Artis Gilmore 04-20-2006, 09:27 PM Sac will give the Spurs a challenge, Spurs in 6.
Kstat 04-20-2006, 09:31 PM Spurs in 7, they have no answer for Artest but they will manage to win game 7 at home.
Black Dynamite 04-20-2006, 09:43 PM kings in 7. Asterik* if artest doesnt get into a fight with Bowen. For some reason i think artest will be cooler than bowen.
Darth Thanatos 04-20-2006, 09:57 PM Kings provide a lot of matchup problems.
Bibby is a better PG than Parker and will put him to work on both ends. No one on the Spurs will be able to guard the Jailthug or Artest; they're both very strong, physical, and have nice strokes. Sacramento also has big men who can shoot, pass, and rebound. Arco is also a difficult place to win since Artest came.
Too bad Nazr, Horry, and Duncan will dominate them on the glass, which will be the difference in this series. The Kings big men are all undersized and/or soft.
Kings will win a few games, but they're not tough enough inside to beat San Antonio.
Spurs in 7.
Anthony 04-20-2006, 10:00 PM The kings can make this a hell of a series. If Brad Miller can take advantage of Timmy's foot problems, and Artest will have his way with Manu, this could go 6 or 7, hell, the kings can win with a little luck on their side
Mr. Oobir 04-20-2006, 10:08 PM Congratulations to Shareef Abdur Rahim, for finally getting carried to the playoffs! [smilie=applause.gi:
Black Dynamite 04-20-2006, 10:11 PM bowen would likely guard artest. interesting matchup. i wonder how far bowen would go in hopes of pissing off artest into a wild fit.
Darth Thanatos 04-20-2006, 10:16 PM Congratulations to Shareef Abdur Rahim, for finally getting carried to the playoffs! [smilie=applause.gi:
Yeah, I think he was the longest active player without a playoff game.
He's a great guy, and a pretty good player. At least he didn't join a a championship calibre team as a last ditch effort to win a ring. COUGHMITCHRICHMONDGARYPAYTONKARLMALONENICKVANEXELM ICHAELFINLEYCOUGH
Whew. [smilie=a.gif]
Black Dynamite 04-20-2006, 10:20 PM In Mitch's defense. Nobody else courted him.
H1Man 04-21-2006, 05:18 AM In fact, Artest thinks the Spurs should be worried about the eighth-seeded Kings.
"I don't even think we're the underdogs any more," Artest said. "I think we're the team to beat, just by how we've been playing."
[smilie=rofl.gif]
Black Dynamite 04-21-2006, 09:58 AM thats the right mentality honestly. The kings have seriously improved defensively and still capable of scoring points. Bibby is a playoff performer and i wouldnt count them out at all. the spurs better be on guard foreal.
Hermy 04-21-2006, 10:01 AM thats the right mentslity honestly. The kings have seriously improved defensively and still capable of scoring points. Bibby is a playoff performer and i wouldnt count them out at all. the spurs better be on guard foreal.

MoTown 04-21-2006, 10:49 AM If the Kings had managed to get the 7th seed, I could see them in the next round. People seem to forget that San Antonio, despite the lack of media love, had a hell of a season. They'll win this one in at most 6 games, probably 5.
Pharaoh 04-22-2006, 03:17 AM But the Spurs aren't in top form and I could see them losing a game or 2.
The Kings have really turned things around.
Artest and Bonzi pose all kinds of problems for the Spurs and I don't think Manu can handle either of them.
SlasherX 04-22-2006, 05:40 PM lol Manu with offensive foul allready
manu elbows artest in the face timeout couple sec in the game.
DennyMcLain 04-22-2006, 05:52 PM lol Manu with offensive foul allready
manu elbows artest in the face timeout couple sec in the game.
I'm not a big Manu fan, but I'm second-guessing that right now.
Spurs up 8 to start the 2nd qtr.
TP w/ 16 pts in the 1st qtr
Holy shit. I walked in from doing yard work and Sac is getting blown out. NVE hitting 3s? I thought he was dead.
LOL, even RASHO is scoring jumpers. I've only been watching since about 10 minutes left in the 2nd but Artest is killing Bowen.
73-39 at the half ... GROSS
That was a CLINIC of a first half.
