You can run but You can't hide.

In 2003 Kings were on another run to win the title. We were better than in 2002 when we got robbed out of the title. Jazz were the first round opponent. They caused some trouble despite the difference in the talent and level of play. Kings went up 2-0 and Vlade said that they (Jazz) were done. As it usualy works - Jazz won the game 3 and it looked like the momentum shifted.
On April 28th game 4 took place. Jazz played well in the first half and were up by 4. In the 3rd quarter Pedja got hot (15 pts) and Kings outscored Jazz 36-18 and never looked back again. Couple days later we won the game 5 and ended Stockton's career. Pedja lead the Kings with 27/3/1/2st/2bl, Webber had 26/11/3/4st/2bl, Mike had 11/4/9/3st. Bobby and JJ combined 19 pionts off the bench.
For 24 minutes, it looked like John Stockton and Karl Malone would play at least one more game at the Delta Center. Then Peja Stojakovic, Chris Webber and the Sacramento Kings took over. Stojakovic scored 27 points and Webber added 26 as the Kings pulled away for 99-82 victory over the Utah Jazz and took a commanding three games to one lead in their Western Conference first-round series. The Jazz had a 41-37 halftime lead but made just one basket in the final 3 1/2 minutes. Sacramento carried the momentum into the third quarter and outscored Utah, 36-18. That increased the likelihood that Malone and Stockton played their final home game as teammates. Stojakovic scored 27 points and Webber added 26 as the Kings pulled away for 99-82 victory over the Utah Jazz and took a commanding three games to one lead in their Western Conference first-round series.
"Is the series over? How do you want me to answer that?" Sacramento coach Rick Adelman said. "If they aren't going to fly to Sacramento, we'll take it. But that isn't going to happen. This team isn't going to go away. We had a great second half, but that doesn't mean anything going to Sacramento that we are going to win."
"I just need a couple of open shots in the third quarter and I knocked them down, and that's how I got going," Stojakovic said. "I found my rhythm and when we get the offense at our tempo, it's much easier for me."
------------------------------------------------------------------------
After all games 2 are compleated i am even more pissed that we couldn't make the 7th spot. Tell me again why one game is not important in the big picture.
Kings - Spurs - looks like 4-1 but even sweep is possible. It will be hard to get back into this
Mavs - Grizzlies - pretty much the same. Mavs are playing great
Clipps - Nuggets - I don't know how Denver will respond but i don't dee them win a game in LA. Clipps in 7 as a worse game scenario but more like Clips in 5
Suns - Lakers - this will go 7 and obviously. I hope that Suns can pull it. I remember someone trying to convince me that we are better off with Spurs than with Suns. Say what ?
I don't care much about east because nobody has a chance against pistons.
Pistons - Bucks - sweep
Pacers - Nets - I really like the way that krstic is owning the Pacers who are the worst passing team I have ever seen. Nets in 7
Heat -Bulls. i would love to see bulls win but still Heat in 5
Cavs - Wizards. Wizards in 6unless Lebron goes really crazy which of course he is perfectly capable of
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kings are down 2-0 which isn't unexpected but considering the way the last game ended - we might be down more than than mentally. Spurs held a serve and now it is our turn to try to return the favor and make it a 3 games series. Obviously, it is easier said than done but we know we can beat them and ARCO just might help us do that. It doesn't look too good but it isn't hopless yet.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
What happened last game - it wasn't the first time and it won't be the last. Get "used" to it or step aside because it will eat You alive. If You have been around in 2002,2003 and 2004 - You have developed thick skin. If You are just falling in love with Kings just now - please reconsider. This kind of love hurts. If You are around longer and You didn't expect something loke this to happen - stay of drugs and stop drinking. When it comes to Kings - luck isn;t a good partner because it cheats when we need it the most. Welcome to hell.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have all the reason to be proud of the way the team responded after the spanking from the first game. Most of the guys came to play and then some. At the end it wasn't enough but all we can ask of a player to give their best and play their hearts out. If we would have gotten more of it over the course of the season - we wouldn't have been playing the Spurs.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
What a game. the first 47:50 were great to watch. Both teams playing hard and playing well. Even the refs were pretty objective. Unfortunately, a game is 48 minutes long and it's nature is brutal because You can screw up everything in one possesion. Kinda like a cow that gives You 20 gallons of milk but at the end of milking kicks the can and spils it all.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have a dog. his name is Bobby. I trained bobby to do simple things. Nothing special. One of those things involves following, stopping and not leaving the position. Bobby is a smart dog. How hard is it for a professional player to follow instruction ? How smart do You really have to be to realize the difference between a 2 and 3 ? Just how bad do You really want to win and what are You prepared to do for it ? Can You manage not to screw up one possesion that has it all. Brent Barry did a great job making that shot considering he was WIDE OPEN.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
