I d like to believe you..
But does it really.. Losing to minny in their house.. Some bonehead TO’s late sealed it. Wonder if “IN the FUtURE” they will remember this crap..
I'm talking about
Ping pong balls. That’s how this helps us. I hope a good player in the draft makes this worth it

But then the winter came, and the grasshopper died, and the octopus ate all his acorns. Also he got a race car. Is any of this getting through to you?"

Magic Pill??
Can somebody tell me if there is some kind of magic shooting pill King’s opponents take before games? Doesn’t seem to matter how good the opposition normally is. They still end up absolutely stroking the long ball for a big chunk of the game. I’m not just talking about poorly guarded outside jumpers, I’m talking about everything! What gives??
It's called confidence. They know they are playing the Kings.
To be the best, you have to do your best. Otherwise, you are only second-rate.
I would also add the Minnie-haw-haws seemed to want it more....
After all, hadn’t they lost 16 in a row before this?I’m sure they saw this as a ‘must win’. Any team (even a good team) can be beaten by another team that wants it more….the Kings didn’t seem to ‘want it’ until the 4th quarter…I’m surprised that it was as close as it was considering the disparity in rebounds, poor offensive second quarter, etc.
all that said, i woulda preferred a win…I’m getting tired of this; it’s dispiriting.

I agree with you.
They had lost 16 in a row, which must have been demoralizing to say the least. I would agree that they probably did want the win more than the Kings. As much as the Kings’ players say they want to finish strong, they really do not seem all that hungry.
I am getting tired of the losing, as well. But, since they are not playing for a playoff berth, I can see where they might not be all that motivated at this point. After all, the Kings did better than they were expected to this season.
To be the best, you have to do your best. Otherwise, you are only second-rate.
A young beat up team that is still figuring things out.
I may be the only one, but an 0-fer when you’re a championship team on a 5 game swing is inexcusable. When you’re a team that had lost 49 games already on the season, it’s probably why you’ve lost 49 games up until that point.

You're not the only one
I’m with you in regards to keeping things positive with a young team. No arguments there. But this is the Wolves and they’re terrible and that’s the main reason I’m so frustrated tonight.
These things definitely happen to teams this young and I’m overreacting in fun. Plus you know, the whole drinking thing…

Will do.
But it feels like he would be less annoying if we were fighting for a playoff spot. For example, as opposed to being an 11 out of 10 on the annoying scale; He might go down to an 8.5
by madmavmathews on Mar 31, 2010 8:16 PM PDT up reply actions
He's doing that to ignore how poorly the team is playing and to avoid talking about the injuries and how it's effected this team.
Grant Napear is a lot of things, and many of them annoying, but he is not a terrible PBP guy. He’s rather good at it really. But everything he does isn’t anything different from a Cle broadcast on any given night.

Trying to be more so.
A lot of places are reducing their string sections, and I’m fairly un-established. More time to practice I guess! I’ve found that while watching Kings games is a fairly good time for memory work lol.
Oops...I didn't mean for that to be so short...
I got my M.M. in Music theory/Composition in ‘92 so before your sister was there….’90 I was at UCLA; I’ve started accompanying students there recently for recitals; like you i gig where I can!

Well 530 is like the Eastern half of Northern Cali that isn't in the 916 or 209
It goes all the way to the Oregon better and cuts the valley in half where 707 takes the West side.
But the difference is that 530 goes as far west as Fairfield (TZ would know better than I) and 707 goes as far south as Vallejo and Rio Vista I believe.

Well I asked about getting together for the Peachquel
Only Mack responded and said it couldn’t happen. I don’t have a problem getting together for a game here in the next few weeks (whenever’s convenient for folks) provided that people want to get together.
There’s already a Peachquel thread if you want to use that to get folks together. (There is about 6 or 7 of us up here right now as far as I can tell.)

Why is there no love being given for Downtown Seattle?
I live right across from the Fairmont hotel, a lot of nice places within a few blocks walk.
Did I say I hated DT Seattle? No Mofo.
I might also throw eggs at your condo too.

Yeah he says it's easier for him to watch games when the Kings go back east as opposed to when they play on the West Coast.
That could be cuz of when he works/sleeps and what not (obviously).

Usually West coast games are around 12-1pm during the day, So if you have to work during the day, Your Kinda fucked. Luckily for me @ the moment I work from home, So I can do whatever the fuck I want!
Good thing.
How did you become a Kings fan?

Lived in Sac from 1993-2001.. Good time to be a Kings fan, well part of it..
I ve only been back once since, that was in 2007, caught a pre-season game in the ron artest era. Supposed to come back September this year, and Im trying to push it back to BBall season so I can catch a game or two, but the wifey wants to be there for her bday and she hasnt seen her fam in two years, so I really dont have an arguement.. FUCK..
That makes sense Chen. I remember you saying you lived in the US.
So you remember the years with Mitch and what not.

yea no doubt
I think Yogi Stewart was there when I first got there, then we got the animal and later brian grant.
Yogi didn't come until 1997
The Animal & Grant came in 1994.

Okay
But Yogi didn’t come until 1997. Brian Grant & MIchael Smith came in 1994. Corliss Williamson had been on the Kings 2 year by the time Yogi was on the Kings.

Maybe it was even 92 then
I remember draft day listening on the radio, I think the Kings had the 13th pick, and someone said on the radio right before the kings were on the clock to pick, “were gonna get Corliss Williamson” and there was a huge cheer… Weird thing to remember…
Corliss was drated 1995
Peja 1996.

