Okay, I'll rephrase...
You, as a poster on this board, are beginning to approach the kind of poster for whom it is very hard to maintain any degree of respect because of your proclivity for promoting your own favorite player at the expense of the rest of the Sacramento Kings team.
As far as your game-related comment goes, Omri was an integral part of the offense coming down to the wire, but it's NOT just about Omri. It's about the TEAM. I'm only guessing you're not watching because if you are, you aren't paying attention. Evans did kick out to Omri when he was open, and Omri was instrumental a couple of times in helping clear the way for Evans to drive inside. That is TEAM basketball and that's what it's all about.
Better?

We were down by 4 with 2.5 seconds left when he got the ball. Omri could have launched the long shot immediately and maybe hit the three and been down one with probably less than one second on the clock and absolutely no hope. Instead, he hesitated a milli-second to try to get defender to foul on the shot which would have been a potential four point play to tie the game at the buzzer - brilliant! Just did not work - that time. Omri playing like a seasoned vet - which he is having played overseas professionally for several years.
With a couple of minor changes:
•There are more moderators around, all of whom were around for the 4-16 silly stuff, and learned a lot from it.
•The infraction system allows us - the moderators - to control the situation much better without blanket banning (although I confess I loved being able to use *poof* dust)
•Most of our more tenured members don't rise to the bait any longer.

Casspion,
Omri is a very good spot up shooter, and is average at best in the post right now. He is NOT a one on one player. His strength is NOT in iso situations. When he is shooting 46% from 3, teams stop leaving him open. Until he develops more, and is able to get off his own shot, don't know what you expect. Its the nba dude, he's not going to get 10 wide open 3's a game. And Omri plays well in the FLOW of the game. As soon as he starts forcing it, bad things happen. Its about the Kings, not Omri's stats.

Another close loss!
While its great to see the young team with a fighting spirit and never say die attitude, its becoming a bit depressing that we keep losing the close ones lately.
On a positive note, our rookies are really kicking some backside out there. Tyreke, Omri and Jon were all great tonight!
Sooner or later we will start winning these types games....surely
