[Cant_Be_Faded]

Sorry LOS REYES

[genghisrex]

Bang.

[SA210]

:lmao did Nazr even jump?

[ChumpDumper]

Pop is fucking pissed at Nazr.

[efrem1]

Pop reading the rioit act to Nazr!!

[E20]

Nazr Nowtizki?

[T Park]

The Nazr haters are havin a bad day.....

[J.T.]

122-88 final. May as well say we go up 2-0 with this since we ain't losing on Tim's bday on Tues.

[T Park]

Pop doesn't like to run up the score.

He chewed Melvin Sander's ass out earlier in the year for doing the same thing.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Someone tell Pop that the shot clock was at 32 when we got the ball back, we had to shoot again. :lol

[DannyT]

STANNNNNNND up and get CRUUUUUUUUUNK!!!!!!!!!

[efrem1]

Worst Kings defeat in playoff history. Woo Hoo!! That game of a few weeks ago is a distant memory. Let's not give away game two folks!!

[Horry For 3!]

Spurs win by 34 pts :tu

[Duncan21]

well done spurs, tim will dominate on his bday to bring the series 2-0

[A-Train]

Rip their fucking heart out. Stomp on it and shove it down their throat.

[SA210]

Go Spurs!!

[TDMVPDPOY]

if nazr keeps this up, looks like he is in contract year mode.

[E20]

The Spurs are hella good.

[T Park]

Someone tell Pop that the shot clock was at 32 when we got the ball back, we had to shoot again

Then you let it run out.

Your up 31.

I think the game is in had.

No need to jack up 3s.

Nothing but billboard material for the Kings on tuesday.

[SA210]

Why can't we wear all white or all black at the games, like Miami?

[METALMiKE]

im sure Nazr didnt mean to make the 3 lol he just shot because the shot clock was gonna go off.Pop should just sit back and relax now :) what did pop want him to do,turn it over???

[J.T.]

I bet Artest wishes he could take back that dumbass prediction he made before the game. Or maybe not, he's the only person to retarded to still believe it after that. Sweep 'em and rest for Dallas.

[T Park]

No. YOu DONT shoot.

Hold the ball.

What point is it to jack a 3 up up 31?

Nothing left to prove!!!!

[SA210]

I would love to be Tony tonight.

[E20]

No. YOu DONT shoot.

Hold the ball.

What point is it to jack a 3 up up 31?

Nothing left to prove!!!!
Avoid a shot clock violation.

[greyforest]

Pop doesn't like to run up the score.

He chewed Melvin Sander's ass out earlier in the year for doing the same thing.

why care? no one anything does will change the outcome of the game.

[TDMVPDPOY]

lets hope nazr goes to the media, i meant to hit that 3 :D

[mikejones99]

Nazr with 3

[genghisrex]

Pop doesn't like to run up the score.

He chewed Melvin Sander's ass out earlier in the year for doing the same thing.
No, that's not it. Beno to Nazr for three was supposed to be the Spurs secret closeout play in the Finals, but now Detroit will be ready for it. Trigger happy Nazr just fucked up; I guess we'll have to go with Horry again.

:depressed

[greyforest]

No, that's not it. Beno to Nazr for three was supposed to be the Spurs secret closeout play in the Finals, but now Detroit will be ready for it.

how could you know this unless it wasnt secret?

[genghisrex]

I am CIA.

<---

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Man, that is a relief!

Nice win, now just need to shut them out here and take it strong on the road.

Great start.

[METALMiKE]

No. YOu DONT shoot.

Hold the ball.

What point is it to jack a 3 up up 31?

Nothing left to prove!!!!

ok just let Nazr hold it for a shot clock violation.i bet no one thought he was gonna make,he just shot it,its not like he shot it to make it...

[mikejones99]

nba is fantastic

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

No. YOu DONT shoot.

Hold the ball.

What point is it to jack a 3 up up 31?

Nothing left to prove!!!!


Yeah but if he would have held it, that would have been his fourth turnover and people would be bitching about him being too stupid to read a fucking shot clock.

[ChumpDumper]

I'd take the violation at that point. Internets opinions be damned.

[E20]

I'd take the violation at that point. Internets opinions be damned.
I highly doubt it, if Nazr held that to the point of a shot clock violation. At least 15 posts would degrade his 'basketball IQ' and how he can't read, how he makes bonehead moves etc.......

