Barry's 3 doesn't fall back in the basket and the Spurs are down 2-1 with their next game at Arco.
The Kings have already turned out to be more than just a bye in the first round unlike some teams I know (Grizzlies).

Goood point.
Not a surprise, here. The Kings are playing the iso game where they have an advantage with guys who have always given the Spurs trouble.
I honestly think that had the Spurs lost Game2, they would've won Gamd3. If you look at most of the Spurs' playoff series over the past several years, they've always put themselves in a mini hole early on. Seattle last year comes to mind, Denver in 05, Seattle in 06. But the Spurs always find a way to get it done.
Sacramento HAD to win Game3 if not to save face, and one lucky bounce deserves another. The Kings took Game3 as I honestly thought they would, but I admit its a damn shame under the circumstances. You never wanna lose a playoff game by one point when turnovers were a huge factor.
But I think its to be expected that Sacramento is playing San Antonio closely. I think Game4 will be much like Game3. I hope the Spurs take it. If not, hey, its playoff basketball! The Spurs will win this series in five, I still believe.
Welcome to the playoffs.
The Spurs would've played with a lot more fire in the first THREE quarters if the series were tied. These guys didn't start playing until 3 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter.
And the Kings were the lucky ones...
That is a scary thought.
Spurs would not have lost last night if they had lost Game 2.
You can also look at it if Ginobilli doesn't cough off the ball and just holds it until a second is left than the clock would've ran out and the Spurs would be 3-0 right now. I don't think you can really play the "What If?" game when it comes to the postseason.
The scary thing is that the Kings have figured out that we cant guard Bonzi or Artest...
that is probably the biggest shhooting guard and small forward combo i have seen in a long time.Quote:

It's amazing how solid the Kings are with Bonzi and Artest rebounding and scoring down low. Bibby can score, Kevin Martin has hurt us. Then throw in a occasional contribution from Sharif or Brad.
But overall the Kings are just taking it to the Spurs,
and have done so in 3 of the 4 games.
What are the Spurs waiting for? Just toying with the Kings?
Spurs still in their seasonal slumber?
Where is the Spurs' switch on from season/April mediocrity and time-biding to repeat-Championship level?
Well tell me genius of geniuses.Quote:

What the fuck would you do?
You always seem to bitch and be a miserable asshole all the time, wtf woudl you do?
You never bring that, constant bitching, whining and other bullshit.
Bring something else for a change asshat.
T_pork, you quitter and liar, I'm waiting for the Spurs to quit getting beat up by the Kings.
3 games into the playoffs, the Spurs have only one solid game where they controlled.
you fucking dumbshit bandwagoner.
Hey. Take it easy on my bitch. Only I'm allowed to talk to her like that. :lolQuote:

We'll take your word for that as a subject matter expert...Quote:

If Martin's basket doesn't fall in the basket at the buzzer yesterday, the Spurs are up 3-0.Quote:

Please.
When Manu shoves the ball down your collective throats on Sunday, I won't shed a tear for you cocky assholes.
I thought Kevin Martin's basket was a lot less of a break than Brent Barry's.
They get a giftwrapped win at home, and they're all "We are the champions!". Bitches, please...
But less typical. For Manu to bumble at the end of the game is untypical: for Bibby to fuck up a defensive assignment is common. He's Nash (on defense) with a very light tan.Quote:

from here on out you will see the difference between the spurs and the kings in this first round
and you got one as well. Funny how quickly you seem to forget that.Quote:

Case in point, both were very fortunite that their shots went in for them.
Like the saying goes for ESPN games, "This is why we watch". :fro
Hey, we agree on something. :elephantQuote:

Why must you always bring up officiating? That is a bitch move. Barry's shot was lucky, he said it himself. That is what's called a gift.Quote:

Yeah it was lucky, but every team gets breaks along the way. The Kings have caught some breaks as well. In the end though, the better team will always win a seven game series. (see Charles Barkley)Quote:

Was the game over? Were the players on the floor jumping up and down? Players 9-13 are essentially fans during the playoffs...Quote:

I've never seen what's wrong with celebrating a win.
:lol :rolleyes What were you expecting them to do? Just stand there and not say anything because it might offend the king players?Quote:

If your referring to the fans on the forum, then YES I AGREE that some were ready to stick a fork in the series.
I was responding to a post by some dumbshit that was saying the Spurs didn't celebrate game 2. They did, and they should have, it was an exciting game.Quote:

I'm so sorry that the Kings showed some emotion after such a close game that ended in buzzer beating style. What were they thinking for celebrating? :madrunQuote:

Those things are what make the playoffs great.
Spurs would have played game three differently if they lost game two, imo.Quote:
