Kings vs. Sonics (11/11)

[4cwebb]

CWebb firing and missing from the perimeter. Allen with a 4-point play, now up 12 - 6.

CWebb misses a shot in the paint...if it's not going, stop shooting and let someone else shoot the basketball.

Timeout Kings...14-6 Sonics.

many were praising him too much last night. That has a wierd way to backfire. He has trouble with back to backs because the knee just can not handle it. I hope he realizes it before the game gets out of control.

[4cwebb]

Peja and CWebb both open the game shooting 1 for 6...

[vj9999]

I hate ESPN double headers. I wish all games were on League Pass. I paid for the stupid thing I might as well watch all the games. Sorry just venting. We are always on the short end of the stick since West conference games start later.

[vj9999]

I prefer we start sloppy and slow and finish strong as opposed to starting strong and then falling apart later on.

[4cwebb]

Kings 4 of 20 to start the game. What happened to the offensive movement from last night?

[4cwebb]

If you're 1 for 8, let someone else shoot the basketball, CWebb (although it's not as if anyone else has a hot hand).

[4cwebb]

Peja finally hits a three (thank goodness the Kings didn't forget how to make a basket), but Vlad R. answers with a three...

[andjel]

What is this about 2 technical fouls in 1st quarter?

[piksi]

Now, I know why we got Ostertag

[jon e]

dammit, as soon as the game comes on, the storms kick up and my sattelite goes out...

[piksi]

we suck

[rnmeuy]

if Peja is the only main scorer on the floor, why aren't they letting the offense go through him?
what's the point of having him on the floor, if he doesn't even get to touch the ball.

[6th]

if Peja is the only main scorer on the floor, why aren't they letting the offense go through him?
What the heck good is a scorer who can't even buy a bucket? No one is hitting their shots were a damn.

[Rookie]

I hate to agree with you piksi but you're right....man they look horrible.
I hope they play better after this time out.

[Evenstar]

what a difference 24 hours makes......

we are making danny fortson look like tim duncan.... *barf*

[6th]

I know that a lot of fans get to watch the Kings when they are on ESPN, but blech....they play awful when they are on ESPN. TOTALLY different team than the one that played last night.

[Kingaholic]

Has ever been a team to go 0-41 away and 41-0 home. We may just have that team

[6th]

Has ever been a team to go 0-41 away and 41-0 home. We may just have that team
LOL....well, let's hope not.

[Jkbiker]

miller with a put back Yeah!!!!!
Barnes to the foul line for 0 for two
bobby for 2
Miller gets whacked in the jaw, by fortson
no call

[4cwebb]

how can the Kings run their offense poorly enough to shoot in the low 20s? Ridiculous.

[Evenstar]

it figures 6th, the ones who don't live in sacramento or have LP miss all the good stuff ;) ESPN blows, we do better on TNT.

come on kings, show us something! the cavs fought hard, DO THE SAME!!!!!

ps did that 3 from big Z remind anyone of that miller 3 vs the jailblazers last year :D

LETS GO KINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jkbiker]

getting good shots just nothing falling for us tonight

[Evenstar]

ok what is with the pippi longstockings look this year????

spreewell, hudson fortson. do you guys relize how STUPID you look????? where are the ribbons????

hahah piksi, yah at this rate we might the first team to do that :D

[Evenstar]

ooo nice O board webber to miller for the bucket and the foul

it begins :D

LETS GO KINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kingaholic]

Were playing this bad and yet we are hanging in there. If we can cut it to under ten by half I'll be happy.

[4cwebb]

I like Barnes' energy, but sometimes it causes him to make silly mistakes (witness the foul on Lewis' three pointer).

[Evenstar]

man miller is just getting KILLED out there. get him some big time ICE at halftime.

[Bricklayer]

okay, that was just a little ugly.

[rnmeuy]

more than a little ugly

[KingKong]

Is Seattle playing good D or are we just not making any shots??? Is there any ball movement at all in our offense?

