If he didn't make that lay-up everyone would've said Reke wasn't clutch. Right? So it's basically a lose lose situation for Reke, and also was it Reke's fault we lost in overtime like that? IMO it was a team loss. But hey what do I know I don't work for ESPN so i'm no expert.yeah, you really cant use the the cavs game as an example of him being clutch when he didnt score anything in overtime.... they wouldve been better off losing in regulation than going scoreless in overtime while ilgauskas hits three pointer after three pointer.... after three pointer....

Those two shots amount to 4 points lol. We lost by 13. If anything your calling Big Z clutch? Right?
Just got back from the Kings game. Man, what a great game to attend. And that last shot by Tyreke was awesome!!! I was so happy to see Brockman get the start tonight.
It is the same. It was a clutch game tying lay-up with Lebron James defending him. The kid didn't lose his cool and took it to the hole without any hesitance. The Over-time on the other hand was a different story.
youre telling me that what z did wasnt clutch? if he had missed those shots he wouldve looked stupid. so evans makes a layup then lays an egg in overtime he is clutch but z hits 3 three pointers in a row in overtime he wasnt clutch? if anyone hits three 3pt shots in overtime is a clutch performance... if only for one night he was clutch...
Why are you dwelling on the negatives of Reke when we just won the game?Seriously let it go.
He was terrible in the clutch last time out not shaky. Ballhogging trying to embarass his opponent instead of trying to win a game. Also add to that the failures of the cavs. Although he also did hit some big shots too I'll give him that.
He's is STILL a rookie and acts like one sometimes. He still needs to learn a lot about the game so way to early to put on pink glasses on.
I'm sort of amused by all this desire to soft peddle Reke's game winning shots. Do me a favor and start running through the list of Sacramento Kings players and their last second game winning shots. Then compare how many of them there are compared to a rookie barely past his second month in the NBA. The Kings finally have that special player who can win games when it counts and a line forms to nit pick his game. I suppose the same thing happens to all special players. But stop for a moment and consider that you are using a mighty tall stick to measure our rookie. When did you ever think that would happen?
Tyreke is clutch!!! All you naysayers must be smoking illegal stuff and be watching the wrong game or something
Love the Rookies!

He does that not only in the crunch but also during the course of the games sometimes. That's ballhogging nothing else really.Ballhogging? I sure as hell don't call it ballhogging when Tyreke is doing exactly as the coach has asked. Westphaul has reiterated that on several occasions.

great game and i'm so glad i got to see it live. got exciting (and scary) at the end but happy the kings pulled through in a close game. also happy my own little streak is still alive. 4 kings games attended = 4 kings games won
6th if you read this, thanks again for hooking up the forum members with discounted tix.

Because if we had Rubio, it never would have turned into a close game.
You might want to get a handle on all the strawmen you throw out there.
Props to Tyreke on the shot. I didn't get to see the game, so I can't comment much. Nice to win finally.
lol when did I say I distate Tyreke?! He's probably my 2nd fav player on the Kings.Your distaste for Tyreke has your vision skewed, IMO. When a young player with all the qualities of a super-star plays the way the coach wants him to play (throughout the freakin game)(because the coach is teaching him to be the super-star player he is expected to become) well then, that is on the coach. You can call him a ball-hog all you want, but you'd be wrong.
This game sucked. Evans shouldn't have taken that shot. He should have gotten the ball to Omri for the game winner. Bench him until he understands.sarcasm
I was waiting for someone to post something like this. Especially after some of the post last night.