What a performance by Kevin, Bonzi and SAR. 2 of them had almost no PO experience and Bonzi didn't have much lately. Despite that they showed up big time and brought us in the position to win. It was a pleasure to watch them and I hope for more in the future. Even the loss as hard as it was can't take that away. Thanks guys - it was the pleasure.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rick Adelman also deserves props for they way his team responded. He got most of the guys ready to play. Coached well, we controlled the game and got what we wanted. He outcoached Pop. What he couldn't do is go in the game instead if his players. He can tell guys what to do but if they can make a simple thing - there is nothing he can do. Only thing that he is responsible for is trusting his players sometime blindly.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Watching Brad Miller in the POs reminds me on the movie "space jam" His level of performance is pathetic, unacceptable, aggrivating but mostly disappointing. Not only does he suck on both ends of the floor but he also helping Spurs making Bibby totaly ineffective. There is no indication that Brad will bounce back. We just can't count on it. As far as I am concerned - he is a waste of 7 foot human body.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
We knew that Mike Bibby can't stop anyone. Now that I fixed my computer chait - it would score 40 on him. We already put him on their worst offensive player. We can't make him look good even playing against a kindergarden team. Now that he is getting the "pedja treatment" from Pop he is fairly useless on the other end too. If I would have to pick between Hart and him at the moment - I would have to think about it. His offense might improve when Ron gets back and Bowen switches his focus but his defense will never get better. It isn't the first time that it cost us a game. Mike Bibby is incapable of folowing a simple instruction. He can't stay on his man. My grandmother would have done a better job of that. How hard it is to guard the 3 and star on the man. You don't even have to watch the ball. Who cares what happenes. You can see it later on a tape. You don't care about a ball or the play ot anything else but cover one player and follow him. You even know the they have to hit a three because they run out of time outs. People say that he would look better with better interior defense. Whatever. As far as I am concerned his best defense is when he is sitting on the bench where he belongs in such situations. Even JWill wasn't this pathetic. Come one man !
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Awards are pretty easy to hand out. Brent Barry scored 22 pts 8-12 from the field to go with 2rb and an assist. Even if he didn't - he scored when we needed it the least. Easy TDM winner.
LW - VC award goes yet again to Brad Miller making him the first player to go on a streak. If he goes for the sweep so will the Spurs. I could put his stats here but do the really matter ? You watched the game.
If You are wondering where is Bibby here. Well, it is quiet simple. My vacuum cleaner sucks pretty good but not that good.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
We played great for 47 minutes and 50 seconds or so. Came out of the game empty in many ways. This was our game to lose and as usual we found the way. Usually, You win as a team and You lose as a team but please tell that to SAR, Bonzi and Kevin. What else were they suposed to do ? Spurs are evry deep, very talented but they didn't deserve to win that night. They weren't better despite us being without Artest and with Brad and Bibby.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A BSPN broadcast. They will make me sick. Walton is always an option. I hope for Tolbert. Studio retards will be as annoying as usual probably making fun of us again. Use mute button on Your remote. It will be pretty bad. It will be a Spurs worship network and I hope that we spoil their fun.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
What can we expect in game 3. Hopefully Ron will play good enough to get Bowen off Bibby. Will Miller "be there." I wouldn't put my money on it. your's maybe but not my money. Which kings killer will have his night ? We all know that one of them will. Don't even deny it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Mike -
Ron - now is the time Ron and take those pills man - damn
SAR - do it again
Bonzi - impressive
Brad -
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Kevin - do it again kid
KT - time for You to have a big game
Cisco - maybe some more minutes
Hart - better than Bibby
the rest - Mateen
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
RA - just get them ready again
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What else can we say about Spurs. They really start to annoyme big time. TDM will go to Finley and LW-VC will go to Brad Miller again. Kings are due to win a game and while it will be very difficult to do it - it is our best shot.
