the thing that puzzles me is they say the brent barry's three in the game was luck but the martin shot at the buzzer at their home wasnt luck, what am i missing
I recognize the Kings have played very well at home (they always do) and have a deeper and more cohesive unit than expected but the TNT, ESPN, announcers and NBA TV announcers are driving me crazy by saying:
"The Kings feel they should have won all three (and several announcers are on record as saying "they should have)"
The truth = Bones got a somewhat lucky bounce but the it was piss poor defense that left him wide open and the Spurs cruised in OT.
The next game the Spurs gave it away and the Kings won on a friggin miracle after the Kings folded in the 4th.
Only in the last game did the Spurs do their "usual annual fall on the face game in the playoffs". No worries that happens every year, and this team is resilient.
Mark my words they will be back and are still going to win the series and most likely in 6.

Agreed. Spurs should be leading this series 3 and 1 right now and know that, and they will respond!
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm sick of the media too. hopefully the spurs will respond big time tonight.
Bones had a supr lucky shot on bad defensive play by Mike, while Kevin had a lucky shot on a bad offensive play by Manu.
Spurs could be 1-3 or 3-1.
The Kings have seriously outplayed the Spurs in Games 2-4, which is a better justification for saying the Spurs should be 1 - 3.
The Spurs really aren't playing very well, after Game1. The Kings reacted to Game1, and have been taking the game to the Spurs, who haven't shown much will to play defense and control the games.
If the Spurs can escape round 1, the Mavs will be a lot tougher to escape.
EXACTLY.
If the Kings should have won Game 2, then the Spurs should have won Game 3, so it's a wash. Two close games, two blowouts, this series is right there where you'd expect it. In essence, neither team has done more than hold fort on their own court. Now it's a 3 game series, and the Spurs have HCA.
Only way to shut them up is to just win baby.
Actually.....it would still be tied...if Barry hadn't made that 3 in the corner....and if we didn't totally screw up the last play of the game giving them a wide open race down to the other side for the layup...so really no one should be leading 3-1...
You outplay a team if you win the game.
Just like if you win a le only if you make it to and win the Finals.
Of course, the Kings have always had trouble with these concepts and are like 5-time champions in their minds.
Scoreboard talks.
I just wished it was "tonight: already...Let's DO This already!
If terms of effort, hustle, rebounding, defense, game control, adjustments, Spurs are "1-3".
Very unimpressive first round from the Spurs so far.
I don't think i've ever seen a team that dominates game 1 so easily and then fall apart and play with no effort in games 2-4 like the spurs have. sometimes this team is a total enigma to me. and as we all know this team seems to do this every single year. i wish they would make things easier for the fans and develop a killer instinct and start taking care of business. but hopefully (and i belive) we'll see the real spurs return tonight.
Yeah, I agree. It should be 2-2 no matter how you slice it.
Hey not to bring up old plays or bad memories but I have a question. My girlfriend saw on a news website that Bibby admitted he fould Manu on the last play of game 3 that led to the martin layup. Did any of you see this?
Just Win!!
The Mavs could be tougher, or they could be easier. Remember last year: "If we can't beat the Sonics, we'll never beat the Suns!"
Well, turns out the Suns were a lot easier than the Sonics...
Spurs/Warriors '91.
Took YEARS to recover from that meltdown.
Nothing here out of Sacto. Water under the bridge stuff. Just take care of business tonight.
Yeah just was wondering if I was right.
That's what I'm saying.... Brent's shot was a well executed play, and the shot itself bounce or no bounce was the outcome of the play. Where's the luck?
Kevin's shot hinged on a turnover(hack) created by Bibby, on a miracle circus shot to get it by Duncan and all before the buzzer.... a completely non-scripted play... that's luck.
I have to agree with the good doctor. This series reminds me of the Sonics series last year. The spurs will find thier inner "Zilla" tonight and remind everyone that they are indeed the defending champs.
OMGWTFBBQ!
Announcers with opinions! Color analysts with opinions!
Last I checked, the Doctor was a "media member" and is forming his own opinion in this thread.
The series could easily be 3-1 in either direction. 'Sheed could have easily stayed with Horry in Game 5 last year, but he didn't.
The ball bounces in different directions and it's a lot easier to hit a layup than it is a 3-pointer.
How many times have you seen a corner three take that kind of bounce? And how many times have you seen a guy hit a relatively tough layup? (Manu and Tony hit them ALL the time)
And I just read in the Onion that Duncan admitted to screening illegally on Bibby. Does anyone care?
