Around SBN: Phil Mickelson Outshines Tiger Woods

The View From Section214, 2/2

This one's in honor of my pops, who would have turned 86 tomorrow -

Pregame I'm scanning the cheap seats hard, trying to figure out who might be TZ. I just have the feeling that he is a chest painter, though he may not have enough friends to spell out "K-I-N-G-S."
An action photo of 3-Wil is on the cover of the program (when did they manage to shoot that?), along with an inserted photo of two female season ticket holders that are being honored as season ticket holders of the night. Justin, you magnificent bastard, you've done it again!
I have seen three Bulls jersey's in the house, all of some guy named Jordan that wears #23. I don't see this guy anywhere on the roster.
The Bulls introduction includes Scott Skiles as head coach, complete with jumbotron picture. Oops.
Bibby gets the last player introduction, but the ovation for Martin was bigger. Pretty big applause for Brad, too.

1st Quarter
Sefolosha sounds like an EDD medication to us, and we all laugh when he winds up long on his 1st free throw. We find it even funnier when Martin leaks out on the next misfire.
Mikki is perturbed that Beno didn't hit him down low with a pass. I wonder if Beno gets mad whenever Mikki drops one of his passes.
Khryapa enters the game. Isn't that one of the side effects of taking Sefolosha?
Two and half left in the quarter and the Kings are up by two in spite of the Bulls' 80% field goal percentage.
Slamson hits a one-handed-backward-over-the-shoulder halfcourt shot. Say what you will about the overstuffed Pekingese, but that's damn impressive, especially in that costume.

2nd Quarter
We share a "Black History Month" moment. Why is it that the shortest month of the year is designated as Black History Month? Just another example of the man trying to keep a brother down.
Garcia and Moore are now having words after a botched switch on Tyrus Thomas.
The Bulls are now winning - The NBA, where unexplainable sh*t happens.
At the next practice every Kings player should have to write 100 times on the blackboard, "Good things happen when Kevin Martin is involved in the offense."

Halftime
Some dance team, much to the delight of their parents.

3rd Quarter
Ben is still yappin' after his "T." Does he want to go home early or is he just trying to drown out Peaches, who must be saying "Remember that technical later on" right about now?
Mike's shot is making me Bibbinauseaus.
Huge Mike just stepped into our section, and the world suddenly seems smaller.
The video on the jumbotron is asking various Kings how many pairs of shoes they own. Mike Bibby says "1,200." Kevin Martin says "Mike owns 1,200? That's like what a woman would own!"

4th Quarter
Down by two with six minutes left. This could result in a landslide for Jim Mora.
Contradiction in terms for the night - Jump ball between Miller and Nocioni.
Bibby scores his first basket with four and a half left but misses the free throw.
If you just arrived on this planet and had to form your opinions solely on what you have seen this week, Brad Miller is one of the best players in the NBA.
This place gets loud when a King comes through, but it gets loudest when Kevin Martin delivers. No doubt who the fan favorite is here.
Kings win!

Postgame
A very entertaining game. I think Brad did the double double, animal style for the 2nd time this week, and Martin had (I believe) 26 points on 12 shots. Oh, that Ben Gordon is pretty good, too.

Until we meet again, end transmission.

Well Done..
Section..Ugly game..But we'll take it.. almost to .500

On a side note. As myself and a buddy were watchin the game..here is a transcript from the beginning of the game when Slamson popped on screen.

Friend: "We have the worst Fuc*n mascot in the L"
Me: "c'mon man, he isnt that bad. He's no Gorilla but he aint that bad
TV: Shows Slamson hit the shot you mentioned
Me: "Nuff said..Id like to see the Utah Bear do that Sh*t!!!"

Congrats!
You picked an excellent game to attend.  Not only was it entertaining, on TV it featured three T's by the Bulls and a half time feature on various Kings players as football players (original concept!) starring Coach Peaches, not to mention a couple of minutes of the peach pits dressed head to toe in Giants gear.  They looked like cute dark blue Smurfs.  In fairness, Peaches does seem like a loving dad.  I almost liked him for about 30 seconds.  

Loved the bit about 3-Wil and the two female season ticket holders. Maybe Maloof marketing can make a one game "non-family" ticket pack out of that next year.  Available only at Goldie's.

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

Pops 214 would have been proud of you.

Thanks to Pops and Moms 214 for giving your son to StR. He is one funny dude with an eye for the absurd.  Highly entertaining and informative.    

Happy birthday to your Pops, 214.

Cheers to your pops!
Makes the win even sweeter I am sure.  Good summary as always.  

Love the comment about Crab-hands yelling at Beno for not getting the ball.  It's faaaantastic.

Contradiction in terms for the night
section 214 said: Contradiction in terms for the night - Jump ball between Miller and Nocioni.

I was far more highly amused by the "contradiction in terms for the night - Jump ball between"...Bibby("6'1"") and Noah(6'11").  I don't think Mike could have even tapped Noah's shoulder on that jump.

