Open Net: Kings at Knicks
February 8, 2010 by Carly Montoya
The Kings take on the Knicks today at 4:30 p.m.
It’s Open Net time! Discuss the game here on Full Court Press before the game, during the game and after the game. Leave a comment below to begin the discussion.
OK. The Knicks and Kings have allot in common. They played each other in the only NBA championship game that the Kings won in a tough 7 game series in 1951. That was 59 years ago.
Both teams are currently in slumps and looking to pull out and make a run.
Go Kings.

Thanks for the background!
Your welcome.
Go Kings time to start winning some games. It looks like that buzzer beater shot by Kobe at Staples, shot down the high flying Kings. Not to mention the previous two OT losses. Since those OT games the Kings have only beaten the Nuggets and the Warriors if it wasn't for those three wins the Kings would have a 23 game Lossing strk. But i think if the Kings would have beaten the Lakers @Staples right now it would be a different story.GO KINGS!
post them up with strong basic moves. we are not going to win with 3 point shots, fake the pass slow down defense , cant get off shot as time runs out from out of bound pass turn around jump shot or turn around jump pass to a posting man.good luck.
Whatever mental block the Lakers have over this team, if any, has to stop. The 2002 series is over. To be honest, there really is no rivalry between the Kings and Lakers, just allot of grudges. The Lakers are a strong team, and seem to be almost every NBA season. The Kings need to play hard all the time.
Go Kings!
DERRICK FAVORS BABY!!! THE NEXT DWIGHT HOWARD!!!
Derrick WHO?
GO TO ESPN.COM AND CLICK ON NBA DRAFT…
I completely agree. Derrick Favors would be great!
Allstar weekend wil be fun. Tyreke and Omri in the Rookie Challenge, Tyreke and Chris Webber in the Shooting Stars, and Omri participating in the H.O.R.S.E competition against Kevin Durant and Rajon Rondo. I am looking forward to a Kings filled weekend. Maybe next year Tyreke will be playing in the real Allstar game.
wow……now no one mentions trading Kevin. Thats what makes me mad, right when I said trading Kevin wasn’t a solution everyone got mad and said that trading Kevin was a no-brainer. Without Kevin we wouldn’t have won in OT. Kevin had a bad game in regulation but was clutch in OT, Even when he missed that shot in the final seconds of OT he got his own rebound and made the best decision to pass the ball back out, to run the clock down, instead of shooting it.
Now is the time to break the slump and get a win. Whoever wants it the most will win tonight as both teams are pretty evenly matched when it comes to talent. It would do wonders for the Kings if they could win tonight and tomorrow, and go into the All Star break with two wins in a row. We need Martin and Evans to get their act together and move the ball without worrying who is going to score the most points. We also need max effort on both defense and offense from the remaining players. We need to win, win now.
I am looking forward to all-star week end but especially the Rookie vs. Sophs game with Tyreke and Omri . I am also looking forward to the return of Francisco Garcia to the line up ! Go Kings !
LETS REKE SOME HAVOK TONIGHT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TYREKE NEEDS TO JUST TRY AND GET TO THE BASKET EVERY TIME HE GETS THE BALL, IM SICK OF SEEING EVERY PLAYER MISS WIDE OPEN SHOTS, TYREKE COULD GET 50 EASY.
WE NEED ANOTHER BIG MAN NO MATTER WHAT ETHER DERRICK FAVORS OR DEMARCUS COUSINS
Anyone seen this link yet? http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/allstar2010/news/st...
The Kings are represented THREE TIMES in the NBA All-Star game! Rookie game (Omri+Evans), Shooting Stars competition (Tyreke+C-Webb+Nicole Powell), and now the H-O-R-S-E competition with Omri Casspi!
Let's show them how Sactown rolls, Kings fans!
Hey Thanks,,, 10KingsFan10 That is awesome news and great exposure for Omri and the Kings ! Now I am really excited to watch all star week end…. Omri has some stiff competition with, Durant and Rondo !
Wilson Chandler, David Lee, and Al Harrington are causing havoc with the Kings. We got to defend.
Go Kings!
Tyreke seems to be going at half speed i think his hip is still hurting him
whats the deal with Kevin martin missing shoot around hes the player that needs it the most
Yes! Yes! Yes! This was clearly the best game so far by the Kings! They played like a team. Jewish heritage day also, congratulations Caspy. Way to go Kings! That is the way to play!
Go Kings!
I'm so proud of the entire team!! This is the Kings team I love to cheer for!!! Great Job to our guys!
Fabulous! XOXO
TYREKE JUST TOOK THIS WHOLE GAME OVER AND HE WASN'T EVEN HITTING HIS JUMPER WHEN HE GETS BETTER AT HIS JUMP SHOT ITS GONNA BE SCARY.
Yes, biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig congrat to Omri too! I'm super proud of the entire team!!!! No complaints from me tonight!
Especially with the effort exhibited tonight! Yay!
17 before All Star Break! Go Kings
Solid games from JT and Kevin.
Kevin just needs to work on the jump shot and JT needs to face up and keep doing what he's been doing. Like the plays they run for Kevin…almost reminds me of Reggie Miller.
Donte, Casspi, Reke …another day at the office Yesir…
Great game we finally played together as a team. Everyone played so well with confedance and we did it! Go kings and lets get the game in detroit. GO KINGS!!!! 4LIFE!!
LMAO at Bill Simmon's Twitter post tonight: "Tyreke Evans just turned into Teen Wolf at MSG. Holy mackerel. Down 15, 7 to go, he basically started his own layup drill."-
wow. But seriously, Ty was TOTALLY teen wolf in the flesh…I can hear the chant "winnnn in the end…"
LOL
Amazing! Go Kings!! LOL p.s. omg, Teen wolf is totally one of my favorite movies. lol

Is this what victory feels like ? lol
LOL I feel like we just won the 4th game of a POFF series lol
we really needed a win tonight..and to win in dramatic fashion!
WE NEED TO START THE SAME LINEUP THAT FINISHED UP THE GAME DONTE GREENE IS IMPROVING EVERY GAME AT POWER FORWARD
GO KINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Khloe its king patrick your such a great writer when it comes to our kings. Do you go to games? I would like to be your friend. You sound so cool to be around it seems? We both love the kings and i was wondering if we can go to a game together? just let me know? Go kings! Good stuff on your behalf.
LOL is this kings open net or e-harmony? LOL
you're sweet AND funny! lol
anyway, I don't know about meeting up with individuals from cyberspace. I think i've watched one lifetime movie too many
LOL if Kevin Martin puts forth an effort I am ALL FOR KEEPING HIM…FOREVER! I have always loved kev. But he has had a lot of fans on pins and needles with his dr. jekyl mr hyde-like behavior
Anyway, I don't care if he misses shots (after all he has been out for awhile). All I expect is EFFORT. As long as he *tries*, there should not be a problem 
For example, I was so proud of his intensity and effort tonight. That's the Kevin we all know and love. XOXO go kings!
ok, why have I posted so many comments tonight! this is terrible. Time to take a break from open net!
duh dude its cuz we actually won. trust me he hasnt won back many people just by one game. i still say trade him.
Gooooooooooooooooo KINGS that was awsome! I feel the chemistry getting better do you guys!? Im excited
