Winning is better than losing

[VF21]

Any questions?


















I'm sorry but I couldn't resist.

 

[N.U.F.A.N.]

To me it seemed like one of those games that whether it was a tight game or not, you knew the kings were going to win it.

Usually when its really close games, i get so nervous that my hands perspire. haha

this game wasnt one of them

but yeah, definitely a bad finish.

 

[VF21]

Bad finish? We won. That's a GOOD finish.

 

[LMM]

yep i agree!

i don't even want to imagine how i'd feel if we lost tonight!

It was a rough ending, but I'll take the W!

 

[kennadog]

I would definitely feel much, much worse if they'd lost this one. An ugly win still counts as a win, thank goodness.

Now we just need the Lakers to lose. If the Kings can only get up to 7 and avoid the Spurs--the 8th seed is a deathwish.

 

[KingKong]

Yeah we need the 7th seed.... badly. I just wish we didn't squander away so many games in between. We would have caught Memphis by now. Oh well....

 

[beemerr23]

Bad finish? We won. That's a GOOD finish.

up 10, 3 minutes left, in the penatly, and we were going to the line with 4.5 seconds only up by one. BAD finish, but a win.

Other than KT's 8 sec. violation, no questions.

Po-tay-toes. Po-tot-oes.

It's a W.

who says po-tot-oes anyway? Go Kings!

I'm going to be a picky pickler and say: it depends on the context.

The Kings winning is better than losing.

The Lakers winning... eh, not so much.

 

[hoops4kings]

It always feels better to win. losing sucks! Even if you win ugly, like Al Davis says "Just win baby!"

Spurs or not, any 8th seed now faces miniscule odds of taking out a #1 now that we have a 7-game format. There were only two 8 seeds that took out a #1 in a 5-game format (in 18 seasons, twice in 148 series).

 

[Gargamel]

^ And of course, they went to the 7-game format just so they didn't have 5 day gaps between first round games because they didn't want two or more games being played at the same time.

Well, doh.



This is a Kings board. I kind of figured it would have been just a tad redundant to say "Kings winning is better than Kings losing"...

Gee, I thought it was to protect the slumping 2004 Lakers' huge market from being knocked out in the first round.

Where's my tin-foil hat?!

2003 was the first year of the 7-gm format. They were 3-2 on Minny at the 5-gm mark.

Recall 2002. Four days between first round games. They went with disenfranchising 7/8 seeds over losing TV money.

It really doesn't matter 8th or 7th seed the way we're playing lately .

 

[VF21]

See!

Like I said before, winning is definitely better than losing.

 

[Heuge]

See!

Like I said before, winning is definitely better than losing.

Three cheers for you!

Winning is grreeaatt...losing is the pits. Thanks for the wins lately
