Let's see what kind of a tune you're singing on Tuesday. The Kings are still in control of the Warrior's playoff chances.

HA! HA! HA! :evil:

Wow, I see the potential in our youth as a team. This and the Memphis game were two of the better passing games we've had in terms of potential. There were a lot of turnovers but the unselfishness was clear and the fact that they saw eachother and did run cohesive sets for the most part was clear as well.

That smallish backcourt Denver has is going to kill them. We put an all 6'7" backcourt against their 5'10" guys, they really need to put AI at the point. That's a good part of their defensive woes right there.

You know, watching this game just cemented even more how much I think the Nuggets brass were (Please Use More Appropriate Word) in not trading for Ron. And almost a little glad we didn't trade him to them.

They would have had a Melo/Ron combo, that would have been like Bonzi/Ron on steroids!!! There would be no way possible to match up with both of those guys on the court, just no way. Whether they are playing at the 2/3 or the 3/4, they would have the advantage matchup wise through just about the entire league. They better re-visit a trade this summer if possible, and hope Geoff Petrie doesn't laugh them off the phone.

I'm very happy and impressed by the play of the team lately they're showing some great promise going into the future. I think the future looks nice for the Kings I'm impressed by Spencer I haven't been able to watch him much but the games I've been able to watch he looks like he has some nice skills and is still very young. Cisco and K-Mart are continuing to blossom if we could get ourselves a young PG in the draft possibly DJ Augustin I think this team has a really good chance to make some noise in a couple years from now.

As a warriors fan I need to ask for one more favor...Will you guys trade us Pretty Boy Theus for Don Nelson and our 08 #1 pick? We will also throw in Nellie's dog Lucky and Nellie other dog Keith Smart.

I'm totally impressed (actually shocked) with Reggie's NBA head coaching abilities..

Petrie LOVES dogs! So you might have a deal.

Mullins knew what he was getting when he decided to hire Nellie...you guys are stuck with him. You should have asked this last year, though...I think you guys need Musselman back.

Darn, I was really hoping the game would go into OT and Sheldon and Moore and L. Wright all fouling out...

that happens you think Thomas would still not get any time?

lol.

I really wonder how bad Thomas' attitude is and whats going on during practice and whatnot, if Thesus won't go to him at all

Yeah, I know! It is not like Thomas is a cancer or something. He is acting like a professional throughout this phase (not getting minutes). I want to see my boy play! Release Thomas!

Well, I just find it funny that Thesus absolutely won't play Thomas at all. I mean, Thomas is still better than L. Wright isn't he?

Lol, darn, maybe today Moore/Hawes/Sheldon/Wright all foul out, and Thesus goes to a Johnson/Douby/Martin/Garcia/Salmons lineup lol. :rofl:

Doubt it. I'd bet that if nothing else, Wright can still make layups.

Wright's a better post-defender than KT.

He definitely had many eh to poor games with us, but overall with us? That's exaggerating. He still played well a lot.

He wasn't bad in 05, and then he under-played in the beginning of 05-06 season, not being as fit coming off the bench - until he started again for when SAR went out with the jaw injury in late December. Then in latter March he hurt his shoulder and that effected him into the playoffs. Dropping off over the rest of the season.

I think his jumpshot and eventually overall offense fading after the first time around in 2005, was a combination of his shoulder injury, and he got less shot attempts and role in the offense. Naturally, because of other guys coming in or coming back or emerging, to the team. Brad, Bonzi, Kevin, Ron, Garcia.

Though in the pre-season this year, he said he got his jumper back... never got enough of a chance over time to show if so, though.

I remember from seeing the relevant games, and from looking over boxscores recently.

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/334 ... ?year=2004 - 2/26 on

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/334 ... ?year=2005 - 12/30 on

The boxscores don't tell it all, because of what he does/did that doesn't show up. Positional defense, various hustle plays, deflections.

I'd love to see him come back with his next team some time, and have one of the kind of good games he had in the past with us. That'd be fun for him, and I'd enjoy it as an aside. Who knows if that ever happens, though.

Really? Kenny Thomas the player that everyone was loving the first half season of the trade, the player that many believed could be our starting PF for years to come.

I mean, if Kenny Thomas can't even be a 3rd string PF/C on an nonplayoff team, then exactly how bad was that Webber trade.

Ahem, I NEVER believed that. I thought he was garbage from DAY ONE.

Just for everyone's information.

Okay, but do you believe that Petrie made a good trade when dealing Webber?

Webber Trade = Garbage
