BEAT LA !!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just something to warm up

it is great material - isn't it ?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
On January 19th 2004 just 3 days after blowing out Lakers -
Kings beat Clippers in LA 125 - 100 (71 - 54 at the half)
to improve to 29 - 9 record at that time.
Pedja lead the team with 31/4/5, Mike had 15/5 assists,
Vlade had 15/5/8, DC had 12/3/8/3 and
Brad had 13/8/4. Bobby had 19 of the bench.
Every Kings player scored.

Sacramento recorded assists on 38 of 49 baskets and got 31
points in three quarters from Peja Stojakovic en route to a
125-100 blowout of the Los Angeles Clippers.

Sacramento's success can be credited to the best offense in the
league. The Kings began the day first in points (105.1),
field-goal percentage (47.5), 3-point percentage (39.6) and
assists (26.95) per contest.

"It's tough to beat the best team in the NBA when they shoot
like that,"
Clippers guard Quentin Richardson said.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kings 15 - 21 coming of the best performance of the season
are currently on the 2 game winning streak. Back
at .500 at home, 4-1 in the Pacific which is the
best division record, looking to sweep the
3 game home stand before we hit the road
for a 6 game East coast trip. All this doesn't
matter at the moment because the "enemy is at the gate"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
There should be an amendment in the constitution that it
is a god given right for every Kings fan to hate Lakers
and everything assocciated with. It should be perfectly
fine to despise them, hate them, make fun of them,
boo them etc. Pretty much anything but physical
harm. So I was "doing research" looking for Lakers
fan products and was very disappointed that
all the things that I would be interested in
buying - they don't have.
-Who wouldn't want to have toliet paper
in Lakers colors or with the pictures of their players ?
I would pay extra for "soft" and "double layered."
- Dart boards - would sell great. You put Kobe
or Phil picture on and I am in.
It would be great fun for the whole Kings family. I
t would keep kids of the streets.
- Litter box for You pet - they would be much easier to train
- punching bag - picture a bad day at work
and You come home upset but You still have
all the other things to do. You punch that
bag for only 10 minutes and the world will look better.

If You have any more of these - I am interested
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The rivalry is dead. Say what ? I am pumped up for this game (in case You can't tell).
If You are not - let me help You.
I will give You some clues and let Your mind work with it. Shaq, Kobe, Phill, ARCO
exploding, BEAT LA!!!, Cowbells , Can You hear Yourself think ? Bibby to Webber for the
dunk - Kings up 2-1. Samake Walker, Rober Horry, a sleepless night, Webber's screen,
Fisher is kissing the floor, Bibby for the lead, Another ARCO explosion, Kings 3-2,
Game 6 robbery, Kobe's elbow in Mike's face, Jack Nicholson, Game 7 and all the missed
FTs, "Queens," DC's fist in Foxes face, Tunnel fight... -

Any questions ?


If You still think that this is just one of the 82 games - You can't be helped.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
this should give a smooth transition the next segment which is about things that make
one hates Lakers.

In no Particular order but equally sucky:

Shaq - Kobe, Phill - no further explanation necessary

fan base - when Your biggest fan is crazy Jack and Your other fans are Don Johnson and
Danny DeVito - You should feel sorry for Yourself

referees - best the commissioner can buy

only team that can score during the half time break

silicon valley - no further explanation required

Staples - the home of the Clippers

and many more
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was thinking about listing my favorite Kings victories here but I could not make a
choice. It would be like choosing which kid You like more. ( I don't have kids but I
assume that is what it would feel like). I love them all and I have many on tapes. I
will watch 3 of them to warm up for the game tomorow. I will start with this

Kings have some great fans out there. That makes the recent struggle even more
frustrating. Last 3 home games we had Scott, Hedo and Vlade visiting and they all got
well deseved cheer as a sign of appreciation foe all contributions during the glory
years. It is not that common at all. Example Vlade Divac. He might be the only player
in Lakers uniform that will get ovations in ARCO. That is class right there. And last
night again. Just answers the question - wheather Vlade id a former Lakers center or
the Kings center. Same Vlade Divac went to play for Red Star in the few euroleague
games during the fall of the lockout in 1998. He got booed by Partizan fans - s of
himae fans who made "god" out of him. Same fans - he helped win many titles for.Same
Vlade Divac who played for Lakers was booed in LA and called flopper etc during his
Kings time. Those fans have no class and also are hypocrits. Not the Kings fans. No sir
! Way too much class. To sumerize all this in one sentence - one supports/roots for
Laker vs. one loves Kings.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is a TNT broadcast - so I have to consider 2 different scenarios