[justthisonce]

it would be the second i said this:

seems like either we play too good or too bad. there's no such thing as 'average' game for kings :(

[Kingaholic]

Well the good news is... it can't get much worse and they are still in the game

[piksi]

Nobody playing well.
Everybody just selfish
Our bench is beyond sad.
Ostertag is useless
#9 and #5 ( I do not even want to know their names) would not even be substitutes in an average team in Europe. On top of all that - no coaching again.
My eyes are hurting from watching that.

P.S>

at least LAL lost

[piksi]

Is Seattle playing good D or are we just not making any shots??? Is there any ball movement at all in our offense?

We just suck.

Everybody

[KingKong]

I hopw Adleman fgived them an earful.

[Kingaholic]

Is Seattle playing good D or are we just not making any shots??? Is there any ball movement at all in our offense?
I think a little bit of both. When we do get open looks we cant seem to knock them down.

[piksi]

Well the good news is... it can't get much worse and they are still in the game

Are You sure ?

[Kingaholic]

We just suck.

Everybody
At least we don't have anybody that need a break to promote their new rap album:D

[Kingaholic]

Are You sure ?
Um... I'm Optomistic

[piksi]

At least we don't have anybody that need a break to promote their new rap album:D

What a comforting fact :eek:

Are we really that low

[rnmeuy]

what are the chances of the Kings coming back and winning? in previous seasons I would definitely stay up to watch the game, but for some reason I don't have a good feeling about the Kings coming back in this game. should I just go to bed? (have to be up early to see patients tomorrow)

[Heuge]

Id hate to see what you all would think if we were down by 20+ at half.

[Bricklayer]

Oh, we could still do it. Effort in the late second quarter was excellent. Just can not seem to get any flow whatsoever, but all it would take would be about 3 or 4 shots to fall and we'd be right there.

[piksi]

Id hate to see what you all would think if we were down by 20+ at half.

same - it is called a desertion

[piksi]

Oh, we could still do it. Effort in the late second quarter was excellent. Just can not seem to get any flow whatsoever, but all it would take would be about 3 or 4 shots to fall and we'd be right there.

How can You get a flow if NOBODY is passing the ball. 11 FGM in a half by a Kings team.

[xrzn]

It'd be nice if we were scoring points while we were drawing all these fouls.

[Heuge]

8 point game. Maybe some of us can start liking this team again :rolleyes:

[Bricklayer]

Here we come. Still not hitting shots, but just outsmarting the Sonics boneheaded big men. Hard to see us winning it without getting into the flow, but we've still got a chance.

[LeeMR2]

Kings are picking it up, down by 9 with web still at the line

[piksi]

Unfortunately, our starters can not play whole time. No matter how bad they play - they still beat our bench

[piksi]

Here we come. Still not hitting shots, but just outsmarting the Sonics boneheaded big men. Hard to see us winning it without getting into the flow, but we've still got a chance.

Untill RA decides to sub

[Kingaholic]

Get A Rebound

[piksi]

Get A Rebound

Webber is trying. Who are we kidding here ? His knee is not OK. No lift at all.
Nobody can tell me that Fortson can take away a rebound from a nearly healthy Webber

[vj9999]

I think Miller should teach Fortson a lesson, even if he picks up a technical doing it.

[Bricklayer]

Immensely frustrating game. We've had chance after chance to close it and somebody always ****s up just in time to kill our momentum. Most recent two = Doug with the idiotic unnecessary behind the back pass, and Peja with the bizarre double clutch turnover after missing the wide open three. Just can't make the key play.

[xrzn]

Just when we made somewhat of a roll, we just decide to not run an offensive play and just stand around and see what happens.

[Bricklayer]

Webber is trying. Who are we kidding here ? His knee is not OK. No lift at all.
Nobody can tell me that Fortson can take away a rebound from a nearly healthy Webber
Really? You do realize that Fortson might be the single best rebounder in the entire league right? he's a complete beast. All he normally does. But that he does as well as anyone.

