EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Mikki Moore walked down the hall to rejoin his Kings teammates Tuesday night in the Izod Center, his forlorn expression not reflecting the otherwise satisfied mood of his teammates after a rare road win.

Eh...I'm not looking too much into this, Mikki isnt Tony Massenburg, or anything. He's obviously frustrated at himself more than anything else...and he said it himself, alot of him not getting the ball or getting his shots during the 'slump' had to do with Beno's inabilities due to injuries. Mikki isnt Kenny Thomas, I dont think.

"It's nice to get the win, but I expected more from our coaching staff," Moore said. "You can write that, because I told them that on the bench. I said, 'It was nice to get the "W", but I just expected too much of y'all.'"
I want to know what that means though. It was further down in the article.

That kind of concerns me. What did he mean by that statement? He expected more from who? Did he want more plays drawn for him? Moore is not our 1st/2nd/3rd or 4th option on the floor. He is our 5th option.

He is not even my 5th option.

I thought Slamson was our 5th option?? Seriously though, Mikki just needed to vent and was frustrated with his own play and not getting the ball enough, thats all...but I could be wrong, I guess...

LOL... So true.. Of the five players on the floor I think the option are as follows.. WHEN ALL PLAYERS ARE HEALTHY, and teh starting lineup is Bibby/Martin/Artest/Miller/Moore
1. Martin (remember when I got hazed for saying this lol)
2. Bibby
3. Artest
4. Miller
5. Artest again (since he always wanted to be a #1 or #2 I will put him as #1 second time around)
6. Martin again
7. Bibby again
8. Miller again
9. Martin again
10. SLAMSON
11. Drunk guy that has floor seats
12. Maloofs (when they are attending)
13. FINALLY MIKKI MOORE!

I do not understand his 'I expected more from our coaching staff' either.

hahahaha!
Fine, just don't vent to the media. I for one have lost even more respect for the guy. Way to have a positive attitude about the second road win.

Well this seems to be the Kings curse, when things go well we have to fall back into the negative. Ironically I was going to write a thread today about the Kings improvement and future hopes, a point I was going to make was how perhaps Mikki Moore wasn't a bad signing after all as he seems to be a LEADER on this team that lacks one. I was impressed on how he is the first to congratulate a teammate who does well and at the same time get in a teammate's face who isn't giving his full effort...we all know that Mikki does give his all every night.
These comments come out of nowhere and after a win of all times. This team is in a position to actually have a winning long road trip, something that I felt was impossible and now Mikki starts complaining?
Hopefully this disappears and I don't see Mikki as a guy who will pout. The way the Kings have played and with injuries I feel the coaching staff has been very impressive.

And the problem with articles like this?
Check out Amick's later disclaimer ...
I don't know about anyone else, but that sure sounds like Amick backpedalling to me.

It's a shame the headline writers obviously don't communicate whatsoever with the people actually writing the stories. This isn't the first time something like this has happened in the Bee - and I'm willing to bet the farm it won't be the last.

Amick wrote the first article poorly and left all kinds of things unsaid. The headline writer went berserk probably because he didn't understand what was up. Then Amick clarifies what the issue was and says in so many words it wasn't a big deal in the grand scope of things.
I am hoping Moore clarifies things. I wish he hadn't sought out Amick. I wish Amick hadn't written the article in such a bizarre fashion. Sam apparently got a lot of notes (including mine) ripping apart Mikki and backed off appropriately.
And VF21, it's "bet the farm" and not "be the farm."

Oops.
I should have waited until my house warmed up before starting to type.
