Kings v. Spurs play-by-play thread

[VF21]

I'm still at work. Hopefully I'll be able to get home shortly after the game starts so I can do the play-by-play for those of you who won't be watching.

If someone wants to give it a shot until I can get home, you have my blessings.

GO KINGS!!!

[vj9999]

Peja with a long 2 over Barry.

[Bballkingsrock]

Yup they plyin small ball

[Bballkingsrock]

Evans in for Peja

[4cwebb]

Foul trouble really hurting the Kings by slowing the game down and taking guys out of their rhythm.

Peja at least shooting the ball much better tonight...

BJax misses a jumper; foul on Peja --- Barry to the line

[4cwebb]

Can the Kings get a defensive rebound? I've heard them fumble two in the last two possessions?

[Bballkingsrock]

Bibby wit foor pts

[fakie]

it's tied!!!
they do look much better tonight though. should be an interesting game

GO KINGS!

[4cwebb]

Bibby with a bucket - Kings down 25 to 23 near end of first quarter

[Bricklayer]

lol! :eek:

That might be the two smallest teams I've ever seen matched up against each other in the NBA -- Rose/Horry/Barry/Ginobilli/Parker vs. Songaila/barnes/Evans/Bobby/Bibby.

[mcsluggo]

well, it was after EVERYBODY had to sit down...

[albeitrue]

Christie has made all the difference on defense, I think.

[piksi]

Our 3 big man have 7 fouls total

[Zaromas]

Hmmm... Barnes starts 0-3... C'mon Matt show us last night wunt a fluke...

[mcsluggo]

Our 3 big man have 7 fouls totalmiller and tag have 5 fouls in about 6 minutes of game time

[Since93]

we can't stop Ginobili and Barry, that's why we foul so much.

[albeitrue]

Piksi, you can't just let 'em waltz into the lane and put it in, fouls prevent spurts.

Go DARIUS!!

[Bballkingsrock]

Darius makes free throw

32-33 Kings loseing

Peja long long three!!

[vj9999]

3pt line is too close for Peja :)

[Bballkingsrock]

Kings are winning 37-35!!!

[Since93]

christie is still a bit rusty.. but he will come thru..

[albeitrue]

While Grant irritates the sh*t outta me, I have missed Jerry. He's always positive and funny!

Peja's getting groove back. Bibby looking good...Web's next.

[Bballkingsrock]

2:40 left in the half. Spurs up by two

[piksi]

The guys that sucked yesterday - play OK tonight. The rest stuggles

[Since93]

Chris, being a leader doesn't mean forcing shot after shot.. just look at what Ducan did, please.

[Bballkingsrock]

I wonder where VF21 is?

[Heuge]

is this cwebb's first back-to-back since last season?

[piksi]

Chris, being a leader doesn't mean forcing shot after shot.. just look at what Ducan did, please.

You should not compare these 2 players. There are worlds in between

[fakie]

I wonder where VF21 is?
i think he said he's at work.

[Bballkingsrock]

Tim Duncan 20 points in the first half!!!

[piksi]

is this cwebb's first back-to-back since last season?

It is everybody's first back to back since the last season

Rebounding is just atrocious tonight...last night it was initial defense, and tonight it's giving up as many offensive rebounds as you have collected (almost).

[RAIDER925]

52-45 HALFTIME..spurs lead

[Bballkingsrock]

Tim Duncan 20 points 10 Rebounds

45-52 kings trailing Halftime

[albeitrue]

Duncan = basketball God...

[4cwebb]

When did CWebb start forcing shots? He only had two or three shots when he first went out of the game with 2 fouls.

[Since93]

You should not compare these 2 players. There are worlds in between
i just said wht a team leader should be.
i am not comparing the ablity of the two. :mad:

[Heuge]

Rebounding is just atrocious tonight...last night it was initial defense, and tonight it's giving up as many offensive rebounds as you have collected (almost).in their defense...the bigs have been in serious foul trouble

[4cwebb]

And who is guarding Duncan most of the time? Did Duncan make this run with Darius trying to check him, or is he abusing CWebb?

[piksi]

When did CWebb start forcing shots? He only had two or three shots when he first went out of the game with 2 fouls.

2-10 so far

[Since93]

When did CWebb start forcing shots? He only had two or three shots when he first went out of the game with 2 fouls.
2nd quarter.

[Heuge]

Webb stinks tonight. Peja REALLY stunk last night. Maybe they will both play well in Houston

[albeitrue]

And who is guarding Duncan most of the time? Did Duncan make this run with Darius trying to check him, or is he abusing CWebb?Web is on Duncan, then Darius.

[Bballkingsrock]

Yall happy wit my posts for the game? Any complaints, comments, for me?

[piksi]

Thanks for pointing that out. We did not know that

[Ryle]

He's abusing everyone.

[piksi]

Yall happy wit my posts for the game? Any complaints, comments, for me?

We could use better news ;)

[fakie]

good good job Bballkingsrock.

[Ryle]

Spurs have also shot 3 times as many free throws as the Kings have so I think we are pretty lucky to only be down 7.

[PejaFanatic]

No ball movement in the last couple of mins.......plss stop playing one on one and move the ball around when entering the second half.