[6th]

I think Miller should teach Fortson a lesson, even if he picks up a technical doing it.
Yes, a well placed elbow (or fist) right to the chops would do it for me. :eek:

[Kingaholic]

Webber is trying. Who are we kidding here ? His knee is not OK. No lift at all.
Nobody can tell me that Fortson can take away a rebound from a nearly healthy Webber
This would be understandable if being out jumped was the reason... but he seems to not be boxing out or puting a body on anyone when the shot goes up. And it is not only Webber, this could be said for all of the King's Bigs

[piksi]

Another "rookie" killing M. Bibby. Mike is the worst defender on position 1 in the NBA

[Heuge]

It seems like Bobby has lost a step on defense this year.

[Lamar_Odom]

6th,

Getting down and dirty, eh?

[xrzn]

If out of this timeout we don't get anything going and actually keeping it up, I don't see us winning this game at all.

[6th]

6th,

Getting down and dirty, eh?

Moi??? Someone must have snuck in and used my keyboard when I wasn't looking. ;)

[Bricklayer]

It seems like Bobby has lost a step on defense this year.
he was actually doing a good job on Allen earlier in the game. Ridnour's a quick guy.

[Evenstar]

*sigh*

hopefully one of these *road* games, the shots will fall. we have to get some road wins.

COME ON KINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lamar_Odom]

Bobby Jackson is very quick. Or he used to be.

[Kingaholic]

I dont know the stats but we are just about the worst rebounding team in the league

[Lamar_Odom]

Rebounding is about desire.

[Kingaholic]

How many free throws has Bibby missed tonight?

[piksi]

RA just lost it.
Webber is playing 5. We can not get a rebound, hit a shot ot a FT

[Kingaholic]

Rebounding is about desire.I know and even when the kings got to within 9 they did not seem to have any emotion or desire

[Lamar_Odom]

The Sonics are actually playing a physical game. It looks like it's taking its toll on the Kings.

[piksi]

How many free throws has Bibby missed tonight?


5-10

[justthisonce]

it's almost painful to watch this...

[piksi]

didn't we address our rebounding weaknes over the summer ? We brought ...

Never mind.

[piksi]

it's almost painful to watch this...

almost ???

[justthisonce]

didn't we address our rebounding weaknes over the summer ? We brought ...

Never mind.
his jersey # does mean something... his points.

[justthisonce]

almost ???
i'll take that back. it is painful to watch the game. :mad:

[Lamar_Odom]

Speaking of the rebounding answer, what's up with Ostertag?

[Kingaholic]

We need an emotional leader... Someone who will get the team PUMPED and EXCITED to PLAY

[piksi]

Speaking of the rebounding answer, what's up with Ostertag?

He is having just his usual performance

[justthisonce]

seems like there are quite a few of kings fans in seattle...

[KingKong]

The Sonics won this game the second it started

[webberfan]

wow, what a pathetic performance. no one can buy a bucket, and danny freaking fortson, who was just garbage in dallas, is playing like wes unseld, chuck barkley, and paul silas all rolled up in one.

i think i'm gonna barf.

[Lamar_Odom]

We need an emotional leader... Someone who will get the team PUMPED and EXCITED to PLAY
For a while, I thought you were talking about Kobe. ;)

[Kingaholic]

Where is the effort... WHere is the desire... Where is the hustle... WHERE ARE THE KINGS?

[piksi]

The Sonics won this game the second it started

They won it the moment the schedule was out. We will struggle in back to backs this year more than ever

[jon e]

absolutely disgusting. what the hell happened seriously? we're horrible

[Kingaholic]

For a while, I thought you were talking about Kobe. ;)
Wow... I walked right in to that one:o

[Kev.in]

Good thing we got Ostertag to shore up the rebounding and toughness in the paint issues! :(

[bibbyweb]

When will the misery end??
I just hope than they punch Fortson right in the face.