FYI, I've never seen a team that was up by a considerable margin take a shot clock violation at the end of the game in all the NBA games I've seen.

[mikejones99]

The Spurs pitched a perfect game.

[ChumpDumper]

I highly doubt it, if Nazr held that to the point of a shot clock violation. At least 15 posts would degrade his 'basketball IQ' and how he can't read, how he makes bonehead moves etc.......So what? A violation doen't give Sacto any ammo for the next game.

I know the internets are more important to you - I'm talking about the real world.

That doesn't mean anything to me. :lol

[ChumpDumper]

That doesn't mean anything to me. :lolAnd a violation wouldn't mean anything to the Kings.

You're welcome.

[ShoogarBear]

:lmao The only reason Nazr's being criticized is because he actually hit the shot. He misses the shot, nobody says anything.

E20 is right. Nobody ever takes a 24-second shot violation no matter how far up you are.

[mikejones99]

Tuesday is a long time away.

[E20]

And a violation wouldn't mean anything to the Kings.

You're welcome.
I'm not trying to argue about anything, but I'm just pointing what I've noticed through out my years of watching the NBA.

[A-Train]

Goodness. It's not like the Kings weren't motivated to win this game.

[ChumpDumper]

In my years of watching the NBA, few things piss an opposing team off more than a center with no outside shot chucking threes at the end of a blowout. That's all I'm saying. It's just not a good idea with at least three more games to play.

It's a minor gripe, but a gripe. Nazr had a good game.

[Solid D]

Changing the subject...the Kings only had 14 assists and Brad Miller had 0 assists. That is telling, considering the Kings are a top-5 assist team.

[ShoogarBear]

If he had done that with time on the shot clock, you would have a point.

Again, can you recall a single instance of a team purposely letting the SC run out at the end of a blowout?

[Fabbs]

The first time I see the three bigs on the court, Rasho, Fabri and Nazr

Who was questioning my "Three Headed Monster"? :lol :elephant

:smokin :hat :spin

[ChumpDumper]

Not intended to be as argumentative as this sounds, just playing devil's advocate.

a.) Who really gives a shit if the Kings are pissed? If a 30 point assbeating isn't enough to make them angry enough to play with some pride, a cheap fucking uncontested three isn't going to make a blip on their radar.

b.) In all my years of watching the NBA, I have never seen a team intentionally take a 24 second violation and hand the ball back. I've also never seen a team not play defense and just expect someone NOT to take a shot.

c.) Their fucking starting small forward guaranteed a victory in the series. The three by Nazr is a drop in the bucket compared to that.

d.) I agree that it's a minor gripe. So minor, in fact, that it doesn't need anyone to try to make a mountain out of it.

EDIT: Sorry, please feel free to proceed with the subject change... :)

[Sacramental]

wow, yep I've gotta tip my hat to the spurs. they played a hell-of-a-game, but they aren't going to shoot that way every game. I expected the kings to come out with more energy. TP Owned bibby, but i sence i comeback on tuesday.

[T Park]

No doubt, the Kings will use that as material.

It was a blowout and you chuck 3s? Bad bad form.

Sorry Nazr, great game, but was tainted by that bush league play.

[ChumpDumper]

Who really gives a shit if the Kings are pissed? If a 30 point assbeating isn't enough to make them angry enough to play with some pride, a cheap fucking uncontested three isn't going to make a blip on their radar.You'd be surprised. This is the playoffs, there's no reason to start any shit.
In all my years of watching the NBA, I have never seen a team intentionally take a 24 second violation and hand the ball back.I've seen plenty of teams overpass the ball, and it's kind of odd having Nazr hang out at the arc anyway.
Their fucking starting small forward guaranteed a victory in the series. The three by Nazr is a drop in the bucket compared to that.Yes, we're better than that. I agree.
I agree that it's a minor gripe. So minor, in fact, that it doesn't need anyone to try to make a mountain out of it.As you bullet point post clearly illustrates. :)

[T Park]

they played a hell-of-a-game, but they aren't going to shoot that way every game

If the Spurs are that agressive, and take it to the rack like they did?

Why not....

[A-Train]

It's bad form to talk shit about how you're going to win the series and the entire championship before the start of the series. Fuck man, who cares? Seriously. That team needs more than being pissed about Mohammed shooting a 3 with the shot clock running down in garbage time.

