Pop is looking like a man reflecting on the horror he has unleashed. I hope this victory is on his conscious for a long time. He has taken part in the rape of every fan of this organization. He could have put a stop to all of these but he lets it continue. Shame on him.

damn that would have been sweet if that 3 would have gone in. just to give them some light shock. time was up anyway so it doesn't really change a lot. Gomes or Foye should have shot instantly.

I knew they'd have some reasons to list foye as a forward

26 point, 16 rebounds, 1 assist


that's a Al-like forward stat....


Craig has 9 point, 2 rebound, and 3 assits, nice backup guard line too

It's games like these that make me want to start compiling video clips of how the refs screw us over game after game then send it in to the NBA main office.

I didn't see the game .. any reason Foye has 16 RB's, or just a fluke?

Part of it was a fluke, but on the other hand the guy went like a banshee for every rebound and seemingly swiped rebounds right out of other players hands.

I remember when Dwane Casey used to get PISSED over this. He was sending in tapes every week. NBA main office got sick of him and started giving us some calls after months of this.

Yea I remember when Casey was upset that KG wasnt getting the superstar calls. Man, that was great having a real coach......

Had Foye played PG at anytime during this game (he may have, but i watched almost the entire game and i always saw one of Ollie/Bassy in their at Point) he probably would have had 4/5 assists to go along with his awesome #'s

yep it seemed like he was told just to score and it looked like it helped hes rebounding to

Mccants was the same last year when he was moved to sf he was pulling down 6-8 rebounds per game

Kinda annoying watching this team compete with teams like the Spurs on the road, and can't even beat crap like the Kings. I understand the Spurs probably brought their C game, but still...so annoying. And wow, the schedule's been so hard since McHale took over. I mean, he's had what, the one game against the Kings that we probably had a real shot at winning? Just a rough stretch to take over.

That's kind of what I thought too. In last night's broadcast, they threw up a graphic about the overall records of the teams that we've just faced, and its unbelievable. I guess that's why people got so angry we didn't beat the Kings, but remember how up we were against the Jazz on the first game after we fired OUR coach?

January's coming, and we'll be a lot better if the guys don't lose confidence. I'm worried, but I hope they hold their head up after playing hard in the last two losses to the Rockets and Spurs. If you're hanging with those teams for 47 minutes, your team has some talent.

We have to beat Memphis. If we beat the Knicks thats great but im not expecting a win, but we HAVE to beat Memphis.
