HORRID SHOOTING AND SPURS'
DEFENSE DOOMS KINGS

December 20, 2002

GAME THOUGHTS

Feistyfan

The Kings usually run their offense well, with short periods of time where they lose the flow. Tonight, it seemed just the opposite. The Kings were never in the flow, with short periods of good ball movement and crisp passing.

Individually, Bibby, Bobby and Webber seemed to have it. The rest of the team was just not there. Funny how when a couple of the guys shoot great - everyone does.. and when a couple of main guys struggle, it can lead to the whole team struggling. Our outside game was way below par tonight (save a couple from Bibby & Bobby).

There is no shame in losing to a quality opponent, and tonight the Spurs were the better team. I don't want to take anything away from them as I think their defense was very good. But it wasn't only their defense that kept our shooting percentage in the mid-30s, I believe it was just an "off night"

OhSC

The game: it was close, and the Spurs were pretty strong defensively. They also scored after timeouts real well. Peja isn't the "real Peja" right now... Another shot or two here or there would've helped, as has been said... Although the Spurs aren't a team that can be "punished" down low, we (at our house) thought that the Kings could've got to the line more and exploited Spurs thin bench. Lasting impression? Miiiiike BIBBY!! Thas' a whole 'nother ballgame with him starting and Bobby ripping it off the bench!