[Despot]

wow, yep I've gotta tip my hat to the spurs. they played a hell-of-a-game, but they aren't going to shoot that way every game. I expected the kings to come out with more energy. TP Owned bibby, but i sence i comeback on tuesday.

You sense that you will be back on Tuesday to eat more crow?

[Obstructed_View]

No doubt, the Kings will use that as material.

Good, maybe they'll show some fucking heart next game. It's too bad that the first 47 and a half minutes wouldn't give them any incentive to try. I think the whole series is going to turn because of a three pointer.

Just out of curiosity, why is it okay that the Kings were jacking up threes early in the shot clock but it's not okay that Nazr did it at the end of the shot clock?

I really don't think Nazr expected to make that shot.

[Obstructed_View]

...it's kind of odd having Nazr hang out at the arc anyway.
Considering the personnel on the floor, he was the probably the small forward. I think Rasho and Oberto were in the game.

To adress the latter part of your arguement, because they were down 30, and trying anything.


So you want the Kings to play hard and try and beat the Spurs??

That makes sense....

[Brodels]

Good start. The Spurs won't shoot like that in future games, but at the same time, I can't believe how bad the Kings defense was. They have a lot of different issues, but defense is the biggest problem there. They are soft inside and out; Artest is the only quality defender they have that plays big minutes.

But it could still be a long series, and a lot of different things could happen. Great start though.

If the Kings don't want to show up, that's their choice. The Nazr play was a microcosm of the game; if you don't even bother to cover somebody, does he really have a choice other than to knock down the shot?

Just to bring some sense of reality to this discussion, I think I'd be more pissed if my opponent just rolled the ball to the official with 2 seconds left on the shot clock.

If the Spurs decide it's over it could very well be a long series. The Kings aren't nearly as bad as they looked. The Spurs shooting was extraordinary. They will more than likely have to win a game with their defense in this series. Sacramento's shooters are that good.

[ShoogarBear]

Exactly. That's showing them up.

[Despot]

And quite a few spurs were jacking up threes when they were up by alot.

[Despot]

And didn't Nazr throw down a dunk and hang on the rim for like a minute? Oh, that's just making a statement.

[Darrin]

I hope the Kings fans know the difference between regular season and postseason wins.

[yeahone]

that was a great game and send a stronge statement to the kings

[T Park]

Jacking up a three with 6 mins left in the game is one thing.

Doing it with 30 seconds left and up 31 is another.

Bush leauge.

PERIOD.

End of story.

[kalikot_boy_kr]

:lol BY THE WAY, ARTIST SAY THIS IN THE PRESS CONFERENCE>>>> WE'LL WERE THE FIRST TEAM TO REST. :lol :lol

[Vashner]

hhahhhahah Kings burntz.

[greyforest]

30 seconds left and up 31 = garbage time = who fuckin cares

[Vashner]

Worst playoff lost in Franchise History - Kings
hhha ahahaahh Artest hhahah Joke.. hahah thug.

THE SHOT CLOCK WAS RUNNING OUT!!!!!!!!!!! Explain to us exactly what he should have done.

Holy crap. I'm beginning to think people just need to take a dump on Nazr to get through their day.

[T Park]

youll care when the Kings come out like Gangbusters on tuesday after letting that stew in their heads.

You guys just dont get it.......

[T Park]

THE SHOT CLOCK WAS RUNNING OUT!!!!!!!!!!! Explain to us exactly what he should have done.



Dribble out the clock.

Where does it say you HAVE to shoot the ball??

Run it out, let them get the ball, run out the clock.

Game was over, your up 31.

Running up the score.

Period.

Your in the wrong on this one shoogar.


He had a great game today no question, but this taints it.

[Solid D]

Let's put it this way...with 2 days cushion between game-days, I'm sure Pop will be making sure Nazr stays in shape.

[greyforest]

they lost by 34 instead of 31. they are going to have some shit stewing in their heads either way.

if that pushes them over "the edge", then good - hope they come out fouling everyone, getting t's, flagrants. hey maybe artest can go punch the coyote and get ejected from the playoffs.

