PrintBoston Celtics at Sacramento Kings, Dec 28, 2008 6:00 PM PST
The World Champions visit ARCO for the only time until the NBA Finals in June. (Can't wait for that.) Everyone suspects the Celtics will be piping hot from the two straight Western losses (Lakers, Warriors). I don't know why you'd think that, though; everyone knows Kevin Garnett is a totally calm, relaxed dude and couldn't care less about games in December. Everyone knows guys like Paul Pierce and Ray Allen and Leon Powe don't just take games off -- they take entire weeks off.
Beno Udrih's ball-handling problems definitely won't be exploited by the best point guard defender since Gary Payton. Whichever lucky King starts at power forward won't get outhustled, outmuscled and outscreamed by reigning D.P.O.Y. You guys just aren't looking deep enough. You're not looking between the lines.
Easy Kings win. E-Z.
Game's an early bit, starts at 6. Do not engage in banter with the bandwagoneers. Repeat: DO NOT ENGAGE IN BANTER WITH BANDWAGONEERS! Those fairweather Kings fans, just showing up when the Kings have started to get good ... they don't deserve your attention.
For the Celtics fan's perspective, check out CelticsBlog.
Go Kings.

I'm glad TZ gets it
I mean, look at basic math. Kings beat the Lakers, Lakers beat the Celtics, so Kings beat Celtics. As simple as that… Go Kings!

Mikki starting
Everyone’s 2nd worst fears realized (K9 is #1).
For posterity, I think this is the right move.
The more you guys work the trade machine, the happier I am GP is our GM.
Mikki Moore starting is a good move?
Pssshaw!

Bad shot Cisco
long contested 3s early in the shot clock are not wise.

We're playing pretty well
We just suck, lol.

Shots are just not falling
Pretty cliche but that’s exactly it. I don’t think it’s the C’s defense (at least not yet)
Yah
the C’s haven’t really started playing D yet. When they do, they’ll suck the life out of our offense. For now, we’re taking shots you’d figure we’d make a few more of.
The more you guys work the trade machine, the happier I am GP is our GM.
At least
we seem vaguely interested in keeping them from scoring 120 tonight.

subbing late in the 1st allows your starters to play most of the 2nd.

except with BobbyJ instead of Salmons or Donte, and we’re struggling to get decent shots, but we’re not playing too badly.

Yeah but if he pounds the balls for 10 secs of the whole shot clock
That’s not entirely everyone else’s fault. Bobby is not a master of starting ball movement.

I’m just saying that’s not a way for him to succeed. You just want to see it. I fail to see how it would help them develop.

After the bad pass form Beno to Mikki they got into a small argument. As soon as that happened Kenny alled on Bobby Brown
would have prefered he bench Moore.

Agree
I’m not sure who’s faults it was. But its actually not the first time I see Mikki arguing with a teammate. Saw him arguing with Cisco the other day too
he's exhorting a felloe team mate as part of his mentoring role

They're on pace for around 50 for the half

Its hard to have an offense
when they only have to guard 2 of the 5 guys on the floor. Cisco hasn’t made anything, Beno you only have to be vaguely in his area, and Mikki gets ignored on offense by teams more than Ben Wallace used to, and of course Mikki never makes them pay by rebounding.

if salmons is trying
to carry this team…he dropped the package long ago!
They counted Beno's basket on the sequence is why.

Bored
This has been the most boring game of the year as a Kings fan. No emotion on the floor, the vets are playing all the minutes. Yawn. It’s time to fuckin’ blow it up and just LET THE YOUNG GUYS PLAY. I don’t want to see any more Miller, Moore or B-Jax in the second half. It’s time to let Shock & Hawes, Bobby Brown, Dontê and Shelden get out there and play. SO WHAT if the SUCK it up. It’s not like the veterans can do shit anyway.

just play D and hold the ball for 24 seconds on offense for the rest of the game and still eek out a win.

Better than lying to yourself saying the KIngs are being screwed by bad circumstances (which they are to a degree..but…). Even then, in the long run, this isn’t a bad thing for this fanbase.

Question about the loteri (lol)?
Are the percentage based on record or position with respect to the whole league? And is it just the regular season or playoffs also count? Second question is more about the Rockets pickof course
Easy
The lotto balls for each team gets a certain percentage according to their record. (worst record 25% of lotto balls and so on & so forth.)
Playoff teams get draft picks according to record, yes.

if teh Rockets end up with like the 7th seed but make a run for the championship, the pick is still decent and not the 30th pick, correct?
Yup Yup

Great, thanks
I’ve been thinking about that for a while but I didn’t want to make a whole fanpost out of it. I want to Rockets to do good in the playoffs but I still want to get a decent pick (maybe 16th-22th range)
Watch their regular season record
The Rockets toughest part of the schedule is really early on Ed. So in fact, the Rockets record might be top 4 in the West. Still, another draft pick can’t hurt this team if Petrie is doing the picking right?

