I dont think anyone is blaming the refs. It's just that some of the calls or no call is just horrible.

Kaman will go off as usual (Probably another career game), all their 3 point shooters gonna be deadly and etc...Artest gonna destroy his man, Martin will gonna struggle (If you guys notice, Martin ALWAYS plays bad against the Clippers) I hope he proves me wrong tonight...Miller and Beno will do their thing...Other then that, this just an ordinary game...So, again I wont be surprise that we lose this game... I predict a close win in Staples... Just call me Nostradamus.

At least this prediction came true... :lol:

Ok. What position are we on the draft now? 10th?

Screw the money! i'm a fan that want's to see pro's. I don't want to see a bunch of developmental players stinking up the floor. Say what you will but Artest is a Pro, a great one, one worth watching the game if nothing else. The guy balls!... and he makes this team much better!

Kings have zeroed in on the 12th pick and refuse to let it go.

Nope still 12th and no matter what will probably stay there. No way we sink to the teams below us in the west. And the 9th seed in the east may be worse than us too. Screw the pick anyway, we just need to stard playing the ones we already have for now.

Don't know for a fact but tonight might very well be one of those occasions where he was the antithesis of "pro".

I dont understand why we;d be stuck at 12? Just from looking at the standings we're bunched up with about 4-5 teams from the east with 33-38 losses. We can still get to the 8th or 9th IMO.

I like Al Thornton.. but not when he does well against the Kings!!

Yet you feel it your obligation to spread a rumor, even if it's not true.

You hate Artest, and everybody knows it cause you take every oppertunity to srpead your hate. IMO, the worse kind of fan!

The closest team in the east to us is still 10 games under .500. They are going to have to get better, or we are going to have to get worse. Much worse. I think it's safest to assume we will hover at around the win % we are at, or near there. Sure we could tank, but we'd still have to get some help from those 9-12 teams in the east.

Haha. No, I don't hate Artest at all. Never said I did. I do however think it would be wise for the franchise to go in a different direction in regards to Ron Artest. Hey, if they could make a decent push to build a contending team around Artest now, then I'd be all for it. I happen to think we are weighted far heavier in the opposite direction though so I figure go where the waves are taking you. At some point you just have to give in to the ocean when you can't conquer it. It's the lifecycle of the NBA.

I couldn't find any injury report for Artest and Martin... Can somebody help me with that?

I've read every post you put on this board this year. You hate the man, said it or not. Giving in to anything, is for losers. Again, you want to lose fans?, rebuild, especially with some of the junkers we got for young guys. Hope you are a Giant's fan as well, you'll enjoy their season.

I'm done for tonight!

Martin with a wrist injury. Artest with a sore foot.

I think this loss was much more important than our last win. Spencer and Shelden got a lot of time on the court not to mention douby. Spencer and Shelden were actually on the court at the same time. The fact that they are getting a chance to play and develop is worth losing for.

I think that if we can move Artest in a Sign and trade this summer for someone like T.J. ford. we could be a good team very quickly. Spencer is coming along faster than I expected and if shelden can get more time in the lineup he may just prove to be our answer at PF. If thats true then we can just draft BPA this year.

Hawes shot blocking ability was very underated. He reminds me of a more skilled Kaman.

sackings916 · Post #79 » by **sackings916** » Thu Mar 6, 2008 7:44 am

Hawes' game is really nothing like Kaman's.

As far as Ford for Artest, there has to be some other incentive for the Kings to do that deal..whether its a pick, dumping a bad contract, or recieving another quality player or prospect.

I wanted the Kings to draft him but noooooo...we had to go with Hawes...he showed WHY he's a good player tonight...but i guess we have enough wings.
