[Game] Kings v. Thunder - 4/9/16 - 7:30PT, 10:30ET

[Krunker]

Great to get the W with all the past Kings

 

[VF21]

I will hold memories of Arco in my heart forever. I cannot believe the feels...

I love this team.

 

[Merdiesel]

Geez. Not gonna lie.. Tears. A lot of em.

So many great memories. I truly love this team. Go Kings.

 

[fansinceday1]

My favorite moments tonight were seeing coach adelman and Brian grant. I hope the Kings make a habit of bringing out the past players and making them part of the present.

 

[funkykingston]

Adios Arco.

 

[upinsmoke]

Long live that Arco thunder. Kings fans, battle tested mother approved.

 

[Kingfanpaul]

What a great game. They really did a great job with the broadcast tonight. So many memories!

 

[Kingfanpaul]

It's so weird to think that I will never go to Arco again.

 

[sono]

I've never been in Arco, but I my Kings hayday memories are connected to it.

 

[SLAB]

OP scratching records may be Arco Arena's all-time highlight!

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Well, he had to be good at something, besides being tall...

 

[BamBam52]

Mike Bibby is HAMMERED!!!

 

[SLAB]

Mike Bibby is HAMMERED!!!

Lol, Totally!

Going from Brad to Bibby were the two opposite faces of drunk!

 

[fansinceday1]

Mike Bibby is HAMMERED!!!

My wife said the same thing!
I told her "nooooo".
She insisted "Bibby doesnt talk that much. He's drunk!"

Nice way to go out. Seeing all the old guys there was awesome. Loved the little exchange with Bobby and Doug where Bjax was insinuating that Karl was done. The look on Doug's face was hilarious.

 

[Section 101]

Makes you wonder why he came out with such a terrible attitude and body language all game long.

I could see in warmups something wasn't right.

You're a poet and a scholar, thank you!

The way I read that look and timing, was that Doug would like to be coaching the Kings next year.

 

[Kingston Jamaica]

Geez. Not gonna lie.. Tears. A lot of em.

So many great memories. I truly love this team. Go Kings.

Me neither. It was an unbelievable win and so, so sweet. However, I had tears already at the halftime when I saw Rick Adelman, Pete Carrill and Wayman Tisdales daughter.

 

[KingMilz]

Yeah, something has been off from the very beginning. No idea what, but completely out of the spirit of the thing. Did he want to do the pregame talk? Is he mad we tried to tank even THIS game by holding out Rondo? Was he expecting to be tanked/held out himself then pressed into service late? No idea but its something blatantly wrong.

By playing two guys who actually play D instead? Taking Rondo out helped a lot.

psst...opponent scored 112 on us on 48% shooting and 41% shooting from 3pt land.

 

[Chubbs]

Shut up Napier.

If you would have been paying even an iota of attention you would have noticed Singler shoved DMC right in front of a ref to a no call.

Though if Napier had seen it, he would have commended Singler for showing such incredible MOXIE.

Grant's list of favorite Kings was telling.

Jon Barry. Vlade. Peja. Scott Pollard. Danny Ainge. Brad Miller

Quite telling.

Of course he doesn't see or ignores the actions of Kyle Singler and Koufos. It's part of the pattern.

Pretty sure Ainge and JB were Reynolds favorites, not Napear. And I think they were talking about Tisdale being a favorite at the time.

JB is one of Grants best friends along with Pollard.

Well yeah, that's safe. Tis was only the nicest guy in the universe. No surprise there.

I'm just saying, Mitch or Cwebb, being the two best players in franchise history, might have come up in that discussion, instead of every no talent white guy the franchise has ever had. What, no mention of Jim les? Olberding? Joe Klein? Rich Kelly? Connor Henry maybe?

All kings immortals.

Speaking of those two, where the hell were they last night? They can show up for their jersey retirement, but can't make it for the last game? I don't get it. Heck, Mitch has a small stake in the team. Why on earth he wasn't there is beyond me.

Honestly, the only former players that should get a free pass from the fans for no-showing are those that still have jobs in the league with other teams or are no longer with us.

Also, why wasn't Kenny Smith or Corliss Williamson announced during the halftime festivities? I get that Corliss was working, but they still could have announced his name as part of the 90's or 2000's teams. And Kenny Smith was in the building, why wasn't he announced even if not on the court with a jersey? I'm lost.

Sorry if this has been discussed already, but I didn't feel like digging through the threads for it.

Bipolar maybe?

 

[Glenn]

Kenny Smith was announced.

 

[Section 101]

Bipolar maybe?

Naw. It wouldn't surprise me if he was just down because it was the last game in the arena and no playoffs.

But I feel for him. I've seen stuff this year, that I won't get into, that he has to deal with fans. I was 5 feet from an incident last night after the game.

It's sad that Brad Miller, Bonzi Wells, Kenny Thomas and Mo Evans were the newest Kings alumni worth bringing in(certainly a few guys missing like Kevin Martin, Ron Artest, Shareef) but after that team the franchise has been filled with mediocrity. Guys like Donte Greene, John Salmons, Spencer Hawes etc will just be remembered as relics of extremely dark times for this franchise.

The only redeemable alums from the last 8-10 years are Francisco Garcia, Jason Thompson, Beno Udrih, Isaiah Thomas, Tyreke Evans and thats about it. From near a decade of teams those are the only guys I would be happy to see in a reunion type event like Saturdays match.
