Around SBN: 2012 Budweiser Shootout Entry List Released

GAME 26 - vs Philadelphia

by Tom Ziller on Dec 27, 2006 1:30 PM PST in Game Threads

Since this Maggette thing could blow any minute, let's just get right to it...

STARTERS:

SACRAMENTO
PG - Does anyone else think Mike Bibby is praying for Ron-Ron to go bye-bye? If Ron leaves and Mike starts shooting 50%, I might scream.
SG - When Kevin Martin wakes up in the morning, he pisses excellence.
SF - John Salmons: Future starting point guard for your Sacramento Kings? Chew on it.
PF - Kenny Thomas would like to take Dorothy Musselman out to a nice seafood dinner.
C - Brad Miller is putting together a string of nice games, unbeknownst to most.

PHILADELPHIA
PG - I'm telling you: Andre Miller + Kevin Martin + Corey Maggette = many alley-oops. Many, many alley-oops.
SG - Who would've thunk Kevin Martin would end up more valuable than Andre Iguodala by the end of 2006? Anyone?
SF - Kyle Korver is what a million 12-year-old midwestern kids with a jumpshot aim to be.
PF - Chris Webber wants you to order a basket of fried chicken at Center Court with CWebb.
C - Samuel Dalembert is making $10 million this year.

THE LINE:
The Kings are 7-point favorites. The Sixers are not so good. Take the Kings.

INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT NOTE:
Just as a reminder, the wild Peja trade stuff happened the day of a Kings-Sixers game last night. Something about Billy King in the air must make Geoff Petrie want to deal.

PREGAME HAIKU:
Nice to see you, Chris.
You'll see only Mike is left.
Even Rick got canned.

Enjoy the match, folks. Dare we prepare for a two-game winning streak?! Oh joy.

No AI? No Points!
The 76ers stink.
Or so the Kings hope.

"Kyle Korver is what a million 12-year-old midwestern kids with a jumpshot aim to be."

lol, that reminds me of a kid i knew when i was 12 who was obsessed with another sweet shooting midwestern kid: Keith van Horn

Re: GAME 26 - vs Philadelphia

Keith Van Horn is actually a Fullerton, Calif., kid. Not midwestern.

Re: GAME 26 - vs Philadelphia

Bibby 8, K-Mart 0.

Yet, the Kings are winning? 20-18 so far.

Re: GAME 26 - vs Philadelphia

One quarter in, and scoring is weak. 20-18, Kings.

Both teams shooting below 40% again! As with before, the first one to learn how to shoot above 45% wins.

Trivia question: Who has the only 3 pointer for either team thus far in the game?

Trivia answer: Quincy Douby. Go Douby Go.

Re: GAME 26 - vs Philadelphia

Looks like the imminent trade rumors have called Ronnie's bluff, so now it's time for the "Problems, what problems?" portion of the Artest drama. The Kings gotta get that deal done and move on.

by Tom Lewis on Dec 27, 2006 7:51 PM PST reply actions

Re: GAME 26 - vs Philadelphia

Kings have figured out how to shoot - up to 42% now. Up 45-32. Artest is in double figures, with 10. Bibby has 12.

Re: GAME 26 - vs Philadelphia

45-32 at the half. 76ers may not even score 76 at this pace. Oof.

Re: GAME 26 - vs Philadelphia

The Kings are at 46.5% shooting now. They've crossed the magic 45% mark I was looking for. I call game now for the Kings. Don't let me down, boys. 54-38, Sactown.

Re: GAME 26 - vs Philadelphia

Kevin Martin is alive and well. 16 points for the man following his 3. He leads all scorers, and gives TZ the credit.

Re: GAME 26 - vs Philadelphia

To see K-Mart and Bibby scoring at will is great.

Re: GAME 26 - vs Philadelphia

Where was the 3rd qtr. defense??? The 3rd quarter has been the difference in the wins and losses this season. There have been so many games that have ended in the wrong side because of the 3rd quarters.

by kingme18 on Dec 27, 2006 8:49 PM PST reply actions

Re: GAME 26 - vs Philadelphia

Totally agree. Yet, I still recall our game against Golden State when we lost in the first 5 minutes... that stunk too.

Re: GAME 26 - vs Philadelphia

At the end of the 3rd quarter, we have the Kings up, 75-63.

The 76ers scored 32 points in the first half, and 31 in the 3rd quarter. It just may be too late.

Re: GAME 26 - vs Philadelphia

Let's start a new rumor - I'll suggest Price is on his way to the Clips for Maggette, straight up.

Re: GAME 26 - vs Philadelphia

The Kings' shooting % is above 50 now. They're undefeated so far when that happens. It's no coincidence.

And the 76ers go back to the first half version...

Kings 98, 76ers... 76. (For real)

Ronnie Price in the game.

kings win, terrible sportsmanship by jason hart. pat burke style

by CrownUs93 on Dec 27, 2006 9:19 PM PST reply actions

Re: GAME 26 - vs Philadelphia

I don't feel that it is terrible sportsmanship. It was poor and lazy play by the 76'ers that led to that last shot. Just as was the case with the Kings and Burke. I think it is worse to tank the last few minutes of a game, that to me is disrespectful. I have always used defeat as inspiration to improve. Just my 2 cents.

Re: GAME 26 - vs Philadelphia

Game over, Kids. Kings 101, 76ers, 76 (I love that).

Kings miss the 50% mark, with a .494 percentage. 21 for Bibby, 18 for Martin. Miller with 13, Williamson and Artest have 10. No other double figures for the Kings.
