Mavs @ Kings Game Thread

[PurpleHaze]

Garcia.

Beno/Martin/Salmons/Moore/Miller

I like that starting line-up on most nights. I think having Artest, Bibby, and Garcia coming off the bench is not a bad idea. What a nice problem to have! The bottom line is, who starts is never as important as who gets the minutes and who is on the court in crunch time. Clearly, Johnny and Kevin have to be on the court at the end of tight games.

Garcia.

Beno/Martin/Salmons/Moore/Miller

Its the logical move of course. Except that Cisco just scored 22 for the third night in a row himself and carried us for stretches of this one.

Whooooooooooooooooooooeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! That was fun! I was yelling so loud, I was afraid the neighbors might call the cops!

Beating the Mavs feels as good as beating the Lakers (well almost ).

And with that loss, Dallas goes from first to fifth in the west! Thanks.

 

[Variant]

Definitely a nice problem to have... just hopefully no one gets miffed and decides to air their dirty laundry.

And when everyone comes back (after 3 games back at full strength):

Starters
Bibby/Martin/Artest/Salmons/Miller

Bench
Beno/Garcia/Moore/Douby/Jones/Hawes/Williams/Thomas

Is it me or is it time to start exploring our options with Bibby and/or Artest? With our wing players developing, isn't it time to package one of these guys with KT for a shotblocking/rebounding presence?

yes

seriously try harder to swing the artest for lee deal...then i say keep bibby for the rest of the season and try to draft a pointguard or see what might be floating around by the trade deadline

Rumor in the Cleveland papers is that we've been trying to move a Bibby/KT package, but that the Cavs want no part of KT.

Petrie is desperate to move one or both of them. He's looking to get exactly what you want - what all Kings fans want - except the few who somehow think Bibby and/or Artest are in our long-term plans.

Well petrie has a month and a bit, hes running out of time. A defensive rebounding power foward would be nice but I dont want Petrie to give in and trade Artest & Bibby for less value then they are worth, they are too good.

Great game. What is so good about lee?

 

[NewArena]

Had to watch this game at Lampost Pizza but still went crazy, What a **** win for us. One of the best games i HAVE EVER watched with the kings involved. Who says Martin doesnt want to take big shots? wow, the only thing he needs to improve is picking up his dribble too early.
Beno shot too much and forced things, and Salmons and Garcia were amazing as well. And even more good news? Bibby and Artest coming back wednesday.

 

[Entity]

getting back to the game. Martin and Salmons were great but, did anybody notice how well Garcia played defense on Dirk? He was guarding Dirk alot and kept him pushed out and in check for the most part.

 

[Kingzrool]

the Cavs want no part of KT.

But why? He has been great lately. Theus has clearly been showcasing his better side.

I noticed it big time and mentioned it earlier in this threat during live action. I basically said Cisco was shutting down Dirk as good as Artest could on a good night if he'd been in uniform.

hes become such a good defender, cant wait to pair him with ron..

Mikki Moore: 11 pts, 8.4 reb per 40.
David Lee: 14.4, 11.9 per 40.

So... 40% more productive. And cheaper. And much younger.

Besides, we're talking Knicks. Who else on that team would you really want?

There was one up the street from me. Southern California, even.

I usually love giving credit/love to Kevin and Cisco, but I have to respect Salmons. I've been pretty hard on him this year but he did pretty good tonight. What an awesome and fun game. Loved it! Great Fan atmosphere and the Kings were just awesome together, all that chest bumpin and hugging, pounding on each other was great.

Ra.Ra.Sis.Boom.Bah

I know that we're not going to win a championship or even make the playoffs but I love supporting this team.

 

[VF21]

Wow. This thread is great! I'm watching the replay of the game right now - and it's every bit as exciting the second time around. I was working while I watched it the first time and it's probably a good thing. I don't know if I could have even pretended to be coherent for the PBP by the time it was over.

Star-mart... I like it.
