OFFICIAL Sacramento Kings Playoff Thread *DEAD now bc Webber injury*

[First]

Kings have a decent chance to get past the Mavs, but I'm not betting on it. If they do beat the Mavs, the Lakers or Spurs will have a relatively easy time advancing to the Finals. Too much Duncan or Shaq will kill the Webber-less Kings. Too bad, the Kings had a decent chance of winning it all this year.

Can't wait to see what the Mavs/Spurs/Lakers/Kings do in the off season, mostly who they pick up.

couldnt find any recent nba threads, so i figured id bump this one since kings are playing. dallas 72, sac 67. pollard just missed 2 free's, vlade is on the bench with 4 fouls, 7 min. left in the 3rd.

IF mavs hold on and win, it becomes VERY tough for the kings to win this series.

oops, are obvious statements allowed??

it will be tough. think it may stretch out to 7 games, but dallas will prevail. and kings will show how vulnerable they've became without webber, and pray he never gets injured again.

 

[dethman]

ouch, so far 26-9 in the 3rd.

 

[dethman]

how come there's always so many sacramento fans in the laker threads, but they are never in the sacramento threads???

 

[anxi80]

im a laker fan in a sacramento thread. watching this game until the lake show starts. but if lakers dont win, i wanna see kings take it. keep the title in cali.

edit: screw it. if i wanna flame the kings, ill do it.

 

[josphII]

i hope the kings get by the mavs then lose to the lakers in OT of yet another game 7... just so i can hear all those kings fans whine about how they would have won if they had webber - and bibby can then proclaim the kings the 2-time defending champs!

 

[anxi80]

looks like it might not happen. kings are a game down. i would rather have the lakers move on and kings not, so i dont have to hear kings whiners. if i can circumvent that whole process, itll be a lot better.

Damn, 6 people scored double figures for dallas. kind of hard to beat balance like that.

It all started when Vlade sat out of the game. Vlade had to sit out early in the 2nd quarter due to foul trouble and since that point, Dallas made a huge comeback.

Of Vlade's 6 fouls, only 3 were legit...maybe 4...but not 6.

I also think Adelman made a mistake by leaving Pollard in for so long in the 2nd quarter. he played like garbage

DAYUM. More bad calls?? I thought only the LAKERS got preferential treatment from the refs.

poor poor kings, it's always the refs.

That game was horrible. We came out well, played the game we needed to, but then fell apart. The Kings started taking quick shots and that is what Dallas wants. When vlade left we didn't run the offense through anyone and pretty much played 1v1, while Dallas came out focused. We started the game well but Vlade needs to not pick up those dumb fouls that can be avoided because once he is out Keon and Scot just aren't the type of passer or scorer that Vlade is.
With Webber out the offense needs to go through Vlade and when he got in foul trouble early that was the sign of trouble. Hopefully our playoff experience helps up next game and hopefully Bibby wakes up and takes a game over. Nash isn't having great games either and he really isn't stopping Bibby so he needs to stay aggressive. I like how Doug has been stepping up but just because one guy steps up doesn't mean others can slack off. Oh well, elimination game in Sac. Thursday, let's see if we can take this to 7! Go Kings!!!

Foul calls were pretty consistent, but the certain calls killed the kings. I thought it was funny how TNT tried so hard to show that the fouls weren't one sided by showing the amount of free throws and fouls altogether...but that's not what killed the kings. Vlade and Keon were in foul trouble the whole game...it was a joke. But even so, the kings just fell apart. They shot the ball poorly and got no offensive rhythm.

Go Mavs once again

I'd like the Kings and the Lakers to both lose.. keep the championship in TX either way

What happened to Pollard this year? I thought he was great last year, and so much time on the bench now? Did he get hurt? He's the kind of scary aggressive player that makes the Mavs sht a brick.

Did you watch the game today? Pollard hustles a lot and helps the kings in that department, but he simply can't deliver offensively. Keon Clark has been taking his minutes. Clark is a much better scorer and rebounds almost just as well.

 

[Angrymarshmello]

Pollard has always been good against the Mavericks....don't see why he isn't getting more playing time. Last year's playoff series he ripped through them, same with Vlade. Nice to see Raja picking up the pace - I was surprised he was game 4's leading scorer. He played well this game for a bench player. Hopefully once they get through this series Nash will wake up and find his touch. He choked last year in the playoffs too.

 

[Reliant]

Pollard won't play now that the injury to Webber happened. Last year when Pollard did well against the Mavs it was because Webber spoon fed him. Vlade needs to be out there as much as possible because he is a great passer, Pollard isn't. Pollard could probably score and he would bang the boards but we need Vlade out there as much as possible. Keon is also taking his minutes because he is a more versatile scorer than Pollard. Keon has that jump shot and can go to the hole.

 

[Reliant]

It is game 7, do or die time for both teams. The Kings know how to beat Dallas, it just depends on the focus that they have. If they come out focused and do not fall in to the Mavs type of game the Kings have a great chance of winning this series.
GO KINGS!!!!