Anthony 04-22-2006, 07:16 PM wow, the kings cant suck this bad, can they? [smilie=arrgh.jpg]
Kstat 04-22-2006, 07:37 PM Artest never should have opened his mouth...
yes, ron, you can play with the spurs. Unfortunately for you, the other 11 guys on your team CANT...
Artis Gilmore 04-22-2006, 09:05 PM Where the fuck did that come from?
I watched the first quarter, fell asleep, and it was the start of the third, and I saw 73-39.
YIKES! [smilie=arrgh.jpg]
metr0man 04-23-2006, 01:35 AM ok NOW i really wanna blow out the Bucks. Frikken spurs, showin' us up. I'm also just a tad worried though that maybe Popovich has been deliberatly holding stuff back (i didnt see the game so i dont really know what they did to blow out the Kings), which could be troublesome for us in the finals.

All they did was have their guards (mostly tony) drive the lane and kick out to corner threes or have Tony hit those wide open layups. Then they do Duncan post ups where he takes it for himself or, again, kicks out to three point shooters. That is their game. They just weren't missing today. It was pretty typical Spurs stuff.
They did show their depth though. All of their reserves were hitting shots.
Pharaoh 04-23-2006, 05:00 AM On the one hand it's good to see the Spurs hot now - chances are they're not gonna be hot the whole way.
On the other hand I thought the Kings could still provide more of a problem.
Game 2 will be interesting though. I wonder how the Kings will respond and how Artest is gonna react.
Black Dynamite 04-23-2006, 09:21 AM the kings were terrible gameplan wise. parker cant guard bibby. they should be torching him until the spurs feel forced to put bowens on him. And on defense artest is too slow for manu. but he'll find a way around that if the refs dont call it too tight. Either way like i said before, its one game. all they have to do is win game two to flip the script sideways.
Pharaoh 04-23-2006, 09:38 AM Yeah Gutz, it's all "one game" at the moment, but an ass kicking like this is surprising.
Do you think Bull fans are sitting around saying "It's just one game"?
No! They're saying "We can take these fucks"
One game doesn't make a series, but it can give or kill confidence. The Spurs will be flying high right now and it's up to the Kings to respond.
I have no doubt Artest will go balls out in G2, but the rest of those guys need to step up and play with some pride or it's gonna be over quickly.
Anthony 04-23-2006, 11:46 AM Kings need to use Big Nasty more. Outside of Bowen, I cant think of a soul that can guard him on the Spurs.
Pharaoh 04-23-2006, 12:10 PM Fuck Corliss.
Where was Bonzi Wells? Too quiet, especially when you consider he'd cause match-up nightmares for Manu.
If Parker guards Bibby and Bowen guards Artest then why isn't Bonzi abusing Manu?
Same up front - Miller, SAR and Kenny Thomas need to make Duncan, Horry and those bum bigs work.
Run some pick and pop plays to get Duncan out of the paint. Post Bonzi on Manu or Artest on Bowen.
The Kings have the players to cause the Spurs problems and while they aren't as deep and don't have the "team experience" San Antonio has they can and should perform better.
I'd be pissed if I was a King fan
Black Dynamite 04-23-2006, 01:47 PM corliss should've played over bonzi. he was so bad out there it was sad. he also looks a lil pudgy.
Pharaoh 04-24-2006, 11:46 AM So you think playing Corliss is a good move?
Does Robert Horry still play for the Spurs or is he off re-shooting scenes for a summer blockbuster?
I'm willing to guess Horry would guard him well and the Kings offense would scream to a halt with Big (Old) Nasty in the game.
They need to get Bonzi more involved IMO. Post him or Artest and draw Duncan and Nazr (or Rasho) out of the paint.
Kstat 04-24-2006, 01:02 PM NBA suspended Artest for game 2 for a forearm to Manu's head.
Sacramento is fucked.
Glenn 04-24-2006, 01:05 PM I guess Ron Ron is sick of only helping the Pistons, now he's helping the Spurs (as if they needed it).
Glenn 04-24-2006, 01:06 PM http://www.nba.com/news/artest_060424.html?rss=true
Sacramento’s Ron Artest Suspended
NEW YORK, April 24, 2006 – Ron Artest of the Sacramento Kings has been suspended one game without pay for making forearm contact to the head of Manu Ginobili of the San Antonio Spurs, it was announced today by Stu Jackson, NBA Senior Vice President Basketball Operations.
