We wuz wrong, AJ was rejuvinated
Just an amazing game for the Kings, GSW weren't playing soft, just off and the Kings took advantage.
Double double. According to Hollinger's PER stats the five Kings starters were 5 of the 6 best players in the game. B-diddy was #3.
Wow.

Total onslaughts like this
I love it when the Kings play spoiler though. Let's get 'er done.
AJ
I'm graduating from the fifth grade again!
Much nostalgia.
Ah-
I may need to poke a whole in a piece of cardboard or wear welding goggles when I go to the game tonight, as staring directly at this game might harm my eyesight.
never underestimate the power of beetlejuice...
There is proof of this unbelievable occurrence:

Well,
Not sure how AJ starting
by Kfan in Korea on Mar 18, 2008 7:09 PM PDT up reply actions
Martin got hit in the face
Kevin stays in the Game, was poked in the eye
Are you watching this?
Shelden had a couple of exciting moves in his minutes. Splitting a double team with a huge first step and an assist to Martin in a scrum.
So, far I've yelled out loud four times, twice for Shelden and twice for the AJ to Martin connect.
Based on the entertainment level in the first half, I'll hold back on my grumbles. For now.

If you don't like this...
I had such low expectations for this game after the injuries to Hawes, Udrih, and Salmons were announced.
Well, Salmons is playing well off of the bench and AJ has been solid so far. Not many points for AJ but 7 assists so far at half time. Salmons hasn't made much of an impact but he's moving well.
Martin is aggressive, the kids are jumping for rebounds, Ron is tightly wound and could go either way, and Miller's been aggressive, as well.
Honestly, they've made more of a game of it than I expected. Unbelieveably, they have the lead at the half, they are obviously not going for tanking and as a fan, I appreciate it. Thank you, Kings.
I felt bad for Section214 for having tickets to this game but the fans are having a good time, it's been pretty freakin' loud during the first half. Now I am jealous instead. So far, so much fun.
As I said in an earlier post, I'll save my grumbles for later if they don't play this way in the second half.
Now, back to the game!
Iawash, I'm doing my best to earn you some chalupas and I never post during gametime.
You are late
Said with love.

I'm not a huge Artest fan, but he could have made the difference for them. Artest is a great teammate in his first 18-24 months on a team.

I was originally going for a Family Guy reference.
Sheesh,
I am so sorry for completely misspelling your handle all night.
I don't watch Family Guy so that flew completely over my head.
And that should be either "Miss" or "Ms." to you, sir.

She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said Lola

Well I'm not the world's most physical guy
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
Oh my Lola la-la-la-la Lola

Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man

Girls and fine whine
I am, as a friend likes to put it: A woman; good and grown. You may address me by my screen name or as either a woman or a lady.
If I wanted to put up a bracket, I would have done so already.
Unlike you, boy? I know my limitations and accept them. I don't post where I have no business posting. I don't follow college basketball closely enough to feel qualified to enter an NCAA tournament bracket. I have one team I follow loosely and I don't get to see them often enough to feel qualified to even enter a bracket for their conference.
You earned a lot of good will from users of this site by starting your Yahoo group, don't blow it all in one day by being a dick, again.
If you think you're playing all up on me, or you've gotten under my skin, think again. I've told you before, you tire me. You take away from my enjoyment of this site, but the good so far outweighs your B.S. that it's not even funny.
Now, get off my leg. I hate dogs that hump.
Normally putting CC in his place would be
All Hat and No Cattle
Sorry to trouble you.
As for being "put in my place," you guys are still trying to get to first base. Hint: you need to leave the batter's box first.

AJ with another board
So, what are the odds:
Stop Mikki Moore was a scouting report prioirity for the Dubs.
Kevin gets up 22 shots next game?
Your thoughts? More odds?
Standing O
The Kings are a team with guts and pride.
AJ Double-Double
Definitely have to give him the game ball.

What the heck does that mean, anyway?
first initial, last name
**yes, that's a joke. Though, I really don't care about spelling.
Sorry again.
But out of curiousity, your last name is Ashwash?
I've never heard of that one before. Again, my apologies.
Now, who wants to sex iashwash?
Joke retired, I'll never bring it up again as long as iashwash agrees to retire his finger wag.
Again, typed with love.

LOL at Warriors Fans
I love the way they play but the fans much like their pathetic Warriors are substance-less. They'll put points on the board and make things look nice but if they make the playoffs and all of the smoke and mirrors go away, the playoffs will expose the Warriors as an overrated and defenseless bunch like what Utah showed them in the 2nd round.
I think that has more to do with

So you can't apparently be a fan of the Kings if they are around. That's fine; we'll hold down the fort for you in the meantime.

Actually
I just know you're incapable of having a conversation that includes a thought out logical conclusion backing up actual facts that exist (and not the one's you skewer and twist to make your point).
That's Your Opinion
We actually have 39 folks who like "the bullshit excuse to follow the NCAAs." Meanwhile, you just keep on ranting, and I'll sometimes respond to the occasional thoughts that are actually coherent.
Sometimes you bring some good stuff to the board. Other times you fall far, far short of that standard. It's too bad and rather pitiful at the same time.

Introducing the Pookey Fund
I agree - you are a tough guy to shake.
I called you on it a while back, saying if I had a nickel for every cheap shot you tossed my way I could buy a Peaches shirt.
Anyway, no one wants to read this tit-for-tat and I certainly don't want to be a part of it any longer. At the same time, I really don't feel like putting up with your non-stop crapathon.
My solution is to start the Pookey Fund. Every time you throw some BS my way, rather than respond, I'll simply add a post that updates the Pookey Fund, adding a nickle to the pot each time.
