Preface:"VF21 asked me to fill in since venom_7 has apparently been delayed or something, so here goes..." (I tend to follow suggestions like instructions sometimes, and as once told by my ROTC instructor: "Do as you're told, do as you're told, and uh... do as you're told.":D)

How cool was that game last night? How many of you are elated to have witnessed the potential emergence of our future ROY, 9 time All Star, 1st team All NBA, MVP Caliber [insert official position] guard? Havoc, I'm on the band wagon. Don't give me a reason to believe Brandon Jennings was a better option ever again ( Jennings's contribution and stats: 18.4 ppg, 4.4 apg, 1.6 spg, have been freakin' impressive.) I won't go into depth about last nights game, but I will link up these two threads:

When threads like those happen, you should know you ought to have watched the game.

If anything should translate to this game, I hope it's this: I was most impressed by the outstanding passing ability of JT, who seems to show us something new every time out, and the way Tyreke collapsed the defense when he entered the post. How about we just start JT at the point and move Havoc to the 4? What a weird sort of inverted Nellyball nightmare that would pose for our opponent tonight, the Master of Miniscule, Nelly himself.

This is my favorite matchup, Warriors Vs. Kings; the pace is almost guaranteed to melt your face. If you have a heart, you should immediately buy tickets to the game, travel up or down I-5, exit Arena BLVD, go east to the Arco Arena Entrance, sit in the delapitated gym with wooden floors, and stomp and scream for the hustling young players we saw upset the Jazz last night. (Yep, it's a home game.) I think I will enjoy the Evans Vs. Ellis/Curry matchup most. BTW, have you all noticed the absolute deluge of talented competition thrown at Havoc in these first 7 games? I never realized how talented the whole NBA appears to be at the 1 position, and Havoc (is his nickame sinking in yet?) seem more than capable against them all.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since I'm doing this in a hurry, I'd like to get straight to the awards:

AWARD TIME

TDM went to Wes Matthews. Who the heck is Wes Matthews, and why was he allowed to score 11 points off the bench?

LW-VC Fesenko. No contribution as far as I can tell.

JHA Sean May. What is going on with all these 6'7" college superstars sucking wind in the NBA? On our team?!

SAR/Methuselah - I'm tempted to give this to AK-47 every time I watch him play. What the he**, at the risk of a fleecing I give him the honor. I just think he geared way down over the past couple years.

WTF moment of the game - Our coaching staff wins the game. Not any particular player, just solid decisions from the bench. Been a long time since we've seen any of that.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

We match up against the worst of our division tonight, and let's hope to keep it that way. GO KINGS!

Jason Thompson is looking foward to this game. Dude averages like..17 boards vs the Warriors.
 
Thanks, ryan! It's good to know KF has depth coming off the bench!!!

I told someone I'd find the award definitions but have been unable to do so. I'm going to post the basics and people can add on to or correct as they wish...

TDM = Tony Delk Memorial - Given to the player on the opposing team who makes himself look like an all-star at our expense. It was originally intended to honor those who had once been on the roster of the Sacramento Kings but has been expanded.

LW-VC = Luke Walton Vaccuum Cleaner - The opposing player who totally and completely sucks.

JHA = Jason Hart Award - As in why in the heck is this guy on our team anyway?

If I remember correctly we also had the SAR-Methuselah award, which I think was given to the player who looked the most like he should retire from football and apply for social security.

:)

Thanks, ry! Very nice job. Agreeing with VF21, I'll just say...what a bench we have!!!

I'm looking forward to this game. Nelly ball can be weird but is often fun to watch. I'd love for our guys to remember that they do not have to play Nelly ball (well maybe some). They can try to remember that they have a better defensive team now and can obstruct GSW flow. Let's try it.

I can find it. I will bump it for you, then you can probably sticky it. Thanks for the props guys.:D

Gave AK-47 the wrong award, edited and posted. He was supposed to get the SAR

I'm excited and a little nervous for tonight. First time in a while were playing in a game were supposed to win, it'll be interesting to see how these kids respond to that.

Any news on Casspi? Is he playng tonight?
 
Okay, I'm ready for some exciting basketball by some exciting young players. Let's do it.

GO KINGS!!
 
Looks like around 7,000 people attending tonight's game. Way too many empty seats, especially in the upper level.

I'm going to say what I said before. Maloofs need to lower the ticket prices....more. I know its a business, but this is getting rediculous. We need butts in the seats, bottom line.
 
It's empty either because we're too poor, or we don't have the time because we're working 2 jobs to make ends meet around here. Sucks.

If they keep hustling, the fans will slowly return.