Between Mike and Brad, who has less vertical?  This season, I think it's Mike.  Yes, I know Mike is like a foot shorter than either Nocioni, Miller, or Noah.  I understand that Nocioni and Miller are like an inch apart in height so that was fairly funny (but didn't Brad end up tipping it out to Mike anyway?).

I know there are draft sites that measure future prospects vertical leaping ability but are there any that measure current NBA players verticals?

And yeah, there's probably a stat somewhere that, based on height, says Mike's 3" vertical is 57.62% better than Miller's 4.5" vertical.  

Even so, there have been some amazingly short guys in the league who had big hops. Boykins and Spud come to mind, but I know there are another couple of smallish guys currently in the NBA who can leap. Their names don't come to my mind readily and I'm too lazy to look them up, but they're there. (Paul, Pargo, and BJax come to mind because they looked so small last night)

Back to Nocioni...I was bothered every time they showed his face on TV tonight, I kept thinking he looked like a long lost Barry brother.  Weird.

/end Pookey style stream of conscience post.

It's been fun, at least for me.  Sorry if I made your eyes bleed.

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

How was the last Artest Dunk?
Ron doesn't dunk much. I think he wanted to make sure Noah knows his name.

Not an Artest fan but that dunk was sick.
Big moment of the game too.

Ron's dunk
The funny thing about that dunk is that it was immediately followed by a Bulls timeout, at which point Sefolosha came off the bench and tried to convey the traveling call to each of the refs, all of whom ignored him. I watched the replay on the jumbotron and it wasn't even close. Ron took one big step and was airborne. In fact, it happened so fast I think it caught a lot of the crowd by surprise. Ron got to the rim "James Worthy fast."

You called it
Peaches Napear harped on the 3 technicals repeatedly in the second half. It's such simplistic thinking to say "Kings up 2, Chicago had 3 technicals, Chicago would be winning game right now...grunt, grunt". Dumbass.

By the way, Kevin Martin rocks. Dude went for 26 on 12 shots. He's now shooting 46% from the field and 42% from threes on the season. At just over 24 points per game in the season, HE should be the All-Star snub everyone's talking about.

If it wasn't for the injury...I wonder what would have been said if he had been passed up for a slot without being injured?

Great recap Section
I enjoyed it thanks.

Back in the day...
the Kings would have lost a game like that where Bibby could not get his offense going.  Now others, like Martin and Artest, are able to make up for him.

by KingsFan on Feb 3, 2008 11:32 AM PST reply actions  

Hey Dave
I was thinking exactly the same thing. It's definitely the mark of a good team to be able to win ugly games when you are not playing your best.

Nocioni was the Peja of the night for the Bulls. Everyone except him apparently knew Ben Gordon was the man to be taking those last shots.

Tyrus Thomas had an interesting 15 minutes. Even though he didn't play well, he displayed a lot of athleticism. The Bulls should shorten the rotation and give Thomas more of Smith's minutes, and maybe he will show more.

Next 5 Games
Wed, Feb 6 Seattle
Fri, Feb 8 Utah
Sat, Feb 9 at Golden State
Tue, Feb 12 at Memphis
Wed, Feb 13 at Houston

We really need to win at least four of these five to keep our playoff hopes alive. I hope we don't look past Seattle to that Utah matchup, which should be a whale of a game.

by coolcatreportdotcom on Feb 3, 2008 9:52 PM PST reply actions  

Not going to be easy
The only gimme I see in there is the Memphis game, since their blow up they have nothing left.  Seattle already proved they can go toe to toe with the Kings.  Utah is a powerhouse on a roll.  Golden State always beats the hell out of the Kings.  By the time the Kings get to Houston they may not have much gas left in the tank.  There only chance there is getting Yow Ming in foul trouble.

by KingsFan on Feb 4, 2008 9:09 AM PST up reply actions  

3 out 5 aint bad
While (obviously)  4 of 5 would be ideal, if the Kings pull out 3 of 5, I think they'll continue to become more confident.

a win on the road against a Pacific division rival.....that's like 2 wins for the effort of 1.I want a win against the Dubbs...

(here's a thought...maybe C-Webb can slow them down).

Miller
I too was at the game, I didn't realise that Heinrich and Miller were such good mates, they seemed to talking the entire game

Martin has 15 points at the half and they seemed to forget about him after half time

That was an awsome half court shot by Slamson

by Murf on Feb 4, 2008 7:49 AM PST reply actions  

Martin
May have been the topic of some locker room conversation at halftime. Something along the lines of "That Martin kid is killing us. Whatever you do, deny him the ball. Let somebody else beat us."

I've noticed a lot of times that when a player virtually disappears from the offense in the second half, it's less about his teammates forgetting about him and more about how he's being covered.

by LeaguePassAddict on Feb 4, 2008 8:12 AM PST up reply actions  

Yeah
Hinrich really stayed in Martin's face in the second half. The ball movement did die in the fourth, though.
