NBA PLAYOFFS: Kings at Wolves Game 7 Thread

[Chiboy]

I want the Kings to win, I hope the Kings win. If you have anything to say about the game post it here.

BTW Lager, You suck! & so do the Wolves.

 

[fs5]

GO KINGS (and their 6 1/2 man rotation now )

 

[Maximus96]

is Jackson playing tonight?

 

[CubicZirconia]

I want the wolves to win, but it should be a great game either way.

 

[monk3y]

Go Wolves... Just because I don't think the Kings have ANY chance of beating the Lakers.

 

[CaseTragedy]

The only reason I'm rooting for the Kings is because it'll make it easier on the Lakers. :evil:

 

[Ranger X]

I'm not sure who the Lakers match up better with because Alien-boy is hobbling for Minnesota.

The toughest match for the Lakers is the Kings, not the other way around.

Nah--I think it be easier taking the Kings than the Wolves. We get owned on Wolves court--and they'd have homecourt advantage.

Did you forget the Kings also took the season series 3-1? No one remembers that at all. The Kings even beat the Lakers at the end of the season when the Lakers were making that 14-3 streak. Bibby always works the Lakers, Miller and Vlade defend Shaq better than anyone can, Malone's an easier matchup for Webber, etc. I could go on. The Wolves are new to all this, Garnett has been absent during parts of this series, Cassell is hurt, Wally isn't healthy, Hassell and Hoiberg can't be expected to keep up their play. The only reason the Lakers would want to see the Kings is because they'd have homecourt, not because of the matchups.

I wish people would stop dragging out the "wolves are new to this" argument. This is a different team than past years. They might as well being wearing different jerseys. Garnett is the MVP, he'll be fine. Wally hasn't played a significant role this year; the fact that he (and troy hudson) are hurt is irrelevent. And I don't see why Hassell and Hoiberg won't keep up their performance. They're both great shooters (especially Hoiberg) and they're often left open. Plus Hassell is one of the best defenders in the league.

Have you watched all this series? Being new is very important. KG has at times had the deer in the headlights look. That's why Cassell and Spree are so important, they're supposed to take over when he's like that. With Cassell being hurt things now heavily lean on KG, and at times he's not been ready. He's made bad passes, traveled, taken horrible shots in crunch time this series.

Buford!!!!

 

[OrByte]

Bufford will actually present the same match up problems for the wolves as did Peeler. Hoiberg cant guard either one so hopefully Bufford will be able to take better advantage of the situation than peeler(who was actually shooting ice cold through the first 6 games)

KG has definitely had brainless moments, when was the last time he was called for traveling three times in a single game? if it wasnt for Latrell and ET then the wolves would have been dismissed already. Since ET has a bad back it is gonna be all about Latrell getting a hot streak...hopefully Christie and Bibby dont get into foul trouble and keep Latrell busy on both sides of the court.

I have my hopes up even though I shouldnt, I just wanna see a Kings/Lakers series soo bad!

go kings!

 

[MrDingleDangle]

i havent decided who would be easier for the lakers...so i dont know who to root for. Who on the Twolves would be able to stop shaq?, but Kings the lakers get homecourt....hmmm

 

[Paulson]

Wolves gotta win... my girlfriend is at the game... lucky girl :|

 

[boyRacer]

Yes, but Lakers get home against Kings. Wolves get home against Lakers.

Of course Reliant made good points about Wolves inexperience.

first off, the season series is during the regular season. no one gives a flying fvck about the regular season, it's all about the playoffs.

as for the inexperience of KG, what about Webber?!?!?!!? you're crazy if you think Webber is a better player because of his "experience" in big pressure games.
