Kings @ Wizards Game Thread

Man we almost blew this game. Remember when we were doing so good last month, then we went on a 5 game winning streak and screwed our season? Gosh. Its a good thing they pulled out the big L tonight. only 19 more to hope for! Go Kings!

Wow, it's amazing how many ways the Kings find to lose close games.

 

[PixelPusher]

I am not upset at all......nope, not at all.

1. Kings gave us exciting basketball (which is why I watch the game).
2. Kings still have pride (I like that too).
3. We still get a game closer to a decent pick.

Normally, I hate to lose, but losing will do better for us in the long run right now. If they entertain me, and put up a fight, even if they lose, I am a happy camper. I LOVE THIS GAME! I LOVE THIS TEAM!!

Kudos to RonRon for his clutch dead ball foul before the inbounds.

 

[Mnemosyne]

didn't watch the game, but heard the radio broadcast...i remember hearing gary gerould (during the second quarter?) confused that the clock was running even before the inbounds pass. i vaguely remember. i don't think anything was done about it too.

anyway, the most exciting game i've listened to so far. i love kmart's stat line...it appears he focused in on filling it up---a big improvement from his game against boston when all he did was score and nothing else---cool.

Man I am sick of this. I love people openly rooting against us. Root for the team to do well, and let the ping pong business sort itself out at the end of the season. The lottery has been won by the team with the least chance of winning it before, and has been won only a few times by the team with the worst record. Knowing the Kings, we will end up with the 6th worst record, and then watch the team with the 7th worst record win the lottery...

The point is that all of this means nothing. It is very unlikely that 54 losses vs. 52 losses is the difference between Oden or not Oden. For all we know, we are going to be wishing we had pulled a few more games out, and had the 7th worst record not the 6th, because that will be the lucky team.

Just root for your team and shut up with the negative crap about how winning a game is ruining our chances at long term success...

Wow If someone told me that
Ron would get 32pts
Bibby would get 30 pts
brad would get 13 rebs
I would think we would win the game for sure . Man do we ever need to rebuild nothing against how we played though; because we played with heart. It is just that we not a good team(wrong mixture of players and coaches)

 

[gunks]

K-Mart!

Miller, Artest, and Bibby played well but how about Martin fillin up the stat sheet?

14 pts, 5 rebs, 6 assists, 3 stls, and 2 blocks!

Kinda a radical difference from his last game of 22 pts and 0 everything else (but TOs).

Yes, it was great to see that from Kevin. Hopefully he keeps it up. To me it would indicate another step forward for Kevin.

AMEN BROTHER!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Vlade4GM]

we need to lose if we're going to make up for the failure of petrie. BRING ON THE PING PONG BALLS!

 

[KingsChick]

YES sir.

Oh, stop!!! Hope for losses if you must. While I don't get upset with losses, I cannot out and out cheer for them.

You want to be upset at the lack of a trade, go ahead, but that does not necessarily mean Petrie is a failure.

The Kings....

are the Kings of close losses this year. They have lost 11 games this year by five points or less. =(

No.













Notice how in my response I managed to express my own opinion, without even attempting to tell you how to properly express yours?

 

[Circa_1985_Fan]

Yup, exactly...just good enough to ALMOST win. If we would have won half the games that we lost by 5 points or less, we'd be at least a .500 team...and thats saying that we were only competent to win only half of those...we wouldnt be having this discussion about our 'square pegs'...but hey, ish happens, and everything happens for a reason, and I have to think that Petrie and the Maloofs are thinking about this summer, obviously, because I doubt they care about this year, by their actions today...and this whole season, for that matter.

 

[NikateeN]

I just now got to see the game, i was working for the live showing, and i have to say it was a great game, the one things that killed us is free throws, and if i was muss i would setup a 10 hour nothing but free throw practice...that beeing said, what an exciting game.
