Anyone else lose their voice while watching the game at home?
yep. and i couldn't be happier! No voice FTW!
no

but I stuck up for Reke on the Westbrook comparison and going to take shit for months now

Make.Everything.Green.
are we going this direction tonight!?!?
This is my perspective...

I can easily say I think us Kings fans are LOUDER or just as LOUD in our HOMES…. than people(fans of other teams) who go to the actual Arenas and watch the game …

GO KINGS!
WE WIN!

I keep saying that we have plenty of fans.

We’re all just poor…

Poor with very loud voices.

someone tell me how to add a "GIF"? Please...

Have fun :)

oh, and thank you!
OKC fans when they were up 7 in 4th quarter!

Just got home from the game

One word: UNREAL

Betcha didn't see that win coming NBA!

I don´t know, I could live without the gifs of people dying.
My bad

Didn’t mean anything by it.

I know

it´s just that this looks very serious, anything could have happened to the driver

I choose to think happy thoughts

Debbie Downer.
If anything is possible, then imagine something wonderful.
Maybe that collision knocked the passenger out of a coma and he went home that night and saw his child for the first time.

Night all

So happy.

werid

honorable mention

!

2nd appearance!
I can't help it

I know about his gymnast background, but his onscreen persona makes him the least likely candidate to dance around like a complete asshole in TWO movies. I love it.

I'm ashamed to say I don't know the movie

I used to rent all of them as a kid.

As did I

…And they’re a far cry from what I prefer as an adult. I’m not sure what movie that this is taken from, but I’d like to think he kicked the crap out of everyone in the park for making fun of his gear right after the gif stops.

He has an even worse dance number in one of his other flicks, but I can’t remember which one. I think it may be the one with the massive Chinese man who flexes his boobs a lot, and broken glass glued to fists may be involved.

I think that one is Blood Sport

His breakout film but not one of my favorite.

Breakin 2: Electric Boogaloo

Blood Sport is to The Quest as Black Sheep is to Tommy Boy.

I wish someone would have caught me shuffling in my LMFAO costume on camera

It would have definitely been gif worthy

did you dress in a gold robe, crown and hold up a Webber sign?
lol no, saw that guy though

i was in row W, section 117, behind the Kings bench. I think I was too high for the cameras to get me on that side :(

Thunder will DEFINITELY win, Shaq?

Got back home from the game tonight. It was amazing.

I fully expected to have a great time, but the team actually winning – that was a pleasant surprise. I can’t wait to watch what I taped and hear all the things TNT had to say about our great team.

oh boy

you better not …. really I’d advice you bottle the good feelings and skip the TNT tape with comments.

That bad.

We won. We beat the Thunder. Didn’t we get some recognition for that?

Unfortunately, no :(.
Save for Sir Gnarls Barkley saying that it would be a travesty if the Kings left Sac.

Then saying we should move the whole city instead.

That was my favorite line in their entire commentary

Most of it was straight idiocy, a perfect example.

“Charles, you’re fired.” —Shaq

Hey, that was saying something from Charles.

I wonder if he will pick Cousins for his team.

Honestly it was bad

No they didn’t have nice things to say. What they said is OKC fell asleep or bad teams like the Kings can occasionally get up to play on a nationally televised game.

Than C-Webb, Reggie and TNT screwed up the whole arena thing. Basically told the audience the Kings lost the vote this week and it appears the team isn’t staying in town.

ugh

I'm going to watch the recorded game today. At least I am forewarned.

It makes me so angry I just want to…

This is an awesome gif
So angry

I didn’t expect the studio guys to say nice things about the team but what made me furious was that Reggie, C-Webb and Harlan had no idea about the dynamics of the arena situation and made it seem like the team is already gone. They thought KJ was lying about the vote passing this week and one of them said it would be a miracle if the Kings stay. I don’t expect Reggie or his ugly sister to have any knowledge of Sacramento, but C-Webb should know better.

It's not like the mayor could correct them.

Coming out and saying how thankful you were that the residents of Sacramento will not get to vote on the parking lot proposal is not exactly good PR.

He did

Reggie said he saw the major at halftime and told him about the vote.

Right

But he still spun it like it sounded bad.

Truly mind-boggling

Cheryl and Reggie must share the Miller family brain…

I can’t stand kevin harlan either, that whole telecast was painful

Shaq makes magic johnson look like walter cronkite

I'm so mad at myself that I didn't record the game

Nothing like being there in person though!

dance and scream

I was gonna rec

But don’t think I can rec North Korea

i understand your point

but some guys in the world would say they cant rec usa :)

we should all pull for eachother

peace and love and stuff

yeah, thats right

nationalities dont bother, the only thing that matters is: are you a good person or a bad person. thats the only important thing for me. not anyones origins.

I am only kidding

Kim Jong once golfed a 27 in 18 holes.