[piksi]

Good thing we got Ostertag to shore up the rebounding and toughness in the paint issues! :(

yep

[Kingaholic]

Good thing we got Ostertag to shore up the rebounding and toughness in the paint issues! :(In Ostertag's defense (I never thought that I would say that) he is playing with a broken hand.

Edit: or rather he is sitting with a broken hand :(

[KingKong]

I can't believe I'm saying this, but if we don't start putting up a consistent effort we will miss the PO's

[Kev.in]

Yeah, he's sitting with that hand because he played 3 minutes, committed 3 fouls and got worked on the glass by a fatso who's 7 inches shorter.

[vj9999]

Still early in the season to worry. We always get blown out in Seattle.

[bibbyweb]

For a while, I thought you were talking about Kobe. ;)
I would rather have losing team, than have a rapist on my team.

[Jc662]

......this game is giving me diarrhea

[Heuge]

They won it the moment the schedule was out. We will struggle in back to backs this year more than ever
I agree

[piksi]

Yeah, he's sitting with that hand because he played 3 minutes, committed 3 fouls and got worked on the glass by a fatso who's 7 inches shorter.

o man - if it weren't sad - it would be funny

[Kingaholic]

Yeah, he's sitting with that hand because he played 3 minutes, committed 3 fouls and got worked on the glass by a fatso who's 7 inches shorter.
Well sure if you want to see the glass as half empty...

On second thought maybe the glass is completely empty...

Maybe there isn't even a glass...

This is Bad!!!!!!

[Heuge]

the sonics have committed 31 fouls. That's a bunch!

[bibbyweb]

As such there is nothing left in the game. They should just practice playing against such kind of physical play.

[bleedpurple]

no kidding.

[piksi]

NBA should make an exception and allow Ostertag to wear "000"

[peja16]

"Sacramento is a team looking for it's identity"

Gee, I thought we were "tough" rebounding machines. Yeah that worked out great.

[peja16]

Ostertag is a bum, was his contract 5 mil over 2 years or 5 mil per year?

[piksi]

"Sacramento is a team looking for it's identity"

Gee, I thought we were "tough" rebounding machines. Yeah that worked out great.

Thanks for making me laugh. i got tears in my eyes

[bleedpurple]

"Are we gonna choose the right hair color to match our skin tone.....?"
I'm getting tired of that commericial.

[piksi]

Ostertag is a bum, was his contract 5 mil over 2 years or 5 mil per year?

What? He is going to be here for the whole 2 years ?

[Evenstar]

man theres still 5 minutes left of left???

well on the postive note, minutes were down for the starters :mad:

that "mad" icon isn't gonna do it for me. wheres the PISSED OFF icon when you need it.

well it could be worse i guess, it's not like we got annihilated at home by the clippers like the pacers did. and one of our studs isn't busy with his music.....

i hope the kings get chewed out until tip off of the next game. the effort was just PATHETIC. back to back my ***, the cavs were also on the 2nd night of a back to back, and guess what??? they showed some darn heart and came back.

and someone give miller a hug. poor guy. he just got banged around like a hockey player, got T'ed up, didn;t get any calls. * HUG *

[bleedpurple]

Hmm....down by 31. I am speechless. I am without speech.

[sloter]

Notes about this game:

1) Kings fans in the crowd are probably Serbian, so that would explain occasional screams when the Kings scored buckets (in particular Pedja)
2) Refs were favoring Kings tonight
3) Barnes is garbage, and let me repeat that: G A R B A G E
4) Pedja is lost in space
5) Kings offensive flow has completely disappeared (Vlade, anyone?) and we're in for a dire loooong season if the Kings get outrebounded by Sonics by 20 and make Danny Fortson look like "the best rebounder in the league". Sad.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot the most important:
7) Besides Miller the Kings showed NO HEART!!!

[bleedpurple]

Oops, I'm sorry, let me correct myself. That would be down by 36....

[Insomniacal Fan]

I dunno, I came in to watch the 3rd quarter, when we made our run and cut things to single digits.

