Where Were You When Martin Made The Game Winning Shot?

I was at the Grad in Davis. The whole place went nuts. Everyone screamed and jumping up and down on top of the tables and benches.
 
In my apartment too numb to believe what I had just seen!!!

By the way, I had spent about 30 minutes whining and moaning to a few friends earlier that day about how the Kings NEVER win a game at the buzzer, and that only heartbreak can happen in the last 5 seconds of a Kings game...

I got three immediate phone calls from people asking me to eat crow- I gladly did!!!!
 
i was at the grad sports grill in chico for a friends birthday. the place went friggin' wild when martin hit the shot!!!
 
There in france, at 7am jumping on my friend, yelling in the appartement !
i told him "steal and fastbreak", and eventhough i told it i couldn't believe it happened (i was thinking at ron instead of mike for the steal) !
when i saw the board going red and the ball going in, HELL YEAH !!!!!!!!!

great game by ron bonzi mike kevin rick (for basically outcoaching pop on this game)
 
At home, in my family room by myself. When The shot went in it happened to fast. I was ready to hear a call from the refs to screw us over. When I finally realized we won, I started jumping up and down and making "WOOP!" sounds but not too loud that I wake up my mom. ;)
 
Something tells me that most of you all would scare the holy hell out of me if watching a game together.

I was on the couch, watching the game on ESPN2, and I smiled when the Kings won. Then I finally ate dinner.
 
I was following the play by play at yahoo when it happened. After that darn Finley hit that 3, I didn't have it in myself to keep watching. So after I read "Martin makes layup", I thought I was hallucinating.
 
I was watching my Tv at home in a pair of shorts and a tshirt. Then I promptly put on Bonzi Wells jersey and went out to the Limelight with some friends to celebrate.
 
Standing in my living room feeling very demoralized when Artest made the turnover and praying for a miracle--and what do ya know Bibby and Martin delivered! I started jumping up and down and screaming when I saw the shot go in--I woke up everyone in my house, made my two dogs start howling, so I am sure some neighbors heard me as I had the sliding door wide open.:D
 
In my living room all by myself. I acted almost exactly like Adelman did. A jump and a yell, some calm to make sure it was real, then an animated fist pump. :D

Then I ran and grabbed my wife from the other room and made her watch the entire last play again with me while I set the stage and paused it every so often to provide extra analysis and detail. :)
 
i was at a bar with a cousin and some friends. i did not get to see ANY of the game but talked to a friend at half time who said kings up by 6. i had watched both prior games in their entirety but missed this one completely, i am SOOO pissed! got home and heard about the drama.. couldnt friggin believe it. i really like hearing that Arco went so crazy, finally something to passionately cheer for. i bet that place rocked. i would have loved to have been there.
 
Imagine how crazy we can get if the Kings won the NBA Final?!


I was in my brother's room watching the game with my 2 bros. It took me awhile to realize Kevin's shot was in time and we won. It happen so fast! :D
 
Watching the game on tv with my wife and her family in Sacto. My father-in-law went to bed at 1/2 time because he has been putting in 12 hour days in Accounting at work. He was terrified with all the yelling thinking someone was getting killed or something. I still cannot get over his facial expression and we had to show him the Bibby steal, pass, and finish by KMart so he could see why were so loud. Finally something goes in our favor on the final play of a do or die game. Too bad it had to come down to the wire like that when we had the game the whole way just like we had Game 2, but it sure makes for some good memories and a good feeling knowing we pulled this one out.

Now let's walk all over the Spurs in Game 4 and not have the game in doubt, we are due for a breakout game by Brad. Let's knot it up at 2-2 going back to SA for game 5. LETS GO KINGS!!! :D
 
We were having band practice last night, but I had the tv on in the next room - we had been checking the score & watching the game, from time to time - and practice was finally over with about 2 minutes left:

I was standing right in front of our BIG SCREEN HD-TV with Randy (lead guitarist) both of us screamin' ... UNFREAKIN'BELIEVABLE - OMG

:eek:
 
...talking my brother through the last play on the phone. He was driving to work, doesn't have a radio in his car (it was stolen) so he needed me to do the play by play. I pretty much sucked at giving an accurate description in real time, but needless to say, he figured out that something good happened.
 
At Petco Park watching the Horrible Padres. I watched the first quarter live and then went to the game and watched the rest when I got back.
 
At home, sadly drinking my Sam Adams, wondering if I should just change the channel and watch the Padres/Dodgers game, but the Padres were down three, so I kept on the game...................................and boy was I lucky.
 
I was sitting on my couch thinking the game was over until mike stole the ball and passed it to Kmart. When the basket went in, man I started screaming. I was shocked. That was awesome!
 
I was at a party along with some rockets , mavs and of course some spurs fans . Hey this is what i get for living in texas ! Anyways i was excited but i was lil drunk to really understand what actually took place .

MAVS AND ROX FANS WERE ROOTING FOR US .... YESSSS........EVEN MAVS FANS DUE TO THEIR ADV IN HAVING KINGS & SPURS PLAYING A 7 GAME SERIES .

C'mon be honest with kings 's past playoff luck , the martin's layup would have rolled around the rim and come out . But Thankfully the kings actually caught a break for the first time !

But then i think i shed some tears after a while ...... but they were of pure joy !

This is probably the most unique (and stupid) answer yet:

I had the game on the TV, 2 feet in front of me, but I didn't see the last play!! I was playing poker online while watching the game, and I kind of drifted into the poker game after seeing the Spurs up by 1 with the ball and 27 seconds left. I was in the middle of a hand... when all of a sudden I hear a bunch of cheering, and I see a bunch of fans rushing the Arco floor, and the final score. I wanted to see the play, but then I missed the replay of the play, and the broadcast was over. It isn't until I saw Fillmoe's gif file did I see the final play!! :D

I'm not upset at all though... if it takes me not watching the final play for the Kings to make a spectacular play at the buzzer, then I would not watch it all over again!!
 
I was sitting at ARCO Arena in the upper level... however, I was so down about Finley's 3 followed by the TO that I was kinda slumped in my seat, clutching my glow stick, extremely tense as Ginobli dribbled the ball and then all of the sudden STEAL and the first thing that hit me was wait no timeout? I see Bibby pass the ball to Martin and then everyone stood up so fast that I missed the finish, but I see all of ARCO Arena just errupt like a volcano and I knew what had happened. One of the Best experiences of my life...
 
When it actually happened I was out but I watched it about 5am and I just knew we'd lost it and I was about to go to bed mad but then Bibby stole the ball and when A1 got the shot it took me a few minutes to realise what happened then I was screaming like a lunatic, scaring the cats, making the dogs bark and probably waking up the neighbors. Oh well they'll get over it, it was worth it:D Incredible ending. This game I'm keeping on tape.
 
Great idea for a thread btw!

I was sitting in my bedroom after having JUST finished working out, *bam* ball goes off Artest's leg. I was so pissed, but I try to make it a rule to see the game(s) all the way through, because well... you just never know.

And glad I did, I started screaming so loud, when I came out into the den, the two cats were wide-eyed and quivering under the sofas.

Like Rush Limbaugh all hyped up on painkillers, I continued on to work my dresser like it was an end-zone goal post pad after a touchdown. Followed that up by doing fifty more pushups, and woke the next morning to having a sore throat, bruised knuckles, and a pulled muscle in my back.

I bleed black and purple as it turns out. I'm still smiling about the play, and game 4 just ended!
 
I was at working going back and forth to the break room to catch the game. As soon as Kevin's shot went in, me and a couple other guys in the room screamed and yelled in excitement. Kings win + getting paid to see the Kings win = :D
