Kings @ Thunder game thread

[kingsnation]

We shouldnt have to rely on the refs, we should have grabbed the freaking rebound!

 

[kingsnation]

Oh my gosh.

 

[Larry89]

what a hysterically bad way to end a game

 

[kingsnation]

That falls on Coach and Kevin.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

That was the longest .3 of a second ever.

 

[Jaylee209]

Kevin with the C Webbesque phantom time-out. What a choker....

 

[chelle]

wow.

 

[Sac.1989]

I tell you if Beno could play like this all the time - we would have our pg of the future.

its great to see him scoring it will do his confidence a world of good. Assists are key though and i really hope he improves here in the upcoming games

 

[Showtime]

I'm glad to see the team not quit and cut the lead in the second half. Obviously defense is an issue, but how many times was Hawes posted on the block to work against a shorter defender? I only counted one time he did, and that was his left hook across the lane. This offense needs to have Hawes work on the block more instead of relying totally on high screens.

And another thing: WHY REACH OUT AND TOUCH A GUY ONCE HE'S BEATEN YOU? How many times did the Thunder, either on the break or getting to the basket, get the and-1 because the kings decided to foul them needlessly?

 

[Starting Five]

close but no cigar..

 

[piksi]

great lin

Wizards won too

we are right there

 

[Capt. Factorial]

And with that loss, we officially will finish behind the Boston Celtics, who have 42 wins. We are the first team this year to be mathematically "eliminated" by another team (granted Boston is not in our conference). We are also the first team to lose 41 and guarantee a .500 finish at best.

 

[vikinginferno]

Yeah, Beno played very good, but this was one of very few good games and I doubt he can be the point guard on a championship-calibur team.

 

[VF21]

They put it out there; they did their best. I have no problem with tonight's game. That kind of effort is all I'm asking right now...

 

[rainmaker]

Natts end of game play calling leaves a lot to be desired.

 

[VF21]

I'm willing to bet he didn't draw up a play for Garcia to shoot without having his feet set. That was on our excitable Cisco, not Kenny Natt...

 

[Section 101]

We shouldnt have to rely on the refs, we should have grabbed the freaking rebound!

That one is on Natt. I was screaming at the TV to put JT in. Why the hell did he leave Garcia in on the block? It was Garcia who missed the rebound.

 

[Kingster]

I covet...

I guess I'm committing a mortal sin because I covet the big three of OK City. Now that's a nice core. And they are going to add another to that core after this draft. Would one day we be so lucky....

What is it with this dumbing down/lowering of standards that's been going on in sports these days? I mean, seriously, just because you have three guys that might actually start on a good team, that doesn't make them a "big three." In fact, I think a good rule of thumb is, if you're thirty games under .500, you don't HAVE a "big three."

Also, what's with this stupid MVP chant? There are, maybe, five teams in the league whose fans have any business chanting "MVP" for their best player, and all the rest of them are suffering from delusions of adequacy. I mean, Joe Johnson gets "MVP" chants in Atlanta... what the **** is that about?

[/soapbox]

 

[VF21]

Atlanta was chanting for Joe Johnson?

...


...


Do you have another soapbox? I might want to rant right along with you. I guess in the world of suckitude, mediocre must be worth a lot more.

funny, I was just thinking the same thing ( kind of .. )

I just finished the game ( dvr, fast forward to the end .. ) and herd grant call john salmons "Mr. fouth quarter" .. if he is mr. fourth quarter than who is quincy douby?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I've been to three Hawks games this season; heard it with my own ears...

Damn Quincy Douby: if he's "Mister Fourth Quarter," why are we 11-41?

 

[kingsnation]

herd grant call john salmons "Mr. fouth quarter"

Actually, he is mr. 4th quarter - except that our team is usually down by 20+, so it's irrelevant.

 

[VF21]

I don't suppose there's any chance they're chanting without knowing what the letters mean?

 

[vikinginferno]

Yeah, it isn't too hard to be Mr. 4th quarter when the other team has put in all of their players that rarely ever play because of a huge lead.

 

[Krunker]

I'm happy with the effort, and right now we are first in line for the #1 pick.