Looked pretty good there, Webber and Peja living together in harmony. Looked ugly after Fortson came in though... poor Brad... poor poor Brad.

[Kev.in]

The most frustrating part is that the Sonics got physical and pushed the Kings and all the Kings did was fall down and complain a little bit. If they're going to let middle of the pack teams manhandle them like this, it's going to be a long season.

[justthisonce]

it would be easy to grade this one. how about a big 'F' (except for adelman and miller) like: we are so....

...never mind.

[sloter]

I thought the Kings were going to be "tougher" this season ...

[vj9999]

77 games to go. Still plenty of time.

[piksi]

77 games to go. Still plenty of time.

this can go both ways. Plenty of time to improve or to suck ?

[piksi]

We play Phoenix next. Oh boy!

[bibbyweb]

77 games to go. Still plenty of time.
Yeah there is pleanty of time. But this game has clearly shown how soft our team is. The physical play just got them completely out of the game. Other teams are going to go at us. We better be ready.

[bibbyweb]

We play Phoenix next. Oh boy!Pheonix might be a bit easier than this one. Actually nothing should be as bad.

[sloter]

Yeah there is pleanty of time. But this game has clearly shown how soft our team is. The physical play just got them completely out of the game. Other teams are going to go at us. We better be ready.
I was thinking the same. I have a feeling that a lot of teams will be fired up against the Kings this year because they think this is a pretty good chance for some brutal revenge on them. I tell you, this season is a success if the Kings make the playoffs.

[Vlad]

What? He is going to be here for the whole 2 years ?
I want my Vlade back.

This is the first game I've watched the Kings play this year... It looks like the offense has no flow, there is no passing, just selfishness. I remember the day when Christie, Bibby and Peja were always slashing and getting easy layups. Now all I see are forced fadaways. What happened to our fabled "princeton" offense?

Petrie's great decision to sign ostertag over Vlade is already paying dividends...

[bleedpurple]

Pheonix might be a bit easier than this one. Actually nothing should be as bad.
I'm not too sure about that. . .

And let's not jinx it, shall we?

[BigWaxer]

We got killed. No excuse for that and now it may be time to start hitting the panic button. Last night was a home opener so of course they would play better. Tonight should of showed if they could carry it to todays game

[Gargamel]

How did Robert Swift do tongiht?

[Gargamel]

I would rather have losing team, than have a rapist on my team.
Nevermind.

[kingskings!]

How did Robert Swift do tongiht?
You are fast on the way to becoming my LEAST favorite Lakers fan! (kidding!!):D

You would be happy to know (if you were watching ESPN) that late in the 4th they showed a shot of him on the sideline grinning like a freakin' jack-o-lantern and I thought "who is that ugly *** MF?"...moments later he entered the game to huge applause and I realized who he was...:eek:

And (except for my extreme anger because of his laughter) he's still not THAT ugly! :o

Oh...back to your question (as if you didn't already know the answer). 2 points, 1 block in 5 garbage minutes.

KK!

[Bricklayer]

We've always been soft phsyically -- look out on the floor and its almost exactly the same team it has always been.

Problem is mental, not physical.

[Gargamel]

And (except for my extreme anger because of his laughter) he's still not THAT ugly! :o

When did Clay Aiken start playing basketball??

[Heuge]

Notes about this game:

2) Refs were favoring Kings tonight
3) Barnes is garbage, and let me repeat that: G A R B A G E 2) No
3)He had a bad game only. I give him the benegit of the doubt because he his from Sacto.

[kingsgurl87]

I stayed up till 1:30 in the morning watching this game..and i still have school today!( very disappointed!).....but I'm not ready to give up on the kings!

[sloter]

2) No
3)He had a bad game only. I give him the benegit of the doubt because he his from Sacto.2) Yes. Lots of questionable foul calls on Sonics (especially on Evans) and I don't think I've ever seen moving pick called two offenses in a row.
3) I give him benefit of doubt because he's trying hard. His talent level is worse than Buford's.
