The Game Thread Dude
Well well well. Hello referees/ 3 extra Laker players. The faces may change but it's still the same. The refs are about as fair as a boxing match with a man with ms. But that being said, the blame for this loss doesn't just fall on the bad officiating.
We went through cold stretches in this game so bad that I'm now positive that Al Gore was lying about global warming (please no politics, this is just hyperbole). Seriously, we went through a 7 minute stretch without a field goal.
Luther Head played good D on Kobe in the 4th. Unfortunately, he also played good D on himself by taking stupid shots and missing the shoots he's supposed to be good at. Isn't this the same guy we brought in to be our sharpshooter?
Once again stupid fouls were our enemy. WHile the refs were bad, our Big 2 made several stupid attempts that led to their bench warming in the 4th quarter when we still had a relative chance.
Defense is good for you, especially the kind that keeps the other team from scoring wide open 3s. Just sayin'.
And now I must really, really take issue with the coaching. A 5/4/3 line-up of Sammie/Carl/JT? Really? REALLY? Are you that steadfastly against playing Donte? Just because we have size doesn't mean we need to utilize it stupidly. I mean Donte is 6'11" and capable of playing 3. Why not try him instead of shifting our 4/5 over to the SF spot instead?
Sammy D. I love your defense and rebounding but PLEASE don't take anymore jumpshots. You were brought in to be our goaltender not to be a chucker. If we wanted one of those, we would have brought in Channing Frye.
WE NEED MORE KINGS FANS AT THE GAME WHEN THE CRYBABIES ARE IN TOWN!!!!
Reke took over in the last 4 minutes but once again it was too little too late.
50 bucks to the first guy who punches Kobe in the face.

AWARD TIME:
TDM: Matt "Benedict Arnold" Barnes Screw you traitor.
LW-VC & Mikki: ESPN's Announcing crew (Biased much?)
SAR: Theo Ratliff (The dude is like 500 years old and plays like it.)
JHA: Luther "Just keep shooting" Head - Good D. Bad 3s
RA&1: Carl "I Forgot How to Shoot" Landry.
WTF Moment of the Game: Carl Landry becoming Mikki Moore.
The Academy Award for Best Actor: Pau Gasol aka Flopzilla aka Vlade without the soul.
Reke- Ice that wheel
DMC- Just learn from the Big Boys (preferably with no flopping unless it's like Vlade's)
Omri- Where did you go?
Carl- Lost: Carl's Mojo. Please return for award.
Beno- Solid.
Luther- Work on that Jumper
Cisco- Solid. Next time punch Kobe. Just for me, please????????
Sammy D- NO MORE JUMPERS
JT- play like that more often (but with more makes)
D-Jax-Making the most of your chances.
Rest-MAteeen
Donte- Remind Coach that you're on the team.

Memphis in town. They are good but they got blown out of the water by the same team that we managed to muster a reasonable, if inadequate effort against. They are tough (kind of) and are a good measuring stick in regards to our position in the conference right now.
KEY MATCH-UPS
Reke vs Mayo: Both players could have a bit of trouble with each other but I think Reke is simply better and will win this match-up. Although that ankle may throw a wrench in this.
DMC vs Zach Doughboy and the Fat Gasol: Good test inside. Neither of them are as good as Pau but still, a good test nevertheless.
Omri versus Gay: Will Good Omri show up this game?
Paul vs the Temptation to play Some Messed-Up Lineup: Some restraint, please coach.
Donte versus the Bench: We miss you, buddy.
I believe we bounce back and deliver. Win win win. Keep getting better. When we face the a-holes down south again, we will be better and we will win.
PS: After one loss, it would appear that the sky is falling.
Fellow Arco faithful, please be patient. Rome wasn't built in a day.
