Kings @ Warriors Game Thread

[bibbinator]

GS is a good team. I predicted 1-1 for these 2 games, we'll get the home game.

 

[VF21]

no rebounding, no defense=first round playoff loss

skinner is still the man though and mobley(for once) was awesome. too bad peja is still a non-factor.

KNOCK IT OFF!

If you insist on bashing Peja at every opportunity, find somewhere else to do it.

 

[LMM]

r we really in the 6th spot?!

yep. we have 26 losses, rockets have 25. i don't know about percentage points, but we're headed there unless we turn this thing around.

 

[kingsville]

yes , we are tied for 6th . The season series with the rox is 2-2 so it comes down to the conference record for the tiebreaker.

r we really in the 6th spot?!

Peja played unbelievable D on J-Rich! Until crunch time. This isn't some bench guy, we've structured our whole team around this guy. We need to be able to count on him!

 

[Heuge]

before the last inbound play with 11 sec to go

RA called the play after the free throw on the inbound.

 

[Evenstar]

Exactly! We didn't lose because of Peja.

Personally, I would rather the Kings be the 6th seed and play Seattle.

true. they don't have much size either, plus we look TOTALLY different from the last time we played them, which i think favors us.

 

[KingKong]

Houston overtaking us might be a blessing in disguise. We can take Seattle imo.

 

[natedizzle]

Let us not pile on peja , he needs to work on some things this summer. He is like a "reggie miller" type of a player [catch and shoot] , he needs to work on his dribbling and shooting with a dribble to the left or the right.



It was a fun game !!!

Kings 40-26........

I don't think you can work on being clutch; You either are or you aren't.
I don't blame the loss on the last shot by Peja; it was desperation. The barely grazing the rim was dissapointing.

How tragic would it be if the Kings miss the playoffs. It is a possibility.

 

[Pacboy]

Who was guarding Peja tonight? Peja shot for 7-21. Was it J rich?

 

[Evenstar]

He tried to catch up with Richardson, but there was a questionalbe screen that slowed him down a bit.

illegal

Can we take Golden State?

 

[kingsville]

Peja did what he could , don't blame him for the loss. We played hard , sometimes you can't find the shell in the sand.


I think peja will work on his game this summer to get better at taking the ball to the rim or using a jab step to shoot.

RA called the play after the free throw on the inbound.

Are You saying that the last possesion was a designed play ?

Mike did not even get one screen. There was nothing designed in that play

That is not fair, IMHO.

Richardson was having a huge night - and RA tried just about everyone on him at one point or another. NOBODY was stopping him. Peja did at least force him to make some uncomfortable shots. Unfortunately, tonight the bucket looked like a hula hoop to JR.

 

[Heuge]

He got the same look he did against Memphis. One he hit BTW

 

[iheartBrad]

well thats definetly a heartbreaker...

but we lost the game because how we played in the first half...if we came out at the start of the game even somewhat solid we would of flat out won...

you win as a team you lose as team...

we wouldn't even be talking about Peja had we won this game...i think everyone needs to think about that...you're all just pissed cuz of the loss..it'll subside

good news is we have a rematch on Sunday in our place...not that The Arena in Oakland didn't feel like home...hehehe...

I don't disagree with you he was burning everyone. But don't you find it Ironic that RA switched it up to put Peja on J-Rich and he Shut him down completely... until that last play? He's arguably the best shooter on the planet and he can't even hit the rim when the game is on the line. (and it's not just this game)

 

[HndsmCelt]

Ok , im sorry im just pist.. he gives up the 2 points on the other end and he just bricks two shots... sigh.... im sorry..

Hey we all get pissed it's cool. Lest all take adeep breath then look for the bright lites (and tehre were some) in the game and move on.

I agree...I don't think that was a play...btw, I could've sworn kings had a 20 sec. timeout left.

 

[Rockmeister]

Reading all these post, you guys think that being 6th seed is BAD. Ok, who would you rather face in the 1st round of the Playoffs? Seattle? Spurs? Phoenix? Dallas? My choice = Seattle.

 

[natedizzle]

He got the same look he did against Memphis. One he hit BTW

Bibby's shot was a heave. Peja's was too. IMHO neither had a great chance of going in.

I was really hoping he would work on his game LAST summer..

 

[KingKong]

Can we take Golden State?

If the Kings weren't sleepwalking during the first half, we take them easily. GS has nothing to lose and were just hot tonight. The playoffs wil be a different story.

 

[LMM]

bad news: the warriors is one of 9 teams that have already walked away with a victory at arco this year. and richardson will continue to burn us until we do simething about it.

come on kings!

 

[piksi]

He got the same look he did against Memphis. One he hit BTW

We had 8 seconds more that in that game to run something better, put a double screen so that Mike at least can see the basket. With 11 sec to go You have got to get a better shot than we did

 

[ImaKingsFan]

I agree...I don't think that was a play...btw, I could've sworn kings had a 20 sec. timeout left.

They did...

 

[Andriod_KiNg]

Well seeding doesnt matter.. we will win our first round no matter who we are playing... we just have to stay in the playoffs..

 

[Rockmeister]

I agree...I don't think that was a play...btw, I could've sworn kings had a 20 sec. timeout left.

Instead of blaming Peja for taking that last shot, why don't you blame Adelman for not taking that timeout? <I'm not bashing Adelman, just trying to make a point>

 

[ace]

when it matters most peja chokes.PERIOD!!!
