[HndsmCelt]

I hope VF21 had fun at the game Good win. Go Kings!!!

Can yo honsetlyh immagine her NOT having fun at a game like this?

 

[piksi]

:: shrugs ::

He's had worse... At least he was decent from the line.

[21:19] <Citrus> You know, when Webber shoots 5-6 at the line, that's *supposed* to be a *good* sign...

sadly, You are correct in both counts.

 

[piksi]

Lets go bucks !

Not really. I feel bad for people that saw the Sunday's game in comparison to this one.

 

[AriesMar27]

we won...... not only that but bibby almost has a triple double and the bobcats beat the pistons. gerald had 17 points, 8-14 shooting.... i wish we still had him on the team, damn you anthony peeler.

 

[Heuge]

Very proud of the Kings tonight (all but one). They won "despite" and not "because." Can not wait for postgame quotes

Do you and Peja16 rout against Webber? It seems like you're happy when he does not suceed.

 

[Heuge]

We had a good bench tonight.

 

[piksi]

Not at all. I just want Kings to win. Whatever it takes. Webber has played well for all but 3 games this season. He has been phenomenal in couple of them. Not tonight. CW has great passing skills. When shot is not on why force it. That is either EGO or bad judgement. He is way too talented for 3-17.
I do not even want to start about RA.

 

[piksi]

Why is it "sad" that he went 5/6 at the line?

I was referin on both statements - not the 5/6 stat

That is good to hear.

 

[bibbyweb]

Bibby was pretty close to a triple double. Hope Webber finds his shot soon. Good game from other aspects.

 

[piksi]

:: yawns ::

And two games ago, we did, in fact, win "because." What's your point? I mean, it's certainly fair to say that Webber had a horrible night, but let's not go off the deep end, shall we?

In my statement I was refering more to RA.

 

[fakie]

ahh, i guess the expectations rises when the team is doing well.

just a few weeks ago we'd be busy celebrating this kinda performance from our players.

i say some people are going to have good nights and some not. it's okay because they are supposed to carry each other anyway.

 

[LMM]

rockets shoot 52% from the field (overall)
42% from the 3pt arc

kings were at 46% overall
33% from the arc

it's great that we had the win

 

[piksi]

Well LAL - You are next

 

[sactownballer]

We now get to face our rivals , the Fa...Lakers. This is going to be an interesting game since Divac should be healthy and play.

i thought there was no more rivalry

 

[zip95843]

From the news: "Houston played without starting point guard Charlie Ward, a last-minute scratch with a sore right knee."

Aren't you ashame to win over severely depleted team?

 

[sactownballer]

I feel really ashamed. If they would have had Charlie Ward in the game, we would have been blown out.

 

[piksi]

Let's go Bucks

 

[fakie]

well, the kings has proven over the past couple of games that they are really fighting. i know the scores were close, but i think if the rockets played better than they did tonight the kings would have found a way to counter it.

i am really proud of my boys tonight.
and i know it's not webb's best night, but he really has earned my respect.

GO KINGS!

GAME 2 after Ron Artest - ( Yeah I know )

Theme of the game is PAY BACK.

Kings will win without overtime tonight

EXPECTATIONS

CW - will share some PG duties - he will grab a rebound , bring the ball up all the way to the top of the key, stop and miss a jumper at least 2 times tonight. Also he will end up with another tripple double if Mike and Pedja shoot + 50 %.

Pedja - will have a tripple double on his own in the first half. +10 pts 3 rb ( hence tripple) and 2 assists ( hence double). He will not do so in the second half because that would mean 6 rb total and that is just not Pedja. He will go to the line in the first half tonight.

Mike - will not guard Lue/Ward tonight (his night off defensively). He will outscore both of them together. He will hit his FT tonight. He will also hit at least 3 threes

DC - for hime the theme of the night is "Tuesday's poker night" He will have a "straight draw" type of game 9 pts, 8 reb, 7 assists, 6 steels, 5 fouls and 4 TO's. He will not fight Rick Fox tonight.

Brad - his pride got hurt badly last game. He was outfouled by Pedja 5 to 1. Tonight he will make sure that the order is restored. He will have 3 PF in the first half. He will also hit a three.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bobby - he is currently playing "hide and seak" with his game. He will take and make a shot in his first posession in the game. It will be all downhill from there



Darius will be Darius again



Ostertag - he had a great game on Sunday. Currently his pts / PF ration is 0.8/1.9 per game. Tonight he will have more PF than minutes played. He will also have more PF than PTS and REB combined.

Rest of the nameless bench - please stay where You are.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

RA will manage again to sit Pedja, CW and Mike at the same time. In the 2nd quarter our five on the floor will consist of Bobby, DC, Ostertag, Darius, and whatever name is of that other guy. - our lead will rapidlly decrease
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Charlie Ward will not beat us again tonight.

V Gundy will have to call an early time out after a Kings 10-0 run. He will look shocked - or whatever that look is. He will also lose some hair (ups, never mind that one).
One of the Houston Players will have career night
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bucks will win tonight

Ahh, don't be too hard on yourself, 11/26 beats 3/17!

But shame on you for the Peja triple double since he only had a double double, but he did play good D on TMac!

KK!

I think I'm a piksimist, I should go back and steal your line/explanation for my sig.

I went out on a big limb with that one

 

[Evenstar]

WOO HOO kings win!!!

man did it SUCK being up here in OR, no radio, no TV, i had to run and check online every 10 minutes. i'm SO happy we won!!!! it put a cap on a good day

alright the bench finally showed up!!!! WOOOOOOO d-song is great, ainge really got fleeced there. haha even tag stepped it up. i'm still concerned about bobby's shot, but it sounds like it's coming back. i hope it's there vs the lakers/timberwoofs.

WOOT WOOT bibby only a rebound and 2 assits away from his 2nd career triple double. impressive. i can't wait for the crab dance friday vs the lakers

webber, oh webber webber. hahah it was funny listening to the negative webber people go back and forth with the positive webber people in the thread i nearly dropped the phone when it said 3-16, but it makes me happy in a way : he'll kick some butt vs the lakers *evil grin*

WTG KINGS!!!!!!! i can't wait for friday's showdown vs showtime in LALA land.

 

[SaCTowNFeveR]

Just got back from the game (btw vf21 did you enjoy the game ) and it was great. A lot of cheering, loud cheering especially in the 4th quarter when it came down to crunch time. BoJax with his 3's and Songaila making his shots tonight really helped them.... felt like a playoff game