The incident occurred with 9:07 remaining in the third period of the Spurs’ 122-88 win over the visiting Kings at AT&T Center on April 22. Artest will miss Game 2 of the series, which will be played at the AT&T Center on Tuesday, April 25.
Pharaoh 04-24-2006, 01:07 PM That's BS against Artest.
Manu busted him up and got away with it.
Kstat 04-24-2006, 01:09 PM kinda like how rip hit Artest in the balls and artest got a flagrant for retaliating against rip's head....
Black Dynamite 04-24-2006, 02:04 PM That's BS against Artest.
Manu busted him up and got away with it.
yep. Ron actually got screwed on his rep here.
Darth Thanatos 04-24-2006, 03:07 PM I bet Manu flopped on that elbow as well.
Comrade 04-24-2006, 03:20 PM I bet Manu flopped on that elbow as well.
He went 6 rows deep into the crowd and came up in a body cast.
Kstat 04-24-2006, 06:02 PM Im sorry but if you look at the play, Ron absolutely deserved to get suspended.
Black Dynamite 04-24-2006, 06:05 PM Im sorry but if you look at the play, Ron absolutely deserved to get suspended.
so what did manu deserve for hitting him?
Kstat 04-24-2006, 06:09 PM Im sorry but if you look at the play, Ron absolutely deserved to get suspended.
so what did manu deserve for hitting him?
I hate sticking up for Manu as much as anybody, and ROn Artest is one of my favorite players.
However, when you compare the two plays, Manu's was clearly unintentional, and Ron's was clearly intentional.
Manu got what he deserved (an offensive foul), and so did Ron (a suspension).
The way ron tried to get away with it was probably worse than just elbowing him face-to-face. It was a total cheap shot to manu's head when Manu wasn't paying attention.
Black Dynamite 04-24-2006, 06:20 PM manu does that shit all the time though. maybe it was unintentional(though i dont think it was), but he is still at fault playing that wreckless flailing flop style as he does. Of course he always falls back on the unintentional "thats just how i play" excuse. so much so that i think it is. but whatever though. im not a fan of either guy.
Kstat 04-24-2006, 06:22 PM Manu does play recklessly, and he should be called for fouls a lot more than he does.
I hate the way he plays, but he has to deal with the fact he inflicts punishment on himself as well.

you'd think he does. but not as much as other people. wade does alot of the same unfundamentally sound garbage. but he actually hurts himself more than others. probally because of less elbow usage. [smilie=arrgh.jpg]
Glenn 04-24-2006, 06:25 PM Bucher just made a good point on ESPN radio (for a change).
Artest wasn't even guarding Manu, he stepped out and intentionally and deliberately intended to injure Floppobili.
But the fact that he went to his head sealed the suspension.
He also noted that the NBA is sending a message with RonRon and the Mexican early in the playoffs so everybody knows that they aren't going to let things get carried away later on.
Uncle Mxy 04-24-2006, 08:34 PM Any videos of this foul?
Every place I try to search for an Artest video, I come back to the fucking brawl.
H1Man 04-24-2006, 08:37 PM Any videos of this foul?
Every place I try to search for an Artest video, I come back to the fucking brawl.
Here is a .Gif of the foul.
http://random-m.com/images/415219131_manuandart.gif
Black Dynamite 04-24-2006, 08:39 PM i question whether it even connected. looks like more floppage to me. but there was an attempt to sneak a cheap shot in on his part probally. thats enough i guess.
Kstat 04-24-2006, 08:51 PM I question how it could be a flop, when Manu didnt even know it was coming.
Black Dynamite 04-24-2006, 08:52 PM I question how it could be a flop, when Manu didnt even know it was coming.
that fucker has 6th sense on that shit. he felt flesh close to his flop radar. [smilie=angel.gif]
Uncle Mxy 04-24-2006, 09:28 PM Looks like a flagrant one to me, if only because if Artest did a flagrant two to Manu, he'd be a smear and we wouldn't be questioning his Flopobiliti.
Comrade 04-24-2006, 09:30 PM I question how it could be a flop, when Manu didnt even know it was coming.
Manu doesn't need to see it coming. The man can flop on instinct alone. I was joking in my first post(obviously), as Artest did go out of his way to elbow him.
The way Manu goes around Brad Miller pisses me off alone. It's come to a point where players have ti tip-toe around him because they know he'll go flying if they get anywhere near him.
