the starters were the big dissappointment...i mean the rescue crew did their job...I don't care what anyone says we have the ability to run put the points up and beat this team had we had everyone and actually played some defense (starters)...I don't know maybe I shouldn't of had such a high expectation i mean I mean in my heart i said we could win but in my brain i said "i don't think so" either way I didn't think it would be a blowout...i thought maybe we'd lose but not in the fashion in which we did tonight...sorry but in my mind thats what I believed...obviously I was wrong but I still think we can beat that team with everyone...some of our shots weren't falling...
At the risk of sounding negative again, I'm going to make a very basic statement... With Bibby and 4 new guys we cannot compete against the true elite teams.
The fact so many people support the Kings and actually believe them capable of doing the impossible is a testimony to the team AND to us - the fans - but reality is going to come around and bite us all real quick. Bibby, Cat, Evans, Thomas and Skinner ARE not a top elite team in the West. Bibby, Cat, Peja, Thomas and Brad would make it interesting.
I love this team. I am not going to be that disappointed if they don't go too far in the playoffs because better teams knocked them out. Right now, we are NOT an elite team. We have the uniforms of an elite team and SOME of the players, but it's getting down to the brutal truth right now. The line-up that took the court for us tonight is not a championship caliber team. Period.
But that doesn't mean I still won't cheer my lungs out for them.
GO KINGS!!!!!

All I'm saying is I know and ive said this too we aren't a contender we aren't built to win anything I know...trust me I realize this...but what I was saying in that post is in a regular season game with a lineup of Bibby, Cat, Peja, K9 and Brad we CAN beat that Phoenix Suns team...and THAT I'm sticking by...thats what i meant by "if we had everyone"...im not talking about the POs at all in that post...just want to make that clear
Gotcha.
Sorry, but what I saw tonight was just ugly and it put me in a pretty foul mood. I don't know who to be mad at, although I would love to take a few swipes at the basketball gods. I guess I'm feeling sorry for all of us - we've had such highs and lows. If there was any justice in the universe, we (meaning the team) would certainly be due for some good luck. I think I'm going to go outside and kick a tree - or at least threaten it loudly.

My feelings exactly. Took me 1/2 hour or so to get some perspective on this game. I don't know how far this particular version of the Kings can go, even if this is it for next year (which I don't think it will be).
But tonight we played without our starting C, starting SF and out usual back-up PG. How well do you think the Suns would have done if we had those 3 guys healthy & playing and they were missing Amare, Q and Barbosa (to relieve Nash)? Small comfort when that isn't reality, but the Kings still have a lot of talent. (Altho Mobley, Bibby, Evans, Corliss, Skinner, Songaila ALL had terrible shooting tonight.)

My favorite part of the game was at the beginning of the third quarter when the Suns basket was across from our bench and Amare power dunked the ball on their first possession and you can see the entire Kings bench jump like "ah damn" and you could see Erik and Kevin kinda look down and try not to get too excited even though you know they wanted to jump up and scream cuz it was nasty...it was obvious
/end slight sarcasm (it wasn't really my favorite part of the game--fact of the matter is I didn't have a favorite part of the game)