"We are in the business of kicking butt and business is very, very good." - Charles Barkley
No more so than at the start of the year
Brad isn’t finished yet. He’s just quit on this team cuz he don’t want to be here. Question is how much longer will Petrie take it. (He’ll take it unfortunately.)
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
Pookey
you sure have a hard on for Miller lately
Tired of him
Curious why everybody else isn’t on the same boat as me. It’s not my cynicism that matters here.
Bottom line is this: When you write in a game thread you hope the refs toss your veteran center cuz he’s a bitch & you can’t stand him, he’s not good for the team. He isn’t doing anything for this team other than putting up some #‘s, and with the type of mins he’s getting, he should be doing better.
At some point, I think the franchise is waiting to see how this team works with Martin on it. Petrie is so patient he wants to make sure of everything before he makes a move. (I fail to see how the Kings do anything more than compete with Martin on the floor. Blowing it up is part of the deal in rebuilding. Doing it sooner than later is always a good decision.)
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
Let me expand on the Martin point a little
One reason I bring up Kevin Martin is this. He’s the Kings best player right now. He & Brad Miller tend to have a quality connection on the court, and maybe what Petrie is hoping, and I’m noodling a bit here, is that the Martin return helps Miller find his mojo, and teams seeing that will see all hope is not lost with Brad Baby. If other teams believe he can fit into what they do, then that will make it easier for them to make that type of gamble. It’s probably just as simple as that.
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
I was kinda hoping
the Miller for Marion would have happened. It probably would have been better for all including Miller who’s image was hurt with the drug suspension.
Whose image of Brad was changed by that suspension?
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
I think everyone else realizes
That you can’t pin 30 plus point home losses on one guy. Brad’s become your punching bag, and you have a tendency to give him the business at the expense of everyone else.
Not saying he’s deserving of compliments, but you seem a bit…unbalanced in your criticism of Brad. This team stinks from top to bottom, and I’m not sure anyone really deserves to be off the hook, except for maybe John Salmons and Spencer Hawes.
I still don’t think B rad’s quit on the team, Aileen Voisin’s esteemed opinion notwithstanding. I think the guy is frustrated, and he can’t figure out how to get his game to where he wants it to be, or how to help this team not get embarassed.
Are we gonna live together? Together are we gonna live?
That's also true too
He’s the biggest problem, but is hardly the only one. That is certainly oh so very true.
I’m not picking on him only, for crying out loud there are people who say worse, it’s just that he’s the easiest solvable problem (unlike Beno) to fixing SOME of what currently ails this team. Kevin Martin is another part of the solution, and perhaps JT/Donté/Shawes is another bit of the solution too. Solution’s aren’t clear cut, I certainly can’t disagree with that, but to say that I’m putting all the blame on Brad is unfair. It’s just that he’s quit on this team. This team would have lost by 20 pts whether he had given it his “100% all.” But, this team was awful tonight, and finding any bright spot would be difficult.
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
Fair Enough
And I agree with you in that I think Brad needs to go, sooner rather than later. It’s pretty clear this team can lose plenty with or without him – if he is having a negative influence in the locker room and on the court (still not sure I believe this), the young guys aren’t really benefiting from his experience and “wisdom”. So what’s the point in keeping him? To get a marginally better deal? That doesn’t make much sense, IMO.
Are we gonna live together? Together are we gonna live?
But if you want my honest opinion
I’m more frustrated by Kenny Natt putting Moore in the starting lineup than anything else. That only exercebates how bad Miller has been.

How does Spencer deserve to be off the hook?
You’ve got to be kidding, right?

Reading, it's fundamental
except for maybe John Salmons and Spencer Hawes.
Both of these guys have had their ups and down this season, thus the “maybe” meaning I think it’s a point you could argue either way.
I think Spencer’s going through a rough stretch, but overall he’s one of the few guys on the team who’s performance has improved over the 2007-2008 season IN MY OPINION (just adding that since you’re clearly addled).

coolcat
expects Hawes to be better than Kevin McHale, so given that expectation, I see why he’s disappointed.
On the other hand, a little earlier last week he said Hawes had no place in the league. Given this range of possiblities (either top 50 player of all time or drummed out of the league because he sucks), it sort of easy to see where coolcat is confused regarding Mr. Hawes.
The more you guys work the trade machine, the happier I am GP is our GM.

I never said
I expected Spencer to be Kevin McHale.
I also didn’t say Spencer had no place in the league.
Like Otie said, “Reading, It’s fundamental.”

it is summer
usually for us that means 40 degree (celcius) days. a little cooler this year, which is nice

I don't care for 100 degree days (fahrenheit)
It’s why I moved to Seattle, and got 2 weeks of snow/ice for my trouble. I’m screwed no matter where I go. Oui.

Only problem last night
was tripping over all the Celtics fans to get down there. Lowest priced ticket at game time was $89. I had to pay $68.50 × 2 to see that crap vs. 25.50 for the Raptors game.

if only this counted for ten losses
…for draft lottery purposes…
Life is every mammal's journey from very very wet to very very dry.
have you taken a look at the january schedule. The Kings may not win a game until February.
I wouldn’t worry about the losses, I can positively say, they are going to happen.

What the fuck are you talking about?
Not going to win until February?! Have you even looked at the schedule?!
We can totally beat the Wizards :)

#1 pick in the 2009 draft

Well...
A pleasure sharing this horrible game with you guys. Hope we come out and blow out the Clips, or at least lose by only single digits haha.
But seriously… this is just what we have to go through to get better in the future. I’m gonna enjoy it so much more when we are winning knowing that I was a fan during the bad times. Go Kings!!
keep telling yourself that
I hope it works for you

so....
i’m guessing we didn’t win, huh? funny, it was so close for those first 90 seconds….
Section214 is my hero. Good shakes!
Theory
I think Kevin’s foot is much better than we know. Maybe he’s not playing for one reason…
Tanking.
OK, I don’t believe that, but i thought I’d throw it out there.

well we can look at it this way
could be worse… we didn’t finish a season winless (cough) 0-16
It was a good game, Both teams played hard. Both teams played hard, my man. Both teams played hard. Both teams played hard, God bless and good night.
Wow.
Didn’t break 20 in a single quarter.
That’s points, not total wins this year. Well, I said I could stand this for the greater good, but that, my dear friends, was fugly.
Progress is hard, I’ll still be here.
Rocks are free, and slingshots easily stolen.
I love that
Especially since I eat faithfully at Wendy’s. LOL
