The Curse Continues

by kingme18 on Dec 15, 2007 8:19 PM PST

For some reason every time I visit the Verizon Center, the teams I want to win loses:

2003-2004: Against an awful Wizards squad, Kwame Brown drops 30 points and grabs 19 rebounds as the Wizards pull off the upset of their season, 114-108.
2005-2006: Ron Artest recently dealt to Sacramento, the Kings were starting to turn it around after beginning the year playing just awful basketball. The Kings miss so many free throws and the Kings fall 107-117.

I just don't get it:

Tonight, other than an inspired 2nd quarter rally after trailing by 9 and cutting it to 1, the Kings come out at the 2nd half and just completely fall apart:

Deshawn Stevenson repeatedly hit three pointers
Kings turnover fest began
John, Beno, Mikki all played without energy and just didn't have it.
Kings continue to settle for three pointers
Brad gets completely overwhelmed by Brendan Haywood and gets T'd up.
Spencer Hawes and Quincy Douby, other than an aggressive dunk, looked very,very bad.
Danhtay Jones looked solid with a very nasty dunk that got the entire crowd oohing and ahhing
8. Let's add that looking at Kenny Thomas is just vomit inducing,no doubt about it. Old Yeller looks U-G-L-Y in that purple jersey.

Other than that, the Kings looked unimpressive, maybe back to back had something to do with but the Kings need to look at themselves in the mirror because it ain't pretty right now.

This is why trading Mikki Moore

as soon as possible makes alot of sense. I'm sorry your curse continues; that's no fun to go see the team you want to win lose.

Agree...

I wonder why we couldn't get Brezec or Hermann for Moore.

Hermann is a nice shooter, Brezec is a Brad Miller-lite but both have expiring contracts.

I'd settle for Othella

I don't care who it is as long as he comes off the cap at the end of this year.

I live in Utah, and every game I have seen at the Delta Center/Energy Solutions Arena, the Kings lose as well. The same year of the Ron Artest Trade, the Kings, wearing Gold Jerseys, did not make a single field goal the entire 4th quarter to lose after a third quarter lead. I also saw them lose in 03, to the Jazz in the playoffs. The only game of the series the Kings lost and I was there. I just watch on TV now, with Thurl Bailey and Pace Mannion setting me up for the game and getting me through the halftime show.
