Just got back from work, therefore couldn't do the preview. Anyways, this is a winnable game as were the last two. We may have a chance at it if Bonner doesn't play in the fourth and Jalen gets his groove back. Enjoy it.
55-53 Raps at halftime. Toronto is playing great offense and really caught Sacramento off guard when they went to the zone defense. Nasty dunk by Graham, and also giving a hard foul to Abdur-Rahim. Loving how the kids are playing tonight.
I should've just watched the Raps VS Clips game because its the exact same thing. Bonzi Wells is the biggest A-hole and probably the most arrogant player. He threw a cheap elbow to Hoffa - Graham should've just picked him up and gave him the torture rack. Is it just me or is Chuck Swirsky one of the most annoying guys ever? They should just have Leo and Jack Armstrong do the broadcast.
This is really getting on my nerves. I can't take it. Either win or get blown out. Don't build me up like that.

When most of your points are coming from the inside, why settle for perimeter shots? I wouldn't be surprised if I heard on the news tomorrow that Bosh had powerbombed his teammates through a table in the locker room after the game.
Jack Armstrong annoys me sometimes, and Leo is too biased at times. When Leo likes a guy he never shuts up about him, and Jack sometimes acts stupid. Like telling Chuck not to call Charlie "Big Smooth" and call him some other nonsense.
Thanks to the Hawks upsetting the Pacers, we are now the worst team in the league..... Well this time we can't use Mitchell as a scapegoat for our lose.... this one's all on the players (for the most part). During the fourth quarter, we really should've got CV and Bosh involved in the offense more. When those two are on the same page, there's no one on the Kings who can stop them. On the plus side, it's good to see Hoffa playing w/ a lot more confidence...... it was great to see him not being intimidated by Bonzi when they were in each other's faces (lol @ Miller's reaction to Hoffa yelling back at Bonzi though).....
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting dunksworth:</div><div class="quote_post">(lol @ Miller's reaction to Hoffa yelling back at Bonzi though).....</div> HAHAHA!!! It was the funniest smirk ever. I remember laughing my ass off when I saw that.
overall--nice effort from Hoffa..i was impressed with him and that dunk which graham did was craaazy but once again--we struggled near the end we really have to learn how to close out games
Can someone answer this question: Why was Rose guarding Bonzi in the last position instead of Joey? Why was Rose even in?
We should be 3-0 on this road trip so far. Its too frustrating watching a team that close out winnable games. I agree about Leo. He's pretty much Steve Nash's groupie. Plus he goes out on tangents when the game's on and I want to hear the play-by-play. Jack Armstrong gets these ridiculous notions in his head sometimes: "It doesn't matter what there positions are, you just need to guys on the floor who can play" (in response to critics who say that neither Bosh nor Villy can play C)? Eric Smith from the Fan590 should be commentating next to Chuck.
Yea, I hate when Jack says that, and he always compares to the one exception, Detroit. His biggest argument is that Rasheed and Ben can do it. Hey Jack, guess what? That's one out of 30 teams, and they have 2 guys who are very good interior defenders either on or off the ball, strong, in addition to that Rasheed is 6'11 himself. I don't think he's realized that their's only 2 teams it's worked for, Detroit because it's a special case, and Phoenix because of their system and because Amare is a beast. Their's a reason Jack is not a coach right now. Leo is also a Tim Thomas groupie, I don't even understand that one, at least Nash is good, but he never shuts up about Tim Thomas either. "He's got the NBA body, the athletic ability, the shooting touch, he's just gotta put it all together" Okay, he's not putting anything together anymore.