Until I see video footage to prove that

I´ll consider it propaganda

I mean really, C-Webb couldn't bother to do a little research into the whole arena deal and the recent vote?

Guess you can’t really teach an old dog new tricks. He should not try and be a media guy if he can’t check out facts first. And this is a low shot at him from me, because I love the guy. When they were having the blackout jersey sales, I made a custom Webber one.

But really, C-Webb, I felt ashamed to be wearing that jersey you put on.

man I dont like reading this

Seeing Webber get his black jersey at the game was one of the best highlights for me. I cannot believe he didn’t know anything about the arena. I thought he was one of the guys working behind the scenes to get it done?!? I am very confused.

I know. I own that jersey he put on!

Made it when they were having that sale. I love the guy! But I was so let down as to how he didn’t know that the recent proposal rejection was a good thing!

And I loved him getting that jersey too! I could tell how much he loves this team. Maybe he just has had alot on his plate recently and didn’t see the details of the plan…but still.

It sucked

because he was the one that said something about it being a miracle if the team stays. I thought “et tu, C-webb”

Or as they say in Latin,

et tu, Webbe?

that's it... lol
the only thing that makes sense

Is that someone just gave him the wrong news and he went with it without doing the research on his own. Tonight was a huge success here in Sac, but it sounds like we failed in delivering our message to everyone else. That is unfortunate.

If it sounded like a fail

it wasn’t because of the noise in the arena… the crowd was awesome and did the city and the fanbase proud. So did the team. It was just those airhead commentators. I love Webb, but dammit, be ready (it was a huge night, afterall).

It was disappointing

I was left shaking my head when Cheryl brought it up because I knew she would goof it all up. In all seriousness, do your research. If you’re going to report something, get your facts straight. If you don’t have the time to explain it sufficiently well, don’t do it at all. It did more harm than good because she just confused everyone with no clue about what’s going on. That goes for Harlan, Miller, and Webb as well. An outsider would have left the telecast thinking: Sacramento’s situation is bleaker and bleaker all the time.

well said
Thanks
Well said, but I have been thinking through all this that perhaps there is more to the story that we don't know about.

Perhaps there were were some sources, who passed along some bad news. There could be more going on behind the scenes.

By the way, where were the Maloofs? I didn’t see them there. Did I miss something?

I saw one of them next to the TNT table, and Carmichael Dave said the other one was there too, but he didn't see him

When the one sitting next to the TNT table came out though, he gave C-Webb a hug before sitting down.

I don't know what happened there, but I did see the commentary.

Certainly when they diminish the credibility of Major Johnson, by coming very close to calling him a liar, characterizing Johnson’s clarification of the vote to Cheryl as political spin, that was just wrong.

Oh, you were talking about the Maloofs. Yeah, I did see them on TNT.

Usually, I hear Gavin’s whistle, but it was so loud last night, that I didn’t hear him.

Props to the bench...

…and JT’s dunks….and props to Salmon’s defense.

Props to Donte's defense and his drive to give Ibaka his 6th foul.
TNT really makes me thankful for Jerry and Peaches

I was shocked at how disappointing the entire crew was tonight.

Yep

I know Peaches gets his fair share around here but he is good at what he does. National guys piss me off because they just don’t know each team as well as local commentators or even average fans. Tonight, they kept saying how DMC needs to to the little things like hustle, screens, and charges. When DMC took a couple of charges they acted like he had never done it before. I would be money that none of the three knew that DMC leads the league in charges.

Yeah.

We give Peaches grief, but all in all, when it comes to commentating, he knows his stuff.

I was hating on Walton earlier, so let me clarify – I think he’s better announcing on TV, with Grant, or someone else, whomever. The point being that you can watch what’s going on on the screen, so he can blather inanities all over until kingdom come.

On radio, people want to listen to G-Man, because he has such an amazing talent and knack for illustrating beautifully every step, move, and motion of a player up and down the court. It’s like watching someone try and paint the Mona Lisa and get constantly interrupted by someone talking about the history of art while they’re doing it.

My only opinion on the matter :).

No, no, no...

I pull my hair out when he is on TV with Jerry or Grant. There is only one place for Bill Walton, home, in the comfort of his living room, talking to the wall.

Agree. He isn't on their radar because:

1. They already have some preconceived ideas about him.
2. The Sacramento Kings are near the bottom of the teams as far as wins.

Did anyone take a picture of the arena when it was lit with just glowsticks?
I wish I could've seen that.

Unfortunately, the [redacted] and the Celtics went into overtime, so at home we missed the tip even. We basically came in when Tyreke stole the ball and drove for a layup to make it 6-0 to start. I’d love to see a pic of that.

Yeah,

I saw the lame posession the Celtics had at the end and thought, “the first game would go to OT tonight, jeez.”

This is how I feel about the TNT crew this morning

With a side of this for Shaq specifically:

I love Community.

But most of all i love Annie

Some really sold gifs in here

These .gifs make me laugh out loud
