Spurs @ Kings Game Thread

Bad turnover.

 

[Zyphen]

My whole point was in response to original post that you don't use your pinky when shooting. If he has his ring finger wrapped up too than it might have more effect on his shooting.

Why? You ever had to tape your fingers? Just put your pinky and ring fingers together. It just feels like one big finger. Basically a 4-fingered hand. Any trouble he would have in shooting would be from pain, which he has low tolerance for. The taping should help with the pain but obviously not enough for him. No doubt he should sit out then, but it doesn't change the fact that most other players wouldn't be signficantly affected.

gutty effort here...we're clearly overmatched but playing hard anyway. Nice to see.

 

[piksi]

Only Mike and Bonzi are playing. The rest sucks

 

[piksi]

couldn't get a rebound again

 

[Zyphen]

Too much poise from the Spurs. One last gasp was nice though.

Hey man we can still do this.

 

[Zyphen]

Shareef and Miller should be ashamed. I hope Bonzi rubs his boards in their faces.

 

[OptimusRhyme]

Here we go comon we can do this.

 

[piksi]

rebound the ball damn it!

 

[hoops4kings]

Glad we came back, but these loses are painful.

 

[D-Mass]

Could have been MUCH, MUCH worse. If Brad and SAR would have contributed ANYTHING, we could have won that one.

 

[piksi]

4-7

 

[Smart_guy3]

If the Kings would've played the way they did in the 4th they would've won the game

 

[OptimusRhyme]

Well good game considering we didnt have our leading scorer. From the stats Garcia looked like he played decent. The audio feed sounded like the Kings were fighting hard to stay in that one... Best Effort is all we can ask for.

 

[kennadog]

Considering the fact that I feared a blow out, I am proud of the team's heart and toughness tonight. (Just wish we could get those rebounds in crunch time ) After all, the Spurs are considered a clearly superior team and they only beat us by 3.

 

[Zyphen]

Spurs tightened up. Team like the Mavericks would have completed the collapse. Oh well.

 

[AriesMar27]

its sad that they lost but im proud of the effort...... from bibby and bonzi 18/14 and 5 stls from bonzi.... and 33 from bibby, 9/9 ft..... too bad peja wasnt there....

 

[chelle]

I do not think that our back court has anything to hang their heads about in this game. They played a heck of a game.

The front court should be ashamed of the rebounding. Inexcusable. I was disappointed that Brad only attempted 4 shots. He has to take more.

Looking at the outcome, we lost. It stinks. BUT, I am looking at it this way: we lost by 3 to the Spurs without Peja. THEY DID NOT GIVE UP. THEY KEPT FIGHTING. Bibby WILL hit a game winner very soon. I am not as upset by this loss as I was last night's game.

 

[6th]

I am still proud of our guys. We were down by a ton, and instead of giving up, we battled the Champion Spurs down to the wire losing only by 3, while missing our team's leading scorer.

Good game, guys. Thanks for the effort.

 

[SLAB]

Just wow...I'm speechless.

This is the first game in a long time that had me jumping around like a little kid!

This is why I love this game!!!

 

[Zyphen]

Call me a piksimist but it wasn't so much us as the Spurs letting us back in the game. They stunk it up on defense in the 4th.

When we used to be elite and barely eeked out a win against a team like the Hawks because we were careless, you think the Hawks fans console themselves like this too? Makes you wonder...

The best thing to come out of this game will be more minutes for Garcia and less for Martin.

Here's to hoping.

 

[Kings113]

Great game! One of the best I've seen all this season. From the Kings too.

Hey, for a loss (that was pretty much expected) to the Spurs, I'll take it. Along with no Peja. A whole lot better than getting blown out.

Garcia/Power Wells/KT/Bibby/Hart were huge tonight! Just a shame about those two rebounds at the end (Horry, Duncan I think).

Garcia really proved himself tonight, and showed why he was drafted. I love it.

 

[piksi]

This game was not even close. We never had a chance. They just let us look good.

 

[Zyphen]

Before I become a complete piksimist, I'd like to say good effort from the guys. They tried hard whatever the circumstances.

 

[chelle]

Maybe the Spurs were playing horrible defense or just letting us hang around. I do not really know. What I do know is that I saw something tonight that I had not really seen yet this season. My team was fighting with a strong desire to win. They did not just show up; they competed. Am I ready to clear off a spot for a replica trophy, not yet. However, for the first time this season, I AM EXCITED AGAIN about the possibilites ahead. They actually looked like a team. Tonight, I was proud of them. GO KINGS!

True...Garcia proved he has handles tonight, and I don't see any reason why he can't play the 2.

Agreed.

Still weak w/ the swingman depth though.
