9:20 left

We have to?

 

[VF21]

this is the PBP thread. Discussion belongs in the other thread. Sorry, but it has to be THAT way.

6:27 left.

 

[VF21]

Barnes in. TD and Manu finally going to the Spurs bench.

 

[VF21]

Massive fan departure.

90-63 SA

TMass drives inside and is fouled by Tag. (Not hard enough IMHO)

Makes one, misses one.

Kings board.

Kevin for the dunk off Tag assist.

91-65 SA

 

[VF21]

5:39 left in the game and I'm predicting this will be the longest 5 and 1/2 minutes in NBA history.

It won't be that long. I can't see too many fouls and timeouts called
