Brad finished with 16/11 which is like - wow

Should be more like - nice to see that Brad again.

 

[piksi]

so was I and I can't believe that it is happening. Everything is going in.

 

[HighFlyingMonkey]

Well, I happen to think DEREK ROSE might just be better than CP3 in the future... wink wink, nudge nudge...

 

[Jechtsphere]

Brad double digit rebounds!?

That's gotta be a glitch

 

[nebs]

Heh. SAR 1 minute played.

 

[sactownfan]

Hey while we enjoy our first win ! ! ! ......... of a few this year. anyone seen a kevin martin jersey like the black on black Artest one? Im ready to support the Kings.......... youth

 

[diggining]

It's nice seeing the Kings pull even on the rebounds for once...that certainly made a difference in the end-of-game scoreline.

 

[Emma]

Good for them! I know that I am in the minority, but I always like it when we win!

I wanna be the minority (Green Day)

I always like it when we win too! This talk of lins makes me want to become a "lurker" again. Such a buzzkill.

(I recognize that it was mentioned in jest above, denoted by the . I'm just sayin'...)

 

[Circa_1985_Fan]

Heh. SAR 1 minute played.

Hopefully thats the ONLY minute he plays all season

...or one of the signs of the Apocolypse.

If kevin could have that kind of a stat line the rest of the year WOW.

FWI - Kevin was showing off for his mom (and an aunt and uncle) who were visiting from Ohio. j/k He wasn't just showing off. He really is that good.

WOOHOO!!!

Brad was one of the best players on the floor tonight. He fought hard all night long......defense in the interior, rebounding, scoring, and hustling for the ball.

 

[creAtivetfh]

just got back from the game... WOW!

 

[Jechtsphere]

Yeah one of his blocks or block I thought Brad leaped out of his shoes, jumped pretty high for Brad lol.

Way to up that trade value Brad!!

Seriously though, good to see some vintage Miller tonight!

 

[NewArena]

Wow what a win, i couldnt be happier. I was upset with Garcia and his wild play the whole game but he made up for it big time at the end of the fourth quarter. And how bout Martin with the great stat line showing that he doesnt JUST score?

 

[bloom]

Rah-Rah-Sis-Boom-Bah

What a game..some ups, downs, and ups again. I told myself that it's Garcia's game, and oh yeah, it was. lol Of course he had some ugly turnovers and some forced shots, but I see him growing.

Can't forget, look at Brad grabbing those boards. Right on B!

 

[BMiller52]

Kevin finally had that game where he took it over IMO. Hopefully it was the start of something he's gonna do more often. He's really talented, now it looked like he's on a whole other level than even last year.

I was saying to my gf at the game that he might possibly be one of those players who we hang their jerseys from the rafters some day.

 

[BawLa]

After seeing a game like that, I can't help but dream how much better we will be when we get Artest, Bibby, and Hawes (and hopefully Williams) in the mix...as long as they all realize this is Kevin's team.

I don't mind trying to run some offense through Hawes, but all of them need to bow down to KM.

Before we get ahead of ourselves, it can't just be one game. Against the worst defensive team in the league. Maybe the worst team in the league. If he wants to do this every night, sure (although you get the feeling it exhausted him).

I agree. I've been a Kevin supporter ever since we drafted the kid but I think we should give him time. Hopefully his body will adapt (I'm sure it will) and then we can see what he can truly do on a nightly basis.

 

[NewArena]

Im still in shock that we got martin with the 26th pick in the draft.

 

[VF21]

It was a great game and even though it wasn't a sellout the feeling in the arena, especially in the third and fourth quarters was reminiscent of some of the good ol' days.

Martin was amazing, and the idea that this was a one-time thing is just ridiculous. And he didn't look exhausted to me. He was being banged around a lot and put forth a lot of energy but he was not out of steam.

I'm exhausted, however, and heading to bed. This was truly a game to feel good about because of EFFORT and hustle and determination. Criticize all you like but tonight, for this night, the crowd at Arco responded to the effort being shown and the Kings responded to the fans. It was a good night to be a Kings fan - especially if you were with the great group of people from Kingsfans.com...

i was just saying i WANT him to be the guy who someday gets there

I loved Mikki's "steal." What was it, second quarter/third, whatever it was, he was standing there and the sonics just threw him the ball. He had this look on his face like..um..lol

"Which way did he go, George. Which way did he go." lol

What a game it was. I loved the crowds energy. I was actually hoping it would get loooouuuuuder.

Indeed -- I can recall Kevin going for a lot of 30+ 5+ 5+ 5+ games before in his career.


And which of course is only argued in homerland. Wasn't even the point. Every good player is going to have great games occasionally. Kevin will have great games in the future. The point wasn't that he would NEVER do this again, but quite reaonably wondering whether he could do it EVERY night.

Oh come on. Of course he can't do it EVERY night. But he will do it more and more often you better believe it. He is working on his playmaking abilities, but he still has time.

 

[kennadog]

It was a lot of fun to be at the game last night. Especially with others from kingsfans.com! The broadcasters thought Kevin looked tired in the 4th quarter, too. In the post-game show, however, one fo the coaches said Kevin was having problems with muscles cramping up in the second half (legs I think). So it was more than being tired.