a) and of the world scenario - in the beginning of the show CB will say that we will win
and will jinx us (same guy who ruined our season by picking us to win pacific). Then You
have the first game go into double/triple overtime causing us to miss the first half.
Then, Kings play in "gold" and Violet Palmer is the lead official - Kwarme has a career
game, Kings don't win and post game show - who cares

b) Beat LA !!! scenario - CB will say how we suck and so on and so on. First game will be
a blow out. Palmer won't be around. Kobe will "suck" - Kings will play great and blow out
the enemy - Bibby will make fool out of CB again.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The last game was a great medicine and a great motivation for tonight. It was just like
the old times especially with Vlade in the building. Superb game by the starting 5. I
don't care how much Suns defense sucks - You don't score 119 every night even when You
play Kings.
No TDM awards were given and usually in that case Kings win. We need to do this again
sometimes
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LA Kobes next - no intro necessary - they suck
and we hate them - that is a given. First
let's hope that there were no career ending injuries
during the last nights bowling. Every Kings fan knows
that bowling is much more dangerous than sky diving
or bungee jumping. So the questions are How do
we "stop" Kobe (I strongly suggest a complimentary burger
brought up with a Colorado room service and a
jewelry catalog. That should keep him busy) ?
Will Odom get another triple double ? Will
Kwarme have career game ? Will the cowbells
get better of PJ ? Will the Kings repeat the
last performance ? Who can jump less Mihm or Miller ?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bibby - another career night please. Make sure to find KM early. Will struggle defensively
Brad - a triple double against the Lakers
Bonzi/Pedja/SAR - assuming noone plays - get well soon and come back healthy
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
KM - he needs to score 14. He might be in foul trouble considering that he will be called
if he takes a breath close to Kobe
Cisco - will definitely be in foul trouble
KT - couple more of these before the February 23rd please !
Corliss - what else do we have ?
Hart - can he "bother Kobe" ?
Skinner - another 5 minutes PT
Price - probably not
Sampson - hope not.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RA - can he out coach PJ because we sure could use it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lakers have a solid record but they are not better than us - not even with 3 man down.
they do have the best player in the NBA at the moment. TDM award favorite is Kwarme
Brown. Also Vujacic, Cook and Walton might have a slight chance.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BEAT LA !!!

No, it's true - I just raised issue about you making an issue. It's on like a Donkey Kong now. Two words: Milko Djurovski. :D
Absolutely, I never said that we were any better. On the other hand we don't boycott our team. Vlade was just an example. No issue here. Just tried to show how great Kings fans are.

Goran Milojevic, Dejan Tomasevic, Milos Vujanic, Luka Bogdanovic, the list is long.

Man I hate the Lakers! Sniff Sniff Do you smell that?

*Kobe and D-Fish balling their eyes out like women and children on national TV after being run out of the playoffs. Can you imagine Larry Bird or any of the other greats doing something so ridiculous?


--Hahahahahahahahahahhahaha!

Best pre-game post of the year Piksi.

I can only wish teams are still saying that now.

Nice read... GO KINGS! I unfortunatly have to teach a night class, so I will not be logging on untill after I have watched the tape of the game...

So you're in Sacramento, its around 6:30pm, you're Kobe Bryant, where are you? Good 'ol Arden Mall. Yes, thats right me and my friend were stalked by Kobe today----that's our story and we're sticking to it ;) Hey, he did follow us--I mean there was no one between us and him for as we walked about half way throught the mall! :D

All that stuff about Kobe as a person, the guy was nothing but nice to fans, onlookers, gawkers and other people who just wanted to see what people were talking about. He stopped and signed anyone who asked, took pictures that were requested, shook hands the whole nine yards. So, for tonight at least he gets a thumbs up

I seem to recall Peja having some low level success guarding him in the past. But of course that was before this year's Kobe explosion, it remains an incredibly bad physical mismatch, and Peja is coming off a back injury and may still be hampered. I say we probably just let Kevin take a crack at it with his youthful enthusiasm and just mix it up periodically with Peja switching over.

Also, rememebr that with Odom back in his natural SF spot, whoever does not guard Kobe probably has to guard Lamar. And at 6'10" 240lbs Lamar is just too big for Kevin.

I want to see the Kings get off to a good start in the first quarter. usually when they do that they seem to win like the Phoenix game. but then again I maybe wrong especially after what happened in the Memphis game.

Your feeling might be right, which would surprise me. I thought the Kings had played all their "gold" home games but they just showed a teaser and I could swear Kobe had on the Laker white under his warm-up suit.

That just bugs the crap out of me. The idea the Kings will wear the gold and have the Lakers wear white in Arco just seems wrong on so many levels. And makes me want to hurl.
