So your telling me Artest didn't force that drive?

i'ld rather see him force a drive than jack up jumpers

[ethiosew]

game over what a nice pass by miller

[RIPskaterdude]

YESSSSS IM LOVING IT WHAT A PASS!!!!

[RIPskaterdude]

Miller = MVP of 4th quarter

Clutch rebounds, passing, and free throws.

[Wolfay]

GORGEOUS play. Props to Theus for drawing it up and Miller for executing.

That's 2-0 against the Pistons this year. Pretty impressive IMO. Too bad we can't be consistent with other games.

kings are great against half court teams but 0-6 against run n gun teams

Well "force" is a strong word. The decision to drive was a good decision because I wouldn't say that Sheed can guard him consistently. But the execution was poor in that he was stripped.

Anyway, great win over all, but it still has to make you wonder who is staying and who is going, because something clearly has to happen.

btw spencer hawes potentially great post defender book it

Wow Kings are looking really good, I hope they make the playoffs.

Awesome win!

Quite satisfying. After that Toronto loss, and to win in Detroit. Sweep the season series.

Ron Artest played such a good game. What toughness displayed by this guy, relating to on and off the court things. Brad, Kevin, Mike were also really good, all game long.

Garcia played a decent game, contributing on both ends of the floor. Beno also played respectably, mainly with the scoring he did. Which was key in that 3rd qtr.

Reggie and the staff coached a good game, too.

Simply a quality team win, on the road!

Well we havent been 100% for two games up until tonight either. I loved the plays we ran today and The thing i LOVE about this EXCITING win tonight was the fact that we played through absolutely awful officiating.

[RIPskaterdude]

Did Salmons even play in the 2nd half?

[Sac Fan in Clipper town]

Congrats to the guys-so much better than under Musselman

someone got really excited in the Musselman household when you mentioned his name

[sackings916]

Salmons has to be pissed. There's no room for him and Artest on this team. Garcia is the better ROLE player which is what we need. IMO one of Salmons/Artest has to go.

I don't know if I would go that far, but he did do a very solid job against Sheed in his short stint. If he can play great post defense consistently, I will be thrilled.

[RIPskaterdude]

0 points in 20 minutes from Salmons, only took 2 shots. Although everyone had their minutes pretty spaced out. Other than Miller and Moore, no one played longer than 32 minutes.

[Ballings7]

Salmons shouldn't be pissed - we won the game!

I'm not saying he is, and I don't expect him to. If he is, then he needs to get a better mind-set and adjust. Regardless of who is on the team. Becuase his role is going to lessen to a certain extent. Reggie's not going to basically ignore him or something, what he does in his playing time and what goes on with other guys, will dictate his oppurtunity from Reggie.

Also nobody should be pissed or expecting Salmons role to be like it was tonight and against Toronto. That's just overreacting, and, I'd say unrealistic. I'd be shocked if the majority of his games are in the way of the Toronto game and tonight against Detroit.

Sure I would of liked to see Salmons play more and be a decent part of the win - but we won, and other guys got the minutes justifiably tonight.

Salmons looked pissed? Hmm, he should have known that this day is inevitable anyways IMO...True, it's unfair that Artest took his minutes but Salmons needs to adjust his game, bench-wise IMO....
