Random thoughts about the Kings

have you seen bibby on the side lines ever in a suit? when he isnt playing???

that is what I am talking about. will he be there tuesday? I dont think so!
 
Have I seen Bibby on the sidelines when he wasn't playing?

Yes.

Next question...
 
I took some time to get my password back, usually I just read up around here but I thought I'd chime in and drop my 2 cents. First of all, this is hilarious. Not just how awful our squad is, but the discussions lately. Not that they're bad or anything, they just crack me up. "Start Reggie Theus at PG!", "Our big guys can't catch balls", it's just so funny. Anyway, I hope you are all aware that something has got to be in the works as we speak. I'm talking about a major trade. Because first of all, the Maloofs and GP have never came out and stated clearly that they're rebuilding. They are actually trying to win basketball games, which makes this situation even sadder. But yes, something is going to get done over the course of the next few weeks involving some of our key players.

Lastly, the ONLY bright spots thus far have been JOHN SALMONS and KEVIN MARTIN.

1. Francisco is a good energy guy, but he is too clumsy. Goes wild at times and is very turnover prone, tries to do too much and takes bad shots. I say use him as bait for a trade, an add-in.
2. Mikki moore flat out sucks. If you disagree, tell me why he's good and I'll literally give you 20 dollars if you change my mind about this guy. He can't hit layups, he can't catch a ball, he's ugly, he's overpaid, why the hell is he on this basketball team? Do people come here to suck nowadays or what, because as long as we have guys like Kenny Thomas, Mikki Moore, Quincy Douby (who has been playing like garbage), and Orien Greene (he's just ok, but still eehhhh he hasnt been playing well either) that's what were gonna be like. :) :(

and KEVIN is not a go-to guy, he's just not that type of player. he scores in a 2nd or 3rd option role. either that or he needs to stop being scared and TAKE OVER GAMES! shooting under 50% is unusual for him, and he's in the low 40's, understandably so without a PG but here we are thinking that he's only going to get better and improve. (without ron and mike)

He needs more experience and he needs as you said, ron and mike. So far Kevin's stats have mainly be very flat... He has led all the games in scoring but that's not the point. He can be the first option, but in the games so far the ball hasn't exactly been in his hands much. Much meaning Kobe much. But that's what needs to be done if we have any shot at winning without guys who can actually score. Of course it'd also help if we had Bynum... who after today is in no way a "mediocre center". 19 min - 9 reb 15 pts but 6 PF. Still beats our frontcourt...

Mikki still hustles and has a good attitude. Maybe he just needs to get his goove back...

Yes, it would be very nice if he could return to something similiar to who is in those clips. From what I saw from the clips he seems to be best when given the ball from a cutter to the basket. The problem this year is when anyone breaking down the defense dishes off to him, he can't catch the ball to save his life. It's pretty sad.

What i noticed is that they actually have a pass first PG in Jason Kidd and he knows how to hit the open man (on back cuts and such). And who is our PG right now, we dont have one. I put bibby as the worst passing PG in the league. But he can obviously score, i wont take that away from him.
So with that being said, I Say we ship bibby to boston for rondo (and whatever else works out) who isnt known as a scorer but can play defense and is long.

Startin 5
PG- Rondo
SG-Martin
SG-Salmons
PF-Artest/Miller
C-Miller/Hawes

Bench- Cisco, KT, Moore

That sort of thing is always in play now, but unfortunately the C's basically scraped up every available salary to piece togetehr their Big Three, and it would almsot impossible for them to scrape toether enough extra to land Bibby as well (nor would we likely want most of the scrapings if they could).
 
Why do Sar, Hawes, Ron artest, garcia, beno all go to games when they are injured, not playing.....and mike never has! where is the support? I mean if you are the leader, support your team. I think it is a classy thing to do.
I have rarely ever seen Bibby not there, when he is injured. He didn't travel with the team, becasue he'd just injured his thumb and had surgery. The pressurization in an airplane wreaks havoc on relatively new injuries. It can cause them to swell up like a a balloon and cause severe pain. Unless it's some real emergency, it just does not make medical sense to fly so soon after surgery.

Mikki has looked awful with and without Mike and before he played with Kidd he was never good before either. I'd say he's just that bad and Kidd just makes players that good.
 
ok. seriously, stop feeding kenny thomas in the post. he makes 1 jump hook and we're feeding him like he's duncan. same goes for miller.took the liberty of posting a photo for some of you who havent seen a kings game yet.

now THAT'S kings defense. look at the concentration. its amazing. 32 teams in the league and we are dead last. luck of the irish pub. as i stated a million times, you can talk about improving the defense all day long, but if there is no improvement on the court then guess what.....
kenny thomas is averaging a whopping 2 rebounds a game. he gets more rebounds than points.(( he averages .7 by the way)). who else in the NBA averages .7 a game? who in high school basketball averages .7 a game? put in watkins. just a few of my random thoughts

Picture taken Nov. 6, 2007 from section 224. If you look, you'll see MIKE BIBBY on the sidelines in a suitjacket and slacks at the end of the bench. In case you can't figure it out, he's the one with the humongous cast on his left hand.

Are you sure he was in slack? It looked like he was wearing jeans and his shirt was not tucked in. The sports jacket was nice tho.
 
It could have been jeans, but I thought it was slacks. The point was it WAS Mike Bibby.
 
I am not going to lie, I was shocked last night when I saw him. you have to admit watching other teams stars always on the bench when injured, yet never mike. besides last night. GO KINGS

Considering he's almost never been out injured, when was he not on the bench while injured, other than this last road trip (which was easy to explain)? The only other time I remember him being out injured was early 02/03 when he broke his foot and I distinctly remamber Bibby being at the games, crutches and all. :confused: I really want to know.

I couldnt agree with you anymore now that i think about it. those clips were probably taken throughout Mikki's career. i guess its not to hard to put together a highlight tape. lol

It doesn't hurt that the SG slashing to the basket passes the ball to him when the double team comes.

Nope. Wrong. Mike hasn't been absent from the bench when he was injured UNLESS he was in the practice facility getting treatment. Sorry, but you not noticing him doesn't make him not there, if you catch my drift.

There were times, of course, when he was injured with his foot and obviously wasn't going to travel with the team, but he has been in attendance at Arco.
 
Random Thoughts , -John Salmons should start on this team he has the abilities to do everything, once there are set roles I would love to see John stay at SF or PG with Garcia off the bench.
-We need to get a young PF like Warrick,T.Thomas ect
-Artest will be traded this season, or should be.
-When Williams & Hawes returns they should get minutes over Reef and Thomas.
-D.Rose looked very good in his Memphis Debut " 17pts,5 rebs, 6ast"
-im tired and bored at 3 in the morning blaaa!
 
Not Maloof bashing but...

I do not like the way they treat

Chris Weber and Rick Adelman!

I think "from what I know as a fan" Rick adelman is a standup guy, and doesnt deserve the cold shoulder! There should have been a tribute video when the rockets came not a maloof no show.

Retiring the jersey's will happen at some point. CWebb may still play this year so you need to give it time when it comes to him. I suspect that the Vlade honor would be sooner rather than later.....

I'd really like to know what the personal relationship was with the Maloof's and Adelman. Could be worse than what was put in the paper or could be nothing. How do you put a video tribute on the screen for a coach....especially Adelman? Shots of him with the stone face or shots of him whining to the official?
