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
Didn't know there was a dog as part of the clan
Sorry Doggie Ziller.

Speaking of dogs
I will be on the national dog show tomorrow at noon with one of my 13" beagle puppies. If you want a good laugh check it out Beagles are in the hound group.
Dude - Awesome!
I’ll gather my two beagles (13" sisters) and we’ll be crossing our paws for you.

Ur a Beagle guy Beagle?
I’m shocked! (Good luck.)

it was filmed last Sat
so don’t hold out to much hope for the 13" beagle but the 15" beagle did well
I won't be surprised if the Kings win big
I mean you get the feeling Kings will come out hungry for a win.
:D
Here’s hoping : )

There's no excuse for losing tonight
This is a must win. Inferior team coming to Arco. No predictions for me anymore.

Kings need to come out hungry
Come on, play like you want to win this game Kings. Only two players have shown up to play so far and JT is in foul trouble.
I will be disappointed if they lose this game.
"It's as Ann as the nose on plain's face."
Pessimists View:
Devin Harris has just 2 points and could heat up late.
Optimism:
Kings will make some kind of a run in the 2nd half.
BOOK IT!
Lopez 8/12
No NBA matches in Greece tonight.
Who guarded him during these 8 shots? Brad I guess? I hope not Spencer.
TRADE MIKKI
I’m sorry, but Reggie Theus cannot resist playing him. It’s RIDICULOUS.
Look at the Nets. Do you see Lopez or Jianlian sitting behind some crappy old vets?
Is everyone
at the game tonight? This place is dead man.

If you are not within 10 feet of a three point shooter,
can you really call that “defense?”
SACTOWN ROYALTY - Try our thick creamy shakes!
Kings can't guard the 3 nor make FT's
That’s what happened.
and Theus sucks at rotation.
Bobby Brown AND JT should be playing at the end of the game.
"It's as Ann as the nose on plain's face."
Bad play calls at the end of games
Beno runs around for 15 seconds gets what look like three open looks and then passes to people that are covered. Salmons drives into a crowd and loses the ball. Why can’t the team get an open freaking jump shot at the end of games?
Shut up and Coach
Theus really sucks at rotation
Theus alternates Moore & Hawes during the final possessions of the last 2 games, but leaves BJax, the worst 3pt shooter on the team who is already 1-6 from 3pt, out at the 3pt line in the final possession. Plus with Carter out with a injury, why was BJax still guarding Harris? Jackson had already played 30min and obviously couldn’t keep up with Harris. Theus needed to put a better defender on the one person who could hurt us maybe Salmons.
"If you don't have anything good to say, LIE" - Mom
Thinking Loudly
We have lost 5 games by 1 or two points in the last 2 weeks. Here is what the main lineup at the end of the game was:
C – Miller
PF – Moore/Hawes
SF – Salmons
SG – Jackson
PG – Udrih
With that lineup? 0-5. I think it’s time to try the rookies. How about this:
C – Spencer
PF – Thompson
SF – Greene
SG – Salmons
PG – Brown
I mean seriously. I understand about playing games to win so that’s why you don’t play the rookies but when the veterans don’t know how to F*cking win then why not let the young guys play? Could they do worse than 0-5??
"Oh, boy! This website is very good. Hey, let's talk about the Raiders!" - "Peaches" Napier
Also
I am getting sick and tired of seeing the opponents shooting WIDE OPEN shots with NOBODY in their face to tie or take the lead and it seems like all the Kings can do is get a fade away three pointer with two people in their face. It’s getting damn frustrating.
"Oh, boy! This website is very good. Hey, let's talk about the Raiders!" - "Peaches" Napier
In the third quarter when we made the run to get back in it...
…it was BECAUSE of the young guys ….
"It's as Ann as the nose on plain's face."
Exactly!
They have the heart, the energy and the BALLS to try hard and go for it. The veterans, mainly Miller, Udrih and Moore seem to be afraid to shoot or take the big shots. They CHOKE. Even Salmons can’t make a shot in the final seconds. He missed a couple times last week and also tonight with the free throws and on Monday against Portland
"Oh, boy! This website is very good. Hey, let's talk about the Raiders!" - "Peaches" Napier
Not only that but there's too much pressure on Salmons
Teams know he’s the Kings top scorer right now and they start collapsing on him.
I bet Salmons wishes that Garcia and Martin were there to take the pressure off him. Because Udrih and Miller sure don’t.
"It's as Ann as the nose on plain's face."
Chicken little
I know I’m always saying the sky is falling, but the Kings have lost six of seven and the upcoming schedule looks like this:
@ Utah
vs. Dallas
vs. Utah
vs. Denver
vs LA Lakers
@ LA Lakers
The worst team in that stretch is Dallas, and they’ve won five straight. Reggie better start checking his ass for smoke, because his seat’s going to get real hot here in the next couple weeks.
Shut up and Coach
wow....
There’s only one game in that schedule that looks winnable…
"It's as Ann as the nose on plain's face."
I suspect
that Kings are rather supposed to beat teams like Lakers, Nuggets or Jazz than Nets, Bucks or Grizzlies (for about the second year in a row)

