    Are you serious? No coach on any team in the NBA would be able to lead the Kings past the Spurs in the first round.

    its not that surprising.

    honestly how often does the 8th seed beat the 1st? a percentage here would be interesting. i would guess its about 10% of the time. granted we are just past the first game, but i think it will be near impossible for sacramento to win.

    you can play the blame game all day long if you lose, but at the end of the day its the 8th best team in the west playing the 1st best, or as we liek to call them, the mbp most ballinest playas

    Kings PreArtest and WithArtest are two different planets. So I would not label them "8th seed" along with histories 8th seeds. Granted the Spurs rolled them and will win this series. But HaHa's point is a valid one. Adleman looked completely apathetic and giver upperish. He could at least try a suggestion like the one Haha made. they were down 30 at before halftime. Do something, even if it is wrong.

    3rd qtr the Kings did look better and SAS finally cooled a bit.

    Kings can only play better, I'm sure they will.
    Maybe they will only lose by 15 now.

    Move the game to Arco, take away the Spurs hitting such a high percentage of threes and free throws and give Mike Bibby a decent offensive game and it suddenly gets interesting. You can't sleep on anybody in the pros.

    I think only 2 times IN NBA HISTORY has an 8th seed beaten a 1st seed.


    So the percentage would be something like: .000367%
