BOOK IT!
K Martin = Wally Pip
LOL, LMAO I wish, but maybe MM will be Wlaay Pip when Martin returns.
Go Kings!!!!!!!!!!!!
Start
Donté at the 2 and Salmons at the point, then we’ll be really tall!

The Game
What’s the best site for watching streaming video of a King’s Game?
This is going to be a tough game
But we are coming off a lot of momentum from last game and I think we might do fairly well today.

Updates
Q to play tonight and Kevin Martin to miss six to nine MORE days. (not sure if this is the original prognosis or an addendum to the original 7-10 days.

NBA League Pass
How come the kings game isn’t working. It said it doesnt work because of black restrictions?
i think if you're in Sac
it’ll be blacked out. I’m in LA and all the Lakers and Clippers games are blacked out

Couple things
With JT there, weak side help and rebounding will be better
The JT/TP matchup is bad for us if TP can make his shots. So far, so good for the Kings
Yes
they went right at him. 0-2 start for Prince is good.

good foul by MM
how did AI get there?

Err
JT didn’t play against guys with AI’s quickness at Rider, he looked dumbfounded as AI blew by (not that he’s the first guy that’s happened to). :)
yep we're growin
haha strangely that ball travels the same way.
it’s nearly 2pm where i am. when i’m at work…i don’t get much done when the kings are playin
The Pistons look old (or bored)
Its been a while since we really seemed to be out-quicking another team.
people are now bein born

Kings playing good ball
Spencer Hawes is unstoppable
BOOK IT!
I'll say it
This team with Artest would still be going backwards, with a ball-hogging self-absorbed jerk at its “star”. It was addition by subtraction and I don’t care if anything from the Artest trade pans out at all.
No way
Artest here means: no Brad running the offense, no JT touches, no Hawes touches, no Salmons, and less K-Mart shots
Detroit
As many points in five minutes as they had in the 1st quarter.

Poll Question
Should the Kings be like the Grizzlies and play all young guys?
Grizzlies: Conley, Mayo Gay, Arthur, Gasol
Kings: Udrih, Martin, Salmons, Thompson and Hawes?
Perhaps sacrifice wins.

I'm thinking...
Midway through the 3rd quarter when the Pistons come out of the locker room fired up and he and Rasheed Wallace get into it.
Miller is
such a smart passer. . .i hope it rubs off on our other bigs
Last game
I saw Spencer try a couple of those Miller to Martin passes, course they ended up in TOs, but hopefully it will improve in time.

Good half
by the good guys, very impressive. We’ll see if they can handle the intensity when Rasheed and the other veteran Pistons realize the game started a while back.
I went out to pick up my son
and I don’t know what happened to our lead but this is better than I expected.

Why do they give them so many open looks?
Especially Udrih, it’s like he doesn’t care about guarding. He doesn’t stay close to his matchup.
we definitely
struggle to stop penetration. thats definitely the reason our bigs are always in foul trouble
What do we do about that?

Salmons was very good tonight
shooting was not great but 7 assists and very good D, Turnovers, missed free throws and Brick Miller oops Brad were the bigger factors in not getting a W
Yeah good game
but usually you’d figure Salmons to take big shots down the stretch, but he had a bad shooting night, so maybe not.

Things I liked:
1. Beno and the kids (Hawes, JT, BB) keeping us in the game despite missing Speed and B-52 having a way-off night
2. The Arco crowd. There was a buzz tonight that wasn’t present for Memphis and Minnesota, and a little noise in the 4th.
3. JT starting at the 3. I was wrong on that one, I thought we’d be better off with Quincy or Bobby J at the 2. Interesting that QD saw NO time with both Cisco and Speedracer out.
Things I didn’t care for:
1. The band. “Haylie and the” something or others. I was perfectly content to sit through halftime until their lead singer started screeching. It was like 1am karaoke but without the benefit of a four-beer buzz. So I got up and got a $5 soda. Note to Magoofs: improve the live music or drop it altogether. Better yet, drop it altogether.
2. The number of Piston fans in the crowd. A consistent plague in the era of 5,000 empty seats. But the Pistons? Seriously? You don’t want to root for the home team so you chose…the Pistons? The team that brought thuggery into vogue in the 1990s and nearly destroyed the NBA, from which the Eastern Conference has yet to recover. The team that made Rick Mahorn a star. How much do you have to hate the game to root for that team?
3. The officiating team of Rookie Ref, Violet Palmer, and Ifailedthe Wunderlich. I hope we don’t have to see them again.

And I whole heartedly agree. That band blew. i booed them roundly.
Dip til I rip
Pistons
I actually don’t mind this era’s Pistons (I loathed the 90s Pistons). They come in, and other than excessive whining, they are pro’s. They share the ball, play defense, and out-execute you. Its pretty rare that they lose a game, you have to go beat them, if that makes sense.
I guess part of the reason I like them also, is I think they are probably the template if we ever are going to win it all, without getting fabulously lucky on a superstar. They are built as 8 or so really good basketball players that get being a team and playing to each other’s strengths. I have a lot of respect for them.
2 reasons we lost
1) Not that important: Brad Miller’s shooting,
2) Important: Too many fouls. Detroit had 30/36 FT, we had 10/17.
2) Important: Too many fouls shitty officiating. Detroit had 30/36 FT, we had 10/17.
Shut up and Coach
Gee Carl don't be cynical
You know how Master Stern disapproves of such behavior.
No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. It's simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get tangled, you tango on
Salmons and Miller
6-28 shooting (21). The rest of the team: 33-52 (63).