That was the worst coached and played game I have ever seen !
Worst Loss of the season. I wouldn’t pay a nickle to watch these losers play. Brad ( The B52 Bummer) needs to be benched. His defensive ineptitude is the focal point for every team in crunch time. Every team runs their offense thru whoever Miller is guarding, and when the double team comes as it always does, they get a wide open shot. Thats because my Grandma could post up miller and score !! He is THE WORST DEFENDER CENTER IN THE LEAGUE PERIOD !!! B-JAX is too old to defend anymore. Salmons has no heart. Beno is afraid to take a late game meaningful shot. Moore isnt much better a defender than Miller. But the missed free throws by Salmons and Hawes ARE the worst by far of all the idiot things that happened this night, They completely Gave that game away again. Blatant disregard for defending the 3 point line. Whatever the coach is drawing up on his little white board, this team is either ignoring him or the plays are worthless. Brad Miller needs to be BENCHED. He is washed up. B-Jax is still a good backup, but so is Beno. JT should be starting since like 2 weeks ago. If there is no roster shakeup after laying this big of an egg, they need to fire the coach. Heartless, poorly played, Poorly executed, poorly officiated, poorly coached and Someone needs to pay me back for the 3 hours I wasted watching this trash. Watching Salmons miss free throws just reminds me of what a POOR shooting Guard he really is. Teams play him to dribble and easily strip him on the double down. Everyone on the Nets Bench knew he was going to get the ball. I am Disgusted to be a Kings fan right now… They should already be starting When Healthy: Beno, Martin, Greene, JT, and Hawes. That team hustles and goes after rebounds. This crap needs to end soon !!
We need your posts for 3 point defense
No one could shoot over those.
Seriously, good stuff, but could you throw in a paragraph now and then?

My Thanksgiving Wish
Please let Garcia and Martin come back this weekend and be healthy. I am tired of Salmons and Jackson playing 35 minutes a game
"Oh, boy! This website is very good. Hey, let's talk about the Raiders!" - "Peaches" Napier
Seriously...I am so angry about this loss...
It’s the first time this whole season where I have felt just utterly disgusted with what was going on in the game.
I don’t hate Theus or anything, but his kind of games really do make you question is coaching ability.
Sure he can encourage guys and make them play hard, but he doesn’t have any strategical skills apparently.
It’s depressing watching the Kings always come out of a time out and completely fail.
"It's as Ann as the nose on plain's face."
Yeah
I would be fine (not happy) or at least satisfied if the Kings got a decent shot off and just missed it. I can live with a 18 footer that rims out. I am just sick of turnovers, fade-away threes and blocked shots to end the game.
"Oh, boy! This website is very good. Hey, let's talk about the Raiders!" - "Peaches" Napier
or have common sense. NJ had 14 seconds no timeouts left and Theus doesn’t do anything. Why the hell don’t you foul once they get past the half court line? If that happens, at worst NJ heaves a half court shot for the win.

Sickening, it was a Sickening choke job by the whole team, a team with no Alpha male Fu#!!!ing DETERMINED to win. I'm not saying Artest was the RIGHT Alpha male but who on this mother$#!ing roster who’s going to get the F%!@!ing win?!????

Just watched the end of the game
Wow, what a terrible loss. Getting down by 17 to the Nets at home is pretty bad. Coming back and getting a solid lead late in the 4th was nice. Salmons congrats on a career high 38, but 3-6 from the line in crunch time and OT? Unforgivable. Choking away a lead late in the 4th? Unacceptable. Not getting a shot off at the end of regulation with a chance to win? WTF? Overall the kind of game that’ll get your coach fired.