It's obviously a little shot, but there is a lot of flop in it as well. Fine him 5K and be done with it. This is the playoffs. Tell him behind the scenes that he'll be ejected and suspended if he pulls anything again.
Black Dynamite 04-24-2006, 09:32 PM It's obviously a little shot, but there is a lot of flop in it as well. Fine him 5K and be done with it. This is the playoffs. Tell him behind the scenes that he'll be ejected and suspended if he pulls anything again.
seconded. taking him out over that is too harsh IMO.
gusman 04-25-2006, 10:02 PM LOL at Jalen reading that scripted garbage and moving his hands like a gangsta as he is talking
Black Dynamite 04-25-2006, 10:07 PM jalen rose is a vet. at playoff commentating and watching that is. he gets more playoff sideline media time for various networks muthafuckas who are retired.
Kstat 04-25-2006, 10:08 PM Sacramento coming out guns blazing. They're hustling their asses off out there.
Time will tell how long this holds up, though...
Kstat 04-25-2006, 10:16 PM WOW.
The Kings are playing harder than I've ever seen them play, with or without Ron.
Its only the 1st quarter, but damn.....every player looks like they want to tear the spurs up out there....
The Spurs just got sucker-punched. 30-23 Kings after 1.
We'll see how the Spurs respond to this.
Wells is eating Finley alive on the baseline. I wish Tay knew how to use the baseline half as well.
Kstat 04-25-2006, 10:20 PM Bonzi is a hell of a lot stronger than Tayshaun.
Black Dynamite 04-25-2006, 10:23 PM lol@van exel getting that 3 point 3 FT call.
Black Dynamite 04-25-2006, 10:25 PM Bonzi is a hell of a lot stronger than Tayshaun.
yea its his physical element that gets him inside like that. to tay's credit he's a better defender and has a better mid range post shot.
Yeah, I'm not saying Tay should be able to bulldoze his way through. I'm more saying that Tay has no clue how to use the baseline if he isn't jumping for a breakaway oop.
Do the Spurs know they are allowed to guard the baseline?
Kstat 04-25-2006, 10:49 PM damn....these teams are really going after each other....
even pussy-ass brad miller is blocking shots lol
Wow, that was a very nice slash by Bonzi.
Kstat 04-25-2006, 10:56 PM Kings are physically kicking San Antonio's ass right now. If it wasnt for all the threes, it would be a much bigger lead than this.
Very fun 1st half to watch. The Kings are playing very inspired right now.
Anthony 04-25-2006, 11:10 PM Cmon Sacto, keep it up for 2 more.
Kstat 04-25-2006, 11:49 PM tied after 3 quarters.
Now we get to see who wants this game more.
H1Man 04-25-2006, 11:51 PM It would huge for Sacto if they can win this game without Artest.
Kstat 04-25-2006, 11:58 PM I would think it would be huge regardless....
The Kings going after it like a bunch of crazed dogs out there. Theyv'e gotten almost every losse ball. 5-point lead with 9 left to play.
Joe Asberry 04-26-2006, 12:00 AM very nice game, Duncan with 5 fouls on the bench, this is sacramentos chance
Kstat 04-26-2006, 12:05 AM Poppovich is a fucking moron playing 4 guards at once with Nazr out there. The Kings are getting every single rebound. Kenny Thomas looks like Karl Malone.
Kstat 04-26-2006, 12:13 AM well, tied 4 minutes left.
gusman 04-26-2006, 12:15 AM good game
gusman 04-26-2006, 12:15 AM rahim is a straight up balla
H1Man 04-26-2006, 12:17 AM Bibby is having a terrible game.
Black Dynamite 04-26-2006, 12:19 AM LOL@them booing that foul by Ginobli. and his what i do look is typical.
Black Dynamite 04-26-2006, 12:20 AM bad crossover by wells. crossed back into the defender...lol
gusman 04-26-2006, 12:20 AM wow
com on sac to
H1Man 04-26-2006, 12:21 AM Wells should've continued his drive into the middle. Instead he tried to go back and commits an offensive foul.
Kstat 04-26-2006, 12:21 AM Abdul-Rahim>the entire Spurs frontline tonight
Kings by 3, 40 seconds left.
gusman 04-26-2006, 12:22 AM I am really excited to see game 3 in sacramento if the kings end up pulling this off
Black Dynamite 04-26-2006, 12:22 AM Abdul-Rahim>the entire Spurs frontline tonight
Kings by 3, 40 seconds left.
duncan in foul trouble nullifies any defense he would want to put on him.