[T Park]

exactly :lol

[Despot]

I'm not saying Nazr was right, or condoning it, but Barry and Nick took some threes also when they weren't necessary, they should have all made sure their foot was on the line. When you're up 31, it doesn't matter if there is 7:01 or :25 left, it is still running up the score.

4th Quarter
7:01 73-107 Brent Barry makes 25-foot three point jumper (Beno Udrih assists)
6:33 73-107 Nick Van Exel misses 24-foot three point jumper
3:09 82-118 Nazr Mohammed makes slam dunk (Beno Udrih assists)
1:46 86-118 Brent Barry misses 24-foot three point jumper
0:25 88-122 Nazr Mohammed makes 24-foot three point jumper (Beno Udrih assists)

Where do you draw the line, then? The possession before Nazr took that shot they could've also just run the shot clock out and they still would've won, so why not get on whoever took that shot? Or the possession before that... etc.

[ShoogarBear]

[E20]

Mostly because it's Nazr.
:tu
I dare to pull out the race card. J/K J/K J/K J/K J/K
^^^^^ I'm gonna probably get banned for saying that.

[ploto]

Someone tell Pop that the shot clock was at 32 when we got the ball back, we had to shoot again. :lol
Not with 10 seconds left on the shot clock.

If he had done that with time on the shot clock, you would have a point.
He did. Clearly.

THE SHOT CLOCK WAS RUNNING OUT!!!!!!!!!!! Explain to us exactly what he should have done.

No it was not. Look again.

It's a shame. Everyone played well, but Nazr tainted his performance with stupidity.

[Despot]

Maybe the media will help motivate the Kings and nickname Nazr "The Dagger"

[Despot]

0:39 Udrih Rebound (Off: Def:2)
0:25 [SAS 122-88] Mohammed Jump Shot: Made (18 PTS)
Assist: Udrih (4 AST)

[Solid D]

That'll teach Potopenko not to leave Nazr unattended for his spot, his shot. :fro

[E20]

OK
Case closed. The Spurs won this game.

Spurs: 122*
Kings: 88

*Nazr shot a three when he shouldn't have.

[CubanMustGo]

Cannot believe some of you people are bitching about a meaningless three taken by someone who had never hit one in his f*cking NBA career. Aren't you people (complainers) EVER happy?

[E20]

Cannot believe some of you people are bitching about a meaningless three taken by someone who had never hit one in his f*cking NBA career. Aren't you people (complainers) EVER happy?
I remember Nazr hitting a three in last years playoffs too. :lmao :lmao

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I'll go what back to what my HS coach told us - it's their job to stop you. If they don't bother playing any defense at the end of the game, it's not your job to feel sorry for them.

Some of you are fucking pansies.

[Leetonidas]

Tim Duncan hit a three against Chicago a couple years back and he didn't need to. Who the fuck cares.

[Leetonidas]

The crowd (those of us left) loved it anyway. Everyone started laughing and cheering.

[Solid D]

The TV camera showed Bruce on the bench getting Tim's attention. You could read Bruce's lips after Nazr's shot, talking to Timmy. He seemed to say "Pop is pi$$ed."

Pop was asked in the press conference tonight what he thought about Nazr's three.

Pop responded by saying how pleased he was with the bench players' performance tonight, smiled and moved his head quickly in a dodging motion to his left and retorted.."I dodged that one".

[E20]

I'll go what back to what my HS coach told us - it's their job to stop you. If they don't bother playing any defense at the end of the game, it's not your job to feel sorry for them.

I remember my Freshmen year I got it in with time left and we were down by like 50. I copied what a NBA player did. I made a jumper and as I was running back and I just started poppin' my jersey and dustin' it off and then said to the opposing teams bench: You can't stop this.

[angel_luv]

We were awesome tonight. I know it was a number one against and eight seed and maybe that should temper my excitement... but damn! We rock!

If I remember correctly every one who played scored.

Sho hit both his free throws and nearly had a double double.

Nazr hit a three. I think that pretty much sums up our offense. And to hold them to 40%.

Ron Artest was right about Sac being the team to beat. He just forgot the on part as in beat on.


Whoosh! What a game! :elephant

[DarkReign]

What a complete ass-thrashing.

Grats Spurs.

[A-Train]

If you're worried about how the other team feels, how about giving them a win to cheer them up instead of smoking them by 34?

[mattyc]

41 to 15 point 2nd quarter. Smooth.
