Around SBN: Despite Relocation Drama, Coyotes Overcome Adversity

Francisco Garcia Goes Nuts Against Panama

On Wednesday, Francisco Garcia played valiantly for the Dominican Republic, but foul trouble for teammates Al Horford and Charlie Villanueva in addition to great play from Tiago Splitter gave Brazil the win. Garcia scored 17 points, shot 5-for-10 from three, and registered (cough) five blocks in the loss.

But he went ballistic Thursday against Panama, leading the D.R. to a 100-87 victory. Garcia scored 24 points, and shot 5-for-8 from deep. El Flaco is business!

There was actually some D.R. related drama earlier this week, as Charlie V and Horford were told their moms couldn't attend the big ceremony to kick off the tournament. Voices were apparently raised. Folks were made aware that Champ Villanueva drives a Dodge Stratus.

The Dominicans face Venezuela on Saturday afternoon.

This is why I like Garcia

He always brings it.

WORD!

Hopefully, Brockman will be our other “take no sh*t from nobody” type player to compliment ’Cisco. Zohan also seems to play with a little swag and attitude as well.

I love Cisco

He has been my favorite king for a while. If we can somehow combine him & Martin into one player with cisco’s fire, clutchness( I hope that’s a word), defensive intensity, attitude, & leadership, paired up with Martin’s all around scoring game we would probobly have 2009 kobe bryant on our team

Don't forget Kobe's douche-itude as well.

Even though he’s the best player in the world today, Wack Mamba is just so unlikeable…there’s just too much not to like, it’s a shame.

So glad I was born in an era to witness Akeem, Bernard, Magic, Larry, ’Nique, Pervis and MJ. Well, six of them dudes anyway.

btw, how funny will it be to watch Phil Jackson this season?

With Kobe b*tching all the time, Ron-ron jumping people in the opposing teams showers, Bynum scratching his balls at the other end of the court, Pau cursing in Spanish when nobody passes the ball to him, Fisher realizing his daughter needs medical treatment somewhere else, Vujacic hitting on the cheerleaders, Walton sucking up to everyone in any position of power… I love this game.

They will probably still go to the finals. But I do not envy the Z master. It is hard to sleep with your eyes open in a sitting position next to Jack Nicholson’s annoying banter about how he has nailed half the women in the stadium while Kobe is constantly glaring at you.

Ehh...Unfortunately, this season is the Laker's to lose.

I can never hate on Phil. He deserves everything he’s gotten and more.

I hated seeing the Lakers win it all and I will really hate seeing them roll through the West without a hitch next season.

It’s scary that this team has almost no flaws with the exception of having a legit crazy person on their team, who will probably behave so he can add a ring to his legacy. If there’s a coach to make this all work, it’s frikken PJ, and there’s nothing anybody in the West can do about it. Damn L.A.

I really really hope Portland and San Antonio stay healthy to give the Fake Show a run for its money.

I would add...

that, while it’s true his success is unmatched, Phil can be a condescending prick—see 2004 finals, gloating about not caring who came out of Piston/Pacers, & later the glee with which Kings fans saw it bite him in the ass….

THREADJACK QUESTION

Can the Kings sign Allen Iverson with the intention of trading him to the first contender that decides they need him? Wouldn’t an Allen+Andres-for-Zydrunas+JJ with the Kings waiving Zydrunas be a great trade come deadline time?

Mind you, I’m curtailing the fact the Kings need a center as their highest priority, the fact that AI does not in any way, shape or form fit on this team, that he might be a locker room problem (doubt that), that he will eat up playing time for our #4 pick, that Kevin Martin is a much better player. I’m just saying, in a business where talent matters, wouldn’t having AI on the roster with a just-chill-till-a-team-asks-for-you mentality be fantastic?

I’m delusional.

Victory is tasty.

by iashwash on Aug 27, 2009 7:49 PM PDT reply actions  

actually you are the Grizzlies

That is pretty much what they plan on doing. Attract crowds early, and then when it is settled that they will continue to lose, they will trade Iverson. Not a bad idea.
I think the Kings could definitely do this, except Iverson wouldn’t come off the bench behind a rookie, and the Kings want Evans to play.
Now, David Lee, on the other hand, could be useful to us now and as a tradeable asset. Could Petrie snag him away from the Knicks without losing too much money for the Maloofs?

by Ice_9ine on Aug 27, 2009 10:09 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions  

It makes perfect sense but...

I really just don’t want to see AI in a Kings uniform. It would probably equate to even more losses than wins along with K-Swift only getting 11 shots off a game. The Answer in a Kings uniform would make Kings games so difficult to watch.

So glad this newer generation of NBA stars play the game the right way and go to practice (Paul, Deron, Rose, Durant).

i am bummed about the Spurs having Splitter

Isn’t Duncan enough? How do they keep getting these guys? How can the Kings steal him?

His wiki says he was MVP of the euro finals 2 years in a row. His stats are impressive. If he turns out to be a solid center/forward beside Duncan, the Spurs could be all in this year.

by Ice_9ine on Aug 27, 2009 10:18 PM PDT via mobile reply actions  

Is Splitter coming over this year?

 I wasn’t aware of that.

actually, the spurs got more or less screwed with splitter

I remember him signing a giant deal overseas not too long ago, and I’m pretty sure it is long, and not buyout friendly.

He's not coming over anytime soon, maybe never
