Kings Vs. Thunder game thread

[VF21]

Dude above me. Nighthawk.

Keep in mind the players cannot see what's being written on the screen. In addition, the art of sarcasm and ironic statement is just about impossible to pull off successfully on a message board, especially without the use of emoticons...

While it would be great in some ways to see the Kings win, it would actually do very little for our future. That's why we've resorted to calling wins "wosses" - as in a win that is actually a loss if you're looking at the big picture.

People IN ARCO are rooting, as they should, for the Kings to continue to play their hearts out and win. That's what's really important.

It's all good. We wouldn't be here at Kingsfans.com if we weren't die-hard fans.

This is turning into a real nailbiter.

And with that being said....Lets see more of JT, so he can hussle our way into a few more TOs

This is actually kind of entertaining ... 10 chickens with there heads cut off trying to play basketball.

 

[Nighthawk1]

It's a battle of wills right now.... Who wants to lose it more. Losing the ball in open court..

Thunder has compiled a team of some amazing athletes (this was my completely serious portion of the thread)

 

[gunks]

Haha...Yeah, I'm just watching the play by play...Nothing but bad passes, steals, out of bounds plays.

Ugly ugly game.

I'm telling you, they play in spurts of playing serious - then remembering if they play too serious they hurt their draft positions... That's the only way I can look at this game w/out being frustrated...

Currently: THunder - 15 TO's... Kings - 19 TO's

Yea, but me I root for the Kings to always win. I don't like to see the Kings lose. I guess that's just me.

Actually, the stats just don't tell the story, nor does a cold PBP. (Unlike my PBPs, which always attempted to tell "the rest of the story." )

It's been a pretty good game to watch because of the heart and hustle, energy and excitement... and errors. Solomon, McCants, Garcia, Nocioni and Hawes on the court for the Kings? Hey, that's gonna be entertaining if nothing else.

And right now, that's more than good enough for me.

 

[Gliesian]

the three benchateers... lol Jerry

Most of us gave up rooting for wins too hard earlier in the season just because it you end up getting frustrated... Now I chose to root for our young bigs to progress and play well.

foul on a jumper of a jumpball ?

Of course... Gotta give kings the lead

 

[gunks]

I'm bummed I cant watch games...I live in Laker country. So unless they're playing the Kobe's or Clips I dont see games.

I like that hussle is back on the team though. That was my main gripe with the Reggie, Natt coach swap. Seems the team dogged it after that. I guess the Miller/Salmons trade was great for the team attitude!

I just want to see some more time for Greene and JT!

Entertaining? Heck yes. I've been chuckling through most of this game.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

We could actually really be tanking this one.. 4 minute mark and kmart is on the bench

There's nothing wrong with that at all. Just don't take it too seriously around here. Bottom line - down the road - we all want the same thing. We want a return to the days when the Kings were an elite team, garnering national respect and still playing after April... It's really all good. No one is going to fault you for rooting for your team. If they do, they can take it up with me.

Yeah, but the Thunder isn't gonna fall for it that easily. We're gonna have to put a lot more syrup on the pancake, so to speak...

Oh yeah????

I am finally believing...I mean really believing...that the Kings are not trying to win this game (the staff, not the players). How are they explaining that Kevin has played only 22 minutes?

 

[kingzallday]

Cisco for 3!!! 31 mins^^

 

[NewArena]

DID garcia seriously just make that?

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Everyone knows you bench Cisco in the clutch .. put in Kmart.

 

[gunks]

Garcia doesnt want us to win the lotto...haha

 

[6th]

Cisco is a clutch player. No surprise here. My surprise is that he is on the court.

 

[Nighthawk1]

Haha.

Get our defenders off the court if you really want to tank this....

 

[NewArena]

Nocioni with the huge rebound, gotta love this guy.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

hahahahahahahahah Nocioni. Wow.

 

[Nighthawk1]

Noci WIDE OPEN with 10s left ... And pretty much AIRBALLS it.... someone convince me that both these teams aren't trying to purposely lose this game?
