Kings on the slide?

[Fall Out Boy]

3-4 over their past seven games, not ideal for a team who have been dominant all year long.

Has to be a worry.

Whos your tip for the lakers/kings game tomorrow? It'll probably be a great time for the lakers to strike, as the kings seem more vunerable than they have all season, but on the other hand things can change pretty quick in basketball.

Go Lakers, but!

I dont know if i would be worrying just yet, teams can have there bad patches. I'm sure the kings will be back...

 

[Dingster]

Hard to go throughout the year without having a bad patch, but I do think that they have a reason to be concerned. Webber has big numbers, but the question must be asked does he upset the team balance? The other players may like him and be working just as hard, but something isn't clicking.

It may just be a mini slump, but then again...

I think they are definetly some worrying signs. I think ever since Webber returned the things have been been going downhill. I stil think he has no idea about how to fit into the structure that has been so successful this year.

The Kings are losing games that they never should be losing and the ones they are winning are won the hard way when the result should never be in doubt. I think the game against Lakers is a big test. That game will tells us if Kings are up to it.

I think the only judgement of whether they are up to it, is when they play the Lakers in the playoffs.

They do have a monkey on their collective backs, and it's a big ugly one called Shaq.

This poor run of form makes the playoffs that much more interesting.

P&P, if you're Rick Adelman, how worried are you if Webber is out for the playoffs....with an injury....or for thumping Shaq!

I can't speak for P&P but personally, I think Kings play better without Webber. So really I think the Kings would be better off. IMHO, Webber has not gelled in the team at all and has disrupted the team. Harsh but true.

Apart from the 72-10 Bulls, every team goes through bad patches. Wouldnt be surprised if the Kings beat the Lakers and get back on track.

Saw the recent Sactown v Houston game over here and the Kings were very impressive down the stretch with Webber and Divac in the line up. Webber shared the ball round ok, I was watching him pretty closely Stiffy! And this is all without Bobby Jackson as well.

 

[Red_Devil]

I don't think Webber is just getting the hole idea of Sac's game plan. Without him they looked awesome, now there not as good. Same with the T-Wolves, since Wally has returned, other players numbers have been limited, and just isn't freeing up players like they did when he wasn't there.

Lakers are 17-4 since the All-star break. 2001 all over again.

and the Kings are doing it again.

Getting beaten up by the Mavs this time.

67-50 at the half. WHERES THE DEFENSE??

 

[Borgsta]

and it just keeps getting worse. Conceding 100 points in 3qtrs. They will just hang onto 3rd spot in the conference come playoff time.

101-81 at 3qtr time.

 

[CURVE]

Fantastic. All we need now is the Lakers to beat Houston, and the Championship is ours.

Go Lakers

KING SUCK

Maloof bother seriously have to tconsider trading Webber.

 

[Portmanteau]

Stiff one: get off the cough medicine. I'm worried about ya man.

 

[jod23]

I thought it was a glitch but its starting to get out of hand...

 

[gofaz18]

look at every1 jumping off the wagon awhile back we were sayin how great they are playing and there a big chance to win the championship and they lose afew games after getting there star player back who hasnt played all year and u now the lakers are the champions. every1 has slumps adelman is a great coach and he will get the kings through this reguardless of where they finish on the ladder there gunna be tough. r u forgetting that bobby jackson is also out and is a big part of the kings rotation.

 

[Steve76]

Twolves also a big chance - they are coming out of their mini-slump they had a week or so back, if they beat Sac on Friday, have a decent shot at number 1 west seed.

And unlike Sac, they can play D

Not sure if I'd read too much into this win. Shaq only took 6 shots and Kobe 13. I'm not saying that LA lied down....but maybe is was a case of Phil not showing his cards before the playoffs.
