A little late but here is a tread. Great start by the kings.

Oh no! We're winning and it's going to ruin our chances for the #1 pick and we'll suck forever!!!!!!!!!

By the way, I thought the Lebron chalk thing was stupid enough, that whole little gag with Lebron taking fake pictures of the team was just sickening. That would be a penalty/fine for sure in any other major sports league, the NBA should be no exception. That is just disrespectful showboating, especially in a city outside Cleveland. I'm sick of the Lebron theatrics, I have no idea why the fans of this league go nuts over him.

For real. The last time we had a pick higher than 10 it was 10 years ago (1998), and the last time we had a top 5 pick was 1991 (#3). This is not how a team rebuilds, or stays competitive. Its time we get a little draft luck. Blake Griffin would be the perfect addition to Martin and Hawes. Finally a star quality player for us in the draft.

I think you misunderstood. I was being sarcastic. On message boards, green font = sarcasm.

We're winning and I think it's ******* awesome.

I figured, just making a point on our desperate need for a top pick.

I understand the need, and I don't think a win tonight will impede on that need too much. It's the freakin' Cavs and we're keeping up with them! Imagine what a win against them will do for the confidence of our youngins.

I don't think we have won 1 game against an Eastern Conference team, if we beat the Cavs that would be pretty funny that the only East team we beat is the best team in the East. Didn't we beat Denver, LAL, New Orleans, and Dallas? I guess we are more about quality wins rather than quantity.

That was such a damn flop I can't even freaking believe that!

Wow Bobby. U might as well shoot on the wrong hoop after that pass. Wow.

Bobby really should've called a timeout there more than anything.

Yet another clutch FAIL by Martin.

Ugh.....Kev. You were doing so well.

Why does Martin always try and draw a foul with the last shot instead of just getting off a good look?He has tried this 53 times this year and it has failed 53 times.

Ya terrible terrible mistake. I liked the hustle and effort by Martin to not just let Lebron have an easy dunk on the other side too. Thats not even a rookie mistake, thats a college Chris Webber mistake. Over time...

magic fan i hope the refs dont screw u like the did in 2002 right now

Post #17 » by **KingInExile** » Sat Mar 14, 2009 4:36 am

And as always, Martin concentrates on trying to draw a foul at the buzzer instead of taking the damn shot. News flash...the refs haven't bailed you out any of the other 100 times this season you've tried it...they ain't going to do it this time.

This is the type of crap that Martin pulls that makes me want to trade him for anything.

The better question is why do we run a play with 5 seconds left in the game where martin gets the ball at near mid court and moving away. By the time he turned around he was screwed time wise. Terrible play call by Natt. Why not run a double screen or something? Anything is better than that.

He had plenty of time and had a very good look until he jumped into the defender. Quit making excuses for Martin being a bone head.

Explain plenty of time. He turned around took a dribble or two, pump faked, and shot. No time left. Not making excuses, it was a gutless play by martin, but a bonehead call by Natt.