Black Dynamite 04-26-2006, 12:24 AM I am really excited to see game 3 in sacramento if the kings end up pulling this off
i said 7 games. dont ever count out these pesky kings. also we need to pay attention to this for us against the bucks. no team is a push over. we gotta be ready for adjustments tomorrow.
Edit:Nevermind the first part.
Kstat 04-26-2006, 12:24 AM Once again, another huge offensive board given up by Duncan and the 4 midgits....
Does Poppovich not realize the Spurs would be well ahead if it wasnt for the 352617267 offensive boards they gave up, because they have brent barry and manu ginobili trying to box out bonzi wells and kenny thomas?
H1Man 04-26-2006, 12:25 AM Kings up 2 with 20 seconds left.
gusman 04-26-2006, 12:25 AM here comes horry with the 3
H1Man 04-26-2006, 12:28 AM Wells fouls out of the game.
Kstat 04-26-2006, 12:28 AM Manu shoots 2.
gusman 04-26-2006, 12:28 AM miss one
H1Man 04-26-2006, 12:28 AM And he missed the 1st.
Kstat 04-26-2006, 12:28 AM Choke!
gusman 04-26-2006, 12:29 AM i am not feeling too confident about the kings freethrow shooting. THey seem to be choking tonight
Kstat 04-26-2006, 12:30 AM Bonzi isnt in there to miss another one.
Just get it to Bibby or Miller.
Kstat 04-26-2006, 12:31 AM Wow, they gave it to the kid.
...and he delivers.
Kings up 3, 15 secs left.
gusman 04-26-2006, 12:32 AM made em both
gusman 04-26-2006, 12:33 AM my god
H1Man 04-26-2006, 12:33 AM Holy Shit!
Barry made a 3.
Kstat 04-26-2006, 12:34 AM Unbeliavable.
What a lucky freaking bounce.
Kstat 04-26-2006, 12:34 AM I suppose you get it to bibby here and get out of his way...
H1Man 04-26-2006, 12:35 AM SAR misses the open shot.
Headed to OT.
gusman 04-26-2006, 12:35 AM welp sacs gonna lose now
Kstat 04-26-2006, 12:35 AM Kings just lost.
Itll to OT, but they have no chance without Wells.
whoa.......imagine if that 3/4 court shot went in :eek:
gusman 04-26-2006, 12:36 AM wonder if dallas players and co are watching this game
H1Man 04-26-2006, 12:37 AM The only way that Sac even has a chance in OT is if Bibby heats up.
gusman 04-26-2006, 12:37 AM barry got a real good bounce though
Black Dynamite 04-26-2006, 12:38 AM lol@mutiny in the studio
H1Man 04-26-2006, 12:38 AM Duncan and SAR with 5 fouls each.
Black Dynamite 04-26-2006, 12:38 AM barry got a real good bounce though
yea i bet webber wishes he coulda got that type of rim bounce back when he was playing the wolves.
Black Dynamite 04-26-2006, 12:39 AM for the record, kenny thomas has hit some really clutch set up jumpers in his career with philly.
Black Dynamite 04-26-2006, 12:40 AM bibby heat check
gusman 04-26-2006, 12:40 AM who said somethin about bibby
H1Man 04-26-2006, 12:41 AM yea i bet webber wishes he coulda got that type of rim bounce back when he was playing the wolves.
Webber play for the Wolves?
Black Dynamite 04-26-2006, 12:42 AM damn that was some nice floppage by the flop king on the replay.
gusman 04-26-2006, 12:42 AM oh boy the towns going under water
gusman 04-26-2006, 12:42 AM yeah i didn;t understand the webber comment either
Black Dynamite 04-26-2006, 12:42 AM Webber play for the Wolves?
no against them. as a king he missed a shot the way barry made it. rolled out.
gusman 04-26-2006, 12:46 AM i bought a webber rookie card when he first came into the league, it's to bad he didn't become a great player
i bought a webber rookie card when he first came into the league, it's to bad he didn't become a great player
i bought a pippen rookie back when i was a kid for $50, thinking "if MJ's rookie card is worth a grand...."
too bad it's worth crap now [smilie=no.gif]
Kstat 04-26-2006, 12:48 AM Yeah, minus their two best defenders now, Sacramento is fucked.