[Bballkingsrock]

like what?

[Heuge]

Thanks for pointing that out. We did not know thatHey, there is nothing wrong with with pointing out the obvious, especially when it is wishing the Kings good will

[Bricklayer]

Webb looked uncomfortable out there from almost the tipoff. Gotta beleive he's feeling the knee a bit. Only real spark was when he tried to get real aggressive and attack Malik Rose when Duncan went out for a spell.


As for defending Duncan -- well, that's tough ont he best of days. But this game Duncan is kicking everybody's *** (much like Dirk last night). Not as if anybody we've put on him has even been able to slow him down. Miller = no. Darius = no. Tag = instant foul trouble. Just no answer tonight. On the positive side, I can recall several instances where Duncan has started like this in the past, and then tired down the stretch and finished wiht "only" 30pt 15reb type nights.

[albeitrue]

Good News Bricklayer, hope that Duncan does slow down, whew. If Chris is feeling the knee, hopefully he can get out there and at least lay a couple more fouls to at least TRY to stop some penetration under the basket!

[fakie]

webber's looking uncomfortable?
how's christie looking? is he playing lots of minutes?

[Since93]

each game we get our *** get kicked by somebody. last night Dirk, tonight Ducan, who's next?

[piksi]

WHat is going on ?
First he looks great than uncofortable. How is that connected with shooting jumpers? I am unable to watch the game so I am depending on stats which are deceiving most of the time.

[albeitrue]

I think Christie has played 3 times, maybe a total of 12 or 14 minutes? Anyone have stat on that?

[Bballkingsrock]

2nd half begins

[Since93]

i honestly think Webb is still not there. he just can't jump in the paint.

anyway start of 2nd half. Go Kings!!

[Bballkingsrock]

47-55 Kings trailing

Fakie, if you go to NBA.COM, i think they are still offering free audio feed, you just have to register there.

ok! ready!

Go KINGS!

[Bballkingsrock]

rasho made a two pointer

[Bballkingsrock]

my bad Miller with offensive foul

Fakie, if you go to NBA.COM, i think they are still offering free audio feed, you just have to register there.
thanks, i actually found the play-by-play on nba.com and it's serving me pretty well.
the connection at home is too slow so i am up here at school to monitor the game.
i don't think i'd be able to do it here, i tried a couple of times.
but thanks for telling me

[Bricklayer]

Webber just looks out of rhythm -- nto sure of quite what he wants to do, and he's thinking before he makes his moves. There's a discernible pause. As far as jumpers -- threw up a couple of quickies late. But its not so much a jumper trend (he's missed some point blank shots too) as just him seeming to be a little unsure how to attack and getting a little frustated.

[Bballkingsrock]

Kings trailing 8

[Bballkingsrock]

now 6

[vj9999]

DC doing it all by himself.

[albeitrue]

Ahhhh, DC steal with the fast break lay-in.

[4cwebb]

How do the Kings consistently refuse to rebound against teams like the Spurs. You know the Spurs aren't going to shoot the ball as well as other teams (like the Mavs), so how 'bout locking down the boards?

[Bballkingsrock]

Bruce layup

[Bballkingsrock]

Rasho layup

[Bballkingsrock]

Webber powers it inthen
Duncan layup

[Bballkingsrock]

Bibby moves to left, stops and pops it!

[4cwebb]

Is Bowen really doing a shutdown job on Peja this game? I'd like to see either Peja or Bibby take some additional shots since they are shooting well tonight.

[Bballkingsrock]

Parker lay-up

[4cwebb]

Again with the offensive rebound for Rasho!?!?!

[Since93]

Total lack of afford! :(

[Bballkingsrock]

Dont like what seeing

[Bballkingsrock]

Deavin brown foul
Webber putback(faked it about 5 timess)

[piksi]

Anyone still thinks that it was a good idea so swap Vlade for Ostertag?

[Bballkingsrock]

Another foul on brown, Bibby goes to free throw line

[Since93]

Anyone still thinks that it was a good idea so swap Vlade for Ostertag?
what are u talking about? :confused:

[Bballkingsrock]

Kings only down 6!

[Bballkingsrock]

Manu will go to the line(AGAIN)

[piksi]

what are u talking about? :confused:

About the fact that Vlade would be more useful 10 years from now than Ostertag today or yesterday or his whole career

[Since93]

first it's WEbb, now it's Peja forcing the shots... i don't know how Peja would thinks those shot will go in.

[Bballkingsrock]

Catch and shoot for Bibby

[rnmeuy]

what's going on with Peja's shooting this quarter? Has he made any shots?

[Bballkingsrock]

Kings down 9

[Since93]

About the fact that Vlade would be more useful 10 years from now than Ostertag today or yesterday or his whole career
ostertag is NOT the replacement of Vlade. Miller is. i still have no cue why u brought this up!

[Bballkingsrock]

Peja is doing OK

[Bballkingsrock]

Kings trailing 67-76
End of 3rd

[Mad D]

someone put some double sided tape on ostertag's wrapping

[Since93]

Peja is doing OK
peja is not ok. he's forcing his shot. none of his shot in the 3Q is good looks.