Some of the older guys I remember off the top of my head.. I dont really know why I became a Kings fan, They sucked. I guess I was just a huge fan of basketball and I lived in Sac, So I wanted to support the local crew. Been a fan since..
By Chris Jackson you mean Mahmoud Abdul Rauf then yep.
Chen, that’s the same reason I became a fan. Because I’m from Sac and wanted to support the local team. I almost became a Blazer fan in 1992, but chose not to. I’m glad I made my choice to stay with the local guys.

yea him
I didnt want to attempt spelling his name so I went with his AKA.. I heard he was playing ball overseas some where and something bad was going on with him these days. Can’t remember where I heard it from. Blazers were pretty good at the time, Glad I stuck with the local team too, Nothing better than seeing a team go from shit to “The Shit” makes the experience that much more fulfilling..
Well said about the transistion from going bottom to top.
There is nothing better IMO.

I’ve just subbed there occasionally. The only orchestra around here that I’m officially a member of is North State. You live in LA then? Or more around Sac?

Rebounding
Kings can’t win consistently with a power forward that averages 7.5 rebounds per 40 minutes. Kings need a rebounding center bigtime. Among other things.

He's too intense to handle losing well.

C'mon
KG cusses all the fucking time.
I went to a Nets game his first season with the Celtics. Ten rows up, I feared for my life while he was on the court. If it wasn’t for basketball, KG would be a homocidal maniac on everybody’s Most Wanted list. He’d be Napoleon with height, and pure wanton lust for his enemies blood. The scary part of that? KG considers everyone his enemy, even his teammates. I mean, this the guy who punched Leon Powe so hard in congratulations after a good play that the kid bruised. He’s fucking insane, he is assuredly pathologically competitive, and he is undoubtedly the scariest motherfucker on the court.

Which is probably a good rep for a defensive player to have; scaring the bejesus outta everyone....
but classy it is not. Not that he cares about that, I’m sure.My favorite player on the Celtics roster is Rondo; i remember the first time I saw him play when he was in college for kentucky and I said to myself:“That young man is one sneaky little thief!”

Nobody likes to lose but at this point...
It helps us keep chalkin up those %s for getting a pretty lottery ball maybe?
I'm really going to have write my tanking post very soon. Like now.
Why do people think that losing means a better pick in the lottery? IT’S A FRIGGIN LOTTERY FOR CHRISSAKES!

WOW!!
Went to the gym to ball instead of watching the game and I’m glad I did. It’s hard to to convince my friends and family the Kings are going in the right direction when they lose to Minny and NJ!! That’s why I love this site though, we are all so damn optimistic.
yea they would
I dont know how though. Wonder if they d draft wall with bdiddy there..
Who ever they draft will probably get injured..
I love this site
because people are smart enough to know that the Kings ARE going in the right direction

I wouldnt mind being a warriors fan..
Specially if Elison buys them. They had a lot of injuries this year, and they should get a decent draft pick this year.. Still a Kings fan though..
Somewhere Saer Sene & Loren Woods
are praying “please God just let me get signed for a 10 day contract the week whatever team plays the Kings, please!” Really Darko? I know he has been playing well but not like this. Like I said before teams are lickin their chops to play the Kings.
I was all for winning over tanking for a higher pick but the New Jersey game just sucked the life out of me. The only thing I care about now is 20-5-5. I do hope the team atleast gets their 25th win so PW can get paid he deserves it.
Demarcus Cousins baby!
I love beating dead horses.
Un F'n believable...
I go to the Los Lobos concert in Modesto and come out to find the Kings have lost to a team that had a 16 game losing streak going. Un F’n believable!!! We must now officially be the door mat for the league. This is getting F’n old.

I just can't get upset over this Kings team this season
Progress, however slow, is still progress. From the worst team in the League to the 5th or 6th worst is okay. Really. Does it matter so much that the Kings win all of the games against Playoff contenders or dregs when the season record is counted?
The young squad is playing hard. They hustle. I like the coach. And this draft will improve the talent base more. In this NBA you have to lose to get better. Losing hurts but this team is looking up. The team will need another two seasons to make some noise.
Reality (sucks).
The positives of this latest game:
Donté with 21 points and 5-6 from 3 pt land
Tyreke had great numbers – 13 assists!
Landry is incredibly consistent, 22 pts tonight – the guy has had double digit scoring every game as a King.
Only 8 players logged PT v. TWolves. with Udoka and Brockman only 8 and 13 mins. This was not a full strength team and for the Kings to win they need everyone. Or did you think that just showing up would have the opposition forfeit?

Most teams throughout NbA history have essentially mandated you lose to get top picks.
The thing was that there was so many loopholes that teams like the C’s & Lakers found ways to exploit them. Now, there are no loopholes (even the Memphis Grizzlies) to really exploit to get better.

hence, the lottery
the rest of this season, since the All-Star break (or earlier) has been a waiting game for the draft. The top teams fight over playoff position, the lower teams over lottery draft position, that’s just the way it is.

I am not agreeing or disagreeing
but next year this team starts anew. Just like the Nets and the TWolves and everyone else. Just like this year.
Finishing strong? 1, 2, 4, 5 wins, doesn’t matter. The record wipes out all meaning to strong, IMO – greater than 50 losses, (more like 55) is rotten. Period.

Didn't get to see the whole game due to travel
But I caught most of the third and part of the fourth. I know the defense is bad, but the offense was a big culprit IMO. From what I saw, there was very little pushing of the ball coming up the floor to get into position quickly, and very little ball or player movement. It didn’t appear that Minnesota’s defense was causing this issue, both Beno and Tyreke just didn’t appear to bring the ball up or run the offense with purpose.
It was very frustrating to watch.