Im still in shock that barry 3 got that insanely lucky bounce.
Bibby should get his head out of his ass and start shooting. Rahim isnt going to beat anybody taking 15-footers.
Kstat 04-26-2006, 12:52 AM LOL ive never seen a turnover that stupid EVER in the NBA!
H1Man 04-26-2006, 12:53 AM Wow.
Bibby is having probably the worst game of his career.
Kstat 04-26-2006, 12:54 AM Yep.
If they lose this game, its all on Bibby.
He's the one that cant hit a shot, he's the one thats usually causing the defensive fuckups (like the last barry 3).
It all goes on him if/when they lose.
Black Dynamite 04-26-2006, 01:49 AM hmmmm my bibby ownage prediction has gone into basketball oblivion.
Anthony 04-26-2006, 11:25 AM That was the kings best chance to win. One lucky bounce and it was all over. :(
Kstat 04-28-2006, 11:01 PM The Kings are so much bigger and stronger than the Spurs at the 2/3 spots, it isn't even funny.
Kstat 04-28-2006, 11:10 PM Someone should slap Bibby and tell him that he should be the 3rd or 4th option in this series. He's taking shots instead of looking for guys that have actual advanatges.
Kstat 04-29-2006, 12:46 AM WOW!
Kings win at the buzzer! Unbelievable finish!
RARELY is Manu ginobili going to piss away a game like that. What a freaking finish.
gusman 04-29-2006, 12:46 AM did oyu just see that
Kstat 04-29-2006, 12:48 AM That was one of the most amazing last-second playoff sequences I've ever seen.
gusman 04-29-2006, 12:49 AM too bad they lost game 2
INCREDIBLE ENDING! I thought the Kings had pissed this one away in the 3rd.
realistic 04-29-2006, 01:01 AM WOW!
Kings win at the buzzer! Unbelievable finish!

WTF! I stopped watching.
Kstat 04-29-2006, 01:04 AM WOW!
Kings win at the buzzer! Unbelievable finish!
RARELY is Manu ginobili going to piss away a game like that. What a freaking finish.
WTF! I stopped watching.
Spurs were up 1 with 10 seconds left and 8 on the shot clock.
Manu brings duncan out 40 feet for a pick and roll.
Manu tries to split the defenders and Bibby rips the ball away.
The Kings race down the floor and Martin throws up a shot at the rim over duncan with 1 second left and it bounces on the rim for 1 1/2 seconds before dropping in at the buzzer. Kings win.
Artis Gilmore 04-29-2006, 08:39 AM Kevin Martin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anthony 04-29-2006, 10:58 AM This is a bit late, but HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was one of the best finishes I've ever seen in my life.
Darth Thanatos 04-29-2006, 12:26 PM What Anthony said.
Fuck Bibby.
DennyMcLain 04-29-2006, 02:38 PM One lucky shot deserves another.

:rolleyes:
BTW, the Pistons are going to RAPE the Spurs on the boards. Even when Kenny Thomas is their biggest guy on the court, the Kings are dominating the boards.
Kstat 04-30-2006, 11:52 PM Ron Artest is absolutely killing Ginobili on both ends.
wow, if Sac can hold on....what a crazy playoffs day..
Kstat 05-01-2006, 12:14 AM San Antonio is done.
Blowout in progress......
Kstat 05-01-2006, 12:20 AM The Kings have TWO guys that the Spurs can't stop defensively in Artest and Bonzi.
Plain and simple, San Antonio is not used to having to double-team ONE guy. Two? This is new territory for them.
I'm looking on SA's bench, and I dont see one physical or long defender in the bench. Theyre all rail-thin jumpshooers.
Robert Horry is probably Popp's last resort option at guarding ARtest.
Oberto is guarding him at the moment. He looks like he's about to crap his pants.
Kstat 05-01-2006, 12:46 AM Since Artest came back from his suspension, Manu Ginobili is averaging 5.5 ppg and 4 turnovers on %30.7 shooting.
Quite literally, Artest has Manu locked up. He's isn't even a factor anymore in this series.
That makes 4 series tied 2-2. I hope it stops there.

Kstat 05-01-2006, 01:02 AM Bowen, meanwhile, has been manhandled in the post by Wells.
That was a beatdown. Wow. Just imagine if Brent's shot doesn't take that lucky bounce!
Kstat 05-01-2006, 01:06 AM That was a beatdown. Wow. Just imagine if Brent's shot doesn't take that lucky bounce!
