Sacramento (18-22) at LA Clippers (12-25)

[a-rod]

i will give them the benefit of the doubt mainly because their playing on back to back, and nobody in the NBA has a waining record on back to back games.

[UKF]

Yea that game was a downer.. I figured since we smashed the Nets last night we wouldnt be affected as much because of the back-to-back...Well I thought wrong. Nobody could really get it going. Not the rythym that I expected. Kevin only made 3 shots and we couldnt make free throws. We shall see what happens in Utah, I wouldnt relaly say that Im looking forward to it after what I saw tonight.

We REALLY need a man on the low post that can defend. C'mon Peach!

Good game tonight.

I was really impressed with Bibby at the beginning of the game. He looked like the Bibby of old.

Hey, at least you guys still have a better record than the Clipps.

[SacKingZZZ]

Well....that was horrible. That basically wiped off the glee of the blowout win last night. We got pummelled and didn't look very much like a playoff team to me.

Atleast the Clippers get Brand back and a good lottery pick next year. We're stuck in mediocrity because Petrie makes less moves than a freaking boulder.

Well I WAS really pissed out about having missed this game, but it looks like we just did absolutely nothing well. The only thing we did better than them was make 3's--in that we made 6 and they made 4....then again we took 20 and they took 7.

KIE is right. This is what happens when you're team has to rely on jumpshooting.

[SacKingZZZ]

It was the turnovers that killed us. You can't let the other team take 14 more shots than you!

[Bibbinator]

Artest got owned tonight.. wow.. Corey Maggette always gives Artest trouble.

The worse thing about this game, was I was actually there... ughhh.. and I got a free shirt.. it wasn't even a clipper shirt! I think.. It's still wrapped in rubber bands..

I wanted free tacos!!!

[sackings916]

Artest does seem to have lost a step as far as lateral quickness. Hopefully its just because he's been out and not permanent.

.
Others have said it but it's worth repeting, when our outside game is not on, longer jumpshots, we are going to have trouble. Live by the outside jumpers and die by them as well.

In a case like last night when we our outside game was poor, we didn't or don't have a plan "B" that could/can make up for a off night in that major part of our game.

[nolimit0820]

That plan B is our defense. If jumpers arent falling and our defense is solid, including rebounding, we still put ourselves in a position to win ballgames. But last night we just got picked apart

[BMiller52]

Before Bibby and Artest came back we had guys taking it to the rim. Salmons took it to the rim. Martin got to the FT line and took it to the rim. Beno took it to the rim. Atleast guys got shots close up by driving to the basket. Now it's "lets play shoot some jump shots!!!!!!11ONEone1!"

That's just silly talk, whenever we need REBOUNDING and D and Shot Blocking we should play Justin Williams...Kenny Thomas should NEVER see playing time as a Sacramento King again.

Thank you.

IMO everybody always put K9 down. True, when K9 step on the floor, a turnover will bound to happen BUT a lack of minutes could lead to that problem as well. We all know (Well, majority) K9's strengths are post D and rebounding. At least we should give him a chance to prove himself on court (Or garbage time) that he could be the same player from 2 years ago IMO....

The problem of playing Justin Williams is that he is basically a NON-factor on offense and he has a low B IQ, which limits his playing time IMO...

Kenny got his chance earlier in the year. He looked terrible.

And Justin's problems are also Kenny's. And at this point in their careers, Justin's offense>>Kenny's. When Kenny goes in for a layup, it's as if he thinks he gets points for throwing the ball at the square above the rim as hard as he can. Justin, on the other hand, will dunk it.

To be fair, K9 didnt really got a chance. His minutes were inconsistent...The most minutes he played is 30 minutes...And it varies from time to time i.e. 7/8 minutes per game... IMO the situation that he is in (Currently is inactive) well tell him to wake up and perform to the level from 2 years ago or close to it... I really missed K9 from years ago...He hustles his ass off, rebounded the ball, played great post D and etc...Too bad he was struck by that injury (Shoulder)...

[Smills91]

K9 shouldn't have another minute on the Kings ever.

[KF10]

K9 shouldn't have another minute on the Kings ever.

Eh, I will play him in garbage time IMO...
