[Game] Sacramento Kings vs Lakers 4/13/11 Game Thread BELIEVE

[Mad D]

Fisher has apparently been traded to the Kings

 

[rainmaker]

Great game. Strong finish to the season.

 

[nickmcclure]

lame.

 

[ArcoKings]

This totally sucks. The Kings should have won. Why didn't they foul Kobe before he shot the 3 to tie?

 

[est.1999]

Unfu**ingbelievable. We could have forced the lakers into a first round matchup with Portland followed by no home court in the second round and ofcourse we can't hold a 3 point lead against the POS's. Ugh, god damn it I hate these lakers.

 

[Kings Faithful]

Sorry, folks, but I'm not complaining. We played a great game. Came from 20 down. We all want more I suppose.

Hey, don't make me out to be a bad guy. How can you argue? Coming so close only to get screwed.... thats the Sacramento Kings. My love for the team is unquestionable and I wouldn't trade our history for any other teams....but thats what the Kings history is.

 

[fiction916]

honestly, I kept feeling that a tragic ending would be most fitting--somehow maybe it is.

 

[Henkel]

I have been saying it all season. You have to question the way Evans plays the game. He just plays a selfish style of ball. Hes young and talented, but he has some major holes in his game that he needs to be addressed if he wants to take that next step.

Proud of the fans out there at ARCO. They showed up and were a huge part of that run.

 

[Arco Thunder]

Now I'm really crying... Just seeing those fans with the players on the court right now........

 

[Mad D]

Grant and Jerry in tears

 

[Arco Thunder]

this is too much.

 

[Rockmeister]

Just seen Jerry and Grant get all teary eyed.

 

[=LarryLegend=]

Evans and Thornton are the main reasons why it was a game. coming back from 20 down. sucks. but I am not made at any of our players.

 

[D-Mass]

That video was rough. Really good...but rough.

 

[Arco Thunder]

they can't take them away from us. The Maloofs have to hold on and little longer. Please.

 

[king07]

A fitting end to the season--and perhaps the Sacramento Kings. I think I'm done with basketball in general.

Agreed 100%. The NBA has become a joke the past decade or so. Maybe I'll become a huge Sac State fan. At least they will never move.

G-Man did on the radio side, which is kinda like learning that your dad cries.

Without messing with any of our copyright stuff, does anyone have a link or a recording that could be shared of G-man signing off?

THIS TEAM NEEDS A COACHING CHANGE AND A CITY CHANGE STAT!!!! the nightmare continues.... we will always have the good memories but in the end at least for me the good has been overshadowed by the bad... a team that could never do it... and we can always reminisce about losing tonight in another game we should have won...

maybe in anaheim this team can take advantage of being in a successful city and finally sign a real player or two and will finally be able to beat LA... when it counts

*sniffs post* Yeah chief, this one's ban-worthy. Hot 'em.

 

[sactownfan]

f you!

no forget your stupid city for letting them walk... sacramento shot down the Kings left and right... the maloofs are trying to survive... and Anaheim is throwing money to bring them in....

dont blame me for whats obvious.... and while were speaking about obvious... The OC is gonna attract serious talent... no more fixer up'ers just to land a star.... the Royals are going to be able to out right contend for a thru and thru star all the way.... via free agency ... unheard of right?

 

[Mad D]

Yeah, because being the third wheel will really pull in the free agents.

Also, way to come in here and pee on the coffin.

The Kings were up by 3 with less than 10 seconds to go - Lakers ball.

Everyone in the world knew that Kobe was going to take the shot - and probably make a 3 ptr, and it would be tied.

Everyone, apparently, except the Kings coaches and players.

Kobe did not receive the inbounds pass - Pao Gasol did.

Why he wasn't IMMEDIATELY hacked and held, I will go to the grave not knowing.
The Kings allowing Kobe to receive the pass almost guaranteed a loss in the most important game of the season.

If the future of the Kings is anything like the past, and like the present - with all sincerity, I think it is better for me that they leave the city.
I cannot abide rooting for this stupid of team anymore.
This game has crystallized things like no other event could possibly have made this clear -

The Kings embody the spirit of trying hard, coming from behind, and ultimately failing because of self-induced tragic flaws.

 

[sactownfan]

who really wants to live in LA when you can live in OC... newport, Laguna, Irving, anaheim hills???? with southern california weather.... its gonna be real hard signing people up to live here

Let me take a wild guess, you're a Miami Heat fan on the side.

there's something tragic in following this team, that's what makes it worthwhile.

 

[Kings Faithful]

If it meant keeping the Kings in Sacramento, I would take losing for the rest of eternity over letting them leave. Sacramento Kings forever.

I haven't posted here in a very long time, mostly because I have been insanely busy with school and with work. I've even missed a number of games this season for the same reasons. But i couldn't believe what I just read. Sure.. we're entitled to our own opinion. But i sincerely feel as if I've lost something tonight. I am not even near Sacramento for the majority of the year and I am still able grasp the significance of losing this team. I fell in love with this team when I was 9 years old. To think they're gone hurts more than I thought it could. At least have a heart and use some common sense and realize that your comments may not be appropriate to fans who are hurting tonight.