[piksi]

someone put some double sided tape on ostertag's wrapping

good one
:eek:

[albeitrue]

someone put some double sided tape on ostertag's wrappingLOL!!! He is kinda oafy out there tonight, but when his hand is feeling better I hope he can at least hold ON to the ball :eek:

[Bballkingsrock]

this is not good

[4cwebb]

Settling for jumpers isn't the way to fight back into the game. Looks like one team will have to win a game in Houston...

[fakie]

trailing by 15?

[fakie]

and we had such a strong start

[Bballkingsrock]

Peja 15 pints,4 rebounds, 3 asissts

[peja16]

Well, at least Houston lost both of their games, so we should beat them...

but knowing our D, Yao will probably get 25 and 15 by halftime.

[Bballkingsrock]

Bibby 16 pts,3 asissts, 3 rebounds

[piksi]

Settling for jumpers isn't the way to fight back into the game. Looks like one team will have to win a game in Houston...

Houston is 0-2 too

[4cwebb]

Is it really that difficult to attempt to get any offense in the paint? Christie seemed to be doing fine, and when CWebb goes into the paint he seems to have some success.

[Since93]

unless we trade or sign for a couple of PROVEN bench player in the season, it's gonna be a long but short season for us (i mean no playoffs). we players try their best IMO. our bench is just too thin.

it's sad.

[Bballkingsrock]

Make that 18 for Bibby!!

[fakie]

wonder what aldeman must be saying.........

[4cwebb]

Houston is 0-2 too
Yep, so at least one of the teams will come away a winner.

[Bballkingsrock]

Manu wit a three pointer

[Bballkingsrock]

Bobby is cold

[fakie]

Yep, so at least one of the teams will come away a winner.
that's like, pessimistic optimism........

[bibbyweb]

All of a sudden I don't feel that unhappy that I didn't get to watch this game :).

[Since93]

garbge time coming in, i can't watch anymore.

[Bballkingsrock]

Where is Kevin Martin?

[peja16]

Houston just lost to the Raptors of all people... The Raps big men are as big as Doug Christie, but they're still better defenders than our big men, which is just sad. you sohuld have seen poor Donyell Marshal and Loren Woods trying to stop him, and succeeding through sheer effort and concentration.

Now there's a concept. Yao career night.

70-86 kings losing

I am glad that there was no reason to be worried about the bad preseason

[Abe Frohman]

Ummmm, not good.

[Insomniacal Fan]

Did I read that on the statline correctly?

(8:47) [SAC] Miller Jump Shot: Missed Block: Barry (2 BLK)

[Bballkingsrock]

we are down 20 now :(

[piksi]

Did I read that on the statline correctly?

(8:47) [SAC] Miller Jump Shot: Missed Block: Barry (2 BLK)

does not surprise me. Barry is athletic enough to do that

[fakie]

seems like they tripped on their feet and never regained it.

[Bballkingsrock]

How do u qoute?

[Bballkingsrock]

I just figured it out now

[piksi]

There is no NBA team with the worse bench

[Insomniacal Fan]

We'll need a heckuva run to win this one

[Mad D]

like this

[Since93]

There is no NBA team with the worse bench
we may not be the worst, but very near.

[Ryle]

There is no NBA team with the worse bench
Your comments are old.......can you find another teams board to bother????

[Bballkingsrock]

Down by 21!!

[fakie]

like this
ha ha ha ha
that was really funny

[Bballkingsrock]

LOL Mad D!!

[vj9999]

I'd rather have a bad start to the season than a bad end.

[piksi]

Your comments are old.......can you find another teams board to bother????

truth hurts - doesn't it ?

[Since93]

how ironic will it be when we have the best starting five in the NBA while the worst bench in the NBA?

[4cwebb]

Rebounding has just been ugly tonight. 18 offensive rebounds to a team that shoots the ball poorly. CWebb and Peja not having good nights...why isn't Bibby forcing the issue more since he's hot.

[Bballkingsrock]

Looks like a 0-2 start to me. But I am positive we will win Saturday!

[4cwebb]

how ironic will it be when we have the best starting five in the NBA while the worst bench in the NBA?
Best starting 5 in the NBA might be a bit of a stretch at this point...where is Miller tonight?

TMass with an appearance against the Kings...

[Bballkingsrock]

Massenburg, Urggggg

[vj9999]

FTM is in the game.

[Bballkingsrock]

pretty move for Evans

[Ryle]

Doesn't everyone realize this is the second game of the season???


If this was the middle of the season and they lost back to back games to Dallas and San Antonio on the road would anyone be worried??? I am at least giving this team 20 games until I made my judgements on how the season was going to be. Jeez people.

By the way, I think the Spurs have never ACTUALLY committed a foul considering how much they bitch about being called for one.

[Bballkingsrock]

Looks like we comin back!!!
80-92
3:45 left in the game!!!

[fakie]

well, 12 points
what do you know?

[Insomniacal Fan]

Better late than never

[Heuge]

There are at least fifteen teams in the NBA with a worse bench.
our frontcourt (4-5) depth may be near the bottom though.