Just imagine if Kevin Martin's circus layup doesn't go in the basket at the end of game 3.
Both teams stole a game from the other they didnt deserve. Its even now.

Brent's involved a hell of a lot more luck. Players hit layups like that all the time. How many times have you seen a corner three back-then-front rim, hit close to the top of the backboard and going in?
Either way, I don't by into this "you stole one, we stole one" crap. This series could be 3-1 Kings if not for a crazy bounce on a three. Period. And I still think it cost the Kings the series. I highly doubt the Spurs lose with HCA.
zeebneebV.3 05-01-2006, 01:27 AM WTF GUYS! I thought the board had died. I didn't know about the playoff board.
Man am I pissed.
I was wondering wtf had happened.
Cross 05-01-2006, 04:33 AM Wells grabbed 17 boards...no one else on the team got over 5...hell no one in the game got over 8...
The Spurs board I lurk at is "down".
Anthony 05-01-2006, 10:55 AM Spurs suck. LOL. Kings should be up 3-1 now. Fuck Barrys lucky shot.
Pharaoh 05-01-2006, 12:15 PM I'm sure I said something about IF Bonzi performed better the Kings would be fine.
I'm not gonna check 17 fucking pages though
Anthony 05-01-2006, 12:18 PM You're smart!
Pharaoh 05-01-2006, 12:21 PM Very, especially when we're talking basketball.
20 years of fucking experience counts for something.
Darth Thanatos 05-01-2006, 12:37 PM Pharoah is a G. He's the Aussie uncle I wish I had.
Pharaoh 05-01-2006, 12:43 PM Pharoah is a G. He's the Aussie uncle I wish I had.
Appreciate that.
Something else I'd appreciate? You spelling my handle correctly
It's OK, though
Darth Thanatos 05-01-2006, 12:50 PM I'm sorry. :(
Pharaoh 05-01-2006, 12:53 PM I said it was OK so don't worry about it. I'm not gonna go nuts cause you spelt it wrong
(alsoispeltitwrongwhenitriedtologin)
Tahoe 05-01-2006, 01:34 PM I love Ginobli's 3 pts....ROTFLMAO 11 in 2 games at Arco.
BTW...I live here in Sac and a lot of peeps credit Artest for the Kings turn-around.
Anthony 05-01-2006, 03:02 PM I think thats pretty obvious. Without him, you guys are waiting for ping pong balls.
Tahoe 05-01-2006, 04:03 PM I think thats pretty obvious. Without him, you guys are waiting for ping pong balls.
I live here but am a Piston fan since the Dave Bing days. Thats never changed. Yep, I'm old.
I like them but its not the Pistons. It just isn't the same.
Agree bout playing ping pong if it weren't for Artest.
Pharaoh 05-02-2006, 11:44 AM It IS Tahoe from Scout.com, right?
Cool - how you doing, man?
Good to have you around.
Kstat 05-02-2006, 10:48 PM Bonzi tearing it up AGAIN with 20 at the half.
Kings lead by 3.
Anthony 05-02-2006, 10:50 PM Cmon Sacto!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!1
Kstat 05-02-2006, 11:04 PM safe to say Bonzi is in the zone.....
Kstat 05-02-2006, 11:48 PM WOW!
The Kings come all the way from 14 down in the 4th to tie it up!
SlasherX 05-02-2006, 11:51 PM yah they can't guard bonzi and artest. got both games on half half screen.
How is this game not nationally televised?
Kstat 05-02-2006, 11:55 PM Mike Bibby in an idiot. WHat an incredibly selfish play.
SlasherX 05-02-2006, 11:55 PM why the hellis brad miller guaridng duncan.
SlasherX 05-02-2006, 11:59 PM lol wow
Pharaoh 05-03-2006, 10:55 AM Great series so far for Bonzi, but would anyone take a chance signing him to a 5-year contract?
I'm sure teams will be lining up to get him, but before the playoffs he wasn't exactly the kind of guy you want to sign.
Is this the ultimate contract push (ala Jerome James)?
Is Bonzi (in his prime) capable of producing like this for the next few years?
Gm's are gonna have to answer that this off-season.
(NOTE: I wouldn't mind having him here. Delfino seems more comfortable playing a PG/SG role anyway. With Bonzi at SG/SF we'd be fine. Evans? Who?)
