GAME 77 vs Evil Los Angeles, Game Thread

by Tom Ziller on Apr 6, 2008 4:59 PM PDT in Game Threads

Another night, another spoiler alert. The Lakers visit Sacramento for the last time until next spring. And I hear the gym's sold out. (Praying for no M-V-P chants.)

As you'd expect, Kurt from Forum Blue & Gold has a thoughtful preview, which reminds us how potent the Kings' screen-roll and cut-focused offense was against the Lakers last time around. I have a pleasant memory from that game, and I'm sure you all recall it a bit too.

This should be a highly offensive game. 6:00 p.m. is the start. Go Kings.

I agree!

You're like the Odenized of Kings basketball.

Speaking for myself, I really really appreciate all the clips you've put up.

yeah odenized somehow manages to watch every single NBA game and get clips.

I however have my priorities. :)

I also appreciate all of your videos. Thanks!

God bless you, Corliss. You always played as though you knew how expensive my tickets were. -section214

Play the young guys...

Reggie has no excuse not to play the young guys. The Kings have more than matched last season's total, established himself as a coach by giving himself an A this season.

If Reggie wants to be short-sighted by "mucking up the playoff picture" then he's not doing his job.

I am not saying go tank the season, the Kings need to give their young players additional experience. Kevin, Ron, Brad, Mikki and Beno don't need to play 38+ minutes now. They only need to play 20-25 minutes.

I feel bad for Quincy who never got a chance to learn by making mistakes.

Shelden average a double-double last month of the season of his rookie year and showed some flashes that he can perhaps play effectively in the NBA. He could really use an opportunity to play some meaningful minutes.

Even Francisco: This could be a time for Cisco to work on being a leader and improve his ball handling skills.

What?!

I actually get to watch a game? Shocking! Unfortunately I have to listen to Stu of KCAL 9 - I think he might be worse than Peaches.

why

does Kevin sit early and ron gets to continue to force horrible shots....

this team gels a lot better with ron in street clothes

by kingsTV on Apr 6, 2008 6:41 PM PDT reply actions

Paradox

Ron is our most dominant player. Sometimes this is good, sometimes it is not.

How's that one saying go...

The Lakers are like the aids virus... You can do enough drugs to suppress the pain, but there is no remedy to completely alleviate their existence.

at least the ARCO faithful are showing Laker fans how to really be fans, they've done a great job shutting up all of those bandwagoners

by kingsTV on Apr 6, 2008 8:09 PM PDT reply actions

Dear ARCO faithful

please dont leave early tonight. No matter how bad the game gets, do not leave. I can handle a blowout loss to the Lakers at home (barely), but I cannot handle hearing Kobe get MVP chants in our building. This is all I ask of you. Please.

Wait....Why is everybody clapping? Everyone around me is clapping.... I guess I should be clapping too... GO LAKERS!!! I hate living in So Cal

well so much

for sticking it out. Man I was there at arco, we were drowning out the "M-V-P" and "Lets Go Lakers" chants for a while but there only so much 6,000 Kings fans can do

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.

by KingsShow1988 on Apr 6, 2008 11:09 PM PDT up reply actions

You did good

I was watching the KCAL9 (local SoCal) broadcast, and the boo's beat out the MVP chants. I could still hear them, but the boo's were WAY louder. I thank you and the 5,999 other Kings fans more than you know.

Silver lining, silver lining

Let's see, where is that frickin' thing? Mom always said if you looked hard enough you could find a silver lining...that lying bi...wait a minute...well, it will have to do: Kevin Martin is 4 points away from officially qualifying for the scoring stats, and as of right now he would finish 6th, behind LeBron, Kobe, AI, 'Melo and Amare, and ahead of Dirk.

...and a double double for Hawes with a couple of blocks...

...and at least I wasn't there...
