Peja almost cost us the game

[somdave2005]

That last second loose ball should have been his and he gets outhustled by Rick Brunson. Game would have been over, but instead LA scores on a layup to take the lead. What the ****!

Corey Maggette gets stripped of the ball and he starts running downcourt instead of going for the loose ball. What the ****!

Does he have "loser intangibles" or is he just a dumbass soft player with loads of talent?

IT WAS the pass not Peja...

yes and no.

^i tend to agree with that as well

i think i was cursing both Kenny and Peja out pretty equally..ha

Maybe Peja should have gotten to that ball, but the pass NEVER should have been made.

I almost wonder if Thomas was afraid to shoot the free throws that would have resulted after the Clippers fouled him, and he just wanted the ball out of his hands. I hope not. I'll just keep thinking it was just a really stupid (and hopefully one-time) play.

^^Agreed.

The pass was questionable, and so was peja's half-*** attempt at a hussle, so no blaming one guy, lets blame them both.

But that near-mistake did make the game more exciting for everyone, so......WE WON!! Mistakes or not, that's all that matters-

-but if we'd lost, you can guarentee I'd be cursing two players names, and one of those wouldn't have been the final shooter.

That pass never should have been made... but it looked like Peja definitely had the better shot at it... reminds me of the game a few years back against Dallas when the ball was poked away and Peja let Nash pass him to get the ball and hit the winning trey. Peja's not a hustler, and if he's not going to hit his shots either... what's he out there for?

it was not a good pass and Pedja did not do a lot to try and get it either (eg throw his body at the ball)

As tempting as it is for some fans to focus anger/disapointment on Pedja based on the loss of Webber I suggest it is not productive for the team or fans. We have a good team and EVERY player on it could use encouragement and support from their fans, just as ever palyer deserved support BEFORE the trade.

Pedja needs and will get some individual attnetion from the coaching staff, but I WANT to see him come out and play good ball. I hate to see any KING booed.

I agree!! Thomas should had held the ball. I think Pedja also didn't know Thomas was going to pass?

But that last possesion mention above...it's both Thomas and Pedja's fault. More of Thomas' fault though (should had held ball).

Thomas was stupid for throwing that pass...but that ball was clearly Peja's for the taking if he had even exerted an ounce of effort. What a loser... Wish Petrie would have traded Mr. Shrinking Nut Sac for Maggette in addition to the Webber trade. That would have been sweet.

 

[iheartBrad]

^no need for name calling

 

[piksi]

"almost" is just fine with me

 

[SacTownKid]

Shouldn't have passed but it certainly SHOULD'NT have been a turnover. Where is Peja Stojakovic and what has this impersonater done with him???

Peja was WIDE open!! On the long view from the basket you see Peja should have had that ball!!!

 

[SacTownKid]

Also don't forget that HUGE block by Kenny. If that dunk would have gone in we may not have even been in a situation to win the game!!

I agree totally I hope for this to all end soon. We must be all unified booing your own players is reserved for Philly fans.

true but peja also let kaman grab that rebound and get the put back after that block.... he was right there and didnt even try.... he just looked up at kaman as he grabbed the ball and got an easy shot....

Yes no need of name calling.

What dunk? If you are inventing a situation where Pedja catches the pass and then dunks you realy need to put the chronic down and step away from the pipe! Regardless the Kings were up by one already in a game wining situation all Kenny had to do was hold on to the ball, and get it to a gaurd. to bring down court.
